“When the devaluation of the mark started during the war and especially during the postwar period, only a few people thought of the consequences which resulted for the affairs of learning. And yet it was after all perfectly clear that the foundations of German scholarship rest…

These are the new PNAC guys: PNAC 2.0. They will smile and chuckle and “aw-shucks” their way to complete global destruction as they cheer on “regime change” in countries far more powerful than Iraq was in the early 2000’s. When they—inevitably—fail, they will disappear with…

It should be obvious that there is no way for America to “win” in the world if her adversaries “lose.” “I win, you lose” is the logic of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, in which the Allies sought to “contain” Germany by redistributing its territory and industry, eviscerating…

I am often asked by people new to #Bitcoin, “What about its volatility?” There is, of course, the standard answer about how a new asset never before seen in human history will inevitably experience ups and downs during its first few decades of parabolic monetization. But what…

“Lowering the costs of self-custody is the most important macro objective right now in the Bitcoin universe. Getting those costs down both in terms of material costs and technical complexity are a critical evolution of the project of human liberty.” -@NSmolenski (👉 @SeedSigner )

According to Gov. Abbott’s own post, he is violating the First Amendment. A governor can’t lawfully arrest people for protesting or for “hate speech.” If he’s arresting them for other reasons, then he should say so. If he’s arresting them for their speech, then he’s violating the…

Who exactly is the economics team advising decision-making circles in DC to sanction the financial system of the country that finances the American trade deficit? I really want to meet these people. 🇺🇸🇨🇳

Congress is using their displeasure with specific types of protest as an excuse to give the administrative state more unchecked power. Nonprofits are already prohibited by law from supporting terrorism and face intense scrutiny about this. This performative bill, however, gives…

Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…

Just wondering if any of the “AI alignment” people have solved the problem of “human alignment?” … (TLDR: No, of course not, neither are “problems” to be solved; they’re manufactured moral panics to justify absolute state power.)

@Peace_Bruv What'sApp uses the Signal Protocol to protect the contents of comms--what you say. But it doesn't protect things like your contact list, profile name, who's in a group chat, who's messaging whom, etc. Signal protects all of these. This is a very important differentiator.

A few dozen, largely unknown, functionaries of humanity quietly keep the world's internet infrastructure functioning. I like to think of them as "marenauts"--sea astronauts--engineers trained to repair equipment in extremely hostile conditions in the alien world of the Earth's…

As the world moves increasingly toward identitarian nationalisms, countries that display a commitment to being multi-ethnic, multi-religious republics with no legally privileged racial or religious classes will have an advantage. I hope the United States can stay on this…
