It's funny how many programmers can be very good at math while also being very bad at economics.

Canadian truckers are domestic terrorists and the Canadian government should do whatever it has to arrest and clear them. China citizens are finally standing up against oppressive covid policies by a tyrannical government.

If you read my book (see 📍) you already know that Bitcoin is the best ally to transformation to non-fossil energy. Want concrete examples that work today? Glad you've asked... teapawt.net/level39/status/1549805…
🧵THREAD: Instead of shamefully promoting pyramidal yield-chasing custodial schemes, to separate savers from their #Bitcoin, VCs could have invested in energy innovation through Bitcoin mining. Here are some examples of innovators who are changing the world for the better. 1/

#Bitcoin není aktivum pro rychlé zbohatnutí. Největším přínosem Bitcoinu jsou P2P platby, self-custody a decentralizace. Vysvětlím. 🧵1/5👇

It's quite funny how the mainstream media is writing all these obituaries about @Twitter and @elonmusk, even though they are the ones dying.

All of you who are saying that we have to give in to nuclear blackmail are making nuclear war more likely. Please stop. When you give in to it, you empower dictators to do it again, encourage worldwide nuclear proliferation, and make nuclear war much, much more likely.

Původně jsem chtěl sepsat vlákno WTF ruských vojenských momentů, ale tohle téma je očividně aktuálnější. Takže, All-out jaderná válka.☢️ Nejdřív špatné zprávy: Rusko má celkem 6500 nukleárních hlavic a dlouhodobě se chlubí rozvojem nosičů. 🧵

Panic led to lockdowns. Lockdowns led to fiscal stimulus. Stimulus led to inflation. Inflation led to monetary tightening. Tightening leads to recession. The panic wasn’t free - and the bill is coming due.

I believe Safari on M2 Macs is the first hardware/software combo to 400 on Speedometer. Just a few months ago the record was 300.
Apple's chip team continues to embarrass everyone else in the business. Just clocked a clean 400 on the Speedometer 2.0 test for the M2 Air. That's 33% faster than the M1 (and A15) can do. 2.5x faster than a 4.2Ghz i7 Intel iMac. Bananas. Try your own CPU: browserbench.org/Speedometer…

Nonviolent people should be allowed to live and work anywhere in the world (provided someone is willing to rent/sell housing to them and hire them).

Let's discuss what's happening in Russia. To put it simply, it's going full fascist. Authorities launched a propaganda campaign to gain popular support for their invasion of Ukraine and they're getting lots of it. You can see "Z" on these guys' clothes. What does it mean? 🧵

Vám to shrnu: týpek měl koupil pro ruskou armádu speciální vysílačky, ale radši koupil shitky z hračkářství, takže si každej může poslouchat, co si vojáci mezi sebou povídají. Well done!

We know Putin’s convoy is about to reach Kyiv and start murdering many more women & children. We also know we can stop it with air strikes entirely justified by his war crimes. But we won’t, because we’re scared of retaliation. Putin’s bullied the world into shameful submission.

Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine. As Russian troops neared Kyiv, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was asked to respond. He had a pretty clear answer.

If you want to understand Europe’s energy crisis, you could spend hours reading BS “explanations” that consist of people who caused the crisis trying to deflect blame. Or you could watch this 50-second clip of me, who warned about this crisis, explain it.
