I decided I'm going back to real books.

That is the ultimate chad move.

I only still lean on my aging kindle because we're nomads and books can't compete on weight.

Don't think I've read Anathem yet... Goes onto the list.

a kindle that is so old Amazon stopped supporting it

Same here (old paperwhite.)

But I jailbroke mine a while ago and downloaded the books the moment they announced they'd disable that option, then converted them to epubs.

Did you read the Baroque Cycle?

While Stephenson wrote those books later as a prequel series to Cryptonomicon, I started there and it made me appreciate Cryptonomicon even more as I was already invested in several of the main characters' ancestry and their stories.
Also helped by the Baroque Cycle stories being super entertaining by themselves.

But if you don't like his style of storytelling, I doubt you'll enjoy those.

Love the book. One of my all time favs.

It's not pure gibberish btw. That encryption algorithm actually exists and will be revealed later in the story. There are also more details in an addendum iirc.

He also got away with only a warning for a foul that others have seen a red card for.

Not hating on Messi at all. But it would've looked very differently had he been sent off after ~30 minutes.

Policymakers could instead consider comprehensive digital literacy education in schools or stronger platform regulation to improve content moderation and safety features for younger users.

"Let's add more propaganda to young people's lives" isn't the answer. Neither is more regulation. If that's what they wanted, they'd prefer mainstream media to begin with.

This has to be the first time ever Donald said anything stupid.

I'd like to see more continental variety in the semis. Getting bored of the classic mix of European heavyweights, plus Brazil and/or Argentina.

I'd be up for some outrageous combo like Senegal, Japan, Ecuador, Belgium or similar. As unrealistic as it is.

In which ways is this superior to having 3 geographically distributed keys?

Instead of bad_person™ needing to compromise 2/3 of my locations before, they now need to either compromise 2/2 locations, or 1/2 locations and finess (read: social engineer, hack) their way into you giving up one key, or 1/2 locations and the swipe my password that I'd need to get the custodied key.

So there's got to be some promised advantage since I'm still required to enact very good opsec for the remaining keys.

I'll try to catch up, but no promises.
Between traveling and programming workshops, I'm not sure if I'll muster enough stamina to catch up from a week down.

But I do have the epub ready, waiting to be put on my reader. Might as well bring that forward.

I think I kinda get it.

I don't understand why authors try so darn hard to come up with a novel declaration when there are perfectly good ones out there. (Selective revelation is my preferred one.)
So there's only so much try-harding I can stomach before I ask myself if there's enough signal making it worth it to work through that stuff.

Having said all that, the domination bit does kinda make sense in the context of the OODA loop that Hillebrand keeps referring to, if the goal of a group applying it is to dominate the observed group.
In isolation without prior knowledge, though, I'd have reacted very similarly.

I mean, it's only half communist. Coming from Bernie, I guess that's progress?

What freedom are you after?

I was thinking in terms of being able to transact in a permissionless way.

Plenty of shitcoins take that route. You be the judge if the freedom they provide is valuable enough to you to use them.

And if capital gains stop you from spending, you have too much fiat exposure.

Purchasing power has to go up over time.

As long as fiat, in which I suspect you are measuring go uppiness, always loses purchasing power, the answer is yes.

Like that time when a guy with an orange tie's company sold bitcoin for the second time in their history, and everyone seemed to lose their shit?

impostriches... everywhere.

... like, three wordplays in a single headline.

And I'm so far out of the loop, I missed about four of them.

This is the second time I heard the word SATA in conjunction with something-something Bitcoin, and all that comes to mind is a hard drive.

Likely October, otherwise November.

We're looking at returning in September, a bit earlier than initially planned.
In that case, I'd publish the next update early October. If not, it'll be November.

Then it clearly must be hate speech to call it being in one. I am shocked you dare defame them in public.
