This superconducting material they found is extraordinary. 127C is no joke. Either it's too good to be true, or there's a larger reason for today's congressional hearing on exotic technology of non-earth origin... And Hunter Biden made another deal. https://www.iflscience.com/first-room-temperature-ambient-pressure-superconductor-achieved-claim-scientists-70001

Twitter might be able to take my username, but hell if they can take my private key

Anyway, I'm going to get a lot better about mirroring my same tweets over here on Nostr. This is a recent one I noticed I skipped. I figured I'd send it with Gossip with 24 bits of work in the note id :) With sufficiently high amounts of proof of work, the less there is a difference between energy and money.

lol, it looks like they quietly, meekly reenabled my account, again, with no explanation. It's a little wonky though, since I'm apparently not following anyone. You know, this would be a lot more upsetting to me if I didn't have Nostr 😹

So, the new X rebrand is starting off well... What's bizarre is, I keep that account professional and above-board. I have no idea why this happened. Anyway, as usual, Nostr continues to work as permissioned systems fail.

woohoo!

10 more blocks!

Just noticed, it'll be 800000 in about 6 hours! IYKYK

This is really cool!

I wonder if the aliens use money

We all do our part to make Bitcoin stronger. The protocol might be automated, but it still requires plenty of work from stakeholders. Bitcoin doesn't need you, but it's all the better with you.

Made the same tweet and nostr note. Note: 5 likes, 210 sats Tweet: 10 likes, 0 sats Plus I pay about 20k+ sats per month for Twitter, so I'm losing sats with that platform (though I've also supported plenty of paid relays, too)

Our code contains few comments, and recently that left room for ambiguity which was caught in code review. I added an assertion and error condition to catch the ambiguity, but I realized; if I had written a comment, would I have ever come to write the code to handle this error condition? Lesson: Don't comment your code, just write more code. There are lies, damn lies, and then there's documentation.

In a furry chat I started a while back, someone posted a hammer & sickle, or as I think of them, the "soviet swastika". I told them it was tasteless and the cause of much death and misery and I'd rather not have it in the chat. They pushed back, saying, hasn't the dollar done the same thing? Will you ban images of the dollar? And I thought about it for a moment, and I responded: "I'm fine with that. It's well-known that debasement of the petrodollar is used to fund the military industrial complex to fight forever wars." They weren't mad, in fact, they were impressed by my consistency. I think many a Bitcoiner would be hard-pressed to disagree with me there, either. After all, we understand better than anyone, the dollar is not synonymous with the practice of capitalism. In many ways, becoming a Bitcoiner lends a sense of perspective that transcends traditional politics. That said, if you want to add a new opcode to Core, things might get a little contentious.

I had a very @Lyn Alden thought just now... I just think it's interesting that W2 employment came about in order to fight wars and reduce inflation caused by deficit spending.

Current Tax Payment Act of 1943 - Wikipedia

And here we have the war, record deficit spending, more funding to the IRS, increased financial surveillance, FedNow, and CBDCs. History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
