Just a couple of Ball family descendants! 😉 On the left, my grandfather Stanford Lee Hunter as a young man. On the right, George Washington. I trace my line directly back to Joseph Ball, son of William Ball—proving those family genes are built to last! 📜✨

If you woke up tomorrow with absolute financial independence, would you still choose to dedicate your intellectual bandwidth to this specific machine? If the answer is an immediate no, the decision is already made.

Do not spend time with anything that antagonizes your character.

You get rewarded in public for what you practice in private. Keep going and slay your dragons.

@BruceHunterJr Pattern recognition is very important bro.

Many think that 130 IQ isn’t very high. This is because midwits online will often claim they’re 170 IQ. 130 is +2 SD above the mean and in the gifted range.

Whoever let these people live in their country really fucked everyone The only place for this guy is a cave in Lithuania

The social media phenomenon surrounding the murder of Charlie Kirk behaves exactly like the one that existed in the early days of Covid. The replies and quote-tweets here are telling. I’m actually shocked.

Most meetings try to do too much and end up doing nothing. The rule is simple. One decision per meeting. Thirty minutes. One owner. One real choice required. Run your next meeting with this rule.

Just imagine a guy like me who's been building computers since he was 6 years old and writing a software almost his entire life. I probably have about 75,000 to 100k hours if not more.

Facts 💯

Please keep negativity away from you. If it's close family, obviously you can't fully cut it out, but you can limit the time you give them.

Peak masculinity is being a good husband and dad.

@sri9s No because humans in large groups are flawed. Shifting from personal goals to group goals.

Would there be more world peace than there is today if every country gave up its military?

Most teams buy tools instead of fixing the gaps that make judgment hard.

In ~2 weeks, if everything goes well, these feature amendments will come to the $XRP Ledger for voting: - Batch - Confidential Transfers (privacy) - Sponsored Fees and Reserves - Permission Delegation - Dynamic MPT - A bundled fix Performance improvements: - Up to 40% memory reduction on some machines best case, at least 10-15% though. - Reduced likelihood to get out of sync for nodes (and validators). Lots of other less splashy improvements of the XRP Ledger code base ❤️

If you want to be great at something. Pick Something. Do that something. And put in the hours. Be PERSISTENT - and then you’ll be great!

"Why do you like computers so much" Me (born in the 90s):

The tool stack is not solving the problem. It is replacing the need for good judgment. The teams that win use fewer tools and make better calls instead. Fix the judgment gaps before you buy the next tool.

@GrantCardone I think you sounded very logical and somebody's complaining over five grand? Crazy. I'm sure they needed that five grand but so did everyone else in the entire f****** world get in line.
