Every “debate” “free speech” group on Facebook eventually devolved to a Nazi hangout and kicked me out for being too left wing. Everything left wing group got sucked.

It’s a shithole unfortunately

Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball-sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbor’s dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot, “Tally ho lads” the grapeshot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

Just where they are manufactured

Yes, as far as I understand it. No you create a mutisignature wallet first that holds the funds that can be moved around the layer 2 network.

On chain makes more sense for this application to me too

For sure. It was embarrassing at the time but I was young

Layer 2 networks like the lightning network operated in the milliseconds time frame.

I miss when they were just a goofy cult too

To be honest my fake girls friend was just a girl I had a crush on how lived a few cities away. I got busted lmao

Right? Like isn’t this just a different algorithm at the end of the day? This just has an organic (as in a part of the design) way to skip parts of the equation with pressumed constants.

Imperial ambitions? /s

Honestly. I agree. A big issue the US has with “industrial policy” type of deals in general is this. Big businesses can afford to have specialists to get access to programs and programs can “accomplish” their budgets goals faster with these bigger deals. The COVID small business loans had the same issue.

Also supply side money funnels are popular with donors/lobbyists (for obvious reasons) but are almost always garbage. Demand side (upfront funding for some needed thing, and payments for fulfillment) are still possible for to fuck up but do WAY better.

I can accept that hospitals in US are motivated purely by the desire to separate cash from hands but to deny lawsuits is unAmerican.

More so both are factors towards onshoring happening. Same with PVs and batteries. Though Trump’s other policy undermind a lot of that progress as well.

The CHIPs act also favored union work and even funneled some money to worker owned shops. That so far seemed to be toothless in keeping this admin aligned there

That was the biggest failure so far. The other ones seem to be smaller

This is unironivally what switch my dual boot to just linux. Drive was failing. ext4 on linux handled it no hicups, windows crashed hard nevet came back.

Its crazy that this is the only sane option mentioned in this thread. Like its not a reasonable justification because the insane low trust situatuin we are in and no attempts to mitigate risks being heavily advertised first.

I think Mozilla’s controversial “Deplatforming is not enough” lays out a better strategy for “the algorithm” problem to me.

Having big tech be able to work in secret to pick anf choose what content isnt allowed and then being super charged by the state to do it for them as well just doesnt sit well with me

Motivation is powetful influence on devolopment. The linux kernel is largley driven by UX and desire for technical excellence (there are ultier motive from some major factions but overall this is true and actions are judged publically as such).

Microsoft is, like most companies, driven by stockholder value creation.

One produces an enviroment in which cautious adoption of new tech is constant, a slow trickle for use where it seems most applicable.

The other demands that the perception of exclusive capital be created through vertical intergration with propritary IP and that the promise of cost reductions are underway. Aka Microslop trying to add a buzz word to every IP (percieved capital creation) and promising massive layoffs.

Nice
