That said he is still a nocoiner. I heard him comment on "bitcoin and crypto as a solution looking for a problem, when it comes to money. While he liked some non-money uses for the tech."

That's pretty disappointing not gonna lie. Maybe he needs to talk to someone like Lyn Alden to really get it? Dunno.

Some of the books are a bit old now, but they still hold for most part because of how consistent they are internally. Maybethe most dated is Snowcrash, but it's still fun and consistent world/story to dive into. If you are looking where to start, perhaps try Diamond Age or Cryptonomicon (not really a scifi, nor is it about any shitcoins). But I like all his stuff, so many interesting concepts.

Yep, at least now, I'm sort of paying my parents' pensions, but after that...

At that time it was on the cutting edge what was possible and before 100% uncanny valey CGI era started. So yep, kind of a special point in time.

Today no Neal Stephenson books are a huge challenge for filmakers technically IMO.

Pretty sad no one made a "tv" series out of most Neal Stephenson books. So much empty crap being made while this kind of material sits on the shelf untouched.

That said, it's good someone didn't wokified it and made "their own version loosely based on a NS book", which is real danger nowadays.

"Ke snahám o snížení míry vládního zadlužení ekonom dodal, že tento typ změn se podobá změně kurzu u Titanicu. Jde totiž o postupný a pomalý proces, tudíž by s ním vlády měly začít co nejdříve."

Apart from extorting money from big tech, the EU is working over time to make all the tech firms leave. Outright banning would be seen as too chinese-like, so they take the next best option.

I really happy nostr and bitcoin exist, because can you imagine being really subject to those evil clowns?

To ze se zadatel o davku musi svliknout do naha a nechat si libit co jurecka naridi je problem toho kdo zada o davku. Ale ze se diky tomu nedobrovolne svliknou i jeho pribuzny (nevim jak siroce je to definovany), to neni moc pekny.

Uz aby se ty 30ky zas vratily, je mi z toho malyho zari zima.

The EU crab mentality, issuing fines to a company at the cutting edge of inovation, because of a risk of abuse of it's platform. No wonder that the majority of the companies that stay in the EU are not competitive, because once they get really good, here comes some arm of the bureaucracy and drags them down for being too good. Fucking crabs.

Kretinsky zda se uplne shortuje politiku a je to dobra zprava, diky tomu nejspis budeme mit i v pristich desetiletich funkcni elektriku. Plac ultralevicaku je taky pozitivni znameni.

Jsem zvedavej jestli teda zavedou regulerni ministerstvo pravdy, co bude "verejnopravni" CT a CRO ukolovat. Nebo jestli se teda ministerstvem pravdy maj stat samy CT a CRO a tim padem jejich nikym nevoleny zamestnanci?

😬

Samy otazky.

To nejsou statni media, ale verejnopravni. To neni dan, ale povinnej poplatek o jehoz vysi, ucelu a obsazeni kontrolniho organu plne rozhoduje stat.

No tak hlavne ze neni povinny na to koukat.

But why? Are you in a hurry to sell?
