I don't know anything about cryptography, but this article says that Telegram is not as secure as people are lead to believe:
"Many systems use encryption in some way or another. However, when we talk about encryption in the context of modern private messaging services, the word typically has a very specific meaning: it refers to the use of default end-to-end encryption to protect users’ message content. When used in an industry-standard way, this feature ensures that every message will be encrypted using encryption keys that are only known to the communicating parties, and not to the service provider.
From your perspective as a user, an “encrypted messenger” ensures that each time you start a conversation, your messages will only be readable by the folks you intend to speak with. If the operator of a messaging service tries to view the content of your messages, all they’ll see is useless encrypted junk. That same guarantee holds for anyone who might hack into the provider’s servers, and also, for better or for worse, to law enforcement agencies that serve providers with a subpoena.
Telegram clearly fails to meet this stronger definition for a simple reason: it does not end-to-end encrypt conversations by default. If you want to use end-to-end encryption in Telegram, you must manually activate an optional end-to-end encryption feature called “Secret Chats” for every single private conversation you want to have. The feature is explicitly not turned on for the vast majority of conversations, and is only available for one-on-one conversations, and never for group chats with more than two people in them."

I go to the same Starbucks most Fridays to meet with my business partner.
There’s an older Millennial/younger Gen X (my guess is that she’s a younger Gen-X) barista that works here. Her coworkers are mostly Gen-Z. There is a world of difference between how she treats customers and how coworkers treat customers. She’s personable, helpful (she wiped down the counter for me; I didn’t even ask), cheery, and engaging. Her coworkers are nice and pleasant but there’s a big gap between her and her coworkers.

I deleted all social media apps off my phone. The algorithms for those apps are too good and sucked a lot of time from me. Primal is the only thing I have that’s close to being social media but no algorithm.

This is part of the IRS’s definition of “digital asset”:
“Digital assets are not real currency (also known as fiat) because they aren't:
- The coin and paper money of the United States or another country
- Digitally issued by a government's central bank.”
They want you to believe that “Fiat,” which literally means “by decree” is real.

Agreed. You can usually spot these people. They’re the ones that usually don’t take any notes or write down any follow up action items from a “collaborative” meeting. The meeting is just to demonstrate their “intelligence”.

Excellent explanation. I think you mean to say they re-sell the same mortgage and not house? A single mortgage could wrapped up in different collaterized-debt obligations (CDO). They effectively “securitized” mortgages and sold them off.

Unexpectedly spent some time today orange-pilling someone who bought bitcoin about 2 years ago (probably due to FOMO) and hasn’t considered it since. He still has it on Coinbase so I told him to get it off the exchange. He’s considering buy more regularly. A possible win if he follows through.

A superpower to develop: listen to an audio book at 2x speed while doing task by rote.
For the past two Sundays, I’ve listened to 3 books on 2x speed while meal prepping for a few hours.
This doesn’t work with every book (e.g. don’t pick von Mises’s “Human Action”) and the task is one you can do on autopilot.
