Anyone use #AI for #genealogy yet? I remember as a teenager basically anyone who was like 50+ was hardcore I to genealogy and their family tree. They would take road trips to places thier parents grew up and grandparents lived and even go to the Granite Mountain Records Vault (the world's largest collection of genealogical records) housed in a secure vault located in the mountains near Salt Lake City. I wonder if the Mormons have trained a special AI for this yet?
Use to take months to discover stuff, then much was digitalized and online with gate keeper companies you paid. I assume all of this has been trained on at this point.... anyone know of any AI specializing in this?

It’s unfortunate that Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been detained based on what appears to be overzealous enforcement of some moderation requirements.
In that vein I’d like share a few thoughts on the topic,
Telegram as many Cypherpunks have pointed out was an unencrypted, centralized service that everyday put all its users at risk and painted a target on its founder & employees BY DESIGN.
They chose to design a system where attacks on the operators were not only feasible, in many cases they are the most profitable attack (especially when accomplished in secret against the users interest).
The whole concept of secure & pseudonymous Cypherpunk crypto was first build as Mixmaster an anonymous remailer which was written in response to the Church of a Scientology suing to get access to database of pseudonyms in the http://Anon.penet.fi legal case which ultimately caused the pseudonym service to shut down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penet_remailer
This directly led to the creation of Mixmaster anonymous mail relays, TOR and our own service ZeroKnowledge Freedom. The design principles for all of these were to include no trusted third party and use cryptography to enable the user to control their own identity.
By removing the 3rd party trusted entity it made everyone safer including the operator of the service.
Also while everyone rails against the French government for arresting Pavel, it’s not a concept foreign to Western democracies like Canada and United States.
Hushmail was encrypted private email compromised with a back door and data dump ordered by US government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hushmail#Compromises_to_email_privacy
E-Gold was a 10yr old online payments service linking gold deposits to online payments operated by Cypherpunk Douglas Jackson. He was arrested, threatened with 20yrs in prison and his company shuttered after he asked for the rules to operate legally and instead of defining them, he was persecuted. https://wired.com/2009/06/e-gold/
The operators of Backpage a commercial competitor to Craiglist build by local newspaper entrepreneurs (https://reason.com/2018/11/15/the-backpage-scandal-isnt-what/) were arrested and the government spend more than 5yrs in court arguing that they couldn’t even use the 1st amendment as a defence. https://reason.com/2023/06/09/prosecutors-say-backpage-defendants-shouldnt-be-allowed-to-reference-the-1st-amendment/. This was after a mistrial, a judgement of prosecutorial overreach, government officials still appealed with the sole intent of removing any mention of freedom of speech as a right. This was essentially the government claiming that they didn’t moderate ads properly.
Kik Interacrive and Canadian messaging app with 100employees was sued for $100m and ultimately shut down following prosecution by the SEC for an illegal token sale. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/kitchener-based-messaging-app-kik-to-close-amid-digital-token-lawsuit-1.4607874(Remember Telegram completed a token sale which made its founder a billionaire)
There are many more cases that I could reference from
@KimDotcom
, Ross Ulbricht and Wikileaks.
Conclusion
The facts are still out with regards to the specific law Pavel is being held on. It’s not clear if this is just a French government prosecution or a multilateral effort with US Government participation. (as seen above extra jurisdictional application of its laws in cyberspace is the norm)
Before everyone answers the call to invade France, or to take up arms to free Pavel we need to know more about the specific charges, remedies being sought and what the exposure the the millions of Telegrams users is.
Regardless the Cypherpunks who’ve long pointed out that unencrypted, centralized services are a risk to users and the operators of that service are the ones who get to claim “I told you so”.
Your protections in the digital age shouldn’t be based on the fickle policies of governments, or the goodwill of an operator who hopes not to be forced to betray you. Use services that are trust minimized.
We called our company ZeroKnowledge for a reason. If there was a gun to our head we couldn’t violate our users privacy. It wasn’t possible. — that should be the standard.

Mouse jiggler applications automatically move your mouse cursor periodically to prevent your computer from falling asleep or locking due to inactivity. They help you stay active and ensure that your status is not set to inactive or away. Or ask around, I am sure there is a nice open source script for your browser to keep it green.
(Also consider finding a new gig where productivity means results, not "managers" watching for away bubles).

I get that fiat is ending, but letting cash die prior to the inevitable end of fiat is a real problem....
The crazy part is that the government isn't ending it, we the people are. We are choosing "convenience" over privacy again.
I am not taking crazy pills, I am not the grumpy old dude, cash is actually ending and no one seems to care. I am screaming into the void again.

Before I could check-in online for my International flight to the USA the other day, I had to fill out a full KYC form for the CDC via United airlines. What is going on?
United obviously has all my info, but forced me to do it all again for CDC before I was allowed to check in online and called it "contact tracing". There was no way around it. This is not normal post covid stuff even during covid it was easier to navigate around. What is this new crazy?

This is how they survive. You must know this. You're too smart not to know this.
They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it.
All this will be for nothing. We will have been for nothing. Defined by their histories... distorted to fit into their narrative... until all that is left of us are the monsters in the stories they tell their children.

Say you have two different people.
Dan and Dan
Dan is the first host, and Dan is the second host.
Dan sends Dan a synchronized message (SYN) which Dan receives
Dan then replies that he acknowledged it, synchronized-acknowledged (SYN-ACK)
Dan then replies that she acknowledged the acknowledgement and Dan doesn't reply.

