Instead of being famous for 15 minutes, the goal is to have privacy for at least 15 minutes.

I also didn’t say that “a bitcoin standard would humble any company trying to do something at scale.”

That is not the statement when one says “fiat unnaturally benefits companies who grow off of constantly devaluing debts.”

It doesn’t mean scale isn’t naturally more economical. It is in most cases to a certain size and with agility being the opposing pressure. But fiat **subsidizes** bigness and causes bloat and waste across the board.

I’m not just saying that “everything will be small and big isn’t possible,” I’m saying the explicitly those things that aren’t sustainable but survive because they are huge and get subsidized debt and fake prices, THOSE corporations can’t sustain themselves. There is no way to know exactly which ones they are either, it’s just an educated guess. There is no control in this experiment and can’t be.

Nepochybně. Ale i tak je ta korelace a hlavně ten rozdíl fakt velký.

Rozhodně něco, co by se mělo blíž prozkoumat, což ale nikdo, neudělá. Rozhodně ne stát, že...

Anyone ever try the Bitrefill eSIM?

What good is physical fiat in the same warzone? If anything that use case scenario is the one for gold/silver, food rations, water/purification means, and a stockpile of bullets.

That all said, if I'm trying to get OUT of that warzone, I'd sure rather have my 12/24 word phrase memorized, or perhaps a bolt with washers that have it stamped into them, than be trying to figure out how I'm getting across borders with physical cash or even gold. It worked for Afghani women who otherwise lost everything escaping the return of the Taliban, which is proof-of-work enough for me.

There's room for some diversification if done thoughtfully, for sure, but the amount I'd bother with in actual fiat cash is next to nothing, because nothing says it'll hold any value in that scenario anyway.

So it seems, but a working society, even without a functional power grid, will need a trade & settlement standard or more than one. Many people have gasoline powered generators or jerry cans of fuel or warehouses of long-term food.

How will you bargain for that, barring offering carnal favors?

To vždycky říkám na argumenty "ale co když nebude elektřina?" Vole jestli nebude elektřina na levelu, že nebudou internety ani počítače, máme úplně jiný problémy než Bitcoin.

i was very interested in "NoKernel" even more, and have even thought of an idea of having a kernel running on each core of a CPU with a message passing interface

plan9 also goes towards this direction as well, by creating a uniform socket interface for everything, the next logical step from the unix "everything is a file"

but android also with LXC namespace isolation goes a long way towards this also

and i get it that this is what UFS and ZFS are trying to do to filesystems but really LVM2 does it better overall, you can conceive of a single service that just manages this, and another service that manages permission, like a local version of ETCD

i think it's gonna be a long time yet before we see the end of monolithic kernels though... apple runs on a bsd microkernel and everyone else is running monolithics

i think really it's just about the API differences, it's hard to make a mapping between standard system APIs and the distinctly different way you run things with a no-kernel everything-is-a-service style of architecture... the slowest moving parts of software development are languages and kernels

it's a subject dear to my heart though... kernels and compilers, my two favourite things

If truly worried about such a scenario a stash of gold and silver coins probably better than paper cash

I do. He stole his work from Henre Poincare, and as mentioned, you can't apply physical properties to concepts.

Gravity is an effect of magnetism and dielectricity. We can manipulate objects and make them go up or down using electrostatics. Magnetism is a much stronger force than gravity is claimed to be, and it can be experimentally validated by anyone. Warping and bending of spacetime? Heh.

I think it makes more sense to adopt the views of people like Tesla on this basis. He, among others, was responsible for the basis of the AC motor that gave us our electrical grid. He wasn't a fan of Einstein either.

yeah, it had go in it because cloudfodder was building strfry sprockets in Go and it was simplest to just write a script to install go and git and pull the stuff

go and git have got to be the smallest footprint dev toolchain there is, anyone that doesn't get how powerful that is is just not thinking

I'm not trying to be disagreeable lol, there's truth here. There is a fine line though, where people like Einstein applied physical properties to concepts (space and time). Even if the maths checks out in such an instance, it is based on fallacious logic and I am forced to reject such theories on that basis.

But I'm all for people doing this work, it will get us to the truth eventually.

I thought it was going to come from the puppy killer Fauci. 🤷‍♂️

I certainly hope so

it's collapsing in real time IMO
