What is Lightning Network? How does it work? https://t.co/9MIgiLGDlR

Divide the BTC cap (21M) into world population (7.6B). We find that only 0.28% of individuals can own a full bitcoin.

Many businesses & early adopters own more than 1 BTC, so the fraction of people who will ever own a full bitcoin is considerably less. https://t.co/L3LPWDMySj

@Nixie_Virginia @tveitdal @FinancialReview …No matter how you play with that 1st number (Equinor claims they will reduce emissions of this 5% by 96%), it doesn’t deal with the other 95% of the problem. If everyone had a magic well of refined gasoline in their backyards, it would ADD to climate change and not help.

@Nixie_Virginia @tveitdal @FinancialReview @Nixie_Virginia: I don't think that you get Greta’s point. Choose a fraction—any fraction. Let’s say that 5% of climate impact from burning oil is associated with its extraction from the ground or sea, 5% is refining, 5% delivery and 90% is actual consumption by the end user…

@atealein @KlausQuats @GretaThunberg Pointing to human population is not a proposal for genocide. It suggests that we need education about reproduction, adoption, employer & family policies, and especially economic safety mechanisms to assure citizens they will not require children to simply survive retirement.

My latest article at LinkedIn is not about Bitcoin, privacy or physics. It's about the big lie of the sugar industry and the extent to which this 1967 conspiracy has impacted humanity over the next 50 years. (Spoiler: This is a horror story) https://t.co/tctOoWR6j3

@GretaThunberg Happy, healthy birthday, Greta!

Streaming apps block external monitors or enforces IP/GPS location. Goal: Allow user to cast to any screen—even across the world.

New Chrome feature, Optimize full screen video, switches from mirroring to running at the TV. This provides a vector into overcoming detection flags.

Trump *repeatedly* says "I would like nothing better than to testify", or "Of course I will release my taxes", or "No one has cooperated more than me". But every time, he ducks and runs. He lies, obstructs and then pumps up his base with more lies.

@AustinScottGA08 @realDonaldTrump @SpeakerPelosi That's a cute tweet, Rep Scott, but it is defensive, inflammatory—and an untruthful comparison. It is a DA's job (i.e "House leader's job") to start a prosecution in light of evidence. The basement meetings were the grand jury. Now a courtroom battle unfolds.

@hcarpach You claim that POW is the *only* valid method to achieve fair distributed consensus. I don't agree. But even if true, there are other ways to prove work without competing to see who can gobble up the biggest share of resources—especially a resource needed by consumers & business.

30 years ago, an astronomer hypothesized an incredible celestial event. No one had witnessed it, but it did not contradict laws of math or physics, so it was given a name.

Surprise! It occurred 5 million years ago, and this week, we are witnessing it

@Isoota2 @TorstenLuetten @Jumpsteady @GretaThunberg Want proof that activism works? Today, 4 USA Republican legislators joined 3 Democrats & 1 Independent to form a Climate Crisis committee.

Republicans, like Trump, are the party of climate change denial. But Greta has brought change! Members acknowledge pressure from their kids.

@JasmineCareddu Big fan of Dustin. "The Graduate" launched Simon & Garfunkel's career, introducing 3 hits at once: Sounds of Silence, Scarborough Fair, Mrs. Robinson). But despite the big stars, I hadn't heard of Jackie Brown—will check it out today!

@Schwarzenegger @GretaThunberg Your work, Greta and Arnold, is key to future generations. You are championing the battle of all battles. We don't lack solutions, but there is certainly a dearth of prescience to recognize a problem and the will to act. We haven't even begun to mobilize resources. Remain strong!
