The shipping is very expensive compared to the price of the beans.

The upper bound is 170M as that's the size of the current UTXO set. Now many people control keys to more than one UTXO (often they control hundreds) and then of course exchanges own many of those, so the upper bound on actual folks self custodying is much smaller. My guess would be that the actual number is somewhere between 1M and 10M worldwide.

Meme is by definition something that's shared, copied, modified. Maybe you are thinking of "a picture"?

Put differently - sharing, copying and modifying is what causes a picture to become meme.

On Linux try OpenTyrian, OpenTTD as two fun oldschool games. Otherwise you can install RetroArch and play any older game across any console.

^^ @ek - bug report - the parser should not replace the npub with njump link in a situation where the npub is a part of an URL.

The Android based game handhelds (like Retroid Pocket 5) are essentially a combination of a phone and game console. It has the best from both worlds and I really appreciate those, since it runs literally all games ever done up to Playstation 2... :)

In terms of smartphone gaming, "Retry!" from Rovio is my favorite game on smartphone that you can no longer get. There are ways to get the .apk (I have it), but it's no longer on app stores. If there's anyone that beat Retry!, I would love to be your friend!

It's hard to imagine what the situation will look like 20 years from now for the kids...

Last time I tried using Fountain, the feature that was quite hard to use was listening to podcasts...

I just want to have couple podcasts I follow, see their episodes and then download the episodes I select and later when I'm on a flight I want to listen to those, while being able to skip ads quickly.

I keep an eye on solutions like this with a hope that it can provide

I learned English by binge watching shows like Family Guy without subtitles, so I can confirm 😄

Since you have a product director experience - What are the main objectives that you are trying to go for with your current work and what metrics do you use to understand how well you are doing? :)

Do you have any connection to that work or is that outside of your scope?

When are the Square Point-of-Sale terminals going to allow payment with lightning in San Francisco? What is currently the biggest blocker? Has the test at bitcoin conference been successful? Do you have any video of the experience?

Does Non-EU include Ukraine? (No source posted, so hard to verify)

People in Europe in the 90s in general didn't have access to gaming consoles, so the most gaming was happening on PCs (because everyone got PC from some office job). And so the knockoffs were actually a thing that was played. I remember Wacky Wheels 🙂

Some people like to push and it doesn't matter to them what they push.

I mean the inflation/deflation of prices that the individual perceives. E.g. the expensive things that you want to buy - did these get more expensive or cheaper over the last month? That's your individual inflation...

Monetary inflation number sort of becomes meaningless when we know the full supply. Cool to see though.

I think it's much more interesting to think about individual inflation. What was your inflation last year can be a very different number from mine.

Yeah, I use lightning quite often and onchain only very rarely.

That sounds like a good plan. And do you have window/door just in the front or are there other "vents". My main questions are around the inner home humidity and the roof beams eventually rotting. It will still outlive you, I'm just asking by how many years 😅