Man in the middle attacks by Meta apps placing rootkits on phones to intercept and decrypt traffic (e.g. break SSL) ostensibly for Snapchat intelligence, but in practice for anything targeted. Basically, Israeli spyware via Meta’s acquisition of Onavo.

A billion dollars is 1,000 times $1 million. That means a billionaire has a thousand times more wealth than a millionaire . . .If you have $10,000 in the bank, congratulations: You’re 10 times closer to becoming a millionaire than a millionaire is to reaching billionaire statu
Being a millionaire is basically middle class now. Thanks fiat.

Have an off-grid location with a solar set up. It will be vacant for long streaches of the year so I am wondering if there is a way I could run a miner, since the power is basically just not used?
48V system 35.5 kWh
Twelve 285W PV modules
Twelve Trojan L16RE-2V batteries (1,110 Ah battery bank)
Only power draw besides the miner would be the internet (starlink). Are there some options in the market for this already, or will I need to go down the rabbit hole fulltime and build my own?

This is kind of stupid, but it's times like these I like to think about the people who I have sent BTC to over the years. It's kind of an intimate thing for the ones who held. For those who didn't it's regret and excuses.
When I buy stuff with #Sats that stuff has to be really worth it to me. I have probably spent more sats zapping on Nostr and buying Nostr related services then anything else at this point. The coolest thing about that is almost all the Nostr services have improved during that time, just like the sats I sent them.

I have an American friend, he has lots of guns & ammo. I asked him why, his response was "because I can". I think this is an excellent answer but also I am pretty sure he would even if he "couldn't" (in a compliance sort of way).
It came up because he once told me he ordered tens of thousands of rounds of different ammo online and it was all delivered by mail, that's when I asked why. Back in the day Iranians stacked silk carpets (equivalent to american CDs/bonds), Indians stack Gold jewelry. Smart Americans stack guns and ammo. Now everyone everywhere can stack #Bitcoin. It's pretty amazing.

Saying no is always an option, but only you can do it for you. The other side of that is negotiating to get yourself what you require from them to be this available for them (equity, significant raise, additional time off they can't call you in during, overtime at a rate you desire anytime you work someone else's shift/they call you in etc..) be creative and ask for what you require. Worse case scenario they say no, best case scenario you realize your worth and move on to better things.

2. It is not natural to carry the burden of your expired version for your entire life.
Note: Choose everything that will push you towards expansion and growth.

When you feel most ontop of the world due to what you think the price is gonna do (or has done) is a great time to shut up.
It's none of my business, I do however think there will be a highly lucrative business in running a operation to help public Bitcoin people escape their current identities and locations (if they were smart enough to hodl appropriately).... so maybe it is my business.

I appreciate guys like Adam Black who suss out stuff like this and do it within reason:
"Consider if you buy MSTR with BTC at 75 and sell at 65 or 55 even, that's a +15% BTC premium or +35% premium respectively."
The point is not to actually do this, the point is he saw something and looked into it and it has worked in that moment. The curiosity and work put in to find the dynamic is what is great.
Have the self awareness to not do dumb shit if you're not in that zone. Stay humble, keep building and stacking. I like to see people winning!

Stack Holder wisdom: Important reminder as #Bitcoin  starts to teleport your net worth higher: Attaching your happiness or self-worth to something that is completely outside of your control (like the BTC price) is always a recipe for a bad time.
Life has a way of matching every euphoric high to a depressive low. Yin & Yang. Light and dark.
So whether they're green or red, don't let the numbers on the screen control your mood.
Remain even-keeled and rational.
Remember what you own.
Expect volatility both ways.
And give your focus to things that are in your control while you wait for the world to slowly understand what you already figured out about Bitcoin.
Your time is more scarce than BTC. So make it count!

So on a Bitcoin standard all us OG's gonna wear our balance? ;)
Tony Cross: "Had a shower thought about money thanks to an observation in @LynAldenContact’s excellent book. When shells were money they were proudly displayed on necklaces or sewn into clothing.
Why wear your money? Because the money is pretty? Sure, but more importantly, those shells literally represent favors done for others.
Many of these societies shared essential goods in common, but not these luxuries. To wear a heavy necklace of shells is to tout one’s social credit score, to say “hey I have done a lot for y’all.” One is paid interest, so to speak, on one’s shells in the recognition that one is a giver. And when you give someone else some shells, you are giving them some social credit while diminishing your own. That’s actually the currency, that respect and gratitude and recognition that you command with wealth.
We think of money in a forward-looking way: it’s power. But money has been worn, equally, because money literally was virtue in some societies, it was seen in a backward-looking way, the mark of someone who does the dishes, takes on a dangerous job, etc., someone who racked up many favors.
Our money is so divorced from virtue that to have a lot of it says almost nothing. It could mean you got lucky, served in congress, had insider info, exploited slave labor, etc. or built something cool and appreciated by millions (though perhaps you merely found the way to profit, rather than actually doing the grunt work.)
To flaunt wealth now is to flaunt power and connections, not goodness. And… not that we can restore this connection in our global economy, but that’s another way in which our money is broken. Wealth, in some settings, used to be simply and uncontroversial a good thing, because money itself was a record of goodness."
