Recently, I learned that giving birth is difficult for female hyenas, as the females give birth through their narrow clitoris. When giving birth, the clitoris ruptures to facilitate the passage of the young and may take weeks to heal. Source.
A painful fact, rather than a fun fact.
  • Bitcoin-related: #475182. Very entertaining read.
  • Self-help: The One Thing. Even though all these books repackage the same message over and over, this one somehow resonated with me.
  • Physics: The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos. There are arguments for and against this type of philosophical musings based on physics, but it has made for some entertaining reads. You don't need to be a physicist to understand and/or enjoy this book.
  • In the fiction genre, last one I read were Murakami ones. Entertaining, but its special. You like it or not.
Touche.
My son is very quick to remind me to put away my phone when I am playing with him. I try to be as much as possible in the present moment when I am with him. And indeed, they learn by example.
It's nice it also shows on mobile now, indeed.
Welcome!
How is the Bitcoin scene in Belgium/Netherlands? I've seen in a recent AMA from Relai that Northern European countries are much less adopting it than the Southern ones... except maybe for that Bitcoin city in the Netherlands (forgot the name).
Welcome. Have a few sats.
You mentioned earlier that you are from India, so I'm not learning anything new.
Yet, the links you shared confirm this clearly with the website extensions and the currencies used on the linked pages~~
I'm not hell-bent on privacy (it's easy to figure out who I am in real life with all the things I've shared before, including my username here), but it reminds me how much tracking information websites add to their links. These days, for instance, I always try to remove anything behind ref in the website link.
I agree with your point that creativity is something that seemingly comes out of nowhere.
But even then... take artists for instance. The ones that complain very hard about AI saying that it took them years of effort to get to where they are at now. Indeed, each artist's style and creative output gets shaped by all the years they studied other artists work. In a sense, that's also what AI does, but that's a discussion for another time~~
Didn't know about SCAMPER.
I did not go through all the details of the method, but it seems to align with my core belief that creativity is rooted in a thorough understanding of what already exists. You can only make creative and unexpected links if you have solid blocks to build with. Most of my most impactful research and current high-impact publications build on years of previous development of computational tools. Of course, I cannot claim Nobel-prize worthy results, but many Nobel prizes are just the culmination of many years of preliminary work by other researchers in the world.
And to bring it back to Bitcoin, Satoshi's main contribution was to bring together years of previous disparate ideas going around in the Cyberphunk world into one coherent product that is Bitcoin. That's one of the reasons I believe Satoshi must be someone who was already active in the field before.
Great, thanks a lot. Here a few sats for him.
Caveat: I vaguely remember asking a similar question 1-2 years ago, but I can't find it. Not sure it was on this platform.
It's human nature to oppose change.
As a completely unrelated sidenote, what is the book you had recommended me on our zoom call at the beginning of your SN journey? Do you remember? It was a book about how to prepare for a coding interview. Was it this one?
What advantages and disadvantages come with the MiCA license? Is it hard to get the license? Do you see things going forward or backward in Europe? Have things reached a point of no-return already? What is the future of Bitcoin in Europe? Is MiCA the endpoint in terms of regulations?
If only someone had invented a technology that allows one to circumvent such freezing order...
I had observed something similar back at university. I had 30 questions to prepare for an exam. I had numbered them 1 to 30 on a piece of paper. Each time, I asked friends to pick a random number to tell me which question to focus on next.
All the odd numbers came out first before an even number popped up.
Somehow, even numbers don't feel random. Ever since, I try to give an even number as answer when someone asks for a random number. By doing so, I paradoxically prove yet again @davidw's comment above, humans are unable to act truly random.
Incidentally, this is also how fabricated data can be uncovered. By checking if certain data follows the (bi)normal, exponential, etc... distributions typical for certain kinds of data, it is very easy to prove that some data was fabricated.
