Cataloging ideas for future reflections. Mostly crypto

@MattxH @Cointelegraph First point of the response is. some kind of ad hominem. Stopped reading after, gl

@MattxH @Cointelegraph I feel as though we're reading too much into specific phrasing as oppose to what he is actually trying to communicate. Right after his 32 bitcoin sell he bought over a thousand bitcoin.

@NIKOLA00046 @Cointelegraph Yes, too many people are hung up on semantics

ZEC has deeply hurt people. Many who rotated from BTC or went balls deep speculating during its outperformance phase were hit with a black swan type DD.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but someone out there would take your financial ruin or debt over their disability.

@DeepValueBagger Ah, “the Bitcoin is dead” part of the cycle is here

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@BigCheds @DeepValueBagger Exactly. If this is what we’re hearing at 75k, this far into a down market, how is this not giga bullish long term?

@0xmadeleineee @Erik_Hamre I've had this exact sandwich on multiple occasions from multiple Bartel's. It's good, absolutely, but also overrated

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on.

The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software.

The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check.

Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance.

Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls.

Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else.

A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.

@benjamincowen Compare from the price that *we first knew with sufficient certainty that Gensler was going to leave*, not from the day he actually left.

It’s already priced in on the day he actually leaves, so you’re largely comparing noise to noise, respectfully

@gainerham @HairyCooIII @theonkartwt @neet_sol I don’t think you understand. If the candidate pool is sizeable then it is unwise to do it in one go

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@HairyCooIII @theonkartwt @neet_sol Yea, if you don’t see the value of reflection and contemplation as well feel just fine committing an afternoon of expensive people’s time

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@TrumpoidNY148T @neet_sol Plenty of people out there who get paid more to do nothing

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@theonkartwt @neet_sol Can be more than 5, but here is an example from one of my experiences

1. Review of qualifications - non technical (real person check)
2. Technical discussion
3. Low level technical interview
4. High level technical interview
5. Manager+ interview(s)

@TrumpoidNY148T @neet_sol If there are only two rounds then I have to assume the job isn’t very difficult, intellectually

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@ardizor What’s the address?

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@TwotoeL80223 @KimDotcom Right, and the person behind him who died?

[michael tishchenko @MTishchenko]

@DavidKairoT @Cointelegraph So, uh, what happened to TOR’s popularity again? Oh, right, CIA nodes
