Yet another ugly loss for the Bulls. They came in at -3.5 points which I thought shouldn't be too hard to cover with your team mostly healthy and playing a team with a record of 14-36. I have lost all hope in the Bulls, not that they had a real chance at anything anyways, but just being competitive makes them fun to watch and they can hardly be that...not even playing .500 ball is sickening with a roster that talented.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/01/chatgpt-ai-economy-automation-jobs/672767/In the next five years, it is likely that AI will begin to reduce employment for college-educated workers. As the technology continues to advance, it will be able to perform tasks that were previously thought to require a high level of education and skill. This could lead to a displacement of workers in certain industries, as companies look to cut costs by automating processes. While it is difficult to predict the exact extent of this trend, it is clear that AI will have a significant impact on the job market for college-educated workers. It will be important for individuals to stay up to date on the latest developments in AI and to consider how their skills and expertise can be leveraged in a world where machines are increasingly able to perform many tasks. I'm personally skeptical on the ability of machine learning/neural networks to fully replace humans. I think it's more likely that it will boost productivity by performing the more simple and routine tasks, but there will still be the need for human touch. People will lose jobs because now a professional will be able to do the work of 2 professionals, but AI won't do the work of all professionals. Well I think it's important to first note that artificial intelligence, or "AI" does not actually even exist yet, and we are likely quite a ways off from actually having created AI (self learning). Chap GPT is a pretty cool new program and these types of programs are only going to get better, but they aren't legitimate AI so there upside to replace humans is still quite limited. Surely this type of stuff will start to replace humans, but for certain things, and I think it'll take a lot longer than many are predicting. |

This is a great/important topic and one I think we should all be having more often. In my opinion one of the biggest things that we need in order to help bring more stability to bitcoin is....actually using it! I'm fully convinced that bitcoin actually being used as a means of payment, is what's going to shoot it "to the moon". There's still too many skeptics who point out it's lack of real world use for every day items and by starting to use it more often would be a huge boost to it's acceptance and therefore help volatility.

Ehhhh not so sure I'm with you on this. First off, no one really knows why Tom Brady and his wife decided to divorce. I'm sure his continued football career deep in to his 40's is part of it, but I'd also guess that it was certainly not THE reason for the divorce.
Also, no one really knows how much money Brady had invested in to FTX. I've been reading all these wild accusations saying he put every dollar he had in to FTX etc etc, but this is all conjecture.

Those of you with 4k TVs been enjoying the Fox broadcasts this playoffs? It drives me nuts that Fox is the only one doing 4k and only doing so for the playoffs. I hope the Super Bowl will be in 4k, does anyone remember if it was last year? Anyway, I think niners will finally collapse this week (sorry Dire),
Don't be sorry, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Realistically, I've been saying that I think the Eagles are a fluke since mid-season. I predicted they would be one and done in the playoffs, so obviously my prediction isn't 100% accurate, but I'll settle for two and done.  I am not a football expert or have as much information and knowledge compared to everyone in this thread, however, I agree that the 49ers might give everyone the shock of the season. It will be witnessed that it will be the most difficult game that the Eagles has ever played this season. I am afraid that Jalen Hurts might fail to perform in the most critical of moments because of San Francisco's defense. This will be called the miraculous game.  Yeah it should be a pretty good game. Both games this weekend are pretty damn exciting and all four teams in the games really deserve being there. As much as I believe in the 49r's, it's not going to be easy for a rookie QB to be able to take down a team as complete as Philly is. If I had to put money on the game, I think I'm siding with Philly. Just because of the rookie QB situation and coming in just 7 games or so ago. Regardless, can't wait to watch the games. |

Terrible loss by the Chicago Bulls last night. I just don't get it with this team. They beat really good teams on a decently regular basis but keep loosing to teams they shouldn't be losing to, like the Indiana Pacers last night. They had a 21 point lead at one point and completely squandered that. Lavine only having 14 pts was pretty sad. The guy was 0-7 from the three point line last night. After missing 5 straight 3 pointers it's probably time to switch it up. SMH, terrible loss.

