bedane | 6 years ago | on: Ask HN: Unable to detach emotionally from work?
Find another activity (hobby, sports, taking care of someone, meditation, side-project, anything) and gradually have it replace work in your head.
You won't be able to "detach from work" because the mind (especially in people who like to think) doesn't work this way. You'll have to expel it/push it out.
Any time you catch yourself thinking about work in an emotional way, or outside your office hours, force yourself to shut it down and think about the other activity you chose as replacement.
This process took me years but it's really been worth the effort.

The sentence : ...[bitcoin] is only superior for criminal uses... shows a lack of knowledge about the technology and economics involved imo.

As a day to day user, I quite dislike it. But rewriting our business code was not an option.

In the era of bloated/invasive OSes and arbitrary pricing according to the customer's profile rather than according to the value of the product, you don't pay more for more features.
You pay more for the right to deactivate the unwanted features.
Some day you will have to pay for disabling all the "telemetry" and "unique advertiser ID" stuff. Or maybe that's already the case, I didn't bother checking.

So, yeah, talk is really cheap.
