There is no bigger professional racket these days than certifications, and more specifically, their renewals. If you're familiar with the money pit ITIL has become since PeopleCert took over, you have one of three ways to keep it active:

1. Take the same exam again - $300

2. Pass another higher level ITIL certification - $700+

3. Pay $122/year so you can submit "Continuing Professional Development" hours - $366

Unless your organization is footing the bill, steer as far away as you can. I let all of my CompTIA, Cisco, CWNP, and Microsoft certs expire within the last year or two because I would have been out another over $1k annually to keep them current. It would be different if most of these weren't static technologies or subject matter.

The fact that employers continue to force this charade on their employees versus coming up with an alternative is absolutely beetle headed.

TL;DR: Fuck them certs and the moron MBA's horse they rode in on.

While true, it feels like the majority are consolidating and interacting with the same 20 people based on all of the trending lists. So spending an hour scrolling for something is not a good user experience and will only get worse if she follows more and they exhibit the same behaviors.

Like I saw a GM post reposted like 15 times and it was effectively low value spam. I'd challenge anyone that comes through here to get out and actually interact with people outside the normal handful of people. Or these folks will fuck off back to Twatter.

Man, I think I jinxed myself with this note. Hopefully I’m coming out of the back end of this. Lost taste for most things again this time around. nostr:note1xxl80j4h4x34kz7j80jpq0dpq3t3vmcgpx5ms7ny4t5ez3vhfazscjr86v

Definitely a treat. It's super satisfying.

Hopefully they have the super fragrant soaps that also seep in during the process for that little extra something.

What are some common reasons that a #BitAxe would just quit hashing? Just took a look at mine and noticed it flatlined. Looking at my pool page, it just stopped early AM. A reboot got it back to hashing but just curious what the root cause could be.

I feel that.

Also doesn't help that the large majority of people just do drive by notes or they only interact with their cliques.

I see it now in Coracle. It has a negative WoT score so it looks like it is getting blocked/filtered out in a multiple clients.

You could also make the argument that interference has led to bigger, badder ones. For example, a lot of the modern companies came out of the Microsoft antitrust case over Internet Explorer in 1998.

SEC Chairman Gary Gensler under investigation by Jordan, McHenry and Comer for political favoritism in hiring. In doing some cursory searching on him, he was a coauthor on "The Case for Convenience: How CBDC Design Choices Impact Monetary Policy Pass-Through." I'm sure that's nothing, right?

I believe the Nostur client does and others have it on their roadmaps. But I do agree with you, that is a very big piece that is missing to bridge the X functionality gap.
