back in 2018 i worked really hard to block any bot accounts from following me, i like to think that kept me out of a lot of their networks but i haven’t kept on top of it

2025-01-11 13:52:05

thinking about why my following count is small compared to twitter. it’s two things.
one: new, compelling content from accounts im not already following doesn’t cross my feed that often.
two: my feed already feels kinda busy so it doesn’t occur to me to seek out more stuff

bitcoin was originally proposed in a white paper, which was published to a mailing list for cryptography enthusiasts. what year was the paper sent to the mailing list? (Oct 31, 2009)
the code that make bitcoin work was released later. when was the first version of bitcoin software released? (Jan 3, 2009)
the bitcoin whitepaper is famous for explaining how to solve what difficult computer science problem for digital currencies that are transacted peer to peer? (the double spend problem; eg how to make sure only one person gets the money at a time)
bitcoin is a blockchain. on average, a new bitcoin block gets added to the chain every how many minutes? (10m)

my favorite dog training book (Karen Pryor’s Don’t Shoot the Dog) is really careful to make the point that when you give a dog a treat you have to give it to them with as much love and respect as possible; throwing the treat at the dog undoes all the work you did to earn their respect to follow your orders
