Blame the newcomer, not the 50 year career politician running for office for the umpteenth time or the Clinton / Bush houses who suddenly are angels of morality.

I don't think power reveals at all. In fact the opposite is more true.

I think the ones who really have power are better at hiding their true intentions and hunger for power behind words, propaganda and deflection.

They did. Trump reversed it.

The move rescinds limits on the Pentagon handouts that were put in place by President Barack Obama in 2015 amid a national debate over policing touched off by a spate of high-profile deaths of black men at the hands of the police, including the shooting death in 2014 of 18-year-old Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Mo., by a white officer. Some local residents viewed police use of military equipment during the ensuing protests as an unnecessary show of force and intimidation.

In a speech to the Fraternal Order of Police in Nashville, Mr. Sessions said Mr. Obama had made it harder for the police to protect themselves and their neighborhoods.

Oh you are so right, I forgot that Obama passed that law about outlawing cops putting a knee on someone's neck for 8 minutes, and Trump reversed it...   /s  

So if you want to debate, try not to make yourself look too foolish.

There already are laws against murder. Hence the cops being charged for violating it. You wrongly assert with your cute little meme that Obama's administration did nothing to stop police brutality. I showed you evidence they did, and that it was reversed by Trump/Sessions. Your response is to move the target and insult. You are not wanting debate, you are wanting confirmation of your own uneducated opinions.

Well some high profile studies do say that police brutality is linked to the 1033 weapons transfer program. There's a lot more that has been said on this subject over the years, so much so in fact that I find it hard to believe you have not seen the link before.

https://www.cato.org/blog/militarization-makes-police-more-violent

Earlier this year [article is from 2017], a study conducted by researchers from Harvard, Stanford, Cincinnati, and Gardner‐​Webb concluded that the Pentagon’s 1033 weapons transfer program made participating departments more likely to engage in deadly violence. After receiving 1033 gear, departments were more likely to kill civilians as well as dogs.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2053168017712885

As for policy, our results suggest that implementing the EO to recall military equipment should result in less violent behavior and subsequently, fewer killings by LEAs. Taken together with work that shows militarization actually leads to more violence against police (Carriere, 2016; Wickes, 2015), the present study suggests demilitarization may secure overall community safety.

Hold up a sec,  I think it is possible that there is something we have all been missing in this.  Perhaps the reason the cops need military hardware to do their job...is because they have been given the wrong job.

It's the wrong job from our perspectives down here as lowly serfs. As long as we obey and keep paying taxes, we have nothing to worry about, right?

Thing is, this is something we can actually change at the municipal level.  So often the root causes of problems seem so far away, but city councils and mayors have the power to instruct chiefs of police to abandon "deliverables" (as if public safety were some widget), to de-emphasize "measurable performance metrics" that lead to contact quotas.

This does not even mean being "soft on crime", just stop hassling folks over nothing ffs.

Exactly, and don't complain either.  Masters do not appreciate complaining serfs; it makes them uncomfortable.

I don't think there's much doubt that law enforcement must be demilitarized, except for the use of special weapons in special circumstances with comprehensive investigation and accountability into their use.

Until demilitarization can be accomplished, there at least should be military-level controls on law enforcement violence. There should be Law Enforcement Police, equivalent to Military Police, and Law Enforcement Court Martials to keep law enforcement officers under control. Just as there are no soldier unions to fight the military, there should be no law enforcement unions to fight society.

If law enforcement want military powers, they should be subject to military-level controls.

Meanwhile, Craig says digital signatures aren't real if they are signed anonymously:

Craig, a missed comedian right there, it seems.
Where does he register his wallet keys?  

Not to say that the message was signed with the private keys of said 145 addresses.

Perhaps he thinks that if he throws enough random words into a reply that this will befuddle the interviewer and listeners?
To be fair, it seems to have worked cause I don’t know wtf he was talking about :-)

Edit: btw 4 more blocks until a -9% difficulty reduction.
Bitcoin working as designed and all is well.

I really really hope the courts in Florida throw the fucking book at him.  He has wasted a lot of taxpayer money in my country.

Looks like we got your >9% decrease.  Might be enough for some marginal miners to come back on.  In fact if this is the bulk of post halving stabilization, i am frankly surprised.  Too easy really...

I had missed this.

With block 632874, around a day ago, the expected cumulative work in the Bitcoin blockchain surpassed 2^92 double-SHA256 hashes (with a standard deviation around 1.4*2^83).

#4951760157141521099596496896hashes

Previous such events:

2^91, Aug 2019
2^90, Nov 2018
...

Of course, these days we add 2^57 hashes - as much work as was done ever by november 2010 - every 1.3 milliseconds on average...

Also mind-boggling: since we passed 2^92 about 21 hours ago, we've added almost 2^83 more hashes - equal to the total number by early 2016.
