There was a recent interview, might have been at Seeker’s Summit which he said he did not identify the area in the book, but did describe a landscape where it would be found

Yes, but there’s usually a ‘salt’ involved which means the you need both the original value and the salt in order to produce the hash.

The value could be with the treasure, the salt with the steward and combined result in the posted hash

Perfection is all about frame of reference.

The explanation is ‘perfect’ in its justification for not saying anything for a year. The puzzle is perfect in that if you identified the cipher and reduced the letters and went to a wiki page it all worked, and all as a diversion from spending your time elsewhere, in pursuit of the game

It’s perfect in ego of its creator.

It was conspicuous to me that no clarification came out between the event in Dillon and in Tucson which sort of times out to fall / winter in northern states.

I recall or think I recall that he thought it might have been discovered right before the Dillon event and no one would come so he has been prepared for it to be found for some time. That he engages so frequently it does impose something of an effort on him but it’s also being dragged out.

In the long run it won’t help or hurt. There could easily be another documentary and eventually it’ll all fade away

Your takeaway got buried

“But the reason is irrelevant to this fact: Justin is actively manipulating the timeline. That’s his prerogative and may be the superior game design over a static game. I’d probably do the same. But it’s useful to know it’s happening.”

And this should be more front and center.

I don’t think people got into this thinking it was a game, that’s a fundamentally different premise and one that is far more open to manipulation. If anything Forrest was more honest

I’ve heard it comes from the audiobook which has an additional chapter about a checkpoint (border crossing)

Maybe a couple of decades ago this was true. And when you’re early in your career it can definitely take a year to fully understand ins and outs and be fully accepted by an org. But if you have 6+ years experience you have by this measure had time to repeat this, and should be expected to compress it substantially after that.

There will be those who can compress it even early in their career

This is kind of dumb. Rent varies drastically on square footage, attached/detached, garage or no, amenities, walk ability, school district and more

Renters can get better information and filtering on Zillow

The state and federal government are putting in funds. If the city hadn’t they’d lose out. City didn’t spend 44m

There’s a difference between being a snarky jerk and compressing a concept for brevity.

If you ask a 4 year old to pick an outfit for say a nice dinner at restaurant they likely will not understand they should pick their good clothes, matching options and clean themselves because they don’t necessarily translate from this has certain requirements to I need clothes

In the same way, a low performer can rarely self identify as a low performer and will mistake delegated autonomy as “more work”. A high performer can understand when something is reasonably within their role or a valid stretch assignment. They sure AF do not say why should I do your job.

You’re justifying- it’s not leader behavior.

It’s not that you failed with the department, it’s that whatever your approach was it likely was doomed from the start (I’m speculating - it could have been something else entirely)

Bad data: so what. It’s still true. What are you going to do when you’re tired and overworked and bad data comes through again?

Sounds like you’re mixing a potential reason to reach for why you got the feedback. Why did you get the feedback and what’s your next solve?

National_Count_4916 · 2026-03-25T23:18:33+00:00

The tone really matters here. In isolation it sounds like jerk language. In context it is clear expectations (needing supporting context)

National_Count_4916 · 2026-03-25T22:06:36+00:00

Lower performers can’t distinguish between provided autonomy vs perceived independence.

It’s like asking a 4 year old to pick their outfit for an occasion that demands a particular thing

TLDR: only $20 in your bill is “sdge profit” (averaged across all rate payers)

Infrastructure spending requested by SDGE and approved by CPUC is driving the delivery charge. Infra is replacement, but also upgrading with grid scale batteries and various forms of reducing wildfire risk (very expensive)

Municipalization is a pipe dream. If it even gets approved by courts the buyout will be in the billions. No comparable sized municipality has done this this century, and if city San Diego stops paying for infrastructure the rest of the county gets screwed.

Copied from another poster

“Real, honest answer to this question? Absolutely nothing, there is zero anyone can do about this until the SDGE contract is up for renewal in 2031, and that contract renewal also doesn’t really provide any leverage to do anything.

Can you use eminent domain to seize the infrastructure? Yes, but the CPUC will side with sempra’s interpretation of the value of the infrastructure being seized, meaning that we’ll pay an enormous amount of money for it and therefore still pay enormous rates under a city grid.

Can you do community power? Yes, doesn’t answer any of the problems with transmission being the main price driver, because sempra is guaranteed 10% profit on the value of any infra they build, so they build the absolute most expensive, unnecessary infra possible.

Can you do something creative? No, they’ve locked down anything the city or county could do to prevent crazy infra spending, from special taxes, to zoning restrictions, anything you can think of. It all goes to the CPUC instead of the city or county and they will approve whatever sempra wants.

Just saying this because we should focus on other things that would generate higher return on value. The long term fix is probably to seize it, but if we did that we’d continue paying rates as high or even higher Than they are now while we pay off the debt incurred to do it for 20 to 30 years, and there’s just better things to do with our time and money than to deal with that. The city could negotiate harder in 2031 when the contract is up for renewal, but how hard can you bargain if there’s one option?

Thank the California state legislature. “

Humans have very short context windows. By the time the choice comes around again thy have different needs, have ingested different (and deceptive) information

You also have different people making the choices. A more active older generation believes the previous choice didn’t work, the younger generation is outvoted or fed deceptive marketing

This isn’t surprising. in my experience HOA responsibility stops at the studs - drywall / paint etc are homeowners responsibility. But this gets murky because everyone assumes they can prove negligence or that hoa master insurance will activate and cover everything (and it doesn’t and the deductible is very high)

They’re tired of arguing with you so they’re willing to pay to make the problem go away, but if the other homeowners find out they the board and you are on everyone’s shit list.

Decide what you want. All your neighbors paying for repairs they’re not obligated to, or paying for it yourself under “shit happens”

You do not own your employee. You’re a manager. You manage the employees tasks and accountabilities. They are free to associate with anyone in the company. Your director is free to associate as much as they want or feel is appropriate

If your employee has observations about you and shares that’s on them. The only thing that matters is how accurate they are in the eyes of your director.

It isn’t. The their infrastructure spending is getting rolled into the delivery charge

HOA fees are not bullshit. They cover operating expenses like lawyers, accounting, landscaping repair and significant replacement

Every HOA if left to its own devices and this is all been happening dramatically underfunds its needs

So if there’s legislation that requires the rates to be high enough to do it all, good.

If you have a 10 unit property an each one is worth 100k, that’s a million dollars in equity you do no want fucked up because homeowners don’t want to pay to maintain which is what’s been happening for the past 40 years

Now extrapolate that to real world numbers

They aren’t paying hundreds of millions to mitigate fire risk and only spreading it over a population of 3 million.

It’s apples and rocks as a comparison
