I loathe those awful cookie pop-ups.. They've really ruined the internet browsing experience. Also, pay-walls are quite annoying.
I love Hacker News, but many of the stories have cookie pop-ups and/or pay-walls. I kept wishing there was a way to filter out sites with cookie popups or paywalls. So I thought I'd try get Claude to help me create a Reader (I'm not a programmer!) using the HN API. This is the first attempt.
The UK has its problems. Vague laws, over-excited police, Home Secretaries from every party who can never get enough polish on jack boots.
When I lived there I complained to my MP about David Blunkett. Jack Straw was no better. I left around the time Teresa May (leopard skin boots. A change for the better) was telling migrants they weren’t welcome from the back of trucks.
Yes stasi is an intentional exaggeration of the fact that police are turning up at people's homes about their social media posts
and many have been jailed for social media posts but not all who have made comparable posts, so it seems inconsistent (targeted)
Bitcoin has viable ways to implement quantum resistance, but they require significant technical and social coordination. Ongoing research and Bitcoin's adaptability suggest it can evolve to counter quantum threats, provided the community acts proactively.

This is wrong. If you actually dug into the subject, you'd realize that due to decentralized nature of the asset there a myriad of nuances that will PREVENT smooth transition to quantum resistant protocol. It is simply not viable and it is absolutely NOT priced in. Believe me, I've read EVERYTHING I could on this topic and Bitcoin not being ready for quantum computers is the biggest elephant in the room right now.
Contrary to the popular myth, Bitcoin is not fully decentralized. Those who write the code and convince others to run it have the absolute power. For example, they can enforce US sanctions by including the GeoIP database and making each node refuse transactions from IP addresses of the "wrong" countries, if they can convince others that this code is the code to run.
Likewise, they have successfully enforced a number of protocol changes and hard forks in the past.
I'd be interested in your take on block lattice... I often hear that things like Nano are 'quantum-resistant', but I don't know enough about what that really means to be entirely confident about it.
Whats the problem.. just get your pal Soros to give you the money instead..
With $36T debt, Federal Government cannot continue splashing out money like there is no tomorrow
Trump is increasing the debt tho and did in his first term.
Republicans only care about debt when it can be used to either bash Democrats or used as a talking point to eliminate something they don't like. Lookup "Starve The Beast".
Republicans do not care about the debt. They care that it can be used as a tool. That's it.
They run up the debt when they want and then turn around to blame Democrats for the debt they ran up.
Nobody is really concerned with the US debt outside of silly wanna-be patriots and the politicians who use it to scare them. Now, one way to make the US debt a much bigger deal is to cause a recession...hmm...wonder if anyone is trying to do that...
Almost every economist believes there is no serious and immediate problem with our current debt level (which is actually increasing under both Trump administrations, despite their fake expressions of concern). Why do you believe you are right and they are all collectively wrong?
