Good writeup on how universal lockdown is probably breeding resistance to lockdown in the same way that antibiotic overuse breeds antibiotic resistant diseases.
"If I stand down from my position ... because of an allegation about something that simply did not happen, then any person in Australia can lose their career, their job, their life's work, based on nothing more than an accusation"
"Attorney General Christian Porter has outed himself as the Australian cabinet minister at the center of a historical rape allegation that has caused a storm of speculation in the nation's Parliament."
Brave to come forward.

RT @RyanTheGentry
"Last month, we saw more than 10,000 minutes of streaming micro payments being sent directly from listener's wallets to podcaster's wallets using Lightning's 'keysend' protocol."
The future of media is here, just not evenly distributed yet

@lupyuen Arguably a good thing for Bitcoin, as it pushes mining in China underground, making the remaining mining less subject to government control because it's being done secretly.

"The other reason I have really not used Docker to for my development workflow is because of slow internet links we have in Uganda. A basic docker Image can roughly be 300-500MB and pulling that over the internet can be very painstakingly slow process on ~ 1Mbps link. So expensive data plans and slow internet connectivity keeps most African devs away from tools like Docker."
Nice reminder running into this randomly. :)

"Update 13:20pm: Craig Wright’s team has been in touch to clarify he is not asking for the network to be rendered mutable, but rather to have the stolen tokens replaced with new ones, all with a full train and under court order.
The idea, it seems, is to ensure both the thief and the victim can keep the money."

@pete The other posts about BSV by the same author are of the same level of disillusionment.
ZDNet journalist repeats Craig Wright's claims about stolen funds hook-line-and-sinker.
This either means that journalist is truly incompetent - one google search would raise so many red flags about Wright it's ridiculous - or they accepted something from Wright in exchange for publishing lies. Quite possibly the article itself...
It's no wonder Israel is trying to effectively make getting vaccinated mandatory... Anyone with a clue looking at the actual top-level stats would be skeptical.

Brian Rose has been fined and banned from "campaigning for mayor of London" because he went outside to campaign.

This is like saying you were "seconds away" your house being without electricity for months because a fuse blew.
Yes, if the fuses failed, permanent damage could be done. But literally every single piece of equipment on a competently designed distribution grid is protected by fuses.
The grid has got to deal with lightning storms and all kinds of shorts after all.
