I hit 2100 rating on #lichess rapid!! Huge thanks to Daniel Naroditsky and Kostya Kavutskiy for their amazing YouTube videos - they have improved my play so much. What next?! (don't say OTB, I've never played OTB and it sounds terrifying) 😁

One of the things that surprised me following last week's Jepsen report on Radix DLT (jepsen.io/analyses/radix…) was seeing both blockchain/DLT people *and* the database community go "Hang on, 16 transactions per second can't be right"--and expecting wildly different figures.

With few exceptions, you should NEVER start generating new ideas in a group - always start with people writing ideas alone and only then move to a group setting. (We've known starting with groups is worse for 50 years, but people still keep doing it since it feels more creative)
