Yes. I also sometimes use phone zoom to read small text when I'm too lazy to get my glasses or bring the text to proper lighting.

Yeah, after the surprise, I realized it was probably just a link preview issue and I clicked the link. I'm not sure where to file an issue. I was using Amethyst but I assume it was just fairhfully rendering maps dot google dot com. Google was just displaying its default, which is my current location. I'm guessing its just a quirk that I'll have to get used to.

Was super creeped out for a moment. My nostr client showed me a Google maps preview for your link, but rather than showing me the location you pinned, the preview showed my current location. It looked like you were either doxing me or staying in the AirBnB next door.

I used to have an air gapped master key with a hot subkey that I used for everything besides key attestation. In that setup, dealing with any sort of tooling was a nightmare, so I gave up on it.

The filesystem is itself a single file.

What's the name for the emotion when you ask it to do something and then come back later to discover it wrecked things and you forgot to git commit the previous improvements?

(That makes me wonder if I could set up an every minute cronjob to create btrfs snapshots or something.)

What does "global liquidity valve" mean? Is it something like: when people have excess cash, they buy bitcoin; when they need cash, they sell bitcoin?

Lol

For Mastering Bitcoin, the publisher wanted to go with Bitcoin-the-network and bitcoin-the-currency. I was fine with that, as its what I normally used, but I discovered when working with the non-Bitcoiner editor and proofreaders that they had a hard time guessing which was which. I got a lot of queries about whether I really meant to use caps (or vice versa for lowercase), especially since I did occasionally use the wrong case. Next time I work with normies, I'll probably ask to just use common noun casing throughout.

I think that's kind of an interesting dynamic. One one hand, if you have >50% of hash rate in the US, then you have a ~$5 billion/yr industry that at least some politicians are going to want to keep happy. On the other hand, if the censorship is egregious, either the value of BTC is going to drop (contracting the industry) or some users are going to switch to a new PoW function (possibly decimating the industry). It's kind of the same dynamic you get from regulating industry in general, e.g. raising local minimum wage, but the feedback loop in Bitcoin is currently much faster than most industries, so the same politician who's in power when the problem is created is likely to still be in power when the problem manifests.
