I’m not inclined to take someone’s word for it. But I’m also not committed to the various models I’ve looked at over the years that seem to weigh Hdl as far more meaningful a factor than LDL…either way, the devil is in the details and I doubt either of us is able to state a claim precisely with error bars…

You’re right. I’m only basing this off of the cardiac risk factor website for patients that some cardiac society has online. I went through it when I got my labs last year and played with the variables. HDL has way more effect than calculated ldl

Best movie ever. That, and Real Genius.

Yup. But I’m a radiologist. We generally don’t care much about the subtleties of cardiac risk factors…but even I know hdl is more predictive than ldl…

Oft repeated but always true: bitcoin fixes this.

People without freedom to interact economically unencumbered will fight. Economic interaction is peace.

Stat.

HDL is more predictive.

People still never cease to amaze me. I guess this means bitcoin is big enough to attract weirdos…

I’d submit a patch to cold card firmware if i were a smarter man. Device should refuse to generate xpub and xpriv with such a low entropy seed…or if permitted, should be hidden behind developer menu.

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a‘s book is amazing. I finished it over the weekend. I’ve always listened skeptically to these fintwit folks but she ain’t your typical jargon talking head. She’s got a full grasp on bitcoin and shitcoin pow/pos systems and on the central bank money system…rare as hens teeth. I can’t recommend the book enough.

So now Pocahontas is saying bitcoin funds Hamas. This is the same woman that claimed she was Native American to get in to law school.

While bitcoin is qualitatively better than gold, gold is quantitatively more important.

Someday this shall change.

We have Afghanistan tens of billions of dollars worth of war weapons. We have Iran $5B recently to sweeten a prisoner swap.

These are not unrelated. The US has been destabilizing the Middle East for 80 years. This is why Trump had to go. It was becoming stable.

Identity politics is just thinly veiled Marxism. The “us” vs “them” mentality of identity politics is the framework necessary for the dehumanization necessary to kick off civil war.

They will take us into another Great Depression to gain the power they need to ban Bitcoin.

Be ready to be blamed by your neighbor for job loss, poverty, crime, terrorism, drugs, etc.

I have learned that “non-stick” is really a function of temperature.

I think it’s the shadowy super coder Elizabeth Warren warned us about.

If you’re gonna do multiple bitcoin instances, ZFS or btrfs are way better than ext4. Copy on write filesystems allow you to “copy” the entire blockchain nearly instantly, and it’s only when one instance modifies a “copied” file that the copy gets written to disk. If you have 5 instances, you don’t need 5 copies of the blockchain.

And this is part of it. They don’t want peace in Afghanistan. They want to make problems for Russia.

Thoughtless tyranny.

There’s a mini Hitler living in all of us. Covid just brought it to the surface for a lot of people.

The United States did not “botch” the Afghanistan withdrawal. The goal was to arm the taliban (again).

I don’t know why, but we want there to be war from these guys.
