I realize that but I had to follow through from my previous post. Still working on saying no to myself

no

Your peer pressure is powerless here YODL the grey. I wasn't allowed to eat refined sugar or drink milk growing up. That means I have been crafted over years of daily excercise to tell people no.

I can endorse this message.

But none of those other people are implementing it in quite the right way. They may be able to work for awhile but they all introduce one fatal flaw or another, only your idea has staying power, if properly implemented at speed.

Once nice add-on effect of extending a hand of legality is that unscrupulous employers lose their power. Will they try to import more? Sure. But I'd rather go after those employers, hammer and tongs, then the people they are scamming.

What does it compile to?

Yes, but I don't like what about isms. What is the right thing for us to do today. Justice is nice, but we are never going to have perfect justice in this world. If we can't persue the last inch of justice with charity then we have to make up the difference in mercy.

And lots of interesting reasons to do it. Doing for the weak is one of the nobler.

I won't advocate for fully open borders but I agree with the spirit of this note. I have a friend who moved from Washington State to South Carolina because he no longer felt safe raising a family there. It is wonderful that he could do that within his own country. But not every country is as big and diverse as the U.S. what do you tell people who feel endangered by their circumstances but have no where to go. I'd just remove the monetary inventives and make coming here legally much easier.

Nah. When I finally do make my own thing I'll send you a copy. Though I think I might be able to make a nostr integration.

I don't know that it is payback for anything. But I also think we could close the spiquet without stooping to Gestapo levels on the people already here. Part of the worry is that they will always vote Democrat even if their values don't align, out of fear of being deported. Well good job ensuring that! Republicans should have given them a path to legal residence if they self report. No citizenship if they broke the law, but no tearing families apart either. They could have made friends for life, but no...

Hmm. Where to start. None of what you said is wrong per se, but there are some big caveats. The main one is the view that the quantum world is kind of the substrate of the classical world. This is kinda true but it doesn't mean what you are implying. First of all. We don't have any good indication that space itself is quantized. People have attempted various forms of quantum gravity (beyond my abilities by the way so take this part with some salt.) but we don't actually know that it is quantized. General Relativity is pretty undefeated in it's predictive power and it assumes a continuum. Second the aggragate effect of many small interactions are distinct from the small interactions that give them rise. Take fluid flow. The physics that drive it are fairly well modeled by a bunch of balls colliding at random, and traveling all directions. But the macro effect is well ordered. When pouring water out of a glass it is always going to go from high to low in a predictable manner even though each individual molecule is blasting around in every direction. You aren't going to suddenly have the whole thing shoot off to the ceiling. There are simply too many molecules and there average motion becomes the dominant effect by a wide margin. Sure you get some second order effects of random motion, for instance evaporation, but on the timescale and temperature of pouring the glass, it can be safely ignored. Same with quantum effects. Yes it is possible that a macroscopic system could suddenly behave in a quantum way. But at the scales involved it is unlikely to a vanishingly small degree. The terms are massively overwhelmed by the probability. The Second Law of Thermodynamics ensures that we are never going to be able to do interesting things with quantum physics on a macroscopic scale. Side note, you can have some fun if you constrain the macro effects by keeping things really cold. Superfluids etc. But even then, our macroscopic machines are largely geometric and the quantum world is not really going to affect geometry. We can have additional fun working directly with fields like electricity and magnatism and there is plenty to be done there where we can use quantum behavior. Transistors etc. but those aren't mechanical machines. I guess my concern isn't that awesome things might still be possible. They definitely are. As you say, there is so much we don't know. But there is also so much that we do know but the knowledge isn't evenly distributed. So when I encounter a conversation where people talk about known things as if they were mysterious and pluripotent I don't know how to deal with that. People do it all the time with Relativity and quantum mechanics and I guess gyroscopes. Not understanding a thing isn't license to think that it is capable of anything. It is better to find people who do understand it and just ask them. I can't get too mad though because such dreaming is important. Out at the edges of the known we have to wonder and hope and try things. My only frustration is when people would rather keep their mystery instead of learning and moving their hope some place better suited.

In my defense, it seems a mutual confusion. I have Somali neighbors. They almost never come out of the house so I have mostly just seen them darkly though a car window as they come and go. But they have seen me out in the yard waving to them hundreds of times. This past fall I finally went to knock on their door to get their landlord's number (he was dumping leaves on my property) the lady was confused when I said I was her neighbor. She had to ask which one. The one who lives 20 ft from you! But I couldn't complain. I couldn't have picked her out of a line-up of two people either.

Daniel Wigton
Daniel Wigton 28d

No, they don't all look alike. I do, however, live in a city with many Somalians, I would never confuse one with someone from any other country, but I am also pretty sure there are only 6 of them, three men and three woman, each copied 1000 fold.

Ok. I am moving to a coast where I will set up ice cream stands with a delivery service and an app. The runners will stop periodically to stamp qr codes for the app in the sand. I'm putting everyone out of business.

Daniel Wigton

Yup, my optimal strategy is to just tell as many people as I can that I vote third party. It gives them licence. If people hear it enough from different corners they will begin to believe that it can move the needle.

Daniel Wigton

True. ICANN controls the IP addresses and corporations control the connections. But you don't have to use ICANN approved addresses and you could, in theory, create your own connections. The thing that makes me ok with IP is that while it does partially leak who is communicating with who it doesn't leak what is being said. As long as you don't use their certs anyway. Add some oinion routing and the leak gets smaller. Now they just know who is participating in private communication but not necessarily with whom.

Seriously though. Modern hardware and connections are very very fast. It is just that we are equally lazy with our data structures.

Yes in a medium, shorter wavelengths travel slower than longer wavelengths. Same as water waves.

The original Alice keys public and private are provided by Bob in the invitation. They have to be so Bob can configure his node to allow communication from them. Alice then sends her real pubkey for future use and provides an alias pubkey as well. The aliases are used for identification and encryption, but real keys are used to sign the payload after it has been decrypted. It is a bit more complicated because there are sub keys involved to effect access control. You wouldn't want to use the same key to play wordle that you use to make payments. I'll let you just read the actual specs when they are done. I am trying to make them as simple as possible. I don't want to make some 30 page RFC for different aspects.

Where the tickets malformed? Too many? Did your script create duplicates instead of editing current issues with a count?
