Drugs screw up everything.
I’m anti-drug. Selling drugs is an easy way to guarantee you get to keep a substantial fraction of your drug slaves economic output. Libertarians often get this wrong. Drugs don’t have a market place. They have victims and lords.
The funny thing is, all ya gotta do is buy bitcoin and wait. The more you buy and the sooner you start waiting the better.
But you’ll likely never be as rich as me. I played the fiat harvesting game well and got blessed by bitcoin long ago.
Plot y=10^(5.72Log((x-15)*365)-16.62)/58000
This will give you the price of bitcoin in x years from today in terms of multiples of current (expected) bitcoin price.
This is the so called power law model that predates the stock to flow model. Out of mathematical necessity, this model must “work for longer” compared to s2f but s2f has been a bit more accurate on short time frames because it correlates with price pumps with the halvings.
If you think any coldcard device is a truckload of money, you need to work harder and stack longer. Then there will come a time when such things are cheap.
But you’re right, stateless is often good enough. I treat my coldcard as stateless
That’s very easy.
Step 1) suppose the secure element is backdoored
Step 2) stay air gapped forever
Step 3) input your own entropy from dice rolls
Step 4) after signing a transaction, verify the transaction signature on your own node before broadcasting (which I believe but am not certain is done anyway)…just in case the signature is invalid and merely an attempt to disclose private key or seed or something else nefarious.
Step 5) recognize that after the above, a back doored chip can do nothing nefarious other than sign incorrectly, in which case you need a new signing device/hardware wallet.
This is a really good idea. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s should see this idea.
Now I know that any medical intervention has the potential for harm, but I’m certain that beating someone to death is more risky than any medical intervention.
Sum Ting Wong…you’re tax dollars at work:
lol, we crossed posts…I believe you are correct.
The so called “interglacial” period…which I suppose is more properly defined as “a warm part of the current ice age.”
We are not in an ice age. We are between ice ages. The fear used to be a return to the ice age. But by putting co2 into the air we might avoid the next ice age
There’s a lot there. But there’s a lot You already know…start with the happy part of the story: the New Testament. Luke is a good place to start, but you might like John more given his personality and it starts really well. But starting with any of the four gospels is good (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).
Climate change argument:
Axiom: We need to restore the climate back to what it was long ago
My approach: that is why I am returning the carbon in these fossil fuels back to the atmosphere as fast as I can.
Axiom: climate was better in the past
My approach: I wholeheartedly agree. Let us do everything we can to put the climate back to the state inhospitable to mankind as rapidly as possible.
Take home point: climate concerned citizens are really climate engineers by proxy. And you’re the proxy. And they have no experience with engineering.
That’s where I lost my keys too. If you see them, let me know. Thx.
It amazes me how many people take bandwidth for granted.
We are getting new mammography equipment that generates datasets that are in the low gigabyte range (up from hundred megabyte range) and you’d have thought I was speaking Greek when I said we need to budget for new cabling and network infrastructure.
When I started, the other end of the Ethernet cable at my workstation broke out into a telephone punch down block and mostly ran at 100 mb/s. Hospital IT is a generation behind.
Reminds me of Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse
You don’t need anything you weren’t born with (or maybe better put: you were born with everything you need) to see truth of the creator.
I did intern year in internal medicine. I failed to match to one of those cushy transitional years and I had to scramble in to an IM spot…fortunately the new program director at my institution had mistakenly not ticked the box to roll unfilled neurology intern year spots into the main match…so it was a nod and a wink before the official handshake the moment the scramble opened. It was chaos for them as they had 2 of the 89 unfilled spots in the whole country…but both were filled essentially instantly.
I matched in what was then a competitive specialty at a top program but failed at the easy part :)
I believe a recent error was caught precisely because of this. Matt Corallo knows a lot about it. Maybe it wasn’t exactly a consensus bug, but there was something important in the last few years that was caught because the last version of core was still widely used on the network.
I’d have to google to get the details back.
lol…I get a text, email or phone call daily looking for a radiologist. Little do they know they can’t make a competitive offer.
