US gov is not going to reimburse a private company for war damage caused by a sovereign country.

Property insurance generally has war exclusions, insurance co will deny claims. Unless there is some affordable magic 100% war damage coverage policy sold in the middle east, which is doubtful, no insurer would be able to successfully underwrite anything like that.

The company eats the losses and the recovery efforts it wants to persue.

Super cool! CLI makes a lot of sense for this, interested to try it out.

The MCP server released by QBO is a mess, keep needing to have Claude hack it to fix inconsistencies in parameters, limit results that completely fill up context, etc.

Top comment right now says "newpipe breaks every few weeks or so", but revanced builds in my experience last for at least a year before a new build is required. Personally I'd prefer more upfront steps and get a stable result, rather than something that works quickly but breaks often.

Yeah, I think the multilingual improvements in V3 caused some kind of regression for English - I've noticed large blocks occasionally dropped as well, so reverted to v2 for my usage. Specifically nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 vs nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3

Yes, Jmail.world and the entire Jmail suite is mind-blowingly impressive, apparently Walz and @lukeigel co-created it.

Lightning Network already uses millisatoshis. Of course they can't be settled in sub-satoshi amounts on the main chain, until there's enough interest in a fork to do so.

The fixed supply describes the total sum of units that have been issued, and that are intended to be issued in the future - it doesn't relate to the divisibility of those units.

Two sentences I would've not predicted in close proximity to one another! Hah, love it. Guess he's been through a lot over the years.

The flow has definitely started reversing, and yep you're right there will be problems. Worldwide central bank holdings of gold just recently surpassed holdings of US Treasuries for the first time in 30 years. And I believe that's using only reported amounts of gold, when all experts agree that China has acquired far more gold in recent years than what's reported.

Correct, this is the answer. Wasn't really known until this year.

Most visibly interesting part to me is the frame design without a rear triangle (no seatstay) like a motorcycle or dirtbike.

Materials must be real strong to withstand all the torque forces without a rear triangle, right? Any other e-bikes like this?

I think generally yes, phenethylamines are the primary compounds known to work in the same dose range as LSD. Unfortunately they are much cheaper to produce, and the majority of the 25C- and 25I-NBOMe fatalities occur after people believed they were taking LSD. I have read similarly, that tab size of a dose might be an indicator, but I don't think it's a fully reliable method. Check out the old 2013 Erowid "Spotlight on NBOMes" article [1]-

> Silk Road prices for pure 25I-, 25C-, and 25B-NBOMe powder currently range from $90 to $200 per gram. The most problematic listings are vendors selling blotter that begs to be resold as acid: 1/4-inch perforated squares in 100-hit sheets bearing designs such as Albert Hofmann's bike ride and The Beatles Yellow Submarine, among other acid-blotter designs from the past. One vendor states "each tab is acid size, no big blotters here". Another offers hits supposedly containing 1 mg of 25I- and 25B-NBOMe each! Dosages range from 500 micrograms to 2 mg per 1/4-inch hit, with advertised doses averaging around 1 mg. On Silk Road, LSD blotter is 5-10 times more expensive than NBOMe blotter.

I think unfortunately toxic and potentially fatal doses can fit on a 1/4 inch hit or in a single liquid drop. There needs to be a lot more active chemical though, whereas you get a slight metallic taste with LSD, the article says NBOME is extremely bitter due to the higher concentration, which is sometimes covered up with mint or other flavor (never heard of this with LSD).

There's an interesting 2019 article "Multimodal imaging of hallucinogens 25C- and 25I-NBOMe on blotter papers" [2] that analyzed a random seized NBOME sample from Germany. It has lower concentration per cm² than what Erowid cited, but I don't think it's a technical limit unfortunately that prevents scary doses from fitting on a standard blotter.

Your own emails are immutable, if you trust nobody's modified your copy.

But proving to others that an email hasn't been modified is a more difficult task. As I understand it, you'd need to retain DKIM keys for the signing server, to check that historical DKIM signatures verify correctly and the old message was not forged or altered.

Are DKIM signing keys issued in some kind of Certificate Transparency log, where you can verify whether a particular DKIM key existed for a particular domain in the past, in order to do this in general?

Can anyone explain in simple terms what is going on here? Author states he's going to "discuss possible causes for this behavior and implications" but I don't really see where it's discussed.

Why would human activity impact the probability of LIGO event detection? Is this because LIGO operators are doing certain things to the detector during their work hours, or some other property of the environment around the 2 LIGO detectors?

Are sd cards still corrupting all the time in rpi servers even with high-quality SLC sd cards, or just with cheap consumer sd cards?

Yes, TLS encryption has similar potential risks, quantum and other elliptic curve vulnerabilities.

Quantum resistant algorithms are under heavy discussion in bitcoin dev mailing list, and have been for awhile. I think the signature sizes for leading algorithms are still too large to be practical within existing block size limits, but of course lots of things would probably have to change in a quantum emergency. Bitcoin devs tend to be extremely conservative with making new changes (in part because it attracts a lot of contrarians) so it's going to take a long time for people to agree on the right architecture for a quantum resistant scheme in bitcoin, but it will happen, BIPs are in the works like BIP-360 which outlines some potential structure for it.

Yes, and for even higher security, use a bitcoin-only airgapped hardware wallet like Coinkite's Coldcard or Foundation's Passport Core.
