  POE2 looks lackluster at best. One class, no acts, econ reset.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mark Klein showed us this was true years ago.

  Tried calling a new Indian place in town and they wanted a credit card to book a reservation. Didn’t end up going.

  There are extended security options for win10. Might be worth it to consider kicking the can a bit farther down the road. 0patch.com

  Problems exist, but there’s never been a safer time to be a homosapien on Earth. A book called Abundance helped me gain a little perspective in these gloomy days.

  It varies by org but yes verticals are usually product silos that serve certain types of customers or needs.

  I used to think this way too, or hand wave away all the inconvenients as lessons to be learned, but there is a very valid argument to make that the best thing we can do as a species right now, is to focus inward here before we move out there. Wall before you run type thing. The book mentioned earlier covers a lot of these topics in detail and if you are interested I’d highly recommend as it reshaped my view of the current options. godpseed

  Yes it is! Right now no one can hurtle an asteroid at earth to end it instantly. When space mining takes off that’s a very real threat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not risk free. When you give people access to space and still have terrorism and wars, things can end badly quickly.

  There’s also a valid argument around where to best focus those resources now. We are nowhere near ready for space colonization on any scale, let alone sustainable ones.

  A City on Mars by the Wienersmiths dives into some of these challenges if you are interested.

  I already eat way less fast food since they started hiding all the ‘deals’ behind the apps. Win win imo.

  The only reason we still have Shakespeare is preservation.
