keeping people guessing about your “status.”

Yeah I’m a fan of this. I dress like I never outgrew the 90’s, haven’t had a haircut since covid, and fly first class a lot. It really bugs some of the snobs up there in the front of the plane.

I’ve never been into fashion in the least. I’m a quiet software dev and don’t talk to people.

I personally find it easier for non programmers to use a START:LENGTH model.

3:5 is (up to) 5 elements starting at the third.

1:1 is just the first element

Any 0 is invalid

20:2 is elements 20 and 21

It eliminates inclusive/exclusive questions.

The US has used the financial system as a weapon for decades. Freedom of Money is the only way out.

Sure if we started the whole tax thing today we may do it different. But it’s culture created over time. Our sales taxes all started during and shortly after the Great Depression in the 1920s. I’m sure store owners likely preferred people realize what they were charging vs the govts take. This is why I like it now. It’s very clear what the govt is taking and what the store is charging. It doesn’t bug me at all to have it added on at the register. It’s all I’ve known for 40 years. Currently I even live in a state with no sales tax (recently moved here), but I’m in a small tourist town that implemented a “resort sales tax” of 1% to help pay for city services related to tourism.

Voyager has been great. No notifications is a plus. Haha

I’m genuinely sorry that my words upset you.

Good day sir.

Sorry you feel that way. While I am very experienced in the field, and as such would be surprised that this snuck by me, I miss things from time to time. That’s why I asked for references.

If experience in a field isn’t an argument for being knowledgeable in the field, you’re likely hard to please.

You’re not my enemy. You’re batshit crazy, but definitely not my enemy.

What part of that is related to this? I just read it.

This is just disguised anti-Trump nonsense under a veil of bits of facts tossed around. This is the equivelant of the right claiming that Joe Biden is wearing a mask. Ppl on the fringe are crazy.

OOOFFF GOT ME

The Wikipedia in on the term debanking and what it means. Not some wild anti-Trump conspiracy to come after you.

Do you have a source for ANY of this drivel?

I was homeless for years, and have worked with homeless addicts for the last 10 years. Never in my life have I heard of these things happening for the reasons you give. Hell even to this day I don’t update a bank with my new address.

Could you provide a reliable source for more information about this actually happening to real people en masse? I have no doubt it’s happened to someone somewhere, but would be surprised if this was a real problem and I wasn’t aware.

I budget and save for it.

If I have one? Of course I have one! Everyone does nowadays!

A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up

I thought that word might bug someone.

It’s not just a distributed hash table. That’s not a trustless cache. It’s Byzantine fault tolerant. Trustless.

It combines game theory with distributed hash tables and makes them irreversible.

And yes, even satoshi himself was upset he couldn’t get the anonymity perfect. Great strides in other chains to do that, and zk stuff for confidential activity.

Look, it’s not for everyone. It’s not for you obviously. But it’s a breakthrough for sure - tech, science, whatever category you want.

It’s the first time man created a system that can’t be reverted. That’s a big deal.

I’m not an idiot that’s buying shit that rug pulls. It’s just dd. A lot of ppl like to gamble memecoins and shitcoins.

Clickhouse has a unique performance gain when you have a system that isn’t operational data that is normalized and updated often. But rather tables of timeseries data being ingested for write only.

An example, stock prices or order books in real-time. Tens of thousands per second. Clickhouse can write, merge, aggregate records really nicely.

Then selects against ordered data with aggregates are lightning fast. It has lots of nuances to learn and has really powerful capability, but only for this type of use case.

It doesn’t have atomic transactions. Updates and deletes are very poor performing.

Irreversibility is what Bitcoin brought to the table. Prior to it, nothing else has ever had that capability. It’s literally the scientific breakthrough. It’s why it holds value.

If you can’t see that value, that’s one thing. But it is there.
