throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?
Don't need something crazy, just a 25 min run can suffice.
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?
How would it not exist? ex. Overworking your adrenal system with stressors and stimulants.
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?
What would be your ultimate first book for someone who gets the gist of the practices but needs a place to start for implementing?
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?
Anybody who's done something like the above knows that the early morning workout is the ignitor that gets you on track, syncs your circadian rhythm, etc.

When you sleep in etc, that's when you start to get low energy and lethargic.

throw_this_one··on Suspected head of $21B crime syndicate may be world’s most innovative drug lord
They're prob gonna join local gambling underground circles though. So that money goes to those peeps instead of being concentrated and hopefully the gov uses it for a better net on society
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?
But 2 years to save 300k means you gotta have a top tier faang job doe right?
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?
What's your job and how much liquid assets?
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?
What do you like about what you do? The problem/puzzle solving aspect? Most jobs at a faang are just building some internal tool or something right.
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?
Yeah seriously, who wants to "travel the world" in your 60s lol.
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: How old are you and how much do you have saved for retirement?
seriously 1-1.5 mil for a decent house there? Is that even for real?
throw_this_one··on I just don’t want to be busy anymore
Well put.
throw_this_one··on I just don’t want to be busy anymore
100% agreed, and well put. Tbh on a very quantitative level, our jobs are fantastic. The lack of that visceral satisfaction is real though, and you turn into an automaton after awhile. Do the work, get the pay, etc. You want to quit and mix it up, but you won't make 1/3rd the same in other jobs.

I think the path is to "ruthlessly compartmentalize" your life. When you are getting the job done, do it well and efficiently, and have things like a standing desk and do stretches and look away from the computer etc. Then when you did enough work for the day, completely do a 180 and go out for a run, practice a language, etc. Make the most of your time.

throw_this_one··on I just don’t want to be busy anymore
100% same on all of what you said, and I'm 29. If you're lucky enough to work in a job where you need to produce each week, but can crank whenever you want - go outside to get at least one long-ish walk/bike ride and also one weight/yoga sesh.

I see no point to be sitting at the computer if it's a beautiful day and I already got stuff done early or am going to do stuff late.

throw_this_one··on Ask HN: What will programming look like in 2030?
Java will take over everything.
throw_this_one··on Former U.S. officials describe details of the CIA’s proposals to abduct Assange
Assange, Wikileaks, and Snowden. If these people did the same thing to Russia/Putin or the CCP, they would be gone without a trace right now. It's really sad, these false equivalencies gone wild.

Doing something bad or making a mistake doesn't make the actor bad. That's just an un-nuanced world view.

throw_this_one··on Former U.S. officials describe details of the CIA’s proposals to abduct Assange
Well put. This is the basic argument against these CCP and authoritarian apologists. Most likely they are going by "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" which is a simplistic thing to base your world view on.
throw_this_one··on Former U.S. officials describe details of the CIA’s proposals to abduct Assange
Essentially you're wrong because you're drawing a false equivalency between the US and CCP/Russia. Your argument is that because the US has done bad, made mistakes, etc... they are in the same grouping as CCP/Russia. Which is an un-nuanced argument that the OP explained was wrong.

Basically your argument is an un-nuanced "muh US is evil". Even though you can simply look at the countries aligned with the US and factually see that they are the freest, have the least corruption, and have the most open elections.

throw_this_one··on Everyone and no one belongs to New York
Nice descriptions. How would you describe SF and the rest of CA?

It just seems like it was a beautiful place that a bunch of people wanted to move to. And now there's lots of money there.

throw_this_one··on Everyone and no one belongs to New York
Same here. Especially once you've seen all (or a good portion) of all the little niches that exist. The rich socializing, the bar scene, the scrungy clubs, the raves, the food experiences, parks, dating around, building social circles... etc etc.

It's all a bit silly. But also interesting and slightly respectable because it's silly.

Personally I really don't want to move back there for work once the pandemic is officially over. I do like to go back about once a month or two and get a little taste.

throw_this_one··on Everyone and no one belongs to New York
I'm not even old, 29. But I feel jaded to go out into that bustle and do that stuff lol. Although hopping around the EV and such bar scene is kinda exciting, the people you will meet and the hot girls.
throw_this_one··on WFH is prelude to SWE salary cuts
There's gonna be a strong demand for skilled software engineers.

WFH is something that could be a win/win for both parties.

Market forces will make companies benefit by offering remote jobs.

throw_this_one··on How Iran Uses Bitcoin Mining to Evade Sanctions and “Export” Oil
Iran: "we will wipe Israel off the face of the earth!"

You: economic sanctions are immoral!

Lol.

throw_this_one··on The problem with ‘follow your dream’
Same persona and personality publicly? Lol.
throw_this_one··on The problem with ‘follow your dream’
Trolling.
throw_this_one··on Apple Music Announces Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio
Dude their adding/removing songs from the Liked Songs list is ridic haha. They had the heart button right next to where you scroll. It's been idiotic for years. How can a company like that have such an obvious flaw in the UI?
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Pros and Cons of Switching from Linux to M1 MacBook
8gb is fine for all that multitasking? Some say it's fine and some say "you have to get 16gb!"
throw_this_one··on Ask HN: Does it make you feel down that you are not successful like others?
Dude your post is so silly I don't know where to start.

Confirms what I'm sure of, that there are plenty of people who have a ton of money and yet don't even know how to live life.

Go run, meditate, camp, eat shrooms, read some classic worldly books like from Hesse. You'll realize how silly you are trying to compare yourself to others when you already have enough to live a great life for the rest of your time here.

throw_this_one··on There’s Nothing to Do Except Gamble
They're so worthless lol. The idea legit makes no sense. Nobody cares about owning unique digital goods. Digital by nature is not unique.
throw_this_one··on Self-compassion is not self-indulgence
And the key is that being a good friend is being compassionate, loving, but also honest.
throw_this_one··on The Unreasonable Ecological Cost of CryptoArt
Yeah lol. If there is no physical entity enforcing the contract, then the contract is worthless.

Whereas with Bitcoin, the entire thing is digital. The only thing that is non-digital is the valuing of the bitcoin itself. That takes places in each individuals mind. Thus Bitcoin (store of value) is a solid usecase of this. NFTs are dumb.
