Cannot believe people still struggle to accept that Earth has volume. Does the edge of your flat earth work like the edge of a Pac-Man game? Like all celestial bodies, Earth is a donut, it's just basic math nerds..

Cannot wait to dig into the specificities of this case. First chance to get data on the potential risks introduced via the added programmatic complexity needed for proof of stake validation. Chance to study how a bloated code base can effect the potential attack surface for Blockchain systems.

Am I the only one who feels bad for Sam Bankman-Fried?

He was subjected to an excessive level of persecution. A scapegoat by a mob for the consequence of their own failure to research investments they staked their finances on.

He made mistakes, but they were not worth decades of his life.

Science is less facts of reality, and more game guides&cheat codes.

A God can never be certain they are more than a convincing God simulation.

Any greater intelligence than human would see the futility of imperialism.

In the game Diplomacy, Meta AI model Cicero was able to score twice that of an average player just by not lying.

One really needs to grasp this before anything else about #Bitcoin & cryptocurrency.
No more than a blog article.
Fundamental for why any of it works.
Nine pages total. Half is diagrams, the last is only references. More theoretical than technical; doesn't take a mathematician to really grasp.

In data by the CDC, there is no validation of psychostimulants causing any more harm than caffeine.
Adderall, meth even, are safe compared to binging Red Bull or coffee.
We need OTC options to combat the real health crisis. Combined, drug/alcohol related deaths are 1/8th that from heart disease.

Not everyone is aware of the link between caffeine and anxiety. I found out the hard way.

@tagu.fr Seems you have found my secret alter ego as a hit popstar. Credit to your OSINT prowess. It should be known I will hand the work to a successor for no more than the value of an 8th of weed, like those who played the role before me.

Don't listen to all the macro analysis if you want to invest in Bitcoin, read the white paper.
It's no longer than a typical article, and is all you really need to understand.
Declined values of NASDAQ miners are probably cause their returns are about to cut in half. Wouldn't call that unexpected.

Whoever named the Intel fab right outside Columbus, but it is genius. I'm not even sure that Intel gets it.

Like a first-hand account from HP of the conference.
In human, 'criminal plague' translates to 'market competition'.
As witnessed with recent printers, these 'protections' will make no distinction between enterprise, and consumer hardware.
Like mattresses that ignite if the safety tag rips off.
'Self-destruct' chips could help combat a criminal plague that costs businesses billions every year — new technique could mitigate counterfeiting through electromigration
If compromised the chips can commit circuit suicide

How can administrators still not see the futility in these halfhearted firewall systems.
Ten years back when I was in school it was common to use Tor to pass blocks.
Most delinquents nowadays don't even know these apps. Telegram suits them just fine.
Your kids know the systems better than you.

BTC sharply dip in short term. Hash rate will drop from the halving, as miners are priced out & and use the FOMO to sell BTC above value. They need liquidity & demand will shortly outpace supply. Once the difficulty adjusts the opposite will be true shedding a good bit before the bull run starts.

Something like this will flood your feeds over the year, I urge those curious about entering the market to not invest without knowing the basics. Watch this at least, it's an introduction for beginners from a neutral perspective. Teacher is even the current Chairman of the SEC youtu.be/EH6vE97qIP4

Can't believe this still needs saying, but Bitcoin might be the best thing to clean energy advancement in years. Halvings price out a large share of mining operations, second hand miners flood the market. Energy companies don't depend on mining revenue so any return on wasted production adds value.

Fear of zombies must end, the media shows the depth of this prejudice.

We fear zombies because we fear ourselves.

We're already zombies, we forgot our true adversary, the Sun Vampires. Using weed to deceive us.

I can see the ancient old guard of the music industry have learned nothing the past decades.
Tiktok doesn't need the UMG approval to be successful, on the other hand you managed to cut off perhaps the only platform more influential than YouTube to your business. 👏🤡

I fear of a day when the discourse surrounding computers, and the AR-15 have become indistinguishable.
Conflating tools of creation, with tools of destruction.

The scope of Data Science extends beyond the confines of Computer Science. Data is the very essence of entropy, a fundamental law.

AI serves as a testament to data's autonomous nature, a veritable space unto itself.

To comprehend the physical universe, Data Physics stands as the ultimate frontier.
