I find Bladerunner 2049 frustrating, because I *almost* love it.

The characters, themes, acting, and the overall plot structure are great, imo.

However, villains give melodramatic exposition monologues, villains leave heroes alive for no reason other than the plot needs them to, important things are left thinly guarded for no reason other than the plot needs the heroes or villains to easily get at them, etc. In other words, there are distracting writing/execution issues in what could otherwise be a masterpiece.

The first time I watched it, I didn't love it. It did stick with me though; I think about it sometimes, for years afterward. And watching it a second time I appreciated it more, but still was frustrated by the same things.

What does everyone else feel about it?

Hey fam, a couple of Follow Pack questions:

1. How do you make one? 😅

2. Is there a way to tap ones and follow everyone in a pack?

WE NEED TO NOSTR HARDER.

FUD:

“Knots is only maintained by one dev.”

Answer:

1) The majority of Knots code is the same as Core, core devs are effectively contributing to knots also. There isn't much of a difference for the essential cryptography functions, same implementation and security as Bitcoin Core.

2) Game Theory - there's no shortage of Luke/Ocean/Knots haters. If there is a problem with it, why hasn't it been exploited yet? You know there are people financially incentivized to take it down.

Suppose there is some ciritical vulnerability in Knots that slipped by the review process. Why wouldn't it already be exploited?

Knots is a high-value piece of software to exploit, surely there are people that would be motivated for political, social, or economic reasons to hack Knots. Knots comprises 13.5% of the bitcoin network, and is relied upon by miners and institutions with high value holdings.

If this theoretical vulnerability exists, why hasn't it been exploited yet? Occam's Razor suggests that no such vulnerability exists.
