No Sunday morning Bitvest spammers today?

There are no more certainties in life...

We'll have to fight boredom by observing BTC's price then.

The average relationship

Reaching $50K for the second time felt just as great as reaching $50K for the first time, pure magic guys.

Better enjoy it fully (and twice) because the next magical (imo #nohomo) barrier will count 6 digits.

Reaching $50K for the second third time felt just as ..... etc.

Special thx to Sleepy Joe for the free cash.

To all those who said Bitcoin will NEVER reach $50k again...

I feel like a jerk to say that, but those who trust their email to an Outlook server almost deserve it. When will they learn?

Companies are having a hard time getting away from Microsoft. There are open source solutions for all Microsoft products, but employees often don't want to adapt. It's also a legal and insurance issue for some companies that require regular audits because Microsoft products have a better reputation than solutions from lesser known open source vendors.

The problem is that Microsoft has successfully infiltrated the educational institutions in the last 20yrs, now they move their userbase to their cloud so that they do not have to care anymore about the userbase buying the next upgrade and can just charge (easy predictable amounts) monthly.

I helped a friend some time ago to buy a cheap notebook and setup Ubuntu on it for his daughter. Yesterday he showed me a letter from the school that she needs a Win10 Pro Notebook so that she can use O360 which all the lessons are based on.

It's less employees, who typically must do what they're told and more employers and managers. As well as an undeserved reputation vs other products, there's also "nobody got fired for buying Microsoft" and the idea that if something goes wrong, there is someone to sue. However, Microsoft has lots of lawyers and a deep war chest as companies have often found out to their detriment.

How does word soup like this get published?

Blockchain Professor Gary Gensler, nominee by President Biden to be the next chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), words when asked how he will approach technology and digital assets is a worry says Ran after the soon to be SEC chairman, who will decide if Bitcoin gets an ETF and the USA adopts cryptocurrency, said the commission will be technology neutral (3:40).

Those things are neat. I need to get mine back in commission. It stopped erasing the previous display.

Put win10 on a VM. Depending on your morals, you could don an eyepatch. (That doesn't really affect the point of what you're saying but fighting back always helps).

Saw this great pic on a tweet in a PlanB thread.

Let me rephrase the picture...

Black hole:
"A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing—no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from it.
The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole."

Bitcoin:
"A Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency of the world where gravity is so strong that nothing—paper money or even governments such as Central Banks—can escape from it.
The theory of cryptocurrency predicts that a sufficiently compact mass (21million coins) can decentralize governments to form a new world."

I appreciate your explanation of the picture, shahzadafzal, because it does seem to help me, but I am having some difficulties understanding why you are using the term cryptocurrency when you refer to bitcoin, and sure, "technically" bitcoin likely fits into a subcategory, but seems to me that part of the problem is that we have no other example in such category besides bitcoin that meets the value sucking definition that you seem to be applying to bitcoin but you feel some kind of inclination to broaden the concept beyond bitcoin by using the term "cryptocurrency"  

Furthermore, many of us appreciate that the term cryptocurrency is abused and confusing in mainstream parlance - so I really have difficulties understanding why anyone (whether academic or not) really feels a need to use the term "cryptocurrency" when referring to bitcoin value sucking dynamics... ..even though in theory there could end up being some other system or coin that might end up developing some of the same or similar value sucking characteristics that are currently ONLY realistically measurable in bitcoin.

Space elevator: the noob Newtonian dabbler in me has a question.

Won't a sufficiently high/massive elevator slow down this mudball's rotation? As in, longer days? Conservation of angular momentum and all that. Please make me feel safe again. Thanks.

Shudder.

The mindless Youtube drivel, incohesive thought patterns and total lack of grammatical skills reminds me of the movie Idiocracy.

I realize that Youtube does have some valid uses (like repair tutorials etc) but some people watch it like TV and actually believe the bullshit spewed on "shows" like the ones mentioned here.

Total idiocracy.

Do users post this phrase when they want to send merit to someone? but at the same time they do not have them in stock.

I feel like a jerk to say that, but those who trust their email communication to an Outlook server the internet almost deserve it. When will they learn?

ftfy

This position is a little bit too drastic for me. I think communication on the Internet can hit a sweet spot between effectiveness and safety. Of course, the right tools are needed, but they must be made widely available to the largely uninformed masses.

Schools should be pushed into platform-agnosticism.

Public schools should be almost forced into OS/FOSS (if they like their public funding, that is).

There. I said it. Does this make me a socialist?
