Just realized that I forgot to replenish my emergency butter stash last time I raided it. Not good.

I wonder what's more important in today's world, assuming you have a 5-year time horizon and just plan to figure out what's next after that
A. Ability to raise capital B. Ability to deliver product

Historically, if you could deliver product, raising capital is easy, and delivering product is hard whether you had money or not.
As machines get smarter, delivering product should get easier. At the limit, delivering product will amount to transferring money to some machine process that delivers product. At that point, product outcomes differ only as far as the abilities of the machine process that capital raisers have access to differ (assuming product delivery isn't a true commodity). So imo the only thing that changes as we approach the limit is what it means to deliver product and the ability to deliver product will always be more important until it's a true commodity.
So I'd ask, what will delivering product look like in five years? Meaning what skills should someone develop other than capital raising that will help them deliver product best?

Cutting back on using stacker news at work. If my posts and engagement are down it’s because I’m trying to focus at work for a change and limit my phone addiction

We do not maintain a redundant store of unspent outputs. We just store the chain, which includes everything necessary to validate. We split the process into 4 major loosely-coupled phases: (1) headers, (2) blocks, (3) validate, (4) confirm. Headers and Confirm organize blocks into a "chain" and are thus totally ordered. Blocks are downloaded fully in parallel given a stronger candidate chain. Validation is performed fully in parallel given a contiguous set of downloaded blocks. Confirmation is sequential for validated blocks. Milestone bypasses unnecessary checks in the validation/confirmation phases given the presumption of a previously-validated header chain.

I love it. I may come here from time to time to rest my cowboy hat, assuming I still have one. How do I keep losing it? Am I leaving it somewhere?

Yet 12-year-olds in Singapore are expected to know these subtle differences. Many consider English as their native language even though we speak horrible English known as Singlish haha

quirky, but eccentric is okay, too. give us 15 years and weird might work.

Thank you for responding!
I get the idea that eccentric is used to describe people’s old habits.
(of a person or their behaviour) unconventional and slightly strange
reply

eccentric definitely has an "odd" flavor, but it's sometimes positive as in "unique." quirky is mostly positive and more lighthearted.

Yes! there's maybe an edge to the uniqueness but it's mostly positive.

![Hieronymus Bosch](https://m.stacker.news/71389)
This is last JABBB to be published for now, due to the lack of engagement. Has been fun, for me at least, to dig into the ideas behind each one of these stickers. It allowed me to learn more about bitcoin and western culture. Thanks @spiral.
There're still over 40k sats up for grab on previous bounties, enjoy.
