That's an amazing chart. They should do two lines though, one for North and one for South.
Agreed, a state can be subordinate to another. But in such a case they typically don't have overlapping jurisdictions, i.e. they define in which cases something gets escalated to the higher instance.
What is your definition of state?
By violence I mean physical violence. They don't have a right to (nor monopoly on) physical violence. Whoever holds that power is called the state - the neighborhood association can only request the state to act on its behalf, not order it. Also, some of the association's rules may be invalid, if they contradict the laws of the state. They are then unenforceable, even if you've agreed to them. They are superseded by the laws of the state.
A state is usually understood to hold a monopoly of legitimate violence within its territory, so I don't know what kind of neighborhood you're living it but it may be time to move ;)
I don't know that much about mining pools. From what I've learned, miners can easily switch between pools, so if one pool does something shady it can quickly lose its hashrate to a competitor. Mining pools are centralizing in the sense that they organize the work for the participating miners; in particular, they select the transactions going into each attempted block. However, miners clearly understand that decentralization is key to bitcoin's value proposition, and so avoid converging on too few pools.
I guess a state can require pools that are registered as companies within its jurisdiction to kyc all individual miners participating in them. I assume this is often the case anyway because a pool and its miners have a commercial relationship, with regular payments from the pool to the miners. But since the pool itself does not have that much infrastructure associated with it (unlike the large miners) it can easily move to a different jurisdiction, at least physically.
What specifically? Maybe I can help
There isn't currently a usable open hardware SoC, Wi-Fi radio, cellular radio, SSD, touchscreen, etc.
Running an open source OS doesn't make hardware open. Using an open source late stage boot chain (coreboot, etc.) doesn't make the firmware open, as that's a tiny part of it and it still begins from closed source hardware/firmware.
Having the sources for an open hardware SoC doesn't mean you can simply build it yourself. You need a manufacturer to build it for you, and their manufacturing process will be closed source. The end result is not really open, and even if it was, individuals in the main couldn't verify that it is.
Pixel phones uses their open source Trusty OS for the TEE (TrustZone) and secure core (core in SoC which talks to secure element). Pixel-specific variants of Trusty OS are not published yet, as far as we know, but we may just be missing where they publish it (unlikely though).
Secure element has https://opentitan.org as an open source project. Titan M2 is a RISC-V core sharing a lot with this, but similarly the Pixel-specific code isn't published yet. They said they'd publish it but it's takign a long time to do it. ARM NDA likely blocked it before.
GrapheneOS goes a long way toward not having to trust the hardware, any compromise of it, would then also require a further OS based exploit to compromise your data. There does not exist any disclosed exploits for GrapheneOS and we are a high value target.
Interesting, thank you. I will try to learn more about what is inside the Pixel. Can you explain (in layman's terms) why GrapheneOS does not need to trust the hardware?

Who is closest to calling itself "freedom tech" in the hardware space? Everyone says to use GrapheneOS but that means getting your hardware from Google - I mean, wtf have we learned nothing?
I would love to have open source hardware, both for phone and computer (laptop or desktop). Ready to pay a premium for it. I hear Start9 has fairly open hardware but they only see it as a side quest.

True... you could actually make a reposter account run by an AI (continuously trained by yourself), that you and potentially others could follow.
But then you wouldn't have a direct subscriber relationship with the original posters
On Nostr, or anywhere for that matter, I would like to 1) see things that interest me, and 2) mostly avoid things that don't interest me.
When I follow a person, I see the entirety of what they post, so if I am only interested in their English-language Bitcoin content, I have to accept to also see all their food pics that I don't care about and the Spanish-language content that I don't understand.
Can I filter to achieve both 1) and 2) simultaneously? Such filtering should be done on the client side, basically by training an AI to filter my feed and retain only what I am most likely to be interested in.
Are people already doing this?
The value of your house can even be a liability depending on the jurisdiction's wealth tax/property tax
why sorry, I feel the same - it sounds like a drug app
I wouldn't ascribe it to cynicism. It's true that young people spend stupid amounts on luxury items, like the flagship smartphone every few years, which looks much like irresponsibly high time preference. I think most of the older generation don't realize how much harder it is to achieve house ownership today. They had a much different situation: good wages and cheap houses when they were young, then booming stock and housing markets as they made their way into wealth, now cushy retirement money coming in every month. The lesson they naturally internalized is that if you just work, you'll be fine.
It's very hard to put yourself in someone else's economic shoes. I think the only ones who really get it are the financially savvy parents of kids who now "should" be able to buy a home, and who help them run the numbers and realize... they're screwed
Yeah but he can't see through his Metaverse headset
Dang, we should buy the #nostr devs rounds of beer 🍻 to have a laugh together and NIP tensions in the bud! #pardonthepun #grownostr
I would first like to learn the concepts. Basically the equivalent of understanding Bitcoin's private & public key, hierarchical wallet, UTXOs, nodes, mining, etc.
How do channels work (what happens on-chain and off-chain), what are the security tradeoffs and gotchas, what are node operator incentives, how does a transaction get routed, are some questions that come to mind.
