Just reading the words "illegal content and disinformation" coming from an institution of State power should make everybody freak the fuck out. nostr:note1jl59xgvn3mmzfm7nx9wlj8evv36g6mu9dzzdztxv79pn3fuaq7xscz9mdh
Yes, it makes sense because in a war, enemies attack each other's national wealth, not just the State's. So defense acts the same way. Ever since the Westphalian system was put in place in the 17th century, the organization in charge of war and defense has been the State, and increasingly so since 1914. But with something like Bitcoin, perhaps we can take that immense power back and give it back to the actual Nation, to a certain degree.
I haven't read the whole book, just fragments m, but I've watch interviews with the guy, and I think what he's talking about is defending a nation's wealth by putting it onto the Bitcoin network. But I think he means "nation" as in the aggregate of the citizens and institutions, not merely the State.
Way to sneak in a falsehood within a couple of truths. "Words" are not equivalent to actions,m. They're not even in the same category. And "disgusting" is subjective. That profile picture of yours must be a joke.
Well, if you don't believe the live images coming from the IDF as they enter the liberated areas, and you didn't catch any of the videos that Hamas streamed live that morning, or the tens of videos they keep releasing, you're not totally out of luck. Hamas have just announced that they will now start to stream live the executions of the Jewish hostages.
I hope the tone of what I wrote is clear enough. nostr:note17m5euczq95g5t8fhmea6swv4a7yjd39qgqq9mnt605x689uszrkq0cx74j
You may think I'm not answering your last question, especially. But I have, several times. You can agree to do whatever. It doesn't mean it makes sense to anybody else, and as a rule, I would not care. The issue with this specific fiction called "intellectual property" is that it affects everybody else, including me. And that's the line it cannot be allowed to cross.
I would totally lose the suit because the current legal system has created the figure of "intellectual property". It doesn't mean such thing actually exists or that enforcing such laws is moral. I understand all this, I know what world we live in. People are gullible and greedy, often both at the same time.
"Good will" and "if the common person finds it reasonable" are actual legal concepts derived from common law and custom. In case of doubt, sue me. The Brooklyn bridge case: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._Parker
No, it just restricts the obligation to abide to agreements based on good will. Saying that you can "license" information is not one. It's like the Brooklyn bridge case. You're free to believe I can sell it to you and to pay me for it, and on top of it, promise that you won't resell it. But no sane people would take any part of that agreement seriously nor feel obliged by it.
I always get sad for not going to Tokyo. I'll retire in Japan (not Tokyo), and I wish I could live there without working right now (I could if I worked, but I've done that in the past and thanks but no thanks).
RFK has announced he has left the Democratic Party and is running as an independent. Big. Remember that neither of the two neocon factions are eternal or instituted anywhere in the American legal system. The Constitution doesn't even contain one single mention to such organizations.

Bitcoin-tech savvy nostriches may be able to ELI5 to me what is said here around minute 12:00 re: mode-miner "proof-of-work"-er devices at everybody's homes. I know it used to be like that, but how can it be now, when mining is just not economically viable for the home user? https://youtu.be/U9lqe7AH6Vw
Btw videos like this one, in a few years time, will be invaluable testimony. Not just because more likely than not they will be purged from all mainstream site (and likely at the ISP level too), but because they show the actual official data from the governments themselves right after the fact, before the mass manipulation comes in. It seems that Canada (of course!) has already "changed" the way the measure excess deaths, so it was almost too late for this one. In five years, "the new normal" will be excess deaths, so there will be no excess deaths anymore. nostr:note19z6jejva0l026le36ur92mpsxftruer7kcf58pv97wln2leda76sy2and3
Which is it? Lawrence of Arabia or the Zionists?
You are uninformed. Eastern European Jews had been migrating to Ottoman Syria in significant numbers since the 18th century, and in greater numbers at the turn of the 20th century. Due to increasingly violent pogroms and hostility in Russia, mainly (but not only). The amount of them that went to Palestine was small compared for instance to the US because, simply, Palestine was a poor and unimportant backwater province of a decadent empire. It's because they were organized that Western powers decided to help them, not the other way around. And perhaps, maybe, who knows! what happened in Central and Eastern Europe during the 40's also was an incentive to go somewhere where they could claim to be the majority, for the first time in centuries...
Only 37%? I honestly thought it was like 66% nostr:note1wptdnh9mwc8plrsef03qqu4jhjsk0uavev3hw8ys4vdc8j8n6hdsqf8h2k
It's the same debate as with music, movies, software, and all other forms of "intellectual property".
People have fooled themselves to believe that they can make money selling something they cannot possible own - information -, and then get upset when people refuse to pay for it. That's what generates a race to the bottom to get "engagement" and all sorts of bad incentives.
Try selling something you can actually own, instead. nostr:note1sa26vqsft8u6jydcdrpnrxya558z4gn67te2gc6c3gta62zghawsqqry05
Excellent video. Which I think is not incompatible with this one:
