'it actually can only get better' lol nope. It can get much worse.

Periodic reminder that deaths due to cold (lack of heat) are 5x - 15x more than heat deaths on Earth.

The Earth is warming slowly, mostly in cold places. Therefore Earth is becoming *safer* for humans.

Nice!

For the cold (and hot) places thankfully many humans have access to fossil fuels, which help humans adapt to a dangerous environment.

Access to fossil fuels is life saving! nostr:note15chl0hl03k5zhl7afgasxkf6hugvp50u93dfslcv8d6rfezl0dks7087nz

Saylor finally comments about development on the new WBD podcast and it isn't great. Props to Peter for the constant pushback because Saylor fumbled hard.

I really got sick of him conflating open source development with government, and I really really got sick of the hyperbole of adding numbers to our numerical system and finally I really really really got sick of him constantly insinuating bitcoin developers don't know what they're doing.

This guy is bad news for bitcoin development.

Serious question:

If you’re a U.S. citizen, even if you’re extremely anti-state or libertarian, what government funded programs/projects do you think are the most worthwhile? This can range from 0, to one or two, to dozens. I know this crowd lands heavily libertarian, but I’m just curious.

Examples - public schools, social security, roads/highways, Medicaid (low-income healthcare), etc

1) what

this quote reminds me of chess and is one of the reasons chess is such a beautiful game.

in chess, when you move a piece, you’re attacking new squares but also losing influence over the squares you were attacking before. you see?

chess is the art of seeing yourself forward. the calculation muscle that’s constantly evaluating the gain and loss to every move.

in life we’re constantly doing this by the way. taking risk, all day every day. more than you think.

you need to go to a higher up floor. do you want to take the elevator or the stairs? the stairs are probably safer but you lose time and energy. the elevator is easier but is a man made machine with potential dangerous risks. ok well are we going to floor 2 or floor 100? am i healthy or do i have health issues? you evaluate; you choose.

there are no moves in both chess and life with only gain and no loss. for this reason, both chess and life are nothing you can master or finish. it’s an art you develop as the artist

Imagine using keet io 🤣🤣
