I read somewhere it must’ve turned molten from the atmosphere, but l wonder if like little droplets of metal fell down to earth or if it was just vaporized.

Are we all just gonna keep pretending Wednesday makes the slightest bit of sense? What IS a Wednes? It sounds like a skin condition. #importantquestions #showerthoughts

So I was listening to the most recent episode of Ed Zitron's podcast on my way to work this morning. In it, they touched briefly on the guy who threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's house, and Zitron added a disclaimer that this act was morally reprehensible and wrong.

To which my mind wryly retorted "Yes, but putting morals and ethics aside..."

Anyway, putting morals and ethics aside, here's a link to the episode in question: https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/more-everything-forever-with-adam-becker

Both being the magic things that only few truly understand inside out, which is more complex (to read/write/maintain):

- A browser
- A compiler

Because to me they are both equally magic and opaque. I could tell you what they both do, and on a very high level explain how, but that's it (and a skill issue, I know). I think it's close anyways, but prove me wrong 😅

I thought about it, so you will too.

I wonder if it would be feasible to crowd source mortgages.

I wonder if it would be feasible to crowd source mortgages. - sh.itjust.works

My idea is some non profit gets setup to manage a system where someone announces their mortgage and then they can have friends, family and second and third degree friends and families finance your loan. Let’s say someone buys a $250k house. Each person puts in $100 and then they get a receipt showing they are owed $200 against their 1/2500th share of the mortgage. Repayments are paid the $200 in return in a random time frame of between the first month to the last month 30 years later. Repayment is completely randomized, meaning you could get your money back really soon… Or a really long time from then. There are a lot of other ways you could build on this idea.
