By the way, apparently the 42 limit standard is his version, not cores. The standard he's talking about is his series of patches he has been advocating for merging to core for several years.
Not so much lying, as being zealous.
This distinction might be damage control though.
Yes. Freedom is scary to slaves,
Just as solid food is scary to babies.
In the #startrek universe, what is the most important technology ? Examples: Warp, Matter converters, phasers....
Correct answer wins 500 sats.
They used to put lead in oil.....
That's just a reflection of your own follow thread. Add a new account and add people from global who are not bitcoiners. There are tons. Artists, creatives, writters, religious, cranks. It's all there.
Freedom entails responsibility, if you are not adjusting the signal you are receiving in a constructive way, such as subcribing to people you disagree with. That's on you.
Abiogentic oil is my favorite conspiracy.
I am only aware of one that refills, and wikipedia claimed it may be filling from a different nearby reserve.
Nonetheless, it was once claimed that literal dinosaur flesh and bones under pressure from soil lead to oil, thus the "fossil" part. Then plankton (which also lead to limestone under different conditions somehow.)
One thing is for sure, oil is plentyful and keeps being found everwhere. Mostly wherever it's convenient for U.S foreign policy.
As long as we support relays and creators and the best posts with zaps, I see no reason to dumb down nostr, even for it to survive. Sure UX and the protocol can improve and always is. But a supportive, intelligent niche userbase is a legitimate long term survival strategy. K versus R selection.
We don't really need to repeat the eternal september of the internet in Nostr to succeed.
Your facebook, twitter, reddit friends can stay where they are, interact with them there, keeping the quality of signal high on Nostr.
Reducing blocksize and op_codes, ossification, and pushing them a L2 is also improvement.
Anything else, even status quo, is inviting core devs to "accidentaly make a mistake" as Will put it so candidly recently, by one day introducing something with unintended consequences that need continual patches.
Luke has answered this elsewhere. It's unfortunate his positions on specific topics aren't indexed somewhere that he can just reference by code.
His position is that from inception the field was standardized at 40 bytes, intentionally to limit spam. So reliance on and design around an expanded field size is a mistake on their end, for non-conforming to the "spec".
Things like this in protocols tend to be worked out by representative bodies and industry boards such as w3c, iso, among others over time. These standards also tend to compete for adoption.
Bitcoin being money, a new project and a philosophical or religious paradigm shift for participants, with enourmous social consequences, it will take a while to smooth out the standard.
If not for Islam, would Turkey be a wealthy white country like Spain or Portugal?
Thread: https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/450612396
Spain wouldn't even be "rich" without Islam, so no....
Turkey is rich despite christian european "peace", which is just another word for economic aggresion
I have a podcast, you know, with nostr:npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw
Finally. I can be in on the no context musings and out-of-the-blue observations. (Not sarcasm)
Reading vague inside jokes and quips by fiatjaf that they will never expand on again is mentally overwhelming for ME.
I look forward to it. I doubt a rational discussion will ever convince that particular underwear stain of anything. Only a stroke at 65 will unblock the plaque in his brain. He will suddenly endorse bip300, but by then it will be too late.
