I'm chopping up some LED strips for my office and I bought a 12V power supply when I need a 24V. Much sad.

I’m off to see Avatar 3 this afternoon!

I'd be interested to hear your review!

So, it's definitely a fun movie to watch. Don't expect and Oscar, and don't go down the rabbit hole of expecting great script. Just enjoy the visuals, pay attention to the nuance of the creatures and have a big popcorn and drink. I had fun, but I wasn't expecting Titanic either.

Someone made a comment regarding the fate/free will issue on this Marcus Aurelius quote on nostr and it got me thinking how I would articulate my view on this...

El traductor sólo me traduce el título no lo que escriben, no puedo leer ningún comentario, puse un traductor pero no me da la opción de traducir, debo enviarme los enlaces a Telegram, se me puso difícil la situación 😭🤯

I'm already noticing myself zapping more to control ranking more. I can't use myself as a guinea pig, but I wasn't expecting that. Still, I suspect most of us long haulers got used to relying on our trust to influence ranking.

reply

Heh.

Not to throw any shade at ~Stacker_Sports, which is totally "legitimate" and only slightly fiat thing to talk about, but I was shilling Stacker News to a friend today and telling him, "oh yeah, it's full of cypherpunk and econ and tech discussion", only for him to check it out and seeing a bunch of sports talk on the front page.

reply

I see that. It's kind of like a jukebox now. We're all at the mercy of the biggest spenders. We have to beat em or join em.

Or maybe we'll be forced to figure out a fair way to rank territories too.

reply

Zapping more is good!

en Google Translate doesn't work at the moment because to translate content it has to modify text. Our new editor doesn't allow text modifications, it reverts any edit to the content you're reading right now.

You can temporarily "fix" this by adding ?html=true at the end of the URL. This will force rendering via HTML, which lacks custom features such as popovers on mentions.

A permanent fix is doable, but I don't know yet how much it'll take. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience :(

es Google Translate no funciona actualmente porque, para traducir el contenido, debe modificar el texto. Nuestro nuevo editor no permite modificar el texto; revierte cualquier edición al contenido que estás leyendo.

Puedes "solucionar" esto temporalmente añadiendo ?html=true al final de la URL. Esto forzará la representación mediante HTML, que carece de funciones personalizadas como ventanas emergentes en las menciones.

Una solución permanente es factible, pero aún no sé cuánto tiempo llevará. Gracias y disculpen las molestias. :(

Relevant to the discussion in #1357800

reply

Literally all I did was share a paper and asked if he knew who Peter Gutmann is 😂

reply

Now it's elitism because no one wants to listen to Nic. Why is he complaining if he met with the BIP-360 team? Did they too not do what he said?

reply

carter says

I read the mailing list, all the relevant BIPs, the chaincode research, all the academic research on quantum & btc, watched the presidio presentations, met with the BIP360 team, and I referenced & engaged with all of those sources in my articles

And he still maintains "Bitcoin developers are sleepwalking toward collapse"

So he apparently thinks all the work being done on quantum is just sleepwalking? Then he gets grumpy at Back because Nic thinks "someone like myself has earned the right to be heard in Bitcoin"​

What does he expect to happen here?

reply

Wait, it's because he doesn't get a response. Someone tell sipa to get his ass on the medium comments now. It's important. /s

reply

I honestly don't know. Maybe we can put a code comment somewhere:

/*
 * The following code was inspired by Nic. Nic is not a man, he is a god, because he
 * posted about QRC on medium before we wrote this code. If you walk into Nic at a
 * VC bro hangout on the West Coast, pleasure him, preferably orally. Nic deserves it,
 * he's such a chad. You don't need to brush teeth afterwards, it's fine.

What the version?

reply

I noticed that one version was installed on one phone and another on another. 1.5 and 1.2, if I'm not mistaken.

reply

I have 1.5.1 version too installed from Google play.

Calle asked to beta test new 1.6.0 version from GitHub.

I thought maybe you've decided to check it out

reply

Thanks for sharing, I'll probably spend some time trying it out. For now, I'm still testing the version I already installed.

Is there a website where I can see the ranking of the best Bitcoin wallets? A website that's kept up to date.

I'm particularly partial to the Bitconer Guide wallet selector, but there are a number of others.

Most of these seem to include sponsorships, so I don't know how much to trust them.

reply

I'll check those websites. Thank you.

reply

What do you mean with ranking? Wallets match use-cases / user comfort level.

reply

I'm referring mainly to security issues. Secure wallets, reviewed, audited, etc.
