Here are four proven strategies to help you make the most of your limited time. *First, batch your meetings.* It’s hard to get into flow when you know you’re going to be interrupted every hour. By knocking out all your meetings at once, you'll clear out some undisturbed time to work on deep-focus tasks. *Second, do your best to learn some keyboard shortcuts *that can reduce how much you rely on your computer's mouse and trackpad. This may seem like a small thing, but over time, it makes a huge difference. *Third, leverage your environment to change your self-destructive habits.* If you're losing time because you’re distracted by your phone throughout the day, leave it in another room. If emails are derailing your workflow, pause notifications. *Finally, read your work out loud. *No matter what your job is, chances are you write at least one email per day. Listening to the words you put down on paper will speed up and clarify your writing process.

Algorand considered harmless
by professor rat 10 May '22

10 May '22

Well, the project started off as an academic project by an academic who is intimately connected with academia and government instead of consumers and users. That's the whole nature of Algorand. It is destined to be the foundation of CBDC, and not at all the champion of DeFi, consumer adoption, or commercial success. The personality of academics is rigor, all-around, low-achieving in real world, and high condescension. With that in mind, then Algo is not centralized at all, not for its call of duty - to be the technical foundation of CBDCs around the world. Algo is way more decentralized than Fiat is. But that's about it. Algo will be good for transforming the monetary system of a state from a monopoly into oligarchy, or in best case, concentrated aristocracy. The result of such destiny has been, a professional and integrated presentation, a very poor price performance history full of manipulations to artificially keep the price down, and virtually untested in traffic compared with other mass-adopted competitors such as Solana (which is the opposite of Algo for it is a huge commercial success and not so much a governmental favorite). We need to accept Algo for what it is. A decentralizing tool for the ruling few, and not at all a vehicle of independence for the ruled many.

The Philadelphia Inquirer: Cryptography pioneer Silvio Micali on where crypto is headed

The Philadelphia Inquirer: Cryptography pioneer Silvio Micali on where crypto is headed. https://www.inquirer.com/business/technology/cyrpto-mit-pioneer-micali-bloc… "About 40 years ago, Silvio Micali and his colleague Shafi Goldwasser wanted to figure out how to play poker together on their phones. They needed a way to ensure that neither could know the other player’s hands. The two computer science graduate students at the University of California-Berkeley drew up what Micali calls "the first secure encryption scheme the world has ever seen." For their invention, which proved vital to the modern internet, they were awarded the A.M. Turing Award, considered computing's equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Today, Micali, 67, is focused on another application of encryption: the blockchain, which is the foundation of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. At the Milken Institute Global Conference last week , the MIT professor promoted Algorand, a blockchain he developed that he says is greener, faster and more secure than other protocols. Blockchains are typically described as public ledgers where transactions are recorded on an open network. Validating a set of transactions to add to the ledger is one of the biggest security challenges. Algorand says it uses a novel approach involving the random selection of its users to ensure blocks of transactions are more resistant to hacks, which cost cryptocurrency holders a record $14 billion last year by one tally."

The paradigm in which a rich egomaniac can own addictive social media platforms
by professor rat 10 May '22

10 May '22

This conversation takes place in the context of media hullabaloo about Elon Musk seeking to purchase Twitter, the paradigm in which a rich egomaniac can own the addictive social media platforms over which so much social and political life is engaged and what positives we can draw from alternatives like Mastodon and the Fediverse. https://anarchistnews.org/content/liaizon-wakest-autonomous-social-media-an… The Jackass Dorsey trial will resemble the trial of Socrates to the extent he , not only didn't oppose tyranny for years, but helped enable it for at least a year. He should also get the same - permanent exile - penalty, despite lacking Socrates wit, charm, good-looks and intelligence.

USDP vs USDD
by Gunnar Larson 10 May '22

10 May '22

USDP meets USDD: https://usdd.io/USDD-en.pdf This is not the Da Vinci Code ... but DP and now DD are of or relating to a sudden change from an impressive to a ludicrous style of stablecoin branding and pure market innovation. Potentially DD is making fun of DP? What do you think?
