Where/how did he learn to code? What resources?


I described his journey here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42313045


Can these negative effects be countered/offset by continuing weight training? I lift 2-4 days a week.


Yes, but you would certainly still see some - it's just a consequence of weight loss. Even IFBB bodybuilders on god knows how many steroids see some muscle loss when cutting.

Eat a whole lot of protein, lift, and you're going to be doing more than fine in the muscle loss department.


Certainly, just like with any other diet.

I gained muscle mass by doing strength training 2 times a week while on GLP-1 drugs.


It's written in Java. Jesus.


If you want to send a million $ in USDC, BTC or another digital asset, can't you just send 9999 100 times and resolve the difference on fees?


That's called smurfing and is bound to get you flagged as a money launderer.

Structuring like that is explicitly mentioned in the tax code and is forbidden.

Transactions that attempt to avoid the $10k threshold must also be reported on Form 8300.


Yep, not only forbidden but a criminal offence in all Western countries.


Blog post, not blog?


It’s a blog post about rewriting/redesigning the foundation of his blog.

It would be titled “A New Blog Post for 2024” if all he did was write a new blog post. But if you read the blog post, you’ll see that he overhauled the entirety of his blog.

Maybe an analogy would help. If you’re a game developer and you replace the game engine of your game, you might update your in-game “about/credits” page to mention “in release x.y.z we switched from Unity to Unreal Engine” — what you wouldn’t do is say “in release x.y.z we updated this in-game ‘about’ page to, well… mention that we changed the about ‘about’ page to now state that we changed the ‘about’ page”.


But the OP is talking about creating a new blog (a website that has a collection of blog posts).


Merry Christmas :)

Apparently it was, but not anymore. It's $1.07 now: https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/EURUSD:CUR


> The negative outcomes are mainly due to societal stigmatization. Which explains the 'not telling the whole story' pretty well too. It's not exactly great dinner conversation.

Source please?

> Ps I'm not advocating it as a career option but I know some people are drawn to it and genuinely like it. Reddit is/was full of people doing it for free and I don't think it's a bad idea to try to make a job out of it for those people.

This content, free or not is a net negative on society.


source on why you don't talk about porn at the dinner table? I don't know, there may be some societal etiquette handbook somewhere.

But for the first part, it's a psychological phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performativity

specifically the Barnsenian form: https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/22415/

>This content, free or not is a net negative on society.

Ehh, Reddit isn't THAT bad. Not compared to Twitter or Facebook, at least.


Well the people I generally meet would talk about porn at the dinner table when we go out and many of them publish on OnlyFans too lol :P I also often repair sex toys for my friends.

But I wouldn't imagine this to be a popular topic when meeting up with the in-laws that's all.


Not everyone who finds it objectionable is prudish or an American "Chirtian".

I personally find it deeply harmful and a net negative on society and I'm neither of those things.
