Instead of assuming it's some sort of poison, why not take the climate activists at their word? They openly push for cooling the planet by any means necessary, including dimming the sun. I am not saying that's happening, but it's more plausible than "they're poisoning us".

Congrats to SpaceX and all their talented engineers! The amazing thing besides the catch was being able to watch Starship orbiting live, thanks to Starlink. The plasma field that formed around Starship on reentry was beautiful. Live, high-def video during the extreme heat of reentry was never possible before, AFAIK.

It's a good idea, but it probably requires GPS tracking similar to the sMiles app. I've refused to use sMiles because I don't want to dox myself.

I'm really disappointed with Google Bard. The number of things it says it can't do compared to other AIs is staggering. It can't even produce hyperlinks to Google's own services. Like, if you can't shill your own products, what are you doing??

I may have spoken too soon. I typed in a Green Day song and it started playing a different Green Day song. I noticed it said "suggested" at the top. So I skipped that song and the next one was the song I asked for. Maybe it was a glitch, dunno, but I'm still happy with it given it's free.

2023-05-11 23:10:43

- reply

I rarely do it so just tested. I had to listen to an ad to get the first specific song, but then I typed in four more specific songs after that and there were no ads. YT puts an ad in between each one.

Correct. The ads are so infrequent I don't mind. Maybe 2 short ads per 30 mins? I never timed it.

And people were worried about the fate of #bitcoin miners with decreasing block rewards. This shows that fees can cover the difference.

I'm concerned that state actors can effectively block #lightning channel operations by continuously forcing fees that are 10x or 100x more than they are now. When you control the fiat printer, this type of attack is relatively cheap.

Unfortunately I think taxes are forever, even on a Bitcoin standard. But much, much lower and only ones that are strictly necessary.

That's a solid theory. The silver lining is attacks usually make the system stronger in the long run. Bitcoin will face many tests like this.

I just hope cooler heads prevail as we try to mitigate this. I saw some dude on Twitter setting up bounties to basically burn it all down, even if that includes Bitcoin itself. I can't remember his handle at the moment, but he portrayed himself as someone whose been in the space a long time.

Some of the people you're addressing probably didn't read beyond the first paragraph. It needs to be said though. There is a lot of arrogance.
I try to remember that some of these people have been attacked or trolled for years and in response developed a thick skin that manifests as arrogance. It's a working theory. 🤷‍♂️

2023-05-07 17:12:36

It's worth noting that paying fees 10x this much would still be trivial for a state actor.

OGs have thousands of coins (or more) and yet investment is merely a trickle. I don't get it. I would think they would be more incentivized to protect and grow the network. It's a win-win for them.

In a way it shows a vulnerability. Rather than attempt a 51% attack, a government could interfere with transactions by forcing high fees.

Bitcoin, oh #Bitcoin, a currency so new,
A digital gold rush, for me and for you.
A decentralized system, that's changing the game,
A new way of thinking, that's not quite the same.
No more middlemen, to take a cut,
No more hidden fees, to make us feel stuck.
A currency for all, that's open and free,
A world without borders, for all to see.
So let's embrace this new world, with open arms,
And let Bitcoin take flight, with all of its charms.
For it's a currency of the future, that's here to stay,
And we're all a part of it, in our own special way.
