I have not drank for more than a 1000 days. This was the second attempt to completely stop drinking. For the first attempt, I didn't get past 100 days.
I have someone who holds me accountable. That individual started messaging me daily the count: 1 day without drinking, 2 days without drinking, 3 days ...
Once we hit 100 days, it became 110 days without drink, 120 days without drink ...
What has helped keep the discipline:
1. Non-alcoholic beer. I second the recommendations of SkyPuncher.
2. I avoid situations where alcohol is present.
3. Friends and colleagues who don't pressure me to just have 'one drink'.
I perform stand-up comedy at clubs and bars. There's a culture of getting a free drink if you are not the head-liner and it isn't an open-mic. One way I maintain the discipline is to treat stand-up comedy like work - I need to have a clear mind to do the job and alcohol diminishes my capacity to perform.
> Since Filipinos are the largest growth market for Axie Infinity, they must also be a major source of money flowing into the system. Instead of being a net provider of jobs and capital, it appears to just be redistributing the same wealth between Filipinos, and collecting a 4.25% cut for the service.
It seems that the source of money flowing into the system are individuals with capital to buy the incoming producing PPE-type assets (i.e., Axies).
Guilds pool capital to buy P2E assets and rent it out to scholars for a % of all income earned by the player (known as scholars in the current P2E nomenclature).
I think there are currently two acceptable ways to earn income in our society:
1. Take relatively less risk, get paid a wage. Owner of incoming producing assets bear the risk of deploying capital in such a manner.
2. Take high risk. Deploy capital to acquire assets and pay wages to others who utilize those assets to produce (unguaranteed) income for you.
P2E introduces a third: deploy capital to acquire assets, loan the assets out, and take a cut of income generated.
P2E in its current form has similarities to serfdom. The owners of Axies (and the AXS tokens) are the lords.
How many layers would someone need to upload for each trait type? Wouldn't the number of unique NFTs that can be generated be constrained by the number of trait types and number of trait values per type?
hello from Singapore! I've been performing standup comedy for about six years as a hobby. Anyway, last year I went to London and Berlin and I found sites like https://www.opencomedy.com/ and https://comedyinenglish.de/ super useful in finding open mic gigs to perform at. I know in the post venue owners and bookers were mentioned but wanted to highlight that for comics who travel, sites like yours are super useful to us too albeit we aren't the ones really making the money.
I took about three and a half months. The trip can be done much faster if the goal is to reach London ASAP - I estimate about 17 days. I spent about a month in China exploring it using her High Speed Trains. Also stayed in cities for varying durations depending on the feel of the city.
This was an amazing resource for me. i travelled from Singapore to London by land this year using buses and trains and the info on this site really helped. What I came to appreciate from this trip is that it’s possible to travel across the world using public transport.
From my experience landing on sites that have Onswipe turned on, a fair number of these sites don't have content that look good with the Onswipe theme. The reason seems that when the owner of the site is preparing the content, they use the normal theme to see how everything looks, and it probably looks good. They can't ensure that everything looks nice with Onswipe on because most people are probably preparing content on a non touch screen browser and aren't taking the time to use an iPad to verify the content they just posted looks nice with Onswipe.
Is there a way for content owners to know how things will look on an iPad without one?
I love the idea. Just some thoughts.
1. What if the URL I want people to like is not Open Graph ready. Then what's shared looks ugly on the news feed. I know this is supposed to be my job to take care of, but when creating a campaign, there was no reminder about Open Graph and the possibility the story on the news feed will look ugly.
2. Folks could just email the link to their friends after they obtained it by liking the link. And, what's stopping them from quickly removing the like from their profile?
Is an individual's freedom to do something more important than another individual's freedom from something? My country takes a rather paternalistic view on this but like I said, i am casually optimistic that things will change and we as a country are moving towards a more informed citizenry renegotiating the social compact between the govt and people and finding a balance in both positive and negative liberties.
Edited: I can't seen to reply the comment below, so adding the reply here. One of the things my country takes very seriously is both the perception and actual oppression of minorities. In this case, we want ethnic minorities to have the freedom from majority oppression. As an example, there are measures that are put in place that prevents some of our freedom to say certain stuff about the religion Islam in a certain way. To say the rules are like a cudgel instead of a scapel would be right but as a citizen I can see where my government is coming from.
Like the comment below said, generally yes to freedom to instead of freedom from. What is considered not a general case in Singapore differs; that does not make us wrong. Neither does it mean our system is right and perfect. What it does mean is my country is learning and hopefully maturing.
We aren't a police state. We enjoy different kinds of freedom. Sure, previously some of the 'freedom to' stuff was clammed down upon,but the recent elections showed that we might be moving forward in the right direction. I am casually optimistic that we will find the right balance to allow our citizens both 'freedom from' and 'freedom to' liberties.
A question. Is there a way for anyone to know their laptop is taking photos of them? Be it a Mac or a PC. And is there a way to know if my computer is transmitting those images. I wonder whether such apps can be installed by malicious individuals to spy on people.
As a developer based in Singapore, it seems that PayPal is the best option. Would like to ask the international developers what options have they used and to the US based companies - when are you bringing your awesome services internationally?
It seems like everyone thought the goal was "How do we charge for content" instead of "How do we provide value that people are willing to pay for content".
Facebook made a change to allow the use of iFrames in Facebook Page tabs. The development roadmap stated that no new FBML apps would be allowed by the 11th of March and Facebook encouraged developers to create iFrame applications even before that.
There is a critical bug that prevents iFrame applications from being loaded in Facebook Page tabs for users that are using HTTPS on Facebook. Since Facebook is encouraging users to use HTTPS for security, this is impacting developers that followed Facebook's recommendations.
To fellow developers out there, be careful. Wait for a while before jumping onto the iFrame bandwagon.
What about.me did for profiles (facebook), it seems this is a similar take on songs (myspace). It is interesting really ... I had musician friends share their songs by sending a public box.net URL. This would have worked so much better for them.
