'growing evidence that blockchain will soon..." is basically the line we've heard for the last 15 years.
I'm more open than most to crypto, I worked at Coinbase during IPO and Avalanche for a short contract after that. But yes, I alternate between it's a total scam and it's a technology waiting for a use case.
1968 was about 10 years after my grandparents migrated from Mexico to work at textile factories in the USA. They managed to buy a new house in a master planned community that was filled by other factory workers like themselves. He could never be mistaken for a white male, still he took english classes at night and started a side business as an umpire for baseball games and my grandmother started selling gold to the other factory workers during lunch time. They raised 3 kids, upgraded their house, bought a triplex, and a couple acre investment property.
I started doing pushups between claude code responses. I started with 10 but now I rip ~50 like nothing. I'm getting a pull up bar and trying to do the same. Pull ups until it completes then prompt and again, squats, pushups, ect. I'm getting stronger and better at code.
Most people I know have apple watches so researching mechanic movements and models is enough for hobby status to me. Like any other 'collecting' hobby.
But yes I've taken a few apart to try to fix and service them, even if it's only with my $20 amazon repair tool set.
Kamala raised $1.65 billion compared to Trump's $1.1 billion [0]. Not like it was a massive difference. Especially because that does not take into account super pacs, like Musks $200million in Pennsylvania.
Probably what the money was spent on should be taken into account too.
Most campaigns stretch the truth a bit here and there, but from what I personally saw and from what I read from other states where the campaigning was more intense generally the Harris campaign did not stretch nearly as far as the Trump campaign.
I'd expect that this let the Tump campaign get more out of a given amount of spending than the Harris campaign could.
But how do they rank in importance compared to other juggernauts like the teachers unions, NRA, or United Auto Workers, Planned Parenthood? Not to mention individual lobbyists for massive companies? because the latter dominate discourse during elections.
There is no train on the westside? Also the airport to downtown shuttle runs 7 days a week?
But yeah maybe it's because I'm a native Texan but I have never considered taking public transport anywhere. Though that's really the norm outside of a handful of US cities.
So like every Bay area tech worker jumping on a bus at 8:00am until leaving the office after 6pm. And those few of us who don't want that are pressured by managers happy unleash a PIP.
