Tohle jsem našel na X:

Píšou tam Spond, Mastodon, pixefed, BeReal, Lemmy… :-)

I did good. She commited to $20.000 into Bitcoin. 😎

She’s 61. And if we, the Czechs would have something simmilar to Boomer generation (in fact we have), it would be her. I am proud of myself. Because even Jesus once said that you can’t easily be a Prophet at home. Clearly, sometimes you can. nostr:note1pnrhrelw3m5vfshdejdkz2lqkdkat4a6q7rkymjr2qduxd5n3h5qnpzyhd

yes i am very happy that we got so many improvements with 3D printing in general over the last 5 years !

I've got a 909 VST in Ableton but it would be nice to physically have one, in my studio too🤷🏻‍♂️.

I will be, eventually🙏🏻.

Yesterday my wife suggested I should start going to pub regularly.

Is this love?

it's soulcrushing to be born in communist europe, and die 70-80 years later in communist europe

When BTC hits 1M I'll be using an original TR-909😬😎.

A crazy thing is happening in Slovakia. I can't wrap my head around how crazy it is this can last so long. Their land registry was encrypted by a ransomware mid December. Apparently the backup systems were either compromised or non-existent. Today, many weeks after the attack it's still not working and the authorities are silent (or almost silent).

I won't go into the details, bacause I know little about it. The reason I'm writing this in english is to remind everyone how bad the state can be with IT. And this is not a small thing, imagine all the real estate trade that's halted, all the people with locked up money and contracts that expire at certain date and may include sanctions.

It is kinda hillarious to watch this from ancap point of view, the state is failing, yay! And this is not a small failiure imo. Will they even recover it? Can you trust the recovered database? What scams are enabled by this?

Real estate ownership = an entry in an incompetent state run centralized database. It really is a shitcoin.

Ok, takže měli na výběr a zvolili inflaci

When I look at how many people move abroad and how I can easily talk in Slovak (and Czech) with extremely interesting people - entrepreneurs, innovators, ... in cafes in Latin America, I realize that we are doing an intellectual version of agorism. This is not only a problem of Slovakia, but a European one. That is something that EU/acc movement tries to tackle.

So what is agorism? It is a strategy for increasing freedom whose effect (at least intended) is to deprive the state of as many resources (especially tax revenues) as possible. Agorism itself has many practical problems, but what is happening now is I believe intellectual form of agorism, not in the form of taxes, but in the form of intellect. Here, by the way, it's Pareto distributed. For long term results it basically depends on who the top 1% elite are, they cause most of the positive outcomes, (un)fortunately.

Despite the fact that this is a problem, I see this also as an opportunity. Because it is super easy to reverse. And that's what EU/acc movement is trying to do.

Right now, however, the exact opposite is happening. Already Liberation Travel has started transporting people to immigration offices in Latin America in buses, the cars are too small for the number of people that leave. Of course the current EU comrades may not care about that, when people feel the downstream effect of this, it will be a decade or two later. In the meantime the existing big companies are leading with the tax revenue (also pareto distribution). However, these also have a huge problem, which is not so easy to fix (Volkswagen for example, quite fundamental issues).

In his newsletter, Robert Chovanculiak writes (translation from Slovak):

"International testing has shown that we have a serious deficit in the proportion of adults in Slovakia who achieve the highest levels of literacy. In our country, they make up only 3.1%, while the OECD average is 11.7% and in neighbouring Czech Republic, for example, they make up almost 10%.

This should have been the alarming news that deserved the headlines. 'Warning! Unflattering results. We are severely lacking an intellectual elite in Slovakia." This problem is one of the most serious facing Slovakia. And it is getting worse. Every year about 20% of our (brightest) young people leave to study abroad. In fact, I consider this to be the biggest negative of Slovakia's poor quality universities. Not that they don't provide a quality education to the students who stay here. But that because of their poor quality, some of the best human capital we have has left. And it often doesn't come back."

Deregulate, lower tax burden, accelerate. No, we don't need AI / crypto / GDPR / cookies / usb ports / plastic caps / enviro regulations. We need to remove the ASAP. The original mindset was "we will regulate and everyone else will follow the regulation, because they want our market". Now I recommend a much easier strategy "just remove EU IP addresses / put a checkbox 'I am not from EU'". The burden to implement these nonsensical regulation will not pay back in larger market, just focus on other markets, there are many people who need the product or service outside of EU.

In most cases as entrepreneurs, we can choose the regulations we adhere to. It's as simple as that.
