   I've also been doing small improvements to my sleep over the years and share some of your recommendations! What's worked best for me have been:

   1. Good mattress and pillow (this is a 101 kind of thing).

   2. Having the right temperature (same as above).

   3. White noise. I also use a white noise machine and the White Noise app on iOS (which I bought for like $1 years ago and still use it). Ironically, I don't use white noise but brown noise, which is slightly more soothing to me.

   4. Air purifier, not necessarily for the white noise it produces because it's pretty silent, but because that way I guarantee that I get at least 8 hours of purified air a day.

   5. Black out curtains.

   6. Eye masks. I actually wear two at once -- the first one to block any lights, the second one to press against my eyelashes, which I find it better for sleeping.

   7. Magnesium Glycinate. I've tried different supplements, different forms of magnesium, and even different brands, and the one that I currently use has worked wonders for me. Made me go from being a light sleeper to a medium-heavy sleeper.

   Haven't tried earplugs, but I don't really feel the need to. Another thing I tried (but never noticed a real difference) was using a small piece of tape on my lips to avoid opening my mouth.

   In which platform and on which instances have you felt your freedom of speech to have been restricted?

   How were you able to board the right plane if you thought you were flying to Portland?

   I agree with most of this but my opinion is that Trump was the symptom, not the cause.

   To me, Len Sassaman is the best Satoshi Nakamoto that we know of.

   You’re not using ChatGPT correctly.

   As a Mexican who travels plenty to the US and works for an American company and has worked for another top-tier software company from the US, I believe this statement is false.

   E-commerce platforms, “sharing economy” apps, neo-banks, dating apps, real estate platforms, etc. are all used every single day by millions of people.

   Could it be related to the leap year? Our bodies don’t account for it, it’s us humans that do this artificial adjustments. A minute a day is roughly equivalent to a day every 4 years.

    He's probably talking about themself and a few close individuals, likely also from the tech scene.

    Remote work has made it easier than ever for many people to cook at home. Before the pandemic, meal prepping was a pretty convenient way to do it. A couple of hours a week can get you very far.

    > Anybody that mined those earlier blocks on the weird unknown hardware

    Which “weird unknown hardware”. Early in Bitcoin, you could just mine bitcoin with any CPU — you still can.

    A.) That’s a possibility.

    B.) As someone mentioned already, this doesn’t make sense from a trust and security standpoint. Yet discarding this possibility doesn’t prove that (A) is what really happened.

    He died in March 2008, even before the publication of the white paper.

    Satoshi Nakamoto went leap and bounds to hide his identity, this probably also included his online footprint.
15. mersenne Dec 30, 2021 parent

    Can you provide a source on these claims?
16. mersenne Dec 30, 2021 parent

    That doesn’t make sense.
17. mersenne Dec 30, 2021 parent

    I second this. If Len Sassaman was not Satoshi, at least he was a better Satoshi than Szabo.
18. mersenne Dec 30, 2021 parent

    You sound like a person that wants to believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is/was American.

    If the universe is infinitely large (as we suspect it is), then it should also be infinitely small (even beyond our capacity to measure it). Otherwise, it's not really infinite.

    I don’t get it. Care to explain?

    Would you mind sharing what approach did you use to trim the ads? Did you manually detect the ads and then trimmed the file or are you using an automatic (perhaps ML-based) approach?
24. mersenne Dec 4, 2019 parent

    The twist here is that he's make a profit from automating that process. It's not necessarily unethical, but it's morally dubious, at least.

    Reminds me of that Monty Python skit about the Yorkshiremen competing on who grew up the poorest.

    Try Plato (http://www.platohq.com). I used it for a few months and really liked it. It's a bit pricey, though, but if you find the right mentors it could be super valuable.
27. mersenne Aug 19, 2019 parent

    From my experience, it's actually kind of easy to find English speakers here. That's why a lot of US-based tech companies are opening up teams here or recruiting people from here. The government's uncertainty has not affected business for this particular case.
