My doctor prescribed a nail polish to combat toenail fungus, which is unsightly but otherwise not a big deal. After applying it every day for a year, there were no noticeable changes. So I went to my favorite LLM and described the problem. It pointed me to an over the counter product. 1 month later and the fungus is no longer among us. We've been warned for years not to diagnose ourselves via online resources, but now I'm not so sure...

I'm getting so good at chatting with social engineers that one of them called me back the next day just to shoot the shit. 😏

Just spent 10 minutes on the phone with a Google social engineer, recorded the whole thing. It may be a holiday for us, but attackers love to strike on holidays when our guards are down!

If you wish to actively fight against arbitrary data being embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain then you need to impose a regime of arbitrary rules that are reactive to each new use of the protocol that is considered Haram. I think the conflict can be distilled down to a single trade-off: would you rather have a Bitcoin with arbitrary data or a Bitcoin with arbitrary rules?

That feeling when you return from a long trip to discover the distinct odor of a decomposing corpse in the house and you gear up for a game of "find the smell."
