Who is advising President Trump? This is nuts.
It was closed because it was so expensive to operate. it will still be extraordinarily expensive to operate compared to a prison built almost anywhere else. And there will be so much reconstruction required -- on an island, where the nearest land is nearly the most expensive in the country.
From a reply further down the thread ... he does really know how to make his point:
But it's also a poor argument because anything Satoshi said would have been a decade ago and said without the practical experience of actually seeing Bitcoin used, and that he was saying it as part of a discussion and not some contract or constitution. We have forum posts from him, not stone tablets.
One of surprises today was how well #meshtastic network worked for me during Portugal power outage. Thanks to my node I had enough information about what's going on even when I had no other connectivity (no TV, cellular, internet).
When (and why) did StackExchange let a bunch of the shitcoins each get their own StackExchange Territory (er., ... subdomain site)? Stellar, EOS, Polkadot? LOL!
Looking for the day they include SN in their Questions & Answers section, then we'll know SN has made it!
Update on this .... only the GL-MT3000 is today tested and working, but others are being added with community testing being encouraged.
Because I'ld rather share my Q&A time with those who are mostly tip of the spear, rather than with those who are a boil on the ass (i.e., most of those on r/TimesuckWithNoBenefit, Stack_FuckoffSomeoneElseAskedThatAlready_OverFlow, etc.)
Oh -- now I understand.
Also, these are kind of like a trap. For the convenience in being able to shop with a prepaid balance (like I might enjoy when using my Starbucks app), I might think keeping a smaller balance, something like $25, lessens my risk of a loss to being rugged. No -- the impact of being rugged isn't less, it's just that my exposure is smaller.
That title had me confused -- where in the article is the argument for there actually being only 8.21 million?
At first I was thinking maybe this article was a big blocker argument, and that there are 8.21M non-segwit coins or some nonsense like that.
Then I cleaned my glasses.
Great video. I hadn't heard Saylor say some of those things before.
Then switch to DST and leave it, so there's no change twice a year.
Oh ... that's bad because in the winter some kids will die because they are crossing roads in the dark?
Then the schools can change the time that they open, seasonally. Problem solved. You're welcome.
