Growing up I was always astounded by how fast my Mother could take notes and remember so many details based on what looked like a bunch of crazy scribbles to me. I had always wanted to learn it but never took the time as I got older. Might be something worth checking out.
You should also check out Beaker Browser. It is a browser built around the dat protocol. Really great community and even has a few decentralized social networks already.
I was thinking the same thing while reading through this essay. I know the firm he works for (A16Z) is investing in the cryptocurrency area and even just did a podcast[0] on it.
Regardless of his opinion, he probably should have added a one-liner as to why it he didn't think it relevant.
Otherwise he leaves the reader wondering did he forget? or not think it will have impact? or feel it's outside the scope of what he''s discussing?
Regardless, it was an interesting read.
I haven't had home internet in well over five years and it is absolutely fantastic. I did it while in school so I could focus on getting reading and homework done and found that I really enjoyed it. I still use a smartphone but will leave it in another room if I want to read or focus on something other than tech.
I have re-read this book constantly since purchasing it well over 10 years ago. The chapters on facing resistance and how to deal with it constantly resonate with me when working on my own projects.
