As an aside. If you can find a decent mechanic that allows you to bring him the parts and he installs you might find that repair job is only 1/3rd of what a mechanic shop tries to charge.
Case in point: Kids rear struts needed to be changed, repair shop was quoting $800 for it. Was able to buy the struts for $90 from rockauto and have local "shade-tree" mechanic that I know charge me $300 to install them.
AI is best thought of has a "human brain magnification tool" - that is it can't replace human brains but it can extend a single human brain to be able to do many times the work it previously could.
opentimestamps?
echo "I Akg10s3 own the bitcoin in address in XXXXXXX" | sha256sum
Then take that resulting hash and put it in opentimestamps (or just manually publish that hash on blockchain via OP_RETURN yourself).
This way you could show judge that you claimed those at a specific time?
that a high-entropy passphrase
Thats actually a very good point. Hmmm....I know people have said that these were completely airgapped, so in theory we can rule out exfiltration.
A real high-entropy passphrase would seem to mitigate a RNG or library issue....unless the bug somehow affects CC private keys after a passphrase has been applied? Would be interesting to know if any users who did not have a passphrase have been compromised...
My bet is this: Someone who doesn't deeply know bitcoin has used AI to scan for vulnerabilities in RNG and or libraries used in CC.
They have identified some bug that produces a reduced search space (low entropy) and are generating random wallets in this reduced space and getting some hits, but due to their lack of bitcoin knowledge they (or more likely claude script) is only partially draining .
Real mess, feel for those affected. Time will tell....
Christianity does not believe in reincarnation nor does it believe that your soul gets subsumed into the "oneness" of universe.
This is because Christianity believes that your soul is a unique and distinct creation. Its not just a replaceable or modular part that can be repurposed. It is uniquely you and will remain uniquely you forever.
As an aside, I've often pondered if this innate individuality present in Christianity not also manifest itself in various other ways between western vs eastern thought. That is to say, many easterners seem to think of the collective more than the average westerner. Another way to say it is, does Christianity ultimately become the source of "libertarian" ideas?
Funny enough, ate a steakhouse on a recent biz trip and instead of after dinner mints they handed out "luxury jellybeans" that they made in-house. They were very good, a bit like sour balls but better....
The proper way to do this is to have AI be the fallback in case the barcode is unreadable. In the UI, they need to have a button that says something like "no barcode" or "unreadable barcode" and then the AI can look up the item and apply the missing barcode to the check out session.
Its hard to say really. All of the IP space is "owned", ICANN is more akin to your local registrar's office, they are recording who owns what, not "deciding" who owns what.
So image a state like Texas, in the early days they were giving out land to encourage settlers, but now local gov offices merely record who owns what since there is no more "free land" to give out.
I'm one of the reasons as well!
IPv6 was designed by very very smart people and in terms of a stand-alone protocol its great. However in the sense of a protocol meant to migrated to from IPv4 its very cumbersome. You basically need 2 distinct network stacks each with their own issues.
I'm not a network engineer but over the years I've heard people propose that we should've just added another one or two octets. So instead of A.B.C.D we could've had A.B.C.D.E.F
In fact it seems the smart way would've been to expand A.B.C.D into E.F.A.B.C.D, that is prepend the new octets to beginning then infer that 12.1.1.1 is really 0.0.12.1.1. to help with backwards compatibility.
That "extension" proposal was rejected because it was seen as a hack and they wanted to expand the space so much that literally nearly every grain of sand could get its own IP address, but its created lots of migration issues.
In the 1980s was IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) which was run by ICANN organization the divi-ed up the space.
Large players at that point got huge blocks.
So ATT controls 12.0.0.0 - 12.255.255.255, and even companies like Ford, HP, Apple held huge blocks.
Military and .edu also held big blocks.
Lots of those companies subsequently sold off portions of their original allocation. You can actually bid / buy blocks of IPv4 that comes available occasionally. Last time I looked, a Class C address (for instance 190.1.1.0 to 190.1.1.255 so a block of 254 addresses) sold for about $12K USD.
Ultimately math.
The maximum IP address is 255.255.255.255 so thats 256^4 = 4,294,967,296 total addresses.
IPv6 massively changes that but for various reasons uptake has been slow.
Somewhat simplistic explanation.
The internet is really just "peering agreements". So if you own some physical connection + own a routeable block of IPs you can enter into "peering agreements" with other similar entities and you broadcast how to route to your network and they do same. Then traffic flows.
But there is a caveat. If you are a new ISP then you must purchase your "transit" (upstream access) prior to anyone giving you a "peering agreement" that is because unless you have proven amount of traffic there is no worth to "peering" with you.
At the very top, a handful of “tier‑1” networks do not buy transit; they interconnect with each other purely via settlement‑free peering and collectively form what people colloquially call the “backbone.”
I used to travel to UK regularly for about 20 years and thus got very familiar with "pub culture".
Typically in UK houses were generally on the smaller side, often without any proper "living room". Thus the tradition was born to dedicate one of the houses on the street as the "public house" (thats where pub comes from), so that people could have a place to socialize, talk, drink, play darts, etc.
I mention this because prior to going to UK I pretty much mentally equated "pub = bar" and sure there are overlaps, but pubs are much more "living room hangout with beer" as opposed to a US bar which are more focused on drinking than anything else. One thing you will notice is that pubs often have peoples kids / dogs in them.
Unless you live in a city in the US, there is almost no chance that this model could catch on....as it makes no sense to drive to one (defeats the whole purpose). The absolute ideal pub / neighborhood bar needs to be walking distance otherwise the entire mood of the place is wrong.
It took me many years to recognize that Rothbard (an ethnic Jew / Atheist) consistently used "Natural Law" arguments to defend various premise he had....and the main proponent of that term was Thomas Acquinas.....
Point being, the Catholic game is so strong that even ethnic Jew / Atheist must reference it.
You could argue minimum wage should be about $50-$60 if it followed historical norms.
In 1964 minimum wage was $1.25/hr, that was 5 x US Quarters... so about 0.9 oz of silver.
Current silver price is $65/oz
Economist will push back and say that you can't compare the two because current silver demand is driven by IT / electronics / solar / industrial and that is true, however remember the incredible structural demand that coins represented in 1964.
There were no credit cards, electronic money, etc. Everything you did day-to-day required coins. Meals, drinks, pay phones, bus fares, parking meters, etc etc. Even if you paid with paper dollars you still got metal coins in change. Moreover the actual quantities of silver were huge....meaning that yes your iPhone may have silver in but, it has like 0.3gram of silver.. whereas a single 1964 US Quarter would supply maybe 20 phones.
