Taking a moment to marvel at the completely normal tone of voice @NPRinskeep used to say “The President has had some meetings, including one with a pillow salesman who, according to news reports, brought by one last proposal for a coup.”

Your chances of being killed by your cat are low, but never zero.

Bitcoin mining is essentially a fucked up version of Candy Crush where you solve puzzles for coins, except the coins go to buy darknet fentanyl, launder money for warlords and provide gambling for hedge fund managers. (7/)

I won't cover the details of the algorithm, suffice it to say the premise of bitcoin mining is to prove how much power you can waste, and the more power you can waste, the more tokens you can probabilistically secure in exchange for your energy waste. (5/)

TLDR on bitcoin economics: It's a pyramid-shaped investment scheme backed by the collective delusion that value can created out of nothing by convincing greater fools to buy it after you do. (2/)

@dhh That’s my understanding. Also, even if you turn off iCloud backups, you’d have to get anyone else that you’ve iMessage’ed to do the same. Much like email, if you have one party’s data, you’ve got both parties’ data.

Prob just a coincidence that everyone at the Trump riot had people in their personal lives who couldn’t wait to turn them in

Put surveillance tech to good use for a change and identify these people so they can be denied access to any hospitals. Also assists in contact tracing, so if they are shown to have infected anyone else, they can be charged with attempted murder.

@tach47 Remarkably simple way to advertise both gross ignorance and a micropenis.
