  4. "We don't need scaling because almost no one wants self-custody"
    • A jadedness has fallen over bitcoiners, many believing mass self-custody is a fantasy. If it's not a self-fulfilling prophecy, there's no need for soft-forks improving self-custody.

AMA frequency and quality has been great lately. Nice work @benwehrman
Don't forget Jeff Ross suggested he would be available for an AMA in late Sept.
Do you want me to follow up with him or do you want to do so?

I could not have suffered a more humiliating defeat. @grayruby, how did you not rub this in my face?

I knew the Raiders were playing the Ravens tomorrow. I figured your weekend would be filled with enough misery.

Losing to a great team is no problem, unlike, say, losing to a bad team that’s starting your former backup QB.

That’s true but the latter isn’t going to happen.

Congratulations to the SN team and everyone who performed well in whatever category. There is a lot of quality on this platform.
I would like to ask at this point about something stated in the short book written by Carlo M. Cipolla, called "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" and presented by @DarthCoin.
Will the SECOND LAW be fulfilled among Bitcoiners? Having as a definition of a Bitcoiner NOT someone who has Bitcoin, but rather someone who LOVES Bitcoin.
A law is immutable. And considering how dangerous stupid people are, I am afraid.

Hmmm we're detecting that avif as a video.

I notice sometimes that if I want to save an image posted on SN it is saved as avif, even that was uploaded as jpeg.

Weird. We might have a setting wrong.
Ah, I think it's a feature not a bug. AVIF compresses better than jpeg without compromising the image quality.