Renting versus Buying is an age old "debate" but which you should do lies somewhere in between the two. Sometimes renting makes more sense and sometimes buying makes more sense. It just entirely depends on where you live, as in what country and what city. There's some good articles out there online that talk about what to look for when you're deciding on renting versus buying. Here's a pretty good article that shows some key reasons why renting might be the best bet for some- https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/1112/reasons-renting-is-better-than-buying.aspx |

It seems that people are now getting used to Bitcoin market behaviour, now people are understanding that Bitcoin cycle is 4 years. Imagine if the FTX collapse happen in 2017, I believe the impact will be more drastical compare to today, now I can boldly say that Bitcoin has now recovered all it's losses since the FTX collapsed, is this safe to say?
I never expected the fast recovery that's why I said the world is finally understanding why Bitcoin is a necessity in every one's life, am I saying too much? Or you think I am right?
I think it's important to note that bitcoin doesn't really have a "cycle" every four years, its just that bitcoin simply "halves" every four years, which is different and would be a bit confusing to those not real versed on bitcoin if you don't explain what you mean by that exactly. Bitcoin didn't have anything to recover from, only people. I'm also pretty certain that most people who lost money in the FTX ordeal have not recovered. Totally different things you're mixing up here. |

This is actually a pretty good idea. I have done this with other types of things, like CBD tinctures. I'll go to the website, look around a bit, enter in my email either for their newsletter or to "sign up" but don't place any immediate orders. Almost always within a few days I'll get an email saying something like "can we tempt you with 20% off" or something to that effect.
Thanks for sharing this idea, not sure why I haven't done this before with online casinos.

I'm all about freedom and less government ( the side of me that sides Republican here in America) but I'm not sure it makes any sense to have KYC only if you win. If they are going to require KYC, then to me it only makes sense to make it a requirement from the start so you know that you are going run in to at some point. By not requiring KYC up front, I feel like it's a bit misleading, and therefore doesn't really make sense.

NBA 2022/2023 Season is absolutely phenomenal and full of surprises. Each of the teams surprises with the level of play, except for the San Antonio Spurs, which can be seen that this season they can not find a place for themselves in the league. Constant losses, roster rotation, lack of teamwork. I hope they will surprise us all next season after completing their shortcomings.
I used to be a fan of San Antonio Spurs but when their former roster has retired, there's no longer any spark to the team unlike before when they're with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili. I guess most teams that are struggling now were used to be great with their former rosters that we've became fans of. But this time, that era has ended and we're entering to the new era and we have to bear with this reality to sink in. They have been rebuilding since that dynasty, although there is high hopes that time that Kawhi will be the next generation, but we all know that he went on his separate ways and become a champion in Toronto. Coach Pop has yet to find his next big 3, he has been experimenting in the last decade or so and continue to tank his season. And hopefully they can find the right players otherwise they will continue to be like this in the next couple of seasons. I used to really enjoy watching this team, but as you have both pointed out, they are no longer the Spurs of the past. They of course had some big time talent on that team, but they did an excellent job creating a fully well rounded squad even outside of just the superstars on that team. I would complain about them being so good for so long, but as a Chicago Bulls fan we had our own dynasty, so I can't complain too much lol. |

I told this to Mike back in 2015 or 2016, something like “man if you came back you would do so well being there’s such a demand etc”. It was my early days and I’m sure he was thinking something like “Im well aware noob”. I said this after we briefly conversed via email after I had initially asked if he was still selling coins at all and he had told me he quit a few years back but they can sometimes be found on eBay.
Mike did say in that Shrem interview he’s not totally ruled out making another coin, and that he may prefer to partner up with someone on it (imagine a Kialara Casascius co/project). This would have been really cool for Theymos proposed forum coin.

This is the type of topic that comes up a good bit with my clients. Many financial advisors, or just a general consensus in the past is to have at least 3 months of monthly expenses saved up at all time. I think it's best to try and do 4 or 5 (if you can). The last thing you want to have to do is borrow from your retirement plan, but this could be a solid option for those who are really in need of some quick money.

