@IsaacKing314 Just like crypto, they have no benefit in a free society. Under authoritarian systems, they’re life savers.

That said, Tailscale exitnode on ephemeral spot compute is cheaper and better for sure

@justalexoki Look man I think you’re great but I’ve got 3 sons and one of them just has to take a quick spank every once in a while. I’ve met loads of kids for whom it’d be evil to hit, and a few it’d be evil not to hit; life ain’t so simple

@shakoistsLog @justalexoki Hah I did “spicy beans” in ~2013 SF as well. My favorite dinner was Irish tea, a baked potato and like 7 hours of uninterrupted coding.

The good ol days

If our ancestors saw all the luxuries we have and how little we work for it and yet how much we whine about it, they would never stop slapping us.

I told a guy at a barbecue last weekend that I had been buying busted small-cap software stocks at 4x free cash flow, and he looked at me with the specific facial expression of a man who has just realized he is trapped in a conversation with someone who voluntarily reads 10-Ks on vacation. He asked, with great gentleness, if I had considered Nvidia. I said I had considered Nvidia in the way one considers jumping off a bridge: briefly, theoretically, and with a clear understanding of the outcome.

I told him I owned a company that sells dental practice management software to 11,000 orthodontists and that the CEO, a 64-year-old man named Greg who has not updated his LinkedIn since 2017, was, in my professional opinion, the single greatest capital allocator alive in North America today, and that I would, if legally permitted, have Greg’s name tattooed on my forearm.

He asked if Greg knew this. I said Greg did not know I existed, and that this was the foundation of our relationship and the source of its strength. He excused himself to go check on his children, who, I observed, were not present at the barbecue. I stood by the grill alone for the next 40 minutes, eating directly from a bag of buns, thinking about Greg, who at that exact moment was, somewhere in suburban Indianapolis, almost certainly buying back stock at prices that will, in 2031, be regarded as the single greatest gift any small-cap CEO has ever given his shareholders, and the host’s wife came over and asked, with palpable concern, if I needed a ride home, and I said no, I needed nothing, I had Greg, and Greg was enough, and I have not been invited back to that house, and I do not care, because Greg loves me even though Greg does not know I am alive, and the math, as it has always been in every great deep value trade in history, is the only thing in this country that has not lied to me.

@justalexoki Objectively: it’s amazing holy shit I’m the luckiest man alive by a huge margin at least 99.99999tb percentile

Subjectively: eh life is okay I guess

Trick is to take the average of the two opinions

@DanielleFong Please don’t read this as anti trans - I am very much a transhumanist - modify away! I just think aiming at happiness instead of responsibility is a dangerous thing is all.

[Moo @erulabs]

@DanielleFong I don’t want to impose it. Just that seeking happiness didn’t work for me. Seeking responsibility did lead to happiness tho - point being my body didn’t know what to do, it was lying to me. My body wanted to sleep and get stoned and wallow. Doing anguishing things actually helped
