Not sure if our "meat sacks" were designed for such long lifespan. Hey there is always reincarnation... :-)

Well, what isn't? Can't wait for Lightning 2.0 provided by fiatjaf...lol

Hmm, I'm not in the business hence didn't know about them, always thought that Cisco got that market cornered. That blows man... I guess "liability" is their excuse or simply "other pressures" not named govt. lol

Matter of time, not if, it's when....

You ought to get real old skool 1911 and.45 it. No need for double tap :-)

I don't think KYC (IDs and names can be stolen) or even pattern matching will cut it. The fact that machine knows how to "fight it" it will also know how to defeat the same defenses it described to you (e.g. old jet pilot race to "jam the jammer" ). My bet will be on money/currency, make it expensive so it wont be profitable but didn't we try that before?

The single most important thing is integrity. Going back to the dawn of humanity, integrity is the most important ideal. Reputation among peers.

I'll critique certain platforms and technologies dispassionately. When I brutally talk about the Fed, for example, I have no grudge against Jerome Powell as a human being. He's not doing a bad job for the situation he's in; it's the institution and the technology around it that's corrupt, not him as a person necessarily. To the minor extent that he is fair game to get meme'd as its figurehead, it's because he chose to participate as its leader. But I meme him in a way that is not negative towards him personally, and mostly just funny. I imagine Powell laughing if he sees any of my memes of him. I view him as neutral, so I neither attack nor defend.

When a high-integrity person succeeds, I'll quickly shout it out to support them. If they fail, I'll assess what happened and likely support their next thing, within reason. Business is hard, but people with high integrity get multiple shots.

When a low-integrity person succeeds, which is usually but not always through unscrupulous means, I'll acknowledge it but inspect it to see where the shortcomings were and broadcast them. To the extent that they become apparent, I'll point them out. When it comes to success, truth is important, and so those that try to succeed without truth are worthy of criticism.

In 20,000 tweets, I've been polite to everyone except maybe five people at most, and I stand by being impolite to those handful. On the other end of the spectrum, there are plenty of people who I disagree with at times, but who I view as serious people with high integrity. I purposely stand down with public criticism against those types, and will be more strategic or private with any criticism that I have.

That's the benefit of integrity. You get networks, and you get support. You don't get to bend reality, but you get flexibility from your peers when things don't work out, and you get instant promotion when things work well.

Powell is not beyond blame either, when he decided to play this game he accepted the rules and that tells you whether you have integrity or not (enter all excuses here... as to why he did it) I don't blame him or hold grudge for him either (don't really care that much, I just know where he stands and that's enough to form an opinion... Keep doing what you doing Lyn, you got it right.

Nice, but you should skin one yourself at least once in your lifetime :-)
