    If you feel like clicking more links, to find similar stuff, I came across that song plumbing YouTube's auto-generated list for 'similar to Jamie xx'. There's some other good stuff in there.

    I'll take back what I wrote! I was thinking of the cost to the transactee, not the cost to the world: currently $179, see Bitcoin Average Cost Per Transaction[^] One word: absurd.

    If it makes you feel any better, I do know some Trumpers who bought into quite a lot of the bullshit who are now starting to delve deeper, and see that they were sold a bag of crap. Specifically, they went to Mike Lindel's site and actually looked at the attachments for the Supreme Court filing he promised, which no Attorney General signed onto. When they read it they saw that everything is based on possibilities, not evidence of actual wrongdoing. The attachments don't even support many of the assertions in the filing! It is a complete waste of paper, as far as actual proof is concerned, but I guess it helped sell some pillows. Hopefully, that change in those I know helps show that we might make it out of this morass intact. Hopefully... The Science of King David's Court | Object Oriented Programming with C++

    I agree. I "cut my teeth" writing embedded code for DOD avionics computers and FAA radar systems. It had to be written in assembly language because the compilers of the day (1970s) were horribly inefficient and the "optimizers" were buggy. Everything had to be documented to DOD specifications and data item descriptions (DIDs). Thankfully, the source code, however, did not get loaded into ROM. The source code was printed, bound, and included in the documentation, along with a punched paper tape or punched card deck for the source and paper tape for the binary. Only the binary was programmed into the ROM chips - the largest avionics system I worked with in those days had a whopping 12K of ROM for the program and 4K of RAM for data. When I moved to the commercial world, I programmed Intel 8008, 8080 and 8086 and Motorola 6800-class processors. (PS: I preferred the flexibility of the instruction set of Motorola processors over the Intel processors.) Later, I moved on to minicomputers (remember them??), UNIX, C and finally to Intel 80x86-based "personal computers" running Windows 3 and 3.1 on top of DOS. __________________ Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now. © 2009, Rex Hammock

    > However, proponents of cryptocurrency say owning the NFT carries clout and bragging rights - and that simply right-clicking and saving an image is not the same It is to me. I personally put as much value on a copy of the Mona Lisa as the original--and vice versa (what would I do with that thing?) Being able to prove you "own" the original is just that, a bragging right. And given that anything digital can be copied infinitely and you end up with the exact same sequence of bits makes it all even less worthy of anything, IMO. The quicker the whole concept of NFT can be ended, the better.

    If you like it, you might like the short films of "Dust" (there are a lot of them) M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

    "Fair Use" says that you can use just about anything as long as you don't make money off of it (that would otherwise go to the "creator"). I like copying others' "abstract" paintings.
