“...The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

It’s the 1st of December in the future and that means….time to put up the Christmas Tree 🎄😜

It’s crucial for brain development to learn these skills. Teach them how to tell time on an analog clock without numbers on it while you’re at it.

One of the worst things we ever did as a society was dumb down all the things that require dexterity. Stick shifts are a perfect example. You can hardly find newer cars with them anywhere in the United States.

I designed the Microstrategy movie poster, how'd you like it?

The Biggest Waves in the World.

The Nazaré waves, located on the coast of Nazaré, 🇵🇹 Portugal, are famous for being some of the largest in the world.

This phenomenon is caused by the Nazaré Canyon, an underwater canyon 200 kilometers long and 5 kilometers deep, which amplifies the size of the waves.

Surfers from all over the world come to Nazaré to challenge these giant waves, especially in winter, when conditions are more conducive to forming waves that can exceed 20 meters in height.

This destination has become an epicenter of big wave surfing, attracting both professionals and spectators looking to witness the impressive spectacle of nature.

I’m about 9 months into it. So, while it’s exciting, all I’ve heard is that it’s only the beginning.

Hit me up in five years and see what I say.

To be fair, I don't actually know if this is really ODELL or someone else posting with his keys.

pgp email is the worst, i don’t even bother anymore

Since getting into Bitcoin I've had a growing desire to experience things created pre-fiat (1971 or as close to as possible) like music, movies, art, architecture, cars, camera lenses, watches and most recently bikes.

Just picked up this 1965 East German made Elite Diamant - Type 35. All parts are original, including the tires and the light still works!

Needs a little tlc but otherwise pretty mint for 100€!

that's what gluconeogenesis is for. your body automatically makes all the glucose it needs without adding in carbs 👍

I TELL ANY CONTRACTOR I PAY THAT I WILL ADD 20% IF THEY ACCEPT BITCOIN.

SIMPLE. WORKS.

Methylene Blue is a powerful antioxidant with an especially potent influence on the mitochondria. It improves the efficiency of electron transfer between the four complexes within the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It also prevents electron leakage by anything that inhibits mitochondrial functions such as environmental toxins.

In other words, Methylene Blue improves your cell's energy production and efficiency, which translates into more energy for you. It also helps reduce the formulation of superoxide radicals which means that it acts as a potent antioxidant, and helps boost your immune system

You think slaves will be assigned to do things they aren't good at? Working for money, then the government using your money for whatever they want, is in effect no different than being forced to perform some specific task.

Slavery is to work and have most of your effort for handed over to someone else under compulsion of the state.

The income tax compels you to work directly for the state.

Everyone recognises the inefficiency and damage caused by monopolies.

Why do so many demand that fundamental sectors such as education, health and security be run as monopolies?

You didn’t address any of my points. I have no issue with what Rusty did think about. My issue is with what he didn’t think about.

You seem to believe that Rusty is a smart guy who works hard and makes good presentations. No debate there. I just say he thinks of bitcoin like an open source project and doesn’t recognize the importance of it. He has a myopic view, lacks wisdom and is therefore dangerous.

this thing is 🔥

I listened to the entire podcast. Rusty is the poster child for ossification. Let me explain…

1. This Isn’t A “Restoration”

For starters, this is not a “restoration” of some long lost functionality blessed by Satoshi that was mistakenly disabled.

At 5:20, Rusty admits that he has no idea why Satoshi disabled some of those codes, but Rusty assumes Satoshi thought they were potentially dangerous.

Was Satoshi worried about the opcodes being dangerous to the operation of the core software? Or to the interlocking social incentives underpinning the entire system?

Rusty doesn’t know and doesn’t even consider factors beyond the memory usage or CPU cycles of the core software itself.

Why the myopic perspective? We find out later in the podcast.

2. Rusty’s Design Philosophy Is Dangerous

At 49:00, Rusty says that he expects this more powerful scripting language will be used in unanticipated ways.

This engineering mentality is suitable for a startup where the stakes are low.

Do you think engineers of nuclear power stations would add a powerful API that could be used in unanticipated ways?

Of course not.

When stakes are high, responsible engineers only enable limited functionality KNOWN to be safe. They don’t add powerful capabilities to “see how people will use them”. They move slowly and cautiously. They err on the side of conservatism.

3. “But First, Do No Harm”

To your credit, you asked Rusty about the possibility that these new powerful capabilities might be abused.

We then learn why Rusty doesn’t consider anything beyond the memory consumption and CPU cycles of the software.

His terrifying answer? He. Just. Doesn’t. Care.

At 51:00, Rusty admits that it will enable people to do more evil things. Not a problem, he thinks, because there are already lots of ways to abuse the system. What’s the problem with adding more?

Rusty doesn’t seem to respect what bitcoin is. He doesn’t seem to appreciate that bitcoin core protects the life savings of millions of people and is our hope for the future.

He doesn’t even fully consider the first order effects, never mind the second or third.

Rusty is dangerous. Clearly skilled, but lacking wisdom to apply those skills appropriately. Paving the road to hell with his good intentions.

He should be nowhere near bitcoin core until he truly understands the significance of what he’s playing with.
