Shame Boy posted:you may be asking, how is any of this decentralized or related to bitcoin at all? well There was a manager in my old department who had this intense used car salesman vibe to him. At one point he decided that it would be a good idea to try and put forward an innovation project. He said it would use 5g, blockchain, and the new generation of mobile processors to be able to generate immense throughput for transactions and then accomplish something (he was never very specific about what). Since I was the person in the office who knew the most about blockchain I got called in to a few of the meetings, and he got one of my teammates to build out some slide decks to try and pitch this to a few of the higher ups. Whenever we tried to get more technical detail on exactly what he wanted this thing to do, though, he would deflect. After about a month of this, we realized that he really had no plan at all. He just had some general buzzwords and thought that, by throwing them out to a group of more technical people, we would come up with something and then he could take credit for it as his idea.

It seems like, if you're already spending that much money to build out at sea, increasing the price by another 20% to get double the square footage would be a bargain.

is this that loving article with "oh i went to the magic hippie party and told them i wouldn't write about it but it was so great you guys and i brought a girl home from it but i can't say anything else about it" paragraph that the editor really should have left out? edit: yep quote:I promise not to write about what happens at this party, because I’m off the clock, and I keep my promises, even though it was the only part of the whole adventure that gave me any hope whatsoever for the future of humanity. The world still needs hippies, insufferable though they are—and I come out of a culture where people open their homes to strangers, try to believe the best of each other, wear lumpy jewelry, and share whatever they have. This, still, is what the crypto-burners are about. I sank into it with relief. I may have got hammered and chalked some socialist poetry on the walls. I may have listened to straight-laced, lost-looking businessmen tell me about their secret sexual predilections as hippies played the same songs hippies always play on the guitar at four in the morning. I may have fallen asleep in a puppy-pile of half-dressed futurists. I promised no more details. I feel that the details would be less shocking and more reassuring than the people they would feature seem to be worried about, but what do I know? I come from a community where sex and drugs aren’t shameful, but sexism and coercion are. A community where, when a total stranger tells you you can show up at their house anytime and stay for as long as you like, they mean it. By way of example: A girl I met at that party happens to be sleeping on the sofa behind me right now. I’m trying to type quietly.

I have never been to check on a price or graph, but I have read books (pro & con) and follow this ecosystem almost every day since like November of 2011 because there is always something new and it is always dumber. Dorian is still my Satoshi. Invent computer monies to buy model trains internationally. At least that makes sense.

I return to my ocean pod after retrieving milk and other essentials from the mainland. I slip a bit as I detach myself from the hovering drone, it's unprotected rotors that were screaming next to my head for the past 2 hours shift as it flies off in to the distance. I grope around in the darkness on the smooth, egglike roof of my home, trying to find the top entry hatch. Ascetics were the primary concern when designing it so the roof lacked any railings or lights, and all the internal lights were controlled by some sort of fancy sensors so the inside was pitch black. Eventually I find the hatch and the key, a ring I have to wear on my hand at all times to make the house do anything, unlocks the hatch and it pops open. Unfortunately it turns out I was standing on top of it and it very nearly flung me and my milk into the ocean 10 metres below, but I managed to grab on at the last second. I worked my way around the edge of the opening, feeling for the super fun and exiting climbing hand holds the designers decided to use instead of a ladder. I started to slowly ease myself down, climbing this was hard in the best of times, even worse while carrying something. As my hand with the ring entered the house the lights came on and in the living room my favourite song started playing. What I failed to notice was that the shower had started up too, and as the room gradually filled with steam the handholds got more and more slippery. Having detected that the ring was now inside the house the hatch decided to close with a loud snap. This startled me and my feet slipped on the hand holds. With only one hand to support me I fell the rest of the way down, my bag of groceries tearing open and the contents spilling out. I managed to land on my feet but the ground was so slippery I fell forward, landing on the toilet with my head entering the bowl. The carton of milk I had gone to buy flew through the air and landed on the handle, activating the incinerator and killing me instantly. The moral of the story is to always close the toilet seat lid, good day

So many questions. each time you poop you must create a nft for that poop. the blockchain used doesn't have any way to track pee, so the immutable trustless record will always say that you never peed in the toilet. the physical reality is unimportant once you have the nft.
