Strudel is had (and always has been had) with whipped heavy cream. There is no pork fat involved.

it does not sell you language learning.
it seels you the idea of language learning.

Ever lived in a country that has shops closed on Sundays?
It‘s remarkably calm and peacful. People go into nature, take walks and just enjoy life without buying things.

i never understood why they don't build something themselves, rather than build useless powerpoints.

how is it possible that so much compute fits in such a small space and still runs efficiently enough to stay powered for hours?
that is stuff i have not heard of at all before. thanks for writing it up.

I think you are wrong about Russia. It is commonly exaggerated in terms of economic capability. Corruption is rampant and industry is decades behind.
Also the U.S. is quite powerful and will stay that way for some time. Even if there is some cultural turmoil going on.

The newest interstellar object has been named A11pI3Z.
Pronounced: “All Please.”
As in:
“How much of Earth’s water, metal, and innocence would you like?”
“All, please.”

5 years ago the current German Vice Chancellor Habeck predicted the downfall of German industrialism and strong need to act.
Now his prediction is coming true and everyone is in „shock“ that VW is firing thousands.
We need eu/acc yesterday! @euacchq
Erschreckend wie klar Habeck am 26.9.2019 die Situation von VW und Co. vorhersieht und richtige Lösungen vorschlägt (die nicht umgesetzt werden), und absurd, dass heute einige ausgerechnet ihm die Krise anhängen wollen.

vienna 🇦🇹 and i‘m biased, but it‘s pretty great.
else i‘d say many mid-sized cities in the netherlands 🇳🇱, copenhagen 🇩🇰 and any random island in greece 🇬🇷 if you can deal with some solitude, your thoughts and a starlink connection.

Black holes are most likely heavily romantisized by sci-fi. Get too close and you will be ripped apart by gravitational forces and high heat of matter zipping around.
The information might be preserved, but it might be burned/atomized until it reaches the event horizon 💥

i forget who the quote is from but:
> do you want to become a millionaire? great - do something boring really well.
> do you want to become a billionaire? prepare to build something completely new with a slim chance of success.

there is an entire grant application industry, in case you did not know.
companies with dozens of employees only writing grants and taking a significant cut (5-15%) of final payout.
mind you, they don‘t care if there is anything of substance - it‘s just make believe 🪄✨

your travel eSIM may act as a chinese vpn/proxy.
researchers bought a holafly eSIM in europe. traceroute showed all traffic detouring through china mobile.
suddenly, your iphone looks like it’s in beijing.

so far a few bugs i’ve hit:
> new user joins grid, DMs someone - “new msg” pops up but no name in list
> blocking fails (“not found / unable to verify identity”)
> key exchange broken - encryption unusable
> unencrypted comms send with no warning
> DMs between mesh & grid are separate - can’t continue 1:1 chat later

Excuse me? That is just wrong. I have (luckily) used a dummy email so I can be 100% certain where it is from when I get spam: This is from your shop.ledger.com hack. This communication is a disgrace!

i am generally a big fan of solar but even i have to admit that this is very misleading.
energy potential of fossil fuels and output over 15-20yrs of lifetime is a very different thing.

its a messenger that works over bluetooth as well as the web.
you can for example message your friend on the same airplane or while cave exploring.

is it the same with hedge fund guys secretly owning ETFs?

i hate that trauma seems to be such a good predictor of the tail ends of the "success" bell curve.

i kid you not, I JUST GOT A PHANTOM AD FROM CHATGPT 😳
in the car with my gf brainstorming with ChatGPT advanced voice mode on holiday destinations and food in south america. when the „normal“ answer was done there was an audible shift in tone.
it started making the case for a special dish that involves baby cow in fermented milk beer which „… you must try. go to fermentedbabycowbeer.com“
when it was done i started laughing, Xed out if the voice mode and wanted to read the trippy answer again, but it was not there.
i prompted to repeat the answer with some of the keywords used but chatgpt totally gaslight me, saying „that sounds pretty wild“.
not gonna lie. this was very very strange and even if it‘s just a harmless bug it foreshadows where AI might go with untracable comments and gaslighting.

highly unlikely that this was an accident.

honest question: how can it be bitcoin if it requires trust, is not decentralised, actual real-world usage is custodial and does not scale to 8b users?

he apologised. fair play.
so this was my bad. someone on the team DID internally file this.
it's since been taken down; i apologize and have no excuses; it shouldn't have been done. from the start.
let me know if you'd like this thread deleted @jackhcable.
happy to compensate u for the trouble if u dm

Jamming GPS does not make a plane crash like this. Most landings of commercial airliners are done manually by the pilot anyway.

The most infuriating part for me is that I would love a great debate. It is so fun to hear two well-informed, well-meaning people argue points in their own way.
But fact is, @Graham__Hancock was just not prepared enough and thought he‘d score with emotional arguments. Sad.

probably one of these things where the people using it are either secret squirrel, organized crime or the coolest folks ever.

same thing with ledger and their hack back a few years ago.
but what‘s the alternative? using a hardware wallet still is by far safer than anything else.
