 Wen do we start talking about Jay Z being BFF's with Diddy and his involvement with B Trust?

Or ... 
 It certainly appears it's all being swept under the rug just like Epstein's shit was. 

I don't believe in coincidences and the fact that Kamala has rolled out pretty much Diddy's rank and file for her events reeks of deals being made.  
 I think the lack of enthusiasm is because we're just back to where we've already been. Exuberance will return when we get to uncharted territory.

I think 100K is going to unleash a magical time in the space. 
 Is there one single podcast episode that you can think of that has a really great synopsis of wha... 
 I've not had success using podcasts so I've began just sending people to "Thank God For Bitcoin" on YouTube.

 Boston Dynamic's Atlas is progressing pretty quickly... already has a 9 to 5, err, 24/7/365. 

"The robot’s unique gripping policy enables it to retain a firm grip by continuously estimating each object’s status for dependable handling. Atlas creates all motions on its own in real-time, without the need for teleoperated or preprogrammed movements.

The robot’s vision, force, and proprioceptive sensors allow it to adjust to changes in its surroundings, including unexpected impediments or moving fixtures. In order to guarantee high job completion rates, it can also recognize and react to action failures, such as improper part placement or collisions."

 Why some users put over 100+ relays into their NIP-65 Relay List 🤣 
 They don't know any better and if they're not being served with any content that interests them, they probably think that is the way to accomplish that.

Client devs should probably put some helpful verbiage on their network pages to prevent users from doing that and to link them to education on how things work. It's on them for prevention and a good user experience. 
 One of the coolest things about running a #Bitcoin Meetup in Vegas is the frequent visitors. Last night we had a couple of Canadians drop in. Hearing about folks local Bitcoin experience is always an interesting learning experience. 
 I've got a friend asking me how they can buy XRP in the US. Anyone have suggestions? (Yes I alrea... 
 If they can't figure that out on their own, they shouldn't own it. 

But to answer your question, you can go to any token page on CMC and see what exchanges list it. But again, the fact your friend has the Internet at their disposal and can't figure something as simple as this out... NGMI. 
 Tell Gramps that XRP wants to be the rails for CBDCs. 
 Nope and it doesn't make any sense. Ripple's Larsen has been behind the anti-Bitcoin campaigns doing things such as paying Greanpeace for the hit pieces and anti-POW political lobbying.

Moreoever, Ripple is very open that they've being trying to work with Governments and there is only one reason to do that -- to hopefully be their tech stack for any CDBC implementations. 
 LOL 😂 Got zero reaction.

 It’s my genuine belief that Kamala Harris’s IQ is a few points below the national average. 
 It has been absolutely wild seeing people support her when she literally cannot even speak in complete sentences and answer questions. It is literally like watching Idiocracy. 

The fact Dems are not steaming mad at the DNC for the start of the party is also unbelievable to me.  
 I have 5-7 pillows on my bed.  They all suck. 
 This hits me in the feels. I've been searching decades for a pillow I like.  
 [October 30, 2024] #Vegas #Bitcoiners Meetup - 6:30pm at Sierra Gold - 9465 S Eastern

 "South Korea’s Hyundai subsidiary Rotem has just unveiled its vision for the future of main battle tanks for the Republic of Korea (ROK), hydrogen-powered powertrains.

The next version of ROK’s K-series battle tanks, the K3, will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells and feature other advanced tech to become one of the world’s most sophisticated tanks.

The new hydrogen-powered K3 has been developed in collaboration with Korea’s Agency for Defense Development and other national technology research institutions. Once operational, the tank is hoped to enter production as soon as 2040, making it the world’s first." 

No clue if it's going to work, but it looks cool as hell.

 Right. I was also thinking that the KIA Boyz can't wait for the KIA release so they can steal 'em. 
 Any of you coming into Vegas for SEMA? Just picked up a ticket for SEMA Fest on Friday the 8th. I've never been to SEMA and I haven't seen Cage The Elephant since May Day 2010 back in Indiana.

 Nah, not worth it to limit someone's freedom of use to stem of someone else's lack of self control.  
 Anyone in the #58K gang waiting to rebuy what you sold? 
 Curious as to what the pricing on these will be but this could be huge for Bitcoin mining operations. Could also level the playing field for localities where energy cost is prohibitive . 

"Deep Atomic’s SMR is “designed to be installed on-site at data centers, delivering reliable zero-carbon electricity and energy efficient cooling, thereby significantly reducing carbon footprints, and helping data centers meet their increasingly stringent sustainability goals.”

With the integrated “data center-centric design,” this digital infrastructure can be zero-carbon and highly efficient in power and cooling, lowering operating costs and environmental impact.

The company claims the reactor is well-suited for energy-sucking artificial intelligence (AI) applications, cryptocurrency, and traditional cloud services."

100K sats for a great Coffee Shop name that is bitcoin/nostr related.

Name must ... 
 Hash House is part of a restaurant name already so they may try to fuck with another service business of a similar name. 
 GM! Just a reminder, the banks don’t have your money. 
 And when you ask for it, they like to call the police on you.

Not sure if anyone caught the Ryan Coogler video making the rounds.  
 I never got zapped for my sign postings but I'd rather you keep 'em and get more signs and lots more stickers so I can pass them out at our Vegas Bitcoiners Meetup.

 From the "This is what actual money laundering looks like" files:

An investigation by Oxfam revealed “poor record-keeping practices” by the DC-based international lender that resulted in anywhere between $24 billion and $41 billion in misplaced funds.

A World Bank insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, suggested the figure for the missing money “could be twice or 10 times more.”

 Personal blog post by Suchir Balaji, who recently left OpenAI and believes that their products are breaking copyright laws. 

He believes their practices will eventually lead to the destruction of commercial viability by the data and content owners. This leaks into the personal (and privacy) realm as well as many bots don't adhere to Internet standards like robots.txt and what not. 

If there isn't regulation on this front, maybe AI platforms should be on the hook to have to pay data sources that it returns since they charge for their services. I was thinking kinda how the SAG pays actors residuals, AI platforms would have to do the same. Thoughts?

 Tony Hinchcliffe. That's the note. 

I'm sure most were introduced to him via the Brady Roast, but he's long been hilarious. Load up the ole YouTubes and watch some of his specials, Kill Tony, and his Rogan appearances. Dude is a killer. #standup #comedy

 Bear Down! This may be Caleb's biggest road test of his early career tomorrow when we take on the 'Skins. Stoked to see the rookie quarterback duel. We're down multiple members of the secondary though, so it could be rough with their very solid receiving corps. 

Side note, I'm glad  to see the family of John Two Guns White Calf spark the conversation to restore the name, too. The move took Native American culture out of the spotlight while tribes lost millions in annual funding from the club.

 Almost won in spite of no offensive line, missing starting LT, corner, strong safety and then missing our best edge rusher in the 4th. 

Fire the OC (tonight preferably and leave his ass in DC) and reshape the offensive line this offseason and they'll be straight.

 From the "they're saying it's a psyop out loud" files:

The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that “appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world,” with each featuring “multiple expressions” and “Government Identification quality photos.”

Now why oh why would the Government need or want something like this? I'm sure they won't weaponize and use this technology against the American public either, right?
