looks cool right?
looks like I’m getting old
I don’t even trust printers (remember my joke about shooting one?), so I’m not sure I could ever trust a robot like that

Wow, wait, we're already at humanoid robots for home?
I'm still warming up to the vacuum cleaner robots.
what could be novel info that the computer or phone isn't already recording?
Good question, I need to noodle on that
I can think down that road and it seems positive for a lot of people.
I think it will be positive if it's "robot instead of nothing" and not "robot instead of human."

How private are my payments on Phoenix?
The current version of Phoenix offers no advantage regarding privacy over existing, hosted, custodial wallets. We (ACINQ) know the final destination and amount of payments.
Later versions will be much more privacy friendly, but that's in the works. More details here and here.

So, what is the reasoning here? That if you run a node and don't agree with how the network is used you should just smile and stfu?
You should first understand the problem with all its complexity before making suggestions to "save bitcoin"

This is a very basic concept. Someone makes use of their own resources to disrupt the functioning of other machines on a network.
To be fair, most DoS are DDoS and they are NOT using their own resources but botnets.

I was considering the same, but didn’t say anything, because everybody seemed so excited about it, and maybe it’s still okay.
Seems like you’re the only one in this comment section to also think adversarially.

Exactly, which is why I have a major issue with @calle pretending it's definitely not illegal.
If he can't talk openly about it, he should just keep his mouth shut and not pretend the opposite is true.

What part creates a schism?
wanting to disrupt both traditional banking systems and the global fiat currencies underpinning them with a system that can't scale to compete with them on a global level
Otherwise, it's globally adopted at the cost of disruptive impact
you want disruption, but not global adoption, that makes no sense to me
