Clips, we want the cliiips.

Can you elaborate? Capitalism to me (its not the definition, I'm extrapolating from linguistics) is an evolution of price coordinated markets; in a price coordinated market individuals respond to the price signals they receive to perform economic calculation (at every level) to acquire value (subjectively), since all transactions are voluntary every individual necessarily increases their own subjective value with every transaction, and behavior self coordinates around the prices available to them; capitalism stretches this concept into the realm of finance, unlocking the role of capitalists who perform these calculations at scale and provide advanced financial instruments like lending and futures.

Communism is premised on the labor theory of value, where the effort involved (mindfully tasked, a point overlooked by critics but also equally easy to refute) determines the value of a good. Of course, who measures this? If you stopped there, you could say its not that different from praxeological economics (aka Austrian) but Marx did not stop, he described the 10 tenents of communism to include things like central banking; so its fairly clear that Marx felt centralized institutions should determine the value of a good (price controls), which is how it turned out anyways without the basis of subjective value theorem to allow individual participants to negotiate prices. If you start with the number of discrete goods (~25 million in the USSR), multiply that by the quantity desired (do you want 1 loaf of bread or 1000), the medium (delivery van or cargo ship), packaging (individually wrapped or in a box) etc., you get an incalculable number of prices. Every price control will cause either a surplus (floor price too high) or shortage (roof price too low), of which the USSR had many. Calculating the near infinite number of prices proved too difficult for a few thousand bureaucrats in Moscow.

You can spend the money you frame, unlike people who frame dollars or checks, interesting

No lol, you have to be an L7 and above to put a rack in your personal vehicle, you have to be an L7 and above to loose a finger in the process too😆

Bro if you needed a Jupiter rack you should have just asked

Hmmm, its interesting, maybe bitcoin denominated *ecredit* without custodial risk would be a better title though?

Fair enough but that's kind of besides my point. You can say/vote what you want in the west, you'll just be ignored if you are lucky or slandered in the media and harassed by the state if you aren't. Compared to Russia or China the US are the real war mongers. We provoked this war through a series of actions like a propaganda campaign that started against Russia when Putin decided to back Assad against ISIS when we created them to destabilize Syria; not letting Russia join NATO post collapse of the USSR; the overthrow of the previous Ukrainian government; not backing the Minsk accords. Its tragic Ukraine was caught in the middle of all this, but Ukraine being invited to NATO was never the solution, it is a pristine example of US empire building either backfiring, or intentionally being constructed to siphon money to the weapon contractors and politicians.

I need the plasmosis, it keeps me from being too much of a shut in.

Who's wish? Did the Ukrainians drafted into the war wish for it? What about the Ukrainians in the donbas that had referendums to exit Ukraine, did they wish for it? Certain members of the government have lined their pockets in the process, its their own free will to treat their citizens like cattle I guess.

Kamala Harris promising Ukraine entry to NATO directly preceded the Russian invasion, no?

No, its just the tip.

Ha, and you can't undo!...now how am I gonna get this link out

Eh, maybe, I like to keep my feed relatively mild, I scroll at work.

This is my living room, the conversation is good, I don't care about how many followers I have, a few fun people to talk to on a regular basis is plenty for me. I also get to watch the cutting edge of open source freedom tech get developed, that's heartening.

Huston we have indexing, it is the probably least programming savvy way of doing it, but it'll work for now.

Oh boy, walk into my managers office to enjoy the comfy chair at night and what do I see, my eyes are drawn to FED NOW. "huh?", I say as I look down the list, ripple, fednow, iso 20022, xlm, xdc, xrp, "nah I gotta fix this"

Because they spent their entire life being taught to accept whatever an authority figure tells them, so they'd rather believe an expert in euclidian geometry telling them 2+2=5 than think for themselves.

We will see, it'd be funny if the price exploded and coinbase goes bankrupt because they were holding paper.

Bro what

Dude bro the technology man, innovation man the builders are back, the builders are doing big things and creating value bro, look at this jpeg, rare sats dude.

The disincentive of murdering the golden goose keeps them at bay.

Its very simple, we need low power miners for at home mining. I can't run a 3kW miner at home, the power bill would dox me and I can't afford it. Even a 1kW miner would be a stretch, it'd be a huge increase to my usage. I need something in the range of 500W with reasonable efficiency, meaning if newer miners are running 3kW at 110-150 the, I need something close to 15tH. Now we just needs $10'sM...

What's the nuclear option for avoiding this? Dice rolls?

It is just kind of magical that we have this solution to a problem we have had for thousands of years right? Like if you took a hiatus from thinking about bitcoin for a few weeks (you lucky dog) and came back to it, its gotta be a little trippy coming back to that realization.

Spend a "near Christmas there", everything will be closed on Christmas and its an SOB driving out there with the snow.

Its almost like its the rational response to crisis, saving, and printing money to stimulate the economy is counterproductive.

The section of river that looks like lips in the bottom left is pretty sly.

Tried to tip, says payment routing failed 🤔

That might be really useful, I want to try to host a couple nostr related public services and stuff, so that sounds like it could really help sort things out.

Had the same issue syncing my pi 4b 8gb. It'll get there, mine took like 2 full days for the last 2%.

Yea it turned out to be that my simplex app needed to have socks5 turned off. I really do want to setup a reverse proxy though.

Gm daywalkers, nightshift needs rest.

I don't think almost anyone understands why yet, there's a few easy to grasp ideas like running nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f 's llama2, but its the equivalent of the first computers being used for calculating ballistic trajectories before the internet was discovered.

Its a psyop until I see an alien in person talking to people.

I wonder what a sane country would be, maybe the third Reich?

People think I'm weird when they ask about what I think about celebrities and I don't know any of them. I think its bizarre that people spend so much time keeping up with the lives of the rich and famous, I've got to much of my own shit going on.
