https://youtu.be/Hpop2LZ1Xi4 Another Shapiro banger. He still believes that there uses for blockchain beyond Bitcoin, but the rest of this is pretty solid. He has read Bitcoin Standard (though he says he "doesn't agree with all of it").

You put a Tube Screamer in front of a Mesa Boogie II and it sounds like old Metallica. Who knew:)

Imagine a classroom where every student has their own digital identity, secured by a public/private key pair. Here's how this could look:

Authentication in Classroom Platforms: Students can submit assignments or engage in discussions with a digital signature, ensuring that their work is indisputably theirs. This not only teaches them about digital signatures but also about the critical aspect of data integrity.

Secure Communication Exercises: Projects where students encrypt messages using public keys and decrypt them with private keys can be a practical demonstration of secure communication protocols, offering insights into how encryption keeps data safe.

Cryptography Labs: Hands-on experience in generating key pairs, encrypting, and decrypting files can demystify the complex algorithms behind public key cryptography.

Decentralized Systems and Blockchain: Courses could delve into blockchain technology, where each student's key pair represents their digital wallet, illustrating the principles of decentralized networks, consensus, and digital currency.

Mathematical Insights

Public/private key pairs can also enrich mathematics education:

Number Theory and Algebra: The creation of keys can serve as a real-world application for concepts like prime factorization, modular arithmetic, and the discrete logarithm problem.

Mathematical Proofs: Students can explore the mathematical underpinnings of cryptographic security, such as why factoring large numbers is computationally hard, which is central to the security of RSA.

Cross-Disciplinary Applications

Beyond technical fields, these concepts have widespread applicability:

Digital Identity: Teaching students how to manage their digital signatures can lead to discussions on privacy, identity theft, and one's digital footprint.

Ethics and Policy: Debates can be sparked about the ethical use of encryption, privacy versus security, and the role of policy in managing digital keys.

Art and Design: Digital signatures can authenticate digital artworks, providing a fascinating intersection between technology and creativity.

Business and Management: Case studies where key management ensures secure transactions or protects intellectual property can be part of business education.

Practical Implementation in Education

To bring these concepts to life:

Project-Based Learning: Students could build a mini PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), setting up key servers or acting as certificate authorities, learning by doing.

Simulation Software: Using or creating software to simulate cryptographic protocols can provide a visual and interactive learning experience.

Competitions and Hackathons: Organizing events where students tackle key security challenges can foster teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving.

Who/where is Silk Road for NOSTR being built?

Why isn't New Orleans the most important city in the country? It probably should be. Via Grok:

The Jones Act has imposed economic inefficiencies on New Orleans by mandating that all domestic shipping use U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged, and U.S.-crewed ships, leading to significantly higher shipping costs. This law limits the availability of vessels, causing inefficiencies at the port, where capacity and modern fleet options are constrained. It also affects the local oil and gas industry by increasing transport costs for petroleum products. These factors contribute to an economic isolation effect, where higher domestic shipping costs can discourage trade, affecting both consumer prices and the competitive edge of New Orleans' businesses, thereby hampering the city's economic growth and development.

Im going to start posting David Shapiro's videos here so they get into the network. ASI/AGI is right around the corner, as in obvious to anyone in the next few weeks/months (it's likely already here):

for some reason your link didn't work, though I can't spot the difference.

Strange, it works for me?

Anyone else having issues with snort on umbrel? All my follows are there, my public key is correct, but my profile info is gone. Everything is fine on Damus.
