The results actually say 51% of the unvaccinated, and 9% of vaccinated, think vaccines have microchips in them, pulling the overall number to 20%. Obviously, this is wrong, if you have any common sense at all. Stupid questions deserve stupi

It's a fair comment, and I had to reflect on why it seemed bad to me, when I've done much worse commutes on a bus for a software job. I guess it's that you're supposed to be there for a passion, but you're in snow g

Spent last summer there in Ketchum, aka Sun Valley, during the pandemic. An absolutely beautiful place to be, but I heard the same thing many times. The lifties at the ski mountain have to bus in 30 minutes from the nearby town Hailey every

I'm aware of that argument. The counter-argument goes that at scale, larger blocks would bring in more businesses, more miners, and more competition, and that competition is what actually protects the chain from bad actors who might tr

For anyone interested in the saga, Stefan Matthews, who worked with Craig Wright in 2007 and 2008 before Bitcoin was released, gave a couple interviews this past week adding new flavor to the story [1] [2]. [1] https://www.youtub

Years ago, there was a presentation [1] by Peter Rizun of Bitcoin Unlimited at Stanford that demonstrated ~100TPS on Bitcoin, and the potential for 1000+ TPS if certain bottlenecks were removed. People said the same thing you're saying

Yes, more-or-less, but that how it is designed to work. The most reliable way to get a transaction into a block is to send it directly to a miner or set of miners. Apps on BSV do this today via MAPI REST endpoints, similar to how this test

To expand on this, to receive money over Lightning, you need someone else to lock up their bitcoins for you. This is called inbound liquidity, and the problem of users getting inbound liquidity is no joke. Lightning Labs recently launched L

So-called heretics have been scaling Bitcoin in spite of BTC's braindead decisions. Last week, 50K TPS were demonstrated publicly on Bitcoin SV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3As9-9uSXs . More privately.

Excuse you. I assume people here are intelligent and will do their own research. Other entrepreneurs shared this with me, and I'm grateful.

Also if you think you may have low T levels, give Fenugreek a try which is a natural booster. You can pick it up at Walmart. https://bestlowthelp.com/fenugreek-health-benefits-men-testo...

What is this slander? That is a completely separate topic, one which wikipedia cannot do justice in a paragraph, and neither can you. Second, the tweet is about Brett's censored video, not Eric. Watch the video.

Funny. I felt the exact same about college classes as wfh. 90% of the time, classes were unnecessary, and I could do the readings and exercises on my own to learn the material better. Everyone also said office hours were so great, but I alw

Close. Bitcoin is a concept for a system - described in a whitepaper and in forum posts, and expressed in an initial release. BTC would prefer you think they alone are Bitcoin, but is the Catholic Church alone Christianity? Certainly not. B

I agree that BTC has terrible privacy. But this is a BTC problem, not a Bitcoin problem. A smart Bitcoin wallet would not reuse addresses across transactions, and would split your coins into many fragments, making them virtually impossible

A slight tangent, but it's amazing what the human mind can do in the background. We've all had this experience driving - an amazingly complex task - where you get to your destination you forget how you got there. Well, the best fr

There's something romantic about a long road trip, unbroken and unplanned. Call it an outlier experience, but everyone should have one once. It's American to the core. You get in the seat and head out, first watching the familiar

The parts of the US with the highest rates of homelessness tend to be the least Christian, and vice versa. Make of that what you will. https://i.ibb.co/KVpHXPF/datamap.png

There is an app called Twetch which is basically Twitter on the blockchain with money. Recently, I wanted to share someone's feed to a friend, but Twetch requires you to login, and that friend didn't have an account. I then rememb

I went with a Thinkpad over a Macbook a couple years ago exactly for these goals - repairability and modularity - so this looks pretty amazing to me. Especially the modular ports. That said, the lack of a discrete GPU makes this a no-go for

That's right. Yet I just listened to CNBC report Robinhood stopped trading on Gamestop to prevent people from selling . An honest mistake I'm sure.

It looks to me like he's describing a trend he disagrees with. Nobody would describe their own vision as "tyrannical".

Bitcoin's creator thought the block size should be raised and nodes would end up in server farms. Whether you agree with this or not, that was the original vision of Bitcoin. Now, start-ups pivot, and it's great that there are exp

Humans are creativity machines. We are always expanding the amount of value there is in the world. The only way to have stable prices is to have a currency that inflates to match the amount of new stuff created. But do we really want stable

Yes, something like that. Users could pay extra fees for their transactions to be part of L2 consensus and to be loadable by light clients. If they don't pay, the event is still recorded on-chain, so apps and services they trust can st

In order to have stuff that can be passed around, whether digitally or physically, people have to agree on who owns what, in what state, and where it is. In the real world, government and physics basically do this for us. In the digital w

What the Internet lacks is consensus, or a source of truth. It's especially true for assets that evolve over time. There's no place to say "I did X" with my item in a way every other app agrees happened, without relying
