I think it’s likely that the keys for those wallets have been lost.

I think that’s entirely possible. But I think it’s also quite likely that those wallets are intentionally being left alone. I think there are legitimate fears that revealing the identity of Satoshi would destabilize the Bitcoin economy (as well as make that person a serious target). Personally, if I were Satoshi, I would try to keep my identity secret.

Also, if you were to ask me, i’d say that this guy isn’t Satoshi because in all likelihood, Satoshi is Nick Szabo.

Nice, I remember encountering a sales pitch for an earlier version of this sort of device:

Since when was sms ever secure? My understanding is that messages are sent in the clear, meaning your carrier and the recipient’s carrier both have the opportunity to intercept messages.

I mean that’s the message content, not the authentication, but still, sms is the opposite of secure, always has been.

Talk about burying the lead. The headline should read “man has two Colons!”

And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it’s “Fallen Dragon”.

His book Dragonfall is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it’s called Fallen Dragon.

That sounds about right, I’ve never gotten anything nice from a hornet. The one time I did get something from a hornet, it was a painful disappointment.

This is my favorite post ever.

How many platters?!

The thing is, I prefer actually owning my media, I don’t use steaming services for the most part. But even with my 40 TB of media storage, I just don’t have the space for 5k content. If it’s worthwhile, it gets 1080, if it matters less (kid shows or anything that came from a dvd), it gets 720 at best.

I don’t believe in anything over 1080p. Waste of bandwidth.

But the thing is, you’ll also be able to buy a 2025 Tesla in 2035, and the price probably won’t be far off from the civic. In other words, there’s no problem here.

I didn’t see anything in the article about this, but does the regulation also ban hybrid vehicles? Just curious.

It would be a bit funny if like… Chevy bolt = cool, Chevy volt = illegal

They can ban the sale. They can also refuse to register the car, so no license plate. You’d get in a fair amount of trouble if caught driving an unregistered vehicle.

Most people can’t afford EVs anyway

Well yeah, most people buy used cars. But a used ev of a given year is likely to be in a similar price range as a comparable gas engine car. The question is, is there sufficient availability of used electric cars? From the sound of it, there will be in CA by 2035. Certainly, if everyone buying new cars is buying electric, then the number is used EVs available will skyrocket.

And either way, I’m sure this regulation is about new cars, nobody is going to stop you from buying a used 2025 civic in 2035, that’s fine. I mean the car already exists, it would be environmentally negligent to replace it as long as it still runs. You just can’t buy a new ice car after that.

I’m curious though, does this regulation ban hybrids?

That doesn’t leave many people in the “not terrorist” category.

Exactly what I came to say.

I don’t know what you mean.

Well, I think the majority of cops do care about their effect on their community. And I think the majority of cops originally chose their job because they wanted to protect people.

But our system is deeply flawed and it actively corrupts people in these authority positions. And despite their initial reasoning, the road to hell is usually paved with the best of intentions.

Policing in this country is probably even more problematic than our health care system (which is saying a lot). But it’s not because the individuals are bad; It’s tempting to say that, as it’s such an easy explanation and it gives us clear culprits to point at, but it’s really not rational. I think the true root of our problem with policing ultimately comes down to how our legislation works, specifically that the system isn’t robust enough to resist tampering from private and corporate interests. (And it’s tempting to blame the private and corporate entities, but this is also missing the point.)
