I'm not convinced that anything can be "untraceable". Every action in the "real world" leaves a trace of some sort. Its just a matter of who can find the trace, and whether they can decode the trace such that it reveals something about the "real" action that occurred.
XMR relies on obfuscation of traces that everyone has access to.
LN relies on limiting access of transparent traces to only the nodes that route a txn.
Different approaches. Apples and Oranges.
Just because a protocol makes it easier to "act" with fewer and/or obfuscated traces than another protocol, does not necessarily prevent someone from using the protocol in a (wrong) way that creates MORE/TRANSPARENT traces.
That's the problem with reading one article on a topic: the algorithms keep pushing articles on the same topic. Need to actively fight it so I don't keep reading the same stuff with different flavors. This means I also have to proactively curate what I share here.
One day... one day SN will be my only source where everything will be curated and fit my interests while providing sufficient variation. Until then...
Linux kernel maintainers are unwilling for the patch.
Nah, just one kernel maintainer was publicly unwilling. A maintainer who has always wanted the kernel to be C-only and is commonly considered to be a troll. But Linus didn't like the social media drama.
Do you have a link for more context? But from only the context here, Linus seems totally in the right.
Exploiting social media NPCs to get your way is really unprofessional and counterproductive.

Ahh so more of a support role? The unsung heros in most games. I don't mind the roll, but my middle child syndrome demands that I be more in the center of attention.
'hey we're not paying bond-holders we have no revenue coming in and... we're not paying.'
The will never be a default. Bond holders will get freshly printed dollars.
This is already whats been happening for last 60+ years....old debt is just rolled into newer / bigger debt. There has never been any "debt paid off".
Its not my fault if lenders didn't realize this was what was happening (hint: they all know this is how the game has been working, none of this is a surprise).
Would result in no military, no police, no air traffic controllers, no FDA, no Dept of Energy (which has nukes) no 'Border Control' or ICE, no Social Security no Medicare no NASA and that would be...
So in other words the US would become like it was at its founding? A founding that then permitted enough wealth to be rapidly built that could then fund all the grift you mentioned.
The notion that "no one will sell oil or beef because the Dept of Energy and FDA doesn't exist".... how did we ever manage before 1940?
I often do that, too. He was just tripping all over himself trying to track a sign error through an entire blackboard worth of derivations.
No, the big concern with public microdata is that the information can be linked to an individual. The government has lots of records about regular people that are supposed to be confidential.
Data scientists who work with this kind of data, like me, have to take lots of precautions to make sure we aren't publishing information that can be linked to a specific person.
The definition of adoption is another assumption altogether, as it's mere existence has impacts beyond its immediate users. Do nuclear weapons prevent war if they're never used?
I hadn't considered this way of thinking about it, but it seems useful. To continue the analogy, the deterrence power of nukes was achieved after 150k-250k people were killed, and two cities were obliterated; followed by various other extreme demonstrations of power even more terrible as technology advanced over the years.
What would constitute a similarly compelling show of force, wrt btc? Has it been achieved already?

I have almost zero control over my reward function. I belive there was a study where they hooked electrodes to rats brains and let them hit a button to release dopamine into their brain and the rats would starve to death rather than quit hitting the button. I'm kind of like that.
the maintainer of the component won't accept the patch because he can't understand Rust code
It's a common accusation in the Linux/FOSS world that people block merges and leave nitpicking comments about code they didn't even try to understand and just glanced at. I don't know how real it is. But I certainly know that the Linux world is full of people with this attitude.
Was there a catalyst for this outcome? Were these companies 'shitcoins' the whole time, or has there been any progress in the field?
I just can't seem to get over the fact that Linus appears every fucking time as a chad, like a divinity or sum.
And Asahi dev team is too good for hector's management.
Looks like I've (permanently?) parked myself on #4. Nice place to be. Good on ya, @Aardvark
(also, since it's impossible to get to the Ruby/Undisc levels, and we're neck-and-neck... I ain't even troubled by being beaten by an ugly, four-legged, nocturnal, snout-first earth pig.)
