Oh, I fully agree about the Nixon shock.
It's just that the WTF1971 site is extremely unhelpful in explaining that because 99% of the info on it is noise (correlation), much like the OP
Well, it wouldn't be funny if people aren't triggered...
Look on the bright side: suddenly we have dozens more people interested in the protocol spec 😂
Nothing beats a good old bicycle in the Netherlands
Isn't that whole site a demonstration of the point I made?
It's a bold design for sure 😅
But on paper it's brilliant! 45 liters of bootspace and +5 km range added for free every hour on sunny days
Correlation is not causation
You can use the same graph to suggest that printing money helps to fix serial killings since we're now down to pre-1970s levels
Both takes are retarded though
No more ads, totally worth it, especially when you have kids
Well, if they did, they wouldn't be able to sell your personal data for a bit of extra revenue...
"Journalism has begun to feel like an enjoyable paid hobby which serves no apparent social purpose. Assembling facts and arguments has probably been a waste of a career. British lawyer and writer nostr:npub1rl5sdpv3qwu6fv25n3eh8edmmn9a5847uht378meua84fwhwzlvs98dx0x concludes: “There is no point, in and of itself, showing a candidate to be a liar, fraudster, insurrectionist and/or a fascist if people do not actually care if that candidate is a liar, fraudster, insurrectionist and/or a fascist.” - https://www.ft.com/content/b7134905-3b6f-4aee-98a9-71bab6f9b29a (gift links available)
Non-paywall version:
"Open source" has had a commonly accepted definition since at least the mid 90s when I started working with it. It's mostly non-developers (and NVK) that are confused about this
There are plenty more FOSS licenses than GPL3, which is actually quite unpopular. MIT and Apache are the most used by far and provide users with maximum freedom
Doesn’t nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 have an official sparrow Nostr account to zap? ⚡️
He does! More options to donate 😁
GM. Don't forget to zap your favourite open-source #bitcoin and 
#nostr projects every now and then!
Lightning developers might disagree, although I'm sure they'd like it to be this simple 😉
I can't believe it's really this easy but every 4 years I'm proven wrong 😅
Trump is 💯 going to make the FED do whatever he wants. Say bye bye to a more or less independent FED and hello to a new political instrument
We'd better hedge ourselves...
Was it really so great to fund the massacre on the Banda people though... 🤔. Their only "crime" was to insist on selling their own nutmeg to anyone interested rather than granting the Dutch a monopoly
Counterintuitively, in Sparrow you need to create a new wallet first, before you can import an xpub 😉. Just create a new wallet and then choose "xpub / watch only wallet"
This can dump an xpub from cln:
To illustrate, here in NL we started our "Room for the Rivers" program after severe floods in the mid 90s. This has really paid off and you won't find anyone disagreeing with that in NL, not even our anti-science populists.
Extreme rainfall events in the past 2 years have proven that this "building with nature" approach (rather than building against nature) has really paid off. Similarly affected areas on our borders with Germany and Belgium suffered severe consequences, multiple deaths and >€40 billion in damages. In stark contrast the Netherlands, despite being downstream of all this (!), suffered virtually zero damages
Canalisation is the worst you can do from a flood control perspective. Common sense would be to delay runoff (vegetated slopes, high soil organic matter) and build buffers (wetlands, flood plains) to spread the discharge over a longer amount of time