You know I never even thought about making a post like this as I just assumed that most people knew that Satoshi's posts can be seen here, but I can see there are plenty of people who didn't know this and likely will continue to find this out thanks to this post.
I have read through everything Satoshi has written here. There's a few of his posts in particular that I really like (like his proposal for 3rd party-less escrow using cryptography/smart contracts). I've of course seen the white paper too. All must reads!

I am from the United States and I sure as hell don't think my government is any good, but I just don't understand much of the Eastern part of the world and their laws. The one thing that pisses me off is Japan trying to be all "moral" when it comes to gambling yet they allow for horse racing which is an extremely cruel "sport" that needs to be rid of, and is already well on it's way here in the United States as people are waking up to it's cruelties.

I did pretty well betting this weekend. I for some reason decided not to bet any of the Saturday games, but played both Sunday games. I had the Cincy Bengals at +5.5 I think it was, and the Niners at -3.5. I felt really good about Cincy so I'm kicking myself for not putting a whole lot more on them.
Got Cincy at +1 last night. They are at -1.5 now, trying to figure out how to play this. I think they will beat the Chiefs, but just don't know how much more the line might move.

Anyway, I think niners will finally collapse this week (sorry Dire),
Don't be sorry, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Realistically, I've been saying that I think the Eagles are a fluke since mid-season. I predicted they would be one and done in the playoffs, so obviously my prediction isn't 100% accurate, but I'll settle for two and done. But to your point, a catastrophic collapse of the 9ers wouldn't surprise me, but that's what it'll take for Philly to proceed. Bengals will crush KC (who already seem to be looking for excuses - Mahomes injury etc), and after the SB
After this weekend's performances of the Bengals and Chiefs I agree that Cincinnati will be the AFC champions once again. I had the Bills going to the Super Bowl, but obviously they need to learn to play in the snow first. there will be a riot in Philly either way.
Okay, I'm confused. Did they ever stop rioting in Philly? What a weekend of games we had. It did however play out as I expected it to. Just wish I would have put way more money on Cincy as I had complete faith in them, as well as a little more on the San Francisco ( ). I'm in agreement, I believe we will see Cincy in the Championship game again. Joe Burrow is ridiculous. I'd happily trade the entire bears roster for that guy. As for who they will meet in the championship, who knows. I was able to get the Bengals at +1 yesterday, where they are now at -1.5. I wonder how much more the line might move. Sure if Mahomes somehow gets ruled out it'll move a lot, but otherwise, just with his health news, will be interesting to see how it moves through the week. |

need to find lawyers who understand what Bitcoin is - what cryptocurrencies are.
This There are lawyers who specialize in blockchain / cryptocurrency…I found one in Chicago (same name as a friend I went to HS with funny enough). Let me contact my lawyer friends to see if I can get any recommendations. |

Hi, Just a few comments about NFC security with respect to NFC skimming and other vulnerabilities. I am the developer of Satochip ( https://satochip.io), a hardware wallet based on a smartcard. Our devices support NFC (e.g. for mobile integration). All communications with the card uses a secure channel which is encrypted and protected against replay attacks (among other). This means that even if a flipper 'sniff' the communication, it will only get encrypted data. If it records a communication and ty to replay it (repeating same data), it will also not work. Moreover any sensitive operation such as signing a transaction is protected by a PIN code, and this PIN is also sent encrypted to the card. In any case, the private keys are never exported outside of the chipcard! The firmware running on the card is open-source and available on Github, so you can check in details what is being exchanged and verify that it is secured: https://github.com/Toporin/SatochipApplet We also provide 2 other products based on smartcards: * Satodime (satodime.io): a bitcoin bearer card to store bitcoin like a physical note with the private key stored on the card * SeedKeeper (seedkeeper.io): a backup solution for your seeds Thanks for all the info. I would imagine most btc NFC wallets run a similar pattern as you guys? Curious if you know any (you don’t have to mention by name if you don’t want) that are currently available out there that don’t use encryption, and would be vulnerable to tools such a flipper? I think you or someone from your team donated a wallet card to a charity auction I ran a few years back. I don’t see it in your past posts so maybe it was someone else with Satochip ? Either way it was much appreciated! |
