Bitcoin and Bourbon

You non devs should read grugbrain.dev and internalize it and then read the various Twitter arguments where the “big brains” argue over which of their preferred changes to Bitcoin should be implemented.

If the self proclaimed big brains can’t even agree on what the fuck their preferred boil the ocean scheme does, what hope do you have of making an informed choice on the various trade offs?

“complexity very, very bad”

Be like grug, reject the spirit demon.

You didn’t need to see this video to predict this is the type of women she is. You could just as easily predict every other opinion she has based on her gender, her circumstances, and where she lives. They are tediously unoriginal.

1) At 23 minutes Peter talks about how ChatGPT wrote his non-discrimination policy for him.

2) From 33-47 minutes Peter used the mention of Andrew Tate to virtue signal filibuster while completely ignoring the point.

3) At 47 minutes he explains how carefully he has to censor himself given the public position he has put himself in.

4) At 49 minutes he says he doesn’t want people to think he is Alex Jones.

The last time I watched him when he had the two academic commies on he said he was eventually going to move his podcast away from Bitcoin as the subject.

I wonder why so many bitcoiners find him insufferable?

Governments love a housing Ponzi because when houses become money, citizens effectively capital control themselves.

It’s the easiest market to regulate new supply in as it’s fully contained within a domestic market so there’s no risk of some new deposit being found overseas which can flood the market to reduce prices, and they can rely on NIMBYism for soft regulation beneath whatever zoning, materials, safety etc hard regs set beyond that.

It’s the easiest thing to tax because it can not be hidden and it forms the base for the human hierarchy of needs so it cannot be foregone.

And ultimately governments are the ones who decide on ownership - they operate the land registries and adjudicate title disputes through their courts. On top of that, eminent domain is a trump card they can play at any time their own rules aren’t working in their favour.

Housing bubbles will forever be inflated and perpetuated by fiat governments to lock in a tax base and keep capital from fleeing their ability to impose violence on dissenters. It gives them a real world physical address to which they can send their armed goons to shakedown their subjects.

We haven’t even begun to see the value in #Bitcoin’s ability to be borderless, but when the sovereign game theory begins to play out as fiat systems crumble, this may be the killer feature which drives hyperbitcoinisation as the wealthy seek to move their families to safety whilst bringing their wealth with them.

Housing bubbles also automatically raise local taxes as property gets assessed at higher values every year and tax revenues increase as a result.

It was their feelings that led to this and when they decide their new feelings are the highest priority things will get spicy.

Single women vote for this until they don’t. When they decide they want the cops to make them feel safe again, the backlash will be severe.

They will eventually call for the state to “bring them to heel” as Hillary Clinton once put it.

If you have 20M rows in a table that all need to be updated one at a time and it takes 20 hours to do them single threaded, just run 120 threads and get them updated in about 12 minutes. Simple.

I need to write some multithreaded code and I’m dragging my feet.

They created the problem with their idiotic climate hysteria and the policies meant to solve their imaginary problems (CAFE) and now they will use the consequences of those policies as justification for making personal transportation even more unaffordable.

You will own nothing and they don’t give a fuck if you are happy about that.

I just found out Bram Moolenaar (creator of Vim) recently died.

Vim helped save my career. I used to have a terrible time with RSI in my hands and wrists when using a mouse to navigate IDEs 8+ hours a day. Vim let me work with my fingers on the home row all day and that’s exactly what I needed. I started using Vim about the time I started my business when I was regularly working 100 hours a week. I literally wouldn’t have been able to keep doing that without Vim. The fact that I can still occasionally work 100+ hours in a week like I did this week 15 years later is a testament to just how much Vim has improved my life.

We’re reaching that point in the history of OSS when we will be losing many of the greats more frequently. I hope Bram got to occasionally experience how much of an impact he had on the world and I hope that he felt his contribution was appreciated and that the time he spent working on Vim was worth it.

Rest in Peace Bram. You will be missed.

Can you spell PPP and ERC?

That latest uptick explains the $30B+ monthly run rate for the Employee Retention Credit scam that Danielle DiMartino Booth has been talking about for quite a while now.

Whatever it is, it’s interesting to watch this develop.

My dad once dared me and my stepbrother to jump on our craziest horse’s back out in the middle of the pasture with no saddle or bridle. It’s one of my favorite memories from my childhood. I think we were about 13ish at the time.

This man is more afraid of the Longhouse than he is of the men in his neighborhood.

That tells you everything you need to know about the situation you find yourself in.

I’ve worked 92 hours over the last 6 days on my MySQL -> PostgreSQL project and I’ve gotten a steady stream of wins there too. Life is good and getting better.

Instead of being down 50% as we were prepared for in a worst case scenario, our YTD revenue is up about 1.5% after our busiest month of the year. We still expect total revenue to be flat or a little down by the end of the year, but this is already a win of epic proportions and I’m drinking and smoking the good stuff in celebration today.

That nicely greased on-ramp was enabled by the Prime Trust ponzi. Proper risk management makes everything less convenient.

Credentialism run amok. This is just proof they can play the corrupt game better than anyone else. If the last decade has taught us anything, it has taught us that.

Also, computer models made and run by career credentialists aren’t worth much. I’ll be impressed if and when someone produces large quantities of a useful substance in the real world.

It would be funny if gold has a sudden proof of work renaissance.

He’s far too stupid to handle the attention his dad’s fame granted him. But he also lacks the humility to understand that. 🤷‍♂️

Look at the correlation between English speakers who can’t regularly see the stars vs those who can. That’s how the psyop works.

A constitutional amendment to make the full retirement age the legal limit for eligibility to run for any public office.

They have an impressive ESG score and their diversity is 🤌

Living far from the bleeding edge in Linux land is the sweet spot. Let other people sand down all the rough edges before you ever get to them when you are trying to operate software that needs to run without drama.

LTS FTW!

We have one. Sweetest cat I’ve ever been around, but they can be a bit of a pain to live with. They are dirty and stain everything they lay on consistently and they often have digestive issues.

But he acts like a lap dog and will follow around and snuggle with anyone who pays any attention to him since he’s always cold.

If you force all your coworkers to accommodate your unique blend of mental illness every workday, how many of those coworkers will recommend you for a job in the future or hire you if they become hiring managers or business owners?

Narcissism is not a trait the best coworkers look for in people they want to work with again. Good luck working with the worst coworkers you have ever had for the rest of your career.
