“I equate this to a controlled burn. They’re trying to purposefully clear the brush so that it doesn't become a bigger problem. But sometimes controlled burns become forest fires,” Thompson said. “I think it's going to be a long kind of slog through the year as they try to enact these policies.” https://apple.news/ANq7wkfiNS7SWurqBPTe1Iw

“Any sort of content creator starts by being a little crazy. It starts with the improbable concept that you could create written or audio or visual content that thousands or millions of people will actually want to see and get value out of, in the sea of endless content that already exists. But it starts somewhere.” nostr:nevent1qqsvk2jvu39cqny427nz9y8fqtde9y4tpse3394405d3dxwp3qv8s8czyr4tpe6k6v4cp0x5vneas39cqspsxp66z04tcdve5a3vntr6hy057qcyqqqqqqgpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2uccffz43

“Like fairy floss in a spring shower, the quantum state of any object is a hazy smear of possibility at risk of melting into reality moments after creation. Electromagnetic waves of radiation and the thermal bumping-and-grinding of moving particles quickly reduces the quantum significance into decoherence if it isn't protected in some way. Shielding quantum states inside computers is one thing. Sending a single photon through optical fibers humming with bank transactions, cat videos, and text messages while protecting its quantum state is far more daunting. You might as well cast your quantum fairy floss into the Mississippi and hope it tastes as good at the end.” https://www.sciencealert.com/quantum-teleportation-achieved-over-internet-for-the-first-time https://media.tenor.com/1RV0zZ6cAmsAAAAC/huhh-what.gif
“The only reason why I use the Chinese is because when we went to the American yards, they told me they couldn’t build a ship for seven years. ... The shipyards that we were talking to were booked up with military. They didn’t have any space to build a commercial ship. If you’re getting $2.5 billion for a destroyer, why are you going to mess around with a $75 million-$80 million cargo ship? It wouldn’t make any sense.” https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/if-china-freight-ship-fines-hit-were-out-of-business-in-us-carrier-warns.html

“Research and development follow money, not need. The problems of the wealthy - how to get slightly better entertainment, slightly more convenient services, slightly more exclusive products - receive disproportionate attention because solving them is profitable.” https://stacker.news/items/926865/r/halalmoney
“state capitalism which we leave under, accumulates capital to the political class, which in turn uses that capital to keep us pre-occupied with bullshit jobs, so that the masses don't become a threat to their grift” https://stacker.news/items/926865/r/halalmoney?commentId=927267

“The benefit of a server rack ASIC lies in standardization. Bitcoin miners are increasingly marching in step with the traditional datacenter industry, and that industry could see 40% adoption of direct liquid-to-chip cooling by 2026, according to data center developer Cyrus One. If miners adopt this design, then theoretically, they can optimize their supply chains by converging on server designs that are becoming best practice in the big-boy data center sector. This could make building and repairing bitcoin mines easier. And it could also make mining companies more nimble if they want to flex out of bitcoin mining and into other forms of compute.” https://apple.news/ArQNi-5uLRdW9Q3bE_2GwFA

“It may be that Bitcoin’s greatest virtue is not its deflation, nor its microtransactions, but its viral distributed nature; it can wait for its opportunity. “If you sit by the bank of the river long enough, you can watch the bodies of your enemies float by.”” https://gwern.net/bitcoin-is-worse-is-better
