This. ☝️Educational systems are bad for the most part, you as a parent and one, or few good teachers are there to make the difference. Isolating a kid from wider society can be more harmful to the kid later.

Pushups, pull-ups, burpees, squats, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, sit-ups. So nothing fancy. But if you have money and space get a rower. Rowing is the best single exercise to activate every muscle, lungs, and hearth.

*****
We are launching with an initial set of 10 bounty challenges
More bounties might be added as we go
An individual or team who fully solves any of the ten challenges will be eligible to receive a bounty of 2 BTC
For transparency: submissions will be shared with external industry experts to help us discern whether submissions meet bounty requirements
HRF will be making decisions in a charitable way for bounty submissions that make a good faith effort to meet the requirements
We will be leaning to the spirit, not the letter, of the law
Individuals and teams are encouraged to contact bounty at hrf dot org with any questions during the bounty process
HRF retains final approval on allocating prize funds
The Bitcoin Bounty Challenge will run until December 31, 2024
Any unclaimed bounties will convert into general operating funding for the HRF’s Bitcoin Development Fund on January 1, 2025
An individual or team may collect any amount of bounties
If a leading wallet maker or for-profit corporation would like to compete, we would be delighted
To claim a bounty submit proof to bounty at hrf dot org
For full terms and conditions visit hrfbounties.org
This project was born out of 6 months of field research where HRF staff met with + interviewed a) dissidents and human rights NGO leaders from around the world and b) Bitcoin developers
The goal was to settle on a mix of desired upgrades to Bitcoin that seemed somewhat realistic
We fully expect a handful of these bounties to be claimed by the end of next year
We fully expect the bounties to spark debate, arguments, new ideas, criticism, and other stuff that may indirectly help Bitcoin and Bitcoin users
We *do not expect* all of bounties to be claimed
You all have 523 days left
Good luck!
And big thanks to @BitcoinMagazine for covering the news :)
You just made my switch to #penpot faster. 😎
This is hilarious! https://twitter.com/envato/status/1684003142067970049?s=46 #elon #twitter
I’ve rarely listened to podcasts; it wasn’t my thing. Now I’m sucking in everything related to #nostr.
Imagine all the lightnings striking in your living room while #zapathon
#xorb
Drunk as fuck today; committed to design next level experiences for #nostr from tomorrow.

If we imagine a country existing in a bubble, the only one in its realm, I can imagine mostly positive things would happen; low level of government corruption, justice would truly be blind, high level of equality, low level of power abuse, etc. Still, abuse of power would be possible, and it would be mostly enforced by buying people and putting them on the streets to fight for your interests. That would be expensive and rare, or maybe not. Maybe we will see more riots and civil wars due to the government's inability to use illegal means? People hungry for power would have no interest in being in government; they would rather operate privately. On paper, it should be better; in practice, now that I've given it a thought, I'm not sure. It certainly should be tested! Guess I would start with testing on protocol governance on not-so-vital state or city agencies… like the city parking service.
In our real world, if one country's government would move operations on transparent and immutable protocol, that county would be torn apart economically very quickly.
International organizations like the UN might be a good fit for immutable protocol governance.
Not the decentralized and permissionless protocol?

I’ve checked to see only preferred languages but where are preferred languages set? I still see content in various languages. What about language of shared content? Can we filter that out?
Guess option for this doesn’t exist, but I would love to be able to filter out posts with more than like three hashtags. Something you might consider adding?
Is this the real reason?
