November 1944. Look at what the Red Cross said. But you know, six million.

A pedophile, a liar, fat, ugly, without honor, without dignity—he’s got it all. There are some things money can’t buy.

Spain has recorded 2.9 million abortions since 1986, with 291 per day in 2024. Thirty-eight percent of abortions in the last decade were performed on women who had previously had an abortion. The government has now announced that it will enshrine this as a “constitutional right.” Abortion is the true holocaust that no one talks about—millions and millions of human beings murdered across the globe.

Greg Maxwell Adding new signature schemes to bitcoin is relatively trivial and has been done previously (today Bitcoin supports both schnorr and ecdsa signatures). Existing PQ standards have signatures with the wrong efficiency tradeoffs for usage in Bitcoin-- large signatures that are durable against a lot of use and supports fast signing, while for Bitcoin signature+key size is critical, keys should be close to single use, and signing time is irrelevant. To the extent that I've seen any opposition related to this isn't only been in related to schemes that were to inefficient or related to proposals to confiscate the assets of people not adopting the proponent's scheme (which immediately raises concerns about backdoors and consent). There is active development for PQ signature standards tailored to Bitcoin's needs, e.g. https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/shrimps-2-5-kb-post-quantum-sig... and I think progress looks pretty reasonable. Claims that there is no development are as far as I can tell are just backscatter from a massive fraud scheme that is ongoing (actually, at least two distinct cons with an almost identical script). There are criminal fraudsters out seeking investments in a scheme to raise money to build a quantum computer and steal Bitcoins. One of them reportedly has raised funds approaching a substantial fraction of a billion dollars from victims. For every one sucker they convince to give them money, they probably create 99 others people panicked about it (since believing it'll work is a pre-req to handing over your money).

By @PiusSprenger I ran 1,000 random DCA simulations to purchase Bitcoin, starting exactly when Saylor began his Bitcoin reserve strategy. All 1,000 DCA paths are profitable… while Saylor is currently sitting on a loss. How is this possible? Saylor has a negative convex trading position—something every Wall Street trader avoids like the devil avoids holy water. When Strategy’s shares are strong and the premium is wide, the company issues equity to buy Bitcoin—typically when prices are already high. Now, he’s issuing a high-yield credit instrument (STRC) to buy more Bitcoin. Does this improve the convexity profile? I’m not entirely sure.

This is the pilot rescued by the U.S. It was all a lie—he wasn't even rescued. He traveled from Iran to Texas on his own, punching the air to propel himself forward.

Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) During three U.S. Apollo missions (11, 14, and 15) and two unmanned Soviet missions (Luna 17 and Luna 21), retro-reflectors were deployed near the landing sites between 1969 and 1973 (Figure 1). The LLR experiment has continuously provided range data for about 41 years, generating about 17000 normal points (Figure 2). The main benefit of this space geodetic technique is the determination of a host of parameters describing lunar ephemeris, lunar physics, the Moon’s interior, various reference frames, Earth orientation parameters and the Earth-Moon dynamics [2, 4]. LLR has also become one of the strongest tools for testing Einstein's theory of general relativity in the solar system; no violations of general relativity have been found so far [1,3, 4]. However, the basis for all scientific analyses is more high quality data from a well-distributed global LLR network. https://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/scienceContributions/lunar.html

I'm one of those who believes that man went to the moon, and I think this photo from the Artemis II mission is spectacular. I wish there were more money for space exploration and less money for wars.

Ferrari 288 GTO This is the most beautiful Ferrari ever made. I don't get the design of the new supercar models—they all look like a cross between a Lamborghini Diablo and a Transformer.

Buenos días!

This idiot has a bachelor's degree in philosophy from the University of St Andrews and a master's degree in finance and investment from the University of Edinburgh. He probably doesn't even know how to format a computer, yet here he is giving his opinion on quantum computing. It's laughable—the CIA should hire better actors. View quoted note →
