- Imagine if your social media account was hosted in a git repository. You could choose to use a site like Github, but could also easily move to others like Gitlab or Bitbucket. This is essentially how Bluesky's AT Protocol handles user data.
- Web3: “user-generated authority, enabled by self-certifying web protocols.” A superset of technologies that include blockchains, but are not limited to them. Or we can just use “Self-Certifying Web Protocols” (SCWP).
- Met someone at a conference, sent some love notes on the blockchain, traveled the world, moved in together. electriccoin.co/blog/encrypted… How it started: How it's going:
- Put these numbers in the calculator: 327,000,000 Americans * 0.4 to 0.7 infected * 0.01 to 0.04 death rate = 1.3 million to 9 million deaths Anything we do to slow this down matters.
GIF - "I'm a freelancer" - ordinary, uninspired - part of gig economy - no health insurance "I'm a mercenary" - ruthless, intimidating - soldier of fortune - no need for health insurance when prepared to die in battle
- Apparently the Knights Templar were pioneers in financial cryptography. Pilgrims traveling between Europe and Jerusalem left their wealth with the Templars and carried an encrypted letter of credit to redeem at their destination.
- I was today years old when I learned that kale, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower are all the same species.
- Programmable money should programmatically do your taxes for you.
- Global trade grinding to a halt because a ship wedged itself sideways in a canal is the sort of thing that should disprove conspiracy theories that the world is run by a secret cabal of competent overlords.
- Dislike companies taking over perfectly good words just to ruin them though brand affiliation.
- Replying to @arcalineaThe death rate is higher when hospitals are overwhelmed, because many people need breathing support to recover. This is why we need to #FlattenTheCurve, to slow down infections so people get the help they need. This will keep the death rate low.
- A few years ago, I gave away a ticket to a security conference on Twitter. The mom of the high schooler who I helped attend wrote me today with this update, and it made my day. We've all had help - paying it forward keeps the cycle going. ❤️
