I mostly nod along to your points. The whole thing about the finite nature of time really hits home. We're all running around with a ticking clock, trying to cram as much as we can…

Looking good, great stuff! This is going to be like those free character counter websites for me. Definitely something I could do on my own, but super handy as a single-serving web…

Wow, I would not have thought that Python would be #1 like that.

This is going to continue to be a problem as the US infrastructure for electrical vehicles is slowly upgraded. I think the only solution for now is to never depend on a charger out…

Wow, that's fantastic. That is true, measurable technical progress. Go engineers.

This seems incredibly brittle - just like software DRM that needs to phone home. What happens 15 years from now when they shut down their servers?

What's weird is that this didn't move the market at all and the news out of China a few weeks ago tanked prices. Is China just that much more of a player in the bitcoin economy?
