Buying property. You can close in 30 days, and if you are buying a bunch of property, you can hire people out to handle things and speed up the process, and if you put offers on a ton of property, you could probably close on a lot of them in 30 days. If you are waiving around $100m you could make a lot happen.


That’s easy, buy all the real estate in an area that’s for sale, scarcity will drive up the value of the properties you have bought. Economics 101.

– This is sarcasm and is poking fun of wall street buying up all the property to be landlords, the world and economy are much more complicated than this… But, it is a quick way to spend $100m in 30 days


I also think it’s probably a good idea to try out the new career path. Doing software dev as a job, and doing it as a hobby because you like to, are very different when it comes to motivations and goals. Don’t think of it as walking away and just being a lowly hobby dev though, you can build your skills and work on what you want to as a hobby, for the problems you are trying to solve and things you like to work on, and that’s totally ok.

Not everyone wants to put in the effort to play guitar for a living, but you can definitely still enjoy guitar.


I will quote the devs directly: “This Verifier is not “a man in the middle”. Instead, the Verifier participates in a secure multi-party computation (MPC) to jointly operate the TLS connection without seeing the data in plain text.”

Its a bit more complicated than that. There is a fair bit of cryptography that happens where you basically cooperate with another party to communicate with the server in a way where you cant cheat.


FYI its in rust, and its very much in alpha, but if you like diving in and are comfortable with rust, come play 😁


TLS Notary is in alpha
It uses MPC and ZK to prove some data from a server (that uses TLS) is authentic given some request. One of the simple demos is proving you received a DM from someone on twitter, without sharing your session token or login credentials with the other party. Another idea is proving you know some exploit (think sql injection) without revealing how you did it. Or proving you purchased some item off a website so you can review it on a neutral platform (amazon reviews but without amazon being able to manipulate the votes)
