Inventor of the word “spywall”. Proof: https://damus.io/note1crepuk77r7dxpugv8vqh5de8xnatxlu2rmztxd70nuhs686pdfssw28plm I do bitcoin stuff. Heard about Bitcoin in 2011. Didn’t act on it until years later. 😅

Saw the new Snow White movie recently. I wonder if the CGI face of Grumpy which is clearly based on Tommy Lee Jones’ face, earned him a nice fee?

In terms of inflation, a 1917 dollar is currently worth about $23. If you had bought a dollar of gold in 1917 instead of this dollar, it’d be worth $83. As a collector’s item sold on eBay, this is worth $80-$250. If you take it to a mint, treasury office, or bank, they’ll give you $1. image

If we wanted to digitize all ancient texts, what would it take? How many are there? Starting at the beginning of written history ~5,200 years ago to ~2,000 years ago, how many texts do we have from each millenia or century? Are they accessible to be digitized? What about earlier symbols and similar potential communication? For example, caves sometimes have marks that seems to have some symbolic meaning, such as slashes that seem like counts. How many are there to digitize? I'm curious about the scale of it.
