“The justification there was that since there is a five year time jump between the games (and seasons), that Bella would be too young, and that they (Bella has previously said their pronouns are she/they)”
First time I've seen she/they pronouns in the wild.
In a mature market you'd expect miners to disproportionately be creating their own electricity, as that's an example of an edge they'd need to make mining profitable.
A 30% tax on electricity used will likely make mining even more decentralized by giving a 30% advantage to operate integrated production/mining operations, eg flare gas, on-site solar, on-site wind, etc.
It'll also give a 30% advantage to small scale undocumented miners.

When I was there in the summer I tested both RBF and non-RBF txs, and found that instant confirmation was inconsistent for both. Often a non-RBF tx required a confirmation, often a RBF tx would give me cash immediately. There were no guarantees either way and the RBF flag didn't seem to make a clear difference.
It's possible that the behavior is tied to your phone number; the ATMs are AML/KYC as getting an El Salvadoran sim card without ID isn't legally possible.

“With no mRNA vaccines, China leaves lockdown and Covid behind in weeks - exactly the opposite of terrified Western media predictions. No wonder CNN etc are yet again ignoring reality.”
Good afternoon, todays #OpenSourceDaily project is https://github.com/git/git git is a version control system written in C under the GNU General Public license V2. Most people probably know about git because it has supercharged the open source movement. It focuses on developer productivity with features like branching, stashing, merging and distributed publishing to different remotes. The cli has a bit of a learning curve for new developers but it is very powerful and extensible. Before git was popular lots of version control systems would enforce things like locking a file so that only one developer could check it out at a time. This would absolutely wreak havoc on productivity by forcing you to wait for somebody to check in the file you needed to update.
git is a version control system^H^H^H^H basically a blockchain.

Not so much passion as getting paid about four months of rent money!
If you use Twitter you should pay for it. Advertiser supported business models are garbage.
The longest I've ever billed a client continuously was for 48 hours straight. Also one of the least important jobs: a fancy county club had hired a company to do the Christmas decorations, which included a Christmas themed model train under some stairs on the bottom floor. The subcontractor that was supposed to do the model train set screwed up somehow without finishing the lighting.
So I made some fancy microprocessor controlled lights for this model train set, finishing about an hour before the deadline imposed by the contract.
Apparently the country club was threatening to use that failure to reneg on the overall $250k contract for the Christmas decorations. 😂😂😂
For certain types of commercial use, it certainly is enforceable by you. Not all types of commercial use. But many.
The DID privacy model isn't broken for what we're using it for: nostr is totally public.
Releasing your code as GPL/AGPP kinda does that.
OpenTimestamps? :)
pv make something ostriches want.

Yes, the former part kinda works. The problem is the later doesn't happen.
“n space, a vacuum tube is a couple funny shaped pieces of metal in close proximity”
Nostr should be designed in such a way that you can do exclusive relays just for yourself and people replying to you too. Similarly, when I follow you my client should automatically connect to your exclusive relays to be sure to get the latest messages without any chance of censorship.
What's wrong with nostr:
1) Reliance on a single key for all signing, without any ability to delegate or rotate keys
2) JSON serialization format (already resulting in bugs between different implementations due to unicode differences) should have been binary
3) No real anti-spam mechanisms
4) Economic model for paid relays doesn't make much sense – one time payment for on-going service isn't feasible long term
5) Economic model for free relays is awful: you want to determine the value of an individual event, eg with a proven ₿ sacrifice, to make spam expensive. But Lightning alone can't do that because:
6) Related to #5: Zaps can easily be faked because you can't prove a LN payment represented real funds.
7) No clear scalability solution: if nostr actually scaled, it'd support images...
I could go on...
