Finally listened to stephanlivera.com/episode/268/ where @pete offers what I think is an excellent analysis and summary of the whole #Signal shitcoin situation from a technical perspective.

The only thing missing is mentioning #XMPP when @stephanlivera asks about federated messaging protocols. But we still have work to do, to make that a viable alternative for a mainstream audience IMO.

Great writeup on why it these blood clots were 1) so alarming, 2) definitely caused by Astra Zeneca.

"So four people out of 132,000 who received the Astra-Zeneca vaccine developed the normally exceedingly rare combination of thrombocytopenia with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. All had received the Astra-Zeneca vaccine seven to ten days earlier."

"It’s so uncommon that only a handful of cases have been reported in the entire medical literature. Up to now, that is."

COVID-19 location tracking app/tracking fob turns out to have zero privacy, while the company behind it lobbies to make using it mandatory.

Supporting covid tracking in any way shape or form was a massive mistake. The idea that we could get privacy preserving versions of it rather than a panopticon was always a pipe dream.

Resistance is the only option.

Worth a read; h/t @belcher

this is an oft-discussed scenario, I tend to think it will be a less significant effect than portrayed in this article; I am probably influenced by the history of bitcoin; I haven't seen evidence that prices are ever lower outside centralized exchanges (the opposite?), seems mostly surmise, not data.

The author may be under-stating the importance of the perfect verifiability (and doesn't understand intrinsic fungibility).
