I think you forgot to jump in a cold lake, stay up late watching heavens whirl above, have a cup of tea, fall in love, teach a child to whittle, and take a walk in the rain.

Life is only a slow roll to death if your calculus matches your over Lord's. Wealth and power they can control and all who toil for it, but Love and Life they cannot touch nor the souls who take joy in it.

No. Money is at best a means to acquire something else. So in some sense it is never about the money. If it is about the money as an end then we are all idiots.

Depends. Is your culture worth fitting? Teams can and do collesce around shared ideals that feel important to them but are in reality shallow, vapid, and antithetical to creating a great product.

The fact that these tend toward the mean rather than the minimum, implies that they are positively correlated with reproductive success, but some other variable begins to dominate after exceeding the mean. Since you have accounted for all the physiological variance the missing factor must be ideological.

I posit that it is the mere perception of being exceptional that is the problem. Pride. It is just pride. Humility allows women (and men) to live more freely for others and for greater goals than themselves.

The implication is kind of entertaining. If a society is steeped in a sense of humility then it is precisely the women who will cause an upward trend in the means of beauty, intelligence, athleticism etc.

I was up all the last two nights with a newborn, so whatever it is, I'm not it and I don't think this tea is helping.

My idea is to build a wasm based VM with a distributed filesystem. Then over time add distributed io and compute. Imagine having your code editor available and running on all your devices without having to sync your code. Just move from laptop to desktop and pick up where you left off. The VM even moves the running code to the most effective core across all your machines.

That way compiling from your phone would automatically use your desktop etc.

It gets even more powerful if you have trusted contacts with mutual resource sharing agreements. They can act as an off-site back up as well as giving everyone with enough friends access to supercomputer like performance for highly parallel (and not too sensitive) workloads. Blender rendering for the masses!

Thanks be to God!

My wonderful wife just delivered baby #6.

Western Maryland? I have to admit I didn't know Maryland had a west. In my mind it is all DC and Baltimore, not precisely places I would choose to raise a family.

Cumberland?

If it scales linearly then my $500-ish worth of BTC will be worth.. carry the 1.. $50,000! Nice I guess but not exactly retirement money.

And no I can't just buy more Bitcoin, with 6 kids I have other priorities.

There is simply no way to do this. Even if you control for weight and muscle mass men are far stronger. There is some overlap in the distributions but the peaks for various types of strength are multiple standard deviations apart.

We use the language "male and female" because it is useful and descriptive. Pretending they are arbitrary categories is intentional stupidity.

It might be interesting to make some sport with a really complicated set of rules that levels the playing field, but I doubt many athletes would want to play it.

Sports may develop complex rules but they usually have easy to understand objectives. Jump far, jump high, arrive first etc.
