Some speculate that Moore was referring to natural resources when he said “The nature of exponentials is that you push them out, and eventually disaster happens.” in a 2005 interview with Techworld magazine. When I consider the "disaster" I see it applying to the availability of personal #privacy and #sovereignty. Instead of these being default in the application of this exponential growth of computational power, it has been intentionally weaponized against us. Personal privacy and sovereignty will never be default, it requires deliberate effort, time, attention and dare I say sacrifice. Moore’s Law helps explain the exponential growth we’ve witnessed in computational power due to increasing density and falling costs, over the last 50 years. #bitcoin #nostr

https://oddbean.com/ If I give you a thousand words, can you draw a picture that conveys all this information?

So long as we have a way to navigate this vast cosmos of possible technologies and zero in on promising approaches, we can obtain constant exponential growth - even in an environment where pushing the envelope and finding something more useful than the current best practice gets progressively harder. #Nostr

Come kind, come searching, come lost. Come let me find you out. Come with all your baggage mailed to our house. Come be everything you are, my love. Come love this world, come hate it too. Come undone, come falling apart. Come every age you have ever been. Come tantrum in the grocery store. Come screaming for what's sweet. Come willing to spill, willing to stain the windows of the angry church. Come nervous brave. Come tender as the trees forgiving the books for asking to be made.

ESSAYS AND APHORISMS 16 The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. - A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.

Keep up that interesting and exotic effort, shadowy super coders.

“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven #love

"Every insanely interesting person i know seems to have been completely comfortable being boring for a very long time while they investigated what exactly about their interests was interesting to them" - Molly Mielke

"Old Boomers could wreak a horrible apocalypse, and X’ers demagogues could impose a mind-numbing authoritarianism—or both." "For the Crisis to end well, X’ers must keep Boomers from wreaking needless destruction and Millennials from marching too mindlessly under their elders’ banner. They will not find it easy to restrain an older generation that will consider itself far wiser than they, and a younger one that will consider itself more deserving."

Headed for Domodossola. When people say they are going to Italy, no one means their going to Domodossola. When I say it, 98.5% of the time it means I am going to Domodossola. It's so rare infact, the last time I was checking into my accomodation there, the guy was like "You are from [redacted] why would you come to visit Domodossola?" I like places where outsiders are on the rare.

There are plenty of people who have been to war #veterans who are into #Bitcoin I don't see many openly on #Nostr Don't get me wrong, they are here, but it's kind of awesome that if they don't make themselves known, there is nothing to link them back to old profiles or other accounts that would make it obvious. Nostr is an awesome place where all can be free. If you have been to #war #peace can be found here and the work required to find it is nothing more than learning the tools. The tools of privacy are key to peace.

What is more problematic, wearing a Sparrow wallet hat (just the bird) though airports, wearing a Nostr hat to a Bitcoin conference, or attending a Bitcoin conference (no hat, just cargo pants)?

A week in central London makes me greatful to live elsewhere. No shade intended to my London peeps, but damn..... it's sort of everything I try to avoid. I was in Ottawa Canada a few times last year and I have to say, London had less zombies....

DCA and smash has been my MO, recently I have been doing equivalents. When I spend fiat, I smash #bitcoin. I haven't been able to do it for things like rent but basically everything else, especially any fiat splurges. It's an interesting experiment. I am not sure if it's actually any better, worse, or the same, but it's a thing for me now. Daily with a weekly catch-up if I realize I missed anything. It's also shown that non-kyc is hard to come by (for me) in this pattern/amounts. I need to find a Bitcoin fren who has a need for fiat sometimes so we can P2P through together. Anyone need a #bitcoinbuddy Fiat = CHF & USD

No political leader since has had the courage to reverse these changes because they create a false sense of abundance that gets them (re)elected." -Natalie Smolenski #foodstr

Acknowledging how much I don't know is comforting to me. Knowing how little of what I don't know can be learned to a level of competency with only the time I have left here is slightly unsettling. Learning how to prioritize what to learn with these constraints seems to be critical? But what blows my mind is acknowledging that much of what I do know now was learned without deliberate intention. #random #bitcoin #nostr #lifeisshort

Want to checkout "Mrs Davis" on Peacock outside the US. But apparently Proton VPN won't beat the Peacock app streaming service.... anyone have luck with other VPNs specifically for streaming Peacock? #asknostr #VPN #streaming In the past Nord VPN had worked for everything but it sucks privacy wise. Proton VPN beats all other streaming services for me. Obviously Mullvad is better for privacy which is why I don't use it for streaming accounts you have to log into.
