Maybe stock exchanges could take a gradual approach to round-the-clock trading. Widen the daily trading window by 2 hours, and see if it runs smoothly for a year. Try to get major exchanges around the globe to reach higher overlap. Repeat this process until we've covered the whole clock.

Roger Ver was just arrested on charges of not paying exit taxes on his bitcoin holdings when he renounced his US citizenship 10 years ago. The tax monster is never satisfied.

Interesting piece; could be refined into a more solid argument for L2 scaling.

Solana is Cryptoeconomic Socialism

Most people still don’t understand that the fundamental question of scaling isn’t technical, it’s philosophical.

I just found out that Bitcoin Magazine Pro exists. Kind of like a Bloomberg subscription, focused on BTC?

Vancouver has dozens of recently updated vendors on BTCMap. Seattle has a handful, most of which have not been checked in years. The US needs to catch up on retail BTC adoption pronto.

I bought a used 3D printer. No auto-leveling. The motherboard is 8-bit and the servos make awful noises. Still, I'm excited.

The design process for Raku/Perl 6 took 15 years. Nobody uses it. JavaScript was designed in 10 days. It's used by about a million developers. Effort is not always proportional to reward.

Apple sucks, guys. It's not a question of whether it will screw you over, but when.

I should have actually committed to learning Rust a while ago. The momentum behind it is too strong to ignore now: the language has mostly matured, big companies are using it, and the technical advantages are apparent.

Rust is not the final evolution of programming languages. But it did do something great: "introduced using the type system to enforce rules on resource usage into the mainstream." I was just thinking about how linear types might help with this the other day, so I am pleasantly surprised to see a new project like Austral making it a reality.
