Why? Do you want to have an anti-circadian rhythm?(Blue light is only evil after dusk and before dawn.)

How does anyone have time to be an inventor? I have to spend 60hours a week providing for my family. I get 2 days a week to explore my ideas and then at a moment of a breakthrough it's late on Sunday and If I want to not die at work I go to bed and put off my ideas until next week. On top of that very limited excess captial limits these things even further. I think I will start a Podcast where I just say all of my dumb ideas and hopefully someone hears it and makes it because I am obviously never going to make these things a material reality. Anyone got an opinion here? #inventors #ideas #help

Brutal comment on that post in particular too.

Staggering amout of typographical errors for a QA guy. 😂

I agree with your sentiment of UI design but forgoing wheels because you don't like how the sidewalls look is a bit myopic. Testing is happening by the way, millions of times over but, there is not a readily accessible log of errors and bug for devs to work on. THAT would be good to implement in wallets BUT the optics of:

STORE YOUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET WITH MY PROGRAM! (but also if there is a, "if you found an error or bug you find log that here," button.) People might not use your program enough to test it.

Lol. This is like if you gave primitive humans english language to try to communicate. They would just use the letters as they saw fit. But to an outside observer they might seem to be using english to say profound things but in reality the phrase "I wonder about the nature of existence" meant "I gotta take a shit." To them. But the observer might be tricked into thinking the primitives are very profound because we don't know WHY they use the words they use.

The same with AI. They are predicting the next word that is likely to come after another. And because modern humans have said profound things in their data set, IT says profound things. But for all we know the AI is just saying it needs to take a shit.

Damn I'm pedantic but the infusion of nation and state is a recent phenomenon. Nations USED to be a general cultural and ethnic group not of choice but temperament and moral cohesion.

Thank you, and you as well.

Saifedean implied that the appreciation of Bitcoin over time would be the yield. Saylor misunderstood Saifs point because they were trying to compare apples and oranges. Receiving 1 million sats 10 years from now would hold more value than 1 million sats today. Saylor basically said no, that's still only 1 million sats on a balance sheet.

Banks and intermediaries in Bitcoin are vastly different, it's a bit hard to take the suggestion seriously. Fee's taken for literally facilitating a peer to peer trade and fees taken by handing one person's money to another person as a loan are completely different. No bank today puts up their own capital as the liquidity layer of transfer. They literally just edit a ledger and any discrepencies are loaned from the fed. The only value Banks used to offer was holding your gold for you and transferring it to your associate's bank.

I don't use banks. I use intermediaries when I cannot do something myself (which is rare). Zeuspay doesn't hold MY coins. People pay them, they pay me.

More likely a failure of language. I listed several things that banks "do"

When i say a bank doesn't do anything i am referring to value created.

Banks leverage value entrusted to them to bestow value upon others. They nearly never return that value to the depositors because of material inflation. I know there's risk. It seems that is only something Saylor doesn't understand which is why many have panned him for that interview.

Right. And what is that regular course of business for a bank? Lending.

What do they lend? Deposits.

And what did you deposit? Bitcoin.

We're literally reillustrating why gold failed.

If they lend fiat, they can print more.

If they lend gold, they issue coupons in a ponzi scheme.

What do you think happens when they lend your bitcoin out?

Banks are a vestigal contrivance of when they were gold warehouses. Banks don't DO anything. They don't even store an appreciable amount of fiat notes which is their ostensible purpose. So the course of their business is stealing (borrowing without permission) people's money and giving it to others. When they lose that money they just print more. How can they do that with Bitcoin. That is why I ask where the 5% comes from. It's especially farcical when Saylor claims that it would be a "Risk-Free" return. So at the end of it all I know it's not Unique what banks WILL do in the future. I am saying if you value your bitcoin you would never give it to a bank.

