Would be awesome if he did and we just never heard of him ever again. But I suspect that it will be asking too much.

Wow! I wonder what's wrong with the French government's ability to accurately forcast her own economic situation again and again.

Perhaps the EU needs to allow France to change her government and make her own rules.

Desperation as the EU fractures?

Just nonsense 'nudging' from governments, justifying the right of government to behave like a mom, create departments and make life less fun in every way possible.

I don't drink much at all, so have little skin in the game. But life was more fun without statist fools. Just sayin

Instabnt improvement of life quality 😂

The whole notion is a farsicality. So, this is the workflow:

What color is your wallet? How much do you have in your wallet? Send a photograph of this wallet.

What is their name? What is your relationship to this person. Friend, terrorist or launderer? Where does your friend live?

There should be a third option:

Please check this box if you prefer to decline this demand under the protections of Common Law and the provisions of the Magna Carta, because you prefer not to live in a surveillance state, and prefer to not be exploited by third parties or for your information to be used for marketing purposes.

i get you.

Oddly, maybe what made me respond in that way was the lack of awareness of the average person seeking some donation that I have seen. I happened to be in a city that had performers (performing in the street) as part of a festival.

I saw many appeals for donations using stuff like Googlepay, Applepay, etc. You can lead a horse to water ...

Capital gains tax on the dime you threw into the cardboard box of some stranger you passed appealing for donations on the street.

It's all well within the rights of the sovereign individual living in a civilized society. What is the alternative, dystopia? No thank you.

I had that wrong at first, I missed the plural verb agreement, I was thinking that's quite a lot for one women ;-)

What is the story with #77, any updates? I have neglected to keep updated on bips over the years

I used to love using joinmarket and after many iterations of rebuilding Bitcoin Core, or upgrading to newer releases, I think this was my only real use of the old school Berkeley Database (and stopped using it.)

I love this illustration and the simplicity of your guides. I think we should have a celebration for bip77 when finalized.

What's that line for sudo users, something like, With great powers comes great responsiblity.

Having a printing press must be such an inviting idea.

It's something I only heard about recently. Appreciate the explanation.

It'd be good if The Guardian wrote about the praxeology of the middle class, and how that ties into behavioural economics. Or referred to an overview of chemical physics and geological timescales to explain the perils of Christmas traditions and other quixotic, environmental health campaigns that Maoist thought leaders in the UK would like to enforce.

*Oh, Merry Christmas!

I didn't know that. Makes perfect sense now.

About ethics. There was a great post outlining a kind of attempt to boil morality or ethics down to a kind of Hegelian Dialectic, but can't remember if that SN or Nostr where I was reading it.

If something is not a physical science, I guess you mean a social science?

I can't help feel that social sciences are really what were known as humanities. Just in the same way the Human Resource used to be known as personnel.

The Guardian really has morphed into a brainwashing tool for the socialist narratives of the anti-borgeois elite. Outside of the pertinent feminism and its appeals for funding for railing against everyone that disagrees with its bullshit, the only valid use of its output is for teaching kids about what propaganda is, and how the middle-aged people in Britain, who had all of the life sucked out of them, continue to waste their talent in matters that are entirely scientifically baseless. Ethics is not science. They really need to learn to stop pretending that it is.

It's really bad that these software distros are what they are in the name of helping keep users safe. I don't find either Android nor iOS helpful, and because they form the majority of choice, the net effect is that I use phones less and less.

I'd love to see it possible to see you forensically retrieve that file. After all, it is your property, I'd think.

Cognitive control must surely be what IQ testing seeks to achieve, to a large extent. Just, as I understand it, the testing system is quite flawed.

Let me fix this article's incorrrect assumptions.

Data centers, which have high carbon footprints, form the infrastructure for all online, digital services that we use today. The many computers, servers and devices that we all use today form a significant part of the demands on all electricity grids, yet the rhetorics of inaccurate environmental policy are often employed to stiffle scientific rigor and rational debates. These energy intensive processes that utilize data centers, include for example, both the security of centralized financial systems, in addition to distributed, nascent technological systems like securing the Bitcoin protocol. Other uses may be computation used in data centers used for generative AI.

However, systems that are disruptive to more established, centralized systems are often stigmatized. Further to this, the limited role of anthropogenic carbon production in the atmosphere is unsettled in the fields of the physical and geological sciences.

I guess 91127x is suboptimal.

I never expected that.
