Serious question: Why do you think LN is not crap but liquid is crap? More specifically how do you tell a project is shit or not?
I guess if Luke jr really is "smart" and didn't really loose it he will have to be careful to not expose himself to the FBI.
You don't have to watch it all either, a lot of the episodes stand on their own. 100% recommend though, especially for you DarthCoin; The show has very good dark and vulgar humor.
Can't the CEO come in and fire the other bad apples?
And it's not going to stop unless there are criminal proceedings against the executive leadership.
It will stop once people vote with their wallet and refuse to fly on Boeing plans.
I've been getting into strength training. I bought a power cage, adjustable dumbells, barbell, and 370lb of plate weights all for under $1000 brand new. Working out at home is IMO much easier than working out at the gym. You can get used equipment for even cheaper if you search around.
You can also look at going the crossfit route and get used tracker tires, railroad ties, etc for cheap and throw them around outside.
If all you want to do is run and the weather is nice then that makes sense. If the weather isn't nice or you want to lift a lot, or target certain muscles then the gym makes more sense.
I tried to do some testing with a multisig a few months ago and it did not go well. As a result I haven't switched to multisig yet. Here is what I wanted to test:
- Create a 2/3 multi-sig, but use 1 signing device from a friend, and the other 2 be my signing devices.
- Be able to use software like Sparrow to sign a PSBT myself and then send it to the friend for them to sign in a situation where I lost one of my signing devices.
The idea being that I could use my friend's signing device as a recovery option if I lost 1 of my signing devices. Using all the technology that already exists we should be able to do all this over the internet.
Idk if the issue was they were on a Mac or what but we were never able to actually successfully sign a PSBT and broadcast it. I could do it locally when I tested with 3 signing devices, but when I would sign a PSBT and send it to them Sparrow had issues with signing it.
Very cool project. I would love some pics of the setup.
Also, Have you used the s9 in place of the s19? Maybe the s9 will work with your solar and batteries better?
I was thinking more around pragmatism.
Pragmatism isn't a moral framework. You can argue if killing someone is pragmatic, but most won't care about that, they care if it's moral.
If I am an average guy who is happy with my life, why should I risk "letting the market solve national defense?" At best, I pay less in taxes. At worst, my country gets invaded by China.
Because what you are supporting is immoral.
Fair. Under your definitions, can you imagine a scenario in which this is the case? If not, why not?
Sure, under almost any metric humans have flourished in the last few hundred years. Now did they flourish as a direct result of a constitution? I don't see the connection between a constitution and human flourishing.
This was listed in the post I linked as one of the hard questions libertarians need to answer.
I understand that, what I don't understand is where the baby in the ocean thing came from. Who ever said throwing a baby in the ocean isn't immoral?
Please note - the questions I posed are what I think libertarians need to answer if they ever want to have a legitimate voice in the direction of their country (at least from my perspective in the US). I am already opposed to most regulations. I also think there are some that probably do more good than harm, but those are very limited and I can't think of any examples off the top of my head.
Sure, but that's all just your opinion, man. My opinion is that a Libertarian (big L) isn't going to be able to do anything to get a legitimate voice. Look at what happened to Ron Paul when he ran. You can also look at what happened to Bernie Sanders. In the USA if you don't run as a D or a R you are not going to make it anywhere, it's been proven for years.
You are right everyone is different, so asking the question "where do you think the nomads paying taxes to?" doesn't make any sense. I don't think nomads pay less taxes than non-nomads, but if you have the data to dis-prove that, please show.
How can libertarians articulate that the benefit of eliminating all government is worth the risk?
How can political ideology do this? This is a loaded question that assumes utilitarian morality is what moral framework followed. IMO utilitarian morality is immoral. With utilitarian morality whomever has the bigger gun is the one who gets to call the shots.
Can a proper constitution that is carried out dutifully by a central government increase human flourishing?
This all depends on what your definitions are. e.g. In the US "conservatives" pound their chest about freedom, yet will gleefully vote on laws that put people in jail who smoke plants. If you asked a "conservative" this they would say that throwing said people in jail is "human flourishing".
Is libertarianism - or maybe the non-aggression principle - a legitimate movement/principle if libertarians cannot agree on whether throwing a baby into the ocean ought to be a crime?
What the hell are you talking about? The legitimacy of principles does not change based on a certain group of people agreeing on something or not. Throwing a baby into the ocean is against the NAP, only fools argue that is not true.
How can libertarians change the image that is conjured in people's mind when they hear the word libertarian?
Live their lives, stack sats, be a good person. Actions speak louder than words, stop arguing with others about why "libertarian-ism" works and show it.
I agree. I think OP it talking about "Libertarian" (big L) which is just a state-ist with special rules. Down with the state, fuck the government.
developed some integration tools for this ecosystem.
You should make these open-source so others can benefit from them. There is a lack of tools like this in the Bitcoin world.
this experience confirmed for me that it's a niche with immense potential
Why did this experience confirm that there is immense potential?
In general I think you should explore the idea, if Bitcoin is going to take off we need more people like you. However I think (maybe only in the short term) you will be able to make more money being a cloud engineer at a typical company. Cloud engineers get paid very well (especially in the USA) and I doubt you'd make more as a Bitcoin consultant.
The average person doesn't know how to use technology at all, if a company is going to accept Bitcoin it is going to have to be retard-proof, which is very difficult. For example, the company you mentioned is 100% going to have to accept LN BTC, no one is going to sit around for ~10 mins while they wait for their food, plus if fees are high, it's just not going to make economic sense to buy a $10 thing and pay $3 for a fee (and you wait for 10 mins, wtfbbq).
A business already has a lot to focus on, having to figure out how to accept BTC via the LN network is too much for them. It's probably better to sell these companies an all in one solution that allows them to accept BTC via LN and not think about it at all.
With all that said, I work in the same industry (SRE/Devops/Infra), feel free to send me a message if you want to bounce ideas off.
Good luck.
Do you have any evidence who the nomads pay taxes to? I assume they do in fact pay taxes to someone(s).
