    Today is #coin-laundry day. First the TV was playing "Friends", a 1990s and early 2000s show. Now it is some awful cartoon that I don't recognize.

    Man. *This* is why people are so stupid.

    > ... an identity-free mechanism that empowers distributed communities cannot avoid over-empowering centralized plutocrats pretending to be distributed communities.

    Vitalik Buterin, _Proof of Stake_, Pt 2, "On Colusion", p. 157

    I've been reading this series of essays by the founder of #Ethereum (also formerly involved with #Bitcoin magazine). They're good reading, with lots of theory discussed by someone much more well-read than I. I love the way he quickly dismisses finance as the primary target of #cryptocurrencies and #blockchains, instead conceiving of a virtualized and distributed computer ... and the way he intently focuses on the costs and benefits of distributed networks and governance systems.

    Note: I still own zero of any cryptocurrencies, despite my belief that minority communities in particular should transact part of their business that way.

    The DART mission did change an asteroid's orbit around a larger asteroid. From what I remember, they were hoping that by changing the smaller object's orbit, the larger object's orbit around the sun would also be changed.

    What kind of idiot thinks restaurant employees should not be required to wash their hands after they go to the bathroom? Or that restaurant owners and managers should not be required to implement and enforce such policies?

    That senator from #NC should resign, so the voters can pick someone else.

    I read a newly passed #MS law from https://legiscan.com/MS/text/SB2346/2023 and I noticed that it doesn't explicitly say when MS claims jurisdiction. It could be any of:
    1. Server / admin is located in Mississippi
    2. Server and its admin is located anywhere but intentionally provides services to residents of Mississippi
    3. Minor that views site is located in Mississippi
    4. Minor that views site lives in Mississippi but is visiting outside the state
    5. Sheriff doesn't like the site, so claims jurisdiction despite none of the above conditions being true.

    Also, they don't specify penalties, other than to say that the courts can decide to order payment of "court costs and reasonable attorney fees". I could have missed it, but I did read it twice a couple nights ago.

    Meant to punish online porn accessible to minors ... but it doesn't try to too hard define what is porn and what is art or educational.

    Despite low funds, I send #sonTwo a $47 weather "station". It features an indoor display (LCD) and up to four outdoor sensors. It does temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure, which it uses to predict storms.

    I wanted to send one with the wind sensor (spinny cups and turning arrow) and precipitation measurer, but it was four times the price.

    Some argue that the #UK coronation was unimportant, but I say their royals have outsized power to affect world events, so even if one wishes to abolish the monarchy, the event still matters. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65502234 [www bbc com]
