I setup my router so that when i plugin my phone though usb and setup usb tethering in it the router automatically uses the phone's internet.

Never needed it so far though.

I like it when they put up explanations of the view, like last holiday in Austria i was at a view of several mountain peaks. Some were massively eroded while others were still completely in tact.

There were signs explaining how i was looking at different compositions, some of which were literally millions of years apart and made of completely different materials. I could then look at it with from a completely different perspective.

I don't travel a lot. Most of the travelling i actually do is around the place where i live. I go into every street, every alley, every public (dirt) road, every hiking path just because i want to understand where i am and i always want to know and understand as much as i can about the place around me from as many aspects as i can get.

Avoid the traps of eating fat being bad. Go easy on the carbs as they are addictive and non-satiating meaning you will easily eat more calories.

Additionally carbs are much cheaper to produce so profits on its are much higher so companies are more inclined to produce food with high amounts of carbs instead of higher amounts of fat.

Stop making up excuses and labels like "plus size" to make it normal. Being obese is simply unhealthy. Look around you and tell me how many obese people of 80+ or 90+ years old you see.

Sounds legit.

I mean in order to make something from scratch, first you will have to create a universe.

To me losing funds is just an indication that people have been spoiled by having insane amounts of security on everything in life. You are super protected from anything ever going wrong. This is the mindset that is super ingrained because this has been the status quo fornall of our lives.

A free market has to emerge from loads of actors trying to participate. There are no institutions here to hold your hand by putting up walls of regulations so that only a few can enter and dominate. We want a free market that anybody can enter right? You just have to start from zero and build up reputation as a good mint operator. Or do we really want regulations and licenses invented and handed out by some kind of institution?

This not only means that there will be hobbyists running mints and losing your funds but there will be bad actors rugging you once the market becomes big enough.

If this makes you feel uncomfortable then you should not put any money on any mint. Plain and simple.

Good mints will have to emerge from reputation. I have not seen any mints with thousands of users, to me this indicates infancy in the mint so just stay away from it if you can't afford to lose a single sat.

Well i am making the assumption that this whole thing was made around a developer that recentely said he was not able to keep up with protocol changes and then some people may have lost sats on his mint. I maybe should not have made this assumption but i'm fairly certain that it's about that and maybe some additional events i am not even aware of. I can find the note somewhere still if i search a bit.

About developers going up: i'm sure you are right about that but it does not mean nobody lost interest and maybe left some software in a git repo that may not be fully functional.

I've maybe made to many assumptions as to what this post was about but i read it that we should hold unpaid cashu (and/or other transactional system on top of bitcoin) more responsible for the software they put out there, on which i disagree.

I think cashu is still quite young. Many developers jumped on board and eventually lost interest or did not have more time. It's still unpaid work in the end.

The protocol still changes and probably still needs these changes to be better in the future. Maybe there should be more focus on (trying to have) backwards compatibility or easier forward migrations.

Maybe it's not your intention but if i were spending a lot of unpaid time on a project i would not be very happy with people complaining about me sacrificing my time. This does not motivate. Instead we should figure out and come up with ideas and suggestions on how to move forward.

In the end we get to choose if we feel like this is usable or not, unlike Fidelity there are red flags all around the project stating you may lose your funds. Nobody relies on this project nor should you make yourself reliant on it at this stage.

Beta is just a name tag.

What others call beta microsoft calls windows 98 and ships it to customers. These are all tags that somebody thinks their software should have. It does not really represent anything because different developers do not think of it the same way.

For all i know i cannot trust bitcoin core until v1.0.

Great initiative!

Ok you are much more knowledgeable on this subject than i am.

I just wonder if the US will be able to do these reorgs and for how long. If the money is on the side where the US has no jurisdiction will we not see an increase in mining on parts of the world that do not agree with this? And how will they then organise reorgs if they do not have the capacity from mining operations within the US? Do you think the government will throw tax dollars at it to have their own mining infrastructure?

Sorry if i'm overseeing something simple. I know very little on this subject.

But the free market aspect of bitcoin should be able to outcompete that. They can try to organize themselves on an international level but if your addresses get blacklisted you can just increase your fees.

It's not ideal for sure but at some point some miner thinks this will be to good to ignore and enforcing blacklisted addresses seems a very futile endeavor since you can easily hide the traffic of your mining operations through tor or a vpn.

They will try to gain control in one way or another.

Just imagine that in some way you are able to control most aspects. The biggest power anyone ever had?

Fortunately you can only control 1 thing:

- Your keys

Looking at you i feel like you still hit that point earlier in your life than i did. I finally realized at 40ish that i was only limiting myself by holding certain believes. I had such discipline issues (still have, work in progress) and i don't even know or understand how but something clicked with me and i started improving slowly and i feel like the benefits of this are starting to flow my way and really set the tone for perpetual motion forwards.

Keep it up man! The world is your oyster!

Next year they'll call it "digital communication intervention" and they'll just keep pushing and pushing until at some point they have a majority and then there's no way back.

There's no point in hardlining it. If you do it 95-99% of the time there's very little harm you could possibly do in the meager percentages that you are "cheating".

I seriously doubt also not drinking water is beneficial to anything. I regularly do fasts but i definitely drink water like i normally do during that time.

Hi guys! Sorry for not getting back at you but the queue issues have been completely resolved. It took me a while to go through a couple of podcasts (listen mostly to 2h+ podcasts). Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!

I have a very basic grasp of how quantum computers are supposed to work, but i am by no means well educated on the subject.

I think calling it cheating nature goes a bit far. If it is possible in nature, is it then not inherently a property of nature itself?

What about LLM's or in general "neural network" type AI's? Nobody knows what exactly is going on inside the model, you throw in stuff and other stuff comes out. We have a basic understanding of what it does but all we do is tweak the inputs and maybe turn and twist some knobs saying "this or that is bad".

I think it's like splitting an atom, you can tell people not to do it but when the genie is out of the bottle people will do it anyway. I think it's better to focus on how this can affect your life and if you can or want to do something based on that knowledge.

Just 2 days after i paid for a year of mullvad vpn with an on-chain transaction with transaction costs that were almost as much as the year of vpn service :(

Introspection is painful so i guess that makes sense.
