How is “Squatter’s Rights” a Thing?

sqautters rights

I’ve heard dozens of stories that go something like this:

Family buys home or rents apartment. Before they can officially move in, somebody rolls in with a sleeping bag and claims “squatters rights”. It takes months/years to evict them and costs thousands of dollars.

How is this legal? The squatter isn’t on the lease or deed to the home. They’re trespassing – why do they get any rights at all? Shouldn’t the police show up within hours to throw their ass out?

Would Your Ideal Self Act This Way?

(photo: @hannahrdg)

I have found that when I want to do something I shouldn’t do I think “Do I want to be the kind of person who does this?” or if there is something that I should do but am not doing I think

“Do I want to be the kind of person that doesn’t do this?”

Which reminds me of the gap between who I am and who I want to be and helps me move towards who I want to be.

Try it next time you think you shouldn’t do something but ignore that feeling, think, “Do I want to be the kind of person that does this?”

So sometimes you aren’t being better because you feel like being better, but simply because you see yourself in the future as someone who is better

What Math Problems Are They Trying To Solve When Mining For Crypto?

There is a special function called a cryptographic hash. Basically it takes anything as input and produces a fixed-length output. For all intents and purposes here, you can basically treat the output as being random. Meaning you can’t predict what the output is going to be for any given input without simply trying.

For miners, the input is the block they want to add to the block chain, plus a magic number they get to come up with. They then combine the two and perform the cryptographic hash. What they’re looking for is for a output of the hash that has certain properties. For example, the hash (being a number) has 32 trailing zeros.

Picture of the Day

Hunter S. Thompson and Oscar Zeta Acosta at Caesar’s Palace, 1971

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers… and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
