Now I'm intrigued but I'm assuming something like jail/prison. :D

The parts I found most interesting:

> Effect of sexual constraints: Increased sexual constraints, either pre or post-nuptial, always led to increased flourishing of a culture. Conversely, increased sexual freedom always led to the collapse of a culture three generations later.

> Highest flourishing of culture: The most powerful combination was pre-nuptial chastity coupled with “absolute monogamy”. Rationalist cultures that retained this combination for at least three generations exceeded all other cultures in every area, including literature, art, science, furniture, architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Only three out of the eighty-six cultures studied ever attained this level.

From what I've been told you shouldn't have anything other than water during fasting (for IF). That includes coffee & tea.

Just a heads up but if you click on the video with the pop up overlay & play it, then exit/close the modal, the video will continue playing in the background.

The article is paywalled for me. Anyone have another link possibly?

This doesn't really answer the persons question in my opinion. Are we supposed to assume this person has a BS in Computer Science? In that case it's more like 4.5 years and not 6 months.

This article states that:

"Bitcoin’s initial code had a poker client included."

Does anyone have more information about this? I had no idea this was the case.

Why on earth is that unfortunate? Seems like a positive thing to me, even if some people don't make it to the pinnacle of their craft so what? If someone has gainful employment and meaning in their life I see that as a net positive.

Intermittent fasting changed my life. I've quit coffee, eat way healthier and generally feel better & have a uplifted outlook on life. I'd definitely recommend the Zero app. I do the 13 hour fast but sometimes will go up to 15-16-17 hours whenever possible. Also don't forget to take a cheat day every now and then!

Honest question, why would competent developers subject themselves to this kind of treatment? If a company ever "requested" that I work Saturday or Sunday I'd be gone later that same day.

> According to court documents obtained by ZDNet, and the suspect, Vishwanath Akuthota, 27, filmed himself while destroying some of the computers.

Never understood why people film their own crimes?
