His abrupt silence mid-conversation with a handful of people via email and on the main Bitcoin forum also leads me to believe he's no longer with us. Code is often written like speech where one can decipher different voices in its writ

> "It enables micropayments directly in the HTTP layer" VERY cool! This is the perfect use of micropayments that far exceeds that of traditional fiat and credit vehicles.

Credit cards aren't big on tiny transactions, but I'm sure any payment method could work.

Bitcoin bro here. Very cool! I'm working on something pushing the bare minimum too. Even minimaler if you could smash all the Javascript into the `onkeydown` and other "content attributes"[0] so there's not even a `<s

Maybe, but the AI we see in the mainstream today -- generative image/video/text creations and Large Language Model chatbots -- were done via non-governmental public and private companies. And a lot of the work hitting the scene lo

Just like any stonk that's increased in value, woulda coulda shoulda. Keep an eye out for things that you care about and things you think other people will care about, and invest in those.

I did find my passport at that same time and threw a lot more USD at it. It's nice.

Regular stonks are incredibly flawed, or whatever you want to call it, and the general public gambles on them as "the next big thing". None of that is unique to BTC, albeit more extreme with BTC. One should look at a potential inv

Since I've been in it, this has happened in: - early 2018 - March 2020 - Summer 2021 - Summer 2022 - mildly in Q1 2025 - now in early 2026 This has never happened before!

That "Dead Internet" phrase keeps becoming more likely, and this graph shows that. Human-to-human interactions, LLMs using those interactions, less human-to-human interactions because of that, LLMs using... ?

I got 1.5 extra test time. I would have never graduated otherwise. I didn't use it my senior year though. To this day, I read slower than most, I have to reread things when others don't need to. Intelligence and having learning di

And anyone can become a miner. It's not reasonable on small rigs because there are so many miners now, but if most of them leave, then the common man can get back in to mining.

The lesson is to gamble on things that are either a) fun like btc, or b) you personally see it as a viable product in the future.

CNBC told me the economy is doing great. My neighbor is borrowing money from me. My friend is borrowing money from me. GoFundMe is becoming more for basic needs. Everything is becoming more expensive often for no reason. According to every

Web components, copy/paste CSS that does crazy stuff, all of these Web APIs [0]. However, Vue is my go-to. It's just reactivity with files that don't break "separation of concerns". Plus a community if I get stuck.

Its original intention of being a way of moving value easily including small amount has not panned out, it does not negate that it has matured in to a digital gold. Or just say you heard about it early and regret not grabbing a few wooden n

Besides all of the issues with decades of peer-reviewed studies claiming little to no connection, there is something very strange that the brand name "Tylenol" is EVER used if the supposed culprit is acetaminophen. TLDR: anti-vax

A great time sink! Wondering if certain types of instrumenal music could be paired with paragraphs of text in a written story, much like scores in film and TV. Using the X and Y axes as a guide so a chatbot could read ahead and match the sc
