meantime, another proof SMS as two-factor authentication are insecure - in addition to the fact they could be intercepted by a LOT of parties, Mitto AG, Twitter's 2FA provider, sold user location to surveillance companies when they used SMS to login to Twitter (as you need to know the closest cell tower to deliver the text/place a call)

Andy Grove's High Output Management

5/5 Should've read it earlier. Like 10 years earlier.
Or maybe not. I'd surely dismiss some aspects as "does it really matter?" then. Sometimes you need to experience the problem first to understand it.

Nice and balanced overview by Moxie Marlinspike.
I do like web3 but the overall design of Ethereum and gen3 (Solana, Polkadot etc) blockchains is really weird, and it's not just about latency and tx fees. There's still a long way to go.

The Autodidactic Universe
- We present an approach to cosmology in which the Universe learns its own physical laws (...)
- Learning is, as we will explain, a much more general notion than evolving by natural selection, it is also a more complex and demanding idea.
