At my first startup we had a shared email for user support. I a/b tested different names and people were noticeably nicer to “Emily Wilson” so that’s who our support email was from then on. She even had a LinkedIn profile.

Babylon completed a BitVM "unhappy path" test to simulate a dispute resolution on Bitcoin mainnet. It successfully went through and took ~8 hrs and $16k in fees. https://x.com/dntse/status/1930272316124287393

Reminded of how Massachusetts blocked residents from participating in Apple's IPO because it was deemed too risky because it was valued at "more than 20 times earning"

"Today, less than a year from Zanskar’s acquisition, Lightning Dock is most productive pumped geothermal well in the U.S. With just one well, we’re now powering the entire 15 MW plant" https://www.zanskar.com/blog/betting-on-an-underperforming-geothermal-resource-zanskars-new-step-out-production-well-at-lightning-dock-is-a-world-beating-gusher

“Venture capital firms based in locales that are venture capital centers outperform, regardless of the stage of the investment. Ironically, this outperformance arises from outsized performance outside of the venture capital office locations, including in peripheral locations." https://x.com/credistick/status/1925855919323091285

the original "Pizza for bitcoins?" thread: "I'll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later..." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0

Did the prisoners dilemma with my kids tonight. They each did Y or X to decide if the other person gets dessert. If they defect and choose X and the other person Y, they get 2 desserts. If they both choose Y, both get 1 desert. Both X, they each get 1/2 dessert. No honor among thieves. Or siblings.

this is what "fake it 'til you make it" is supposed to mean. Act like you can do the job while you work crazy hard to learn something fast enough to actually be able to do it well.

parenting goal: "My oldest son will be 7 soon. And while I miss the 3 year old version of him, I at least don't have any regrets over what might have been. We had the best time a daddy and a 3 year old ever had." https://www.paulgraham.com/vb.html
