Thanks for informing me his sentence for financial crimes will run concurrently to his murder sentence of life in prison without parole. I couldn’t have deduced that otherwise.

What would be viable if electricity comes with my rent but therefore I only have access to 120v outlets? Anything?

Pics of Charlie Munger from a 1947-1948 Harvard Law Year Book, a year before he graduated.

He was involved in Legal Aid. He's pictured with a client in the last photo.

(My grandfather was at Harvard Law at the same time and when I got into law school my grandmother gave me his old year book.)

nostr:npub1sfhflz2msx45rfzjyf5tyj0x35pv4qtq3hh4v2jf8nhrtl79cavsl2ymqt's article ā€œWittengenstein’s Moneyā€ is the best exploration of this question.

ā€œWhat would it seem like if it did seem like a global, digital, sound, open source, programmable money was monetizing from absolute zero?ā€

It’s deeply unethical to shout ā€œDon’t trust, verifyā€ and then fail to provide a link to a source when you post supposed news in the space.

The absolute increase in outright antisemitism and Islamophobia is both surprising and disheartening.

As is the complete disposal of nuance. It’s just gone.

It’s also really frustrating that both Hamas and the Israeli right wing got exactly what they wanted out of this, namely, an excuse to try to completely eradicate the other side. Everyone else is just caught between those two insane groups. And American versions of those two factions seem to dominate Twitter as well. nostr:note100488m6sk9ww7q9t29area3ngd7858x9r6ptt79pynvak3mkvwvsgdgkwx

It’s certainly possible. If you asked me today, my answer would be no. I’d give him 30% odds. But a lot can and a lot *will* happen between now and the election.

Simply replacing the glass screen protector for my phone always makes me feel like I just got a new phone. And it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new phone. šŸ˜‚

One of my favorite things about nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 is that if you pull it up in the app switcher, the logo is oriented to look like a middle finger šŸ–•

This had to be intentional, right? nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle

It is:

My cynicism doesn’t really fall into those categories. I very much know what difference democracy and dictatorship makes and I also don’t think we’re resigned to a terrible future outcome. It’s more about the present state of affairs and most of the present voters and most of the present leadership.

Even if Trump loses, Trump is gonna get like 40% of the vote. In a sane world, he wouldn’t be the nominee and he wouldn’t get more than 5% of the vote if he did. I think not being honest about that reality is just naive. And I think not being cynical about it is just unrealistic.

I’m extremely cynical about our current state of affairs which is why I’ve made a lot of big accurate predictions these last few years. But I also don’t confuse the most noisy people online for what the plurality (& likely, a majority) think and believe. But I do understand that they make for accurate representation of meaningful minorities and therefore can cause predictably bad outcomes.

ā€œā€˜Cause your dollar ain’t shit.ā€ - Oliver Anthony to Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen, I suppose

Relatedly, I hate the ā€œWe are all Satoshiā€ meme.

No, I am not Satoshi, and I don’t claim to be. I am in awe of what Satoshi built and the ethical way in which Satoshi released it.

By claiming zero association with such an incredible engineering feat and its ethical release, I don’t just keep myself humble, I also have a great reminder of the ideals I’d like to live by. nostr:note1whhsglre5myv8n787celau2p9pwzf7fs6epwl0wwdjppql4svavq38vwuj