In this world where does the 5% come from? Why would a bank give you anything to hold BTC? The answer is rehypothication. They loan your bitcoin to others. If you actually care about the value proposition of Bitcoin this is akin to naked short selling. Infinite downside marginal upside. As for the chide about my analogies, remember if you happen upon two people speaking a foreign language and you don't understand them, that doesn't mean they are speaking gibberish. Maybe you might need the humility to realize YOU don't understand something that is clear to others. I am not saying Saylor is incorrect about things that might happen. I am saying they are economically illiterate. People do things that cause market failures all the time. But the Yield paradigm he is predicting is just as foolish as printing dollars and just as disasterous.

What is realistic? Basically the contention comes down to nominal versus real "gains" and what can be measured.

Saylor is using the dollar as a measuring stick. That is an impossible, and at the very least innaccurate measure. Saying "5%" doesn't mean anything realistically when you have some sort of ever expanding pizza. It makes no sense to say I want 5% of a pizza that is expanding in volume but becoming less calorie dense with each expansion per square inch.

Saylor is saying people want more pizza and will continue to want more pizza.

Saif is saying people want calories and will make the choices that meet that end.

Which one is the realist? Well, the people who chase the ever expanding slice will STARVE to death and are therefore inconsequential to the future. Those who chase calories will still be alive in the future and thus be important to analyze.

This is the same problem as when people say "The government and blackrock having Bitcoin will be bad."

How?

When they fail to produce value they will have their holding siphoned away but productive people. How will they gather more when they are the least efficient and most wasteful entities? They won't they will just spend their Bitcoin until there's nothing left trying to keep their charade afloat.

Saylor seems to think that the fiat paradigm is just "not efficient." He is incorrect. It is a sinkhole of human production that is only alive through the sheer volume of of social cohesion. Think of a blown tire going 80MPH. The only thing keeping your car from flying off of the road is that this stretch is fairly straight and you have momentum. The moment there is a(n economic) curve in the road, the crash will be quick and it will be violent.

Sorry for the diatribe but the buzz of "Realist" sticks in my brain. The people who dropped bombs on civilians in Japan were Realists. We need to search your bags be fore you get on the plane are Realists. It always seems to give cover to moral misgivings because if we stop the car with the blown tire we might lose control. I reject that.

I have always perceived morality as the calculation of the consequences of actions that lead to generational flourishing or demise. The things that are morally bad are things that will diminish future generations in their totality. Things that are morally good are things that allow flourishing of future generations.

In this framework stealing isn't bad because you're taking someone's stuff. It's bad because future generations will feel like no matter how many things they have or how hard they worked to get them, those things can be taken from them without repercussion. That persistent idea in a generation is more damaging than the material loss of the object. The reason why societies strive for justice is not that it feels good to punish bad people. It is the generational idea that when someone aggresses against you there is recourse and recompense. The idea of being helpless against those who wish to do you harm, does more damage than the individual harms themselves.

In this framework you can deduce that sexual deviancy is also immoral through the damage to future generations through sheer population reduction. It is not the acts themselves that create the harm. It is the idea that reproduction is something done for fun and has no intrinsic value to human flourishing.

I could go on and on but that framework I see as a good way for those who cannot or unwilling to communicate to a divine sense of morality to compile their morality from source code, essentially.

Everytime I see his quotes I am glad I gave my son his name in the middle.

How is there no algo on Nostr and this keeps happening? Maybe the human experience is the Algo of existence.

Linux was adding something automactically without User input? I understand discovery, but non-validated or approved data? Sheeeeesh.

Did they ever outline what the actual RCE exploit was? Or are they waiting for enough updates to paper it over?

You aren't here? I thought I saw you around.

Yeah, that was my point.

I defintely hate it when I murder someone and people who aren't involved try to control control my body and shame me for murdering. UGGHHH! So unfair. On top of that when I put myself in a room full of tigers all they ever seem to want to do is eat me! Like WTF?! I know I put myself in that situation but the tigers should respect my bodily autonomy and know that I don't want to be eaten.

I'm just glad someone finally wrote a song about this. It's hard out there for murderous, edible people. 😭😭
