It depends on the client. Damus will allow posting pictures through the app soon, but for now you need to upload the picture to a site like nostr.build, and paste the link it gives you into your post.
Like Bitcoin, Monero is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency. Unlike Bitcoin, its ledger obfuscates senders’ addresses, does not record recipients’ addresses, and conceals transaction amounts. Nonetheless, the protocol prevents double-spending and allows any sender to prove he sent x moneroj to a particular recipient.
#[0] Oh my goodness, Todd Zywicki is so very wrong.
I take it “national divorce” means something more specific than breaking up the United States into smaller, independent governments. Something like splitting the United States into just two countries, progressive and non-progressive?
It worked out pretty well for Hong Kong until the mainland Communist Party took over!
#[0] I was disappointed by Angela McArdle’s defense of “national divorce.” Like many in the Mises caucus, she has a tendency to view issues through a culture war lens (and progressives are always the bad guys). Nonetheless, I think it’s an open question whether larger or smaller polities best protect liberty. In the case of the United States, I wouldn’t say the Constitution does *nothing*, but clearly it isn’t enforcing itself and Americans are tolerating ever more egregious rationalizations for violating it. I don’t expect the Supreme Court to resist for much longer. Perhaps we would be freer with smaller (even overlapping) governments competing for Americans.
Anti-white racism is impossible because some white individuals have done racist things?
I wouldn’t advise anyone to break laws heedlessly, but we shouldn’t let the governing class live in our heads, either.

It’s not a central bank digital currency. It’s a real-time payment system that will compete with existing ones like RTP and Zelle.

Norbert Michel and Nicholas Anthony blogged at Cato today about the 2018 amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act.

“During the 19th century, #cannabis, opium, morphine, and cocaine were legally available over the counter and widely consumed as ingredients in patent medicines. It seems unlikely that Americans of that era would have thought eschewing such products should be a condition for exercising the rights protected by the Second Amendment and similar provisions of state constitutions.”

In the United States, there already is a law: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), passed in 1996. It established a right of patients to their health information on demand from their healthcare provider (with some exceptions, and allowing the provider to charge for copying or transmission). As @theGig said, people just need to demand it. The culture of health care providers is paternalistic, though, so they’re not inclined to give out data without being asked.
I think the idea is that existing Electronic Health Record (EHR) software would store the medical records, but a feature or an adapter would be added to allow it to communicate via Nostr. Maybe.
According to the joint statement, “Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks . . . .” Which means losses are borne by the shareholders of *other* banks, their customers, and their employees.
Not just other banks’ depositors, I guess, but any or all of their customers.
So, if I’m reading this correctly, Silicon Valley Bank depositors will be bailed out, and the cost will be borne by the shareholders of other banks, and their depositors.
