'Unhosted wallets will not be permissible in the UK', says Sarah Breeden of the @bankofengland. It's likely time to recall one of the very best pieces of writing on the subject from the much-missed Gigi. Are you prepared to outlaw thought itself, Sarah?

Idiotic statements like this are made when policy is prepared by those who do not understand technology, and lack the intellectual curiosity to try. I’m far from a defender of stablecoins (for me they retain all the disadvantages of fiat currencies, not least of which being the peg to a currency controlled by a central bank). But I recognise at least that they exist, and that people use them, and the technology has certain properties. At the same time, I try very hard not to publicly call out people for rank stupidity, even when (like the @bankofengland here) they clearly deserve it. Saying ‘self hosted wallets will not be permitted under the UK’s stablecoin regime’ is a statement of such monumental, such overweening, stupidity, that it is hard to formulate a sensible response. Perhaps there is no point in trying. Let them say this, and then let everyone in the UK simply continue to use their ‘self-hosted wallets’ (ie ‘wallets’) without paying them a second’s more attention.

btw "open specification proposed to the IETF" means that a proposal has been submitted to the IETF as a formal *draft* for consideration the progression is internet draft --> proposed standard --> internet standard extremely ultra rare to reach the "internet standard" stage for MPP to be accepted as "THE" standard of agentic payments, it needs to reach "proposed standard" stage. which in itself can take several months to years "Proposed Standard" is already considered sufficient for deployment, but it takes yeaaarrsssss to get here HTTP/1.1 took ~15 years from first draft to the "Internet Standard" (3rd and final stage). OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749) has been widely deployed for 13+ years and is still only "proposed standard" (the second stage)

I am inclined to think that MPP will be a better standard than x402 because it’s written by payments people

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if @tempo gets Anthropic and OpenAI to use their machine payments standard then that will be the standard

Just recorded with @gakonst on Tempo mainnet. Indisputably cool tech and well executed. Maybe they do bring the world to stablecoin payments - starting with AI. Certified OGs on the team. Couldn't help feeling disappointed this wasn't Ethereum. Tempo is definitely its own chain. Some value will flow back to Ethereum I'm sure, though not directly. Episode on @Bankless tomorrow. I'd like to hear what you think.

/r/mildlyinteresting In Portugal you pay up to €7.50 when you buy a laptop called a "copyright levy" You pay €4/TB of storage in the computer, so for a MacBook Neo 13" with 512GB that's €2.05 It's regulation made in 1998 to compensate artists for you illegally sharing MP3 files which nowadays of course doesn't make sense anymore since we have Spotify and YouTube Much of the money doesn't even arrive with artists btw, 30% is taken by the organization collecting the tax and lot of it remains unclaimed and some of that goes again to the organization collecting the tax as "operational costs" 🤡

Oral sex has overtaken smoking as the primary driver of throat cancer. In a significant shift in oncology, the human papillomavirus (HPV) has replaced tobacco and alcohol as the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer. This specific strain, most commonly HPV-16, targets the tonsils and the back of the throat, where it can persist and replicate. While the body clears most HPV infections, persistent cases can trigger cellular changes that evolve into malignancy over time. Currently, HPV is responsible for approximately 70% to 85% of all throat cancer diagnoses in several Western nations, marking a public health turning point. Research indicates that the risk of contracting this cancer is directly linked to sexual history, as the virus is primarily transmitted through oral sex. Studies show that a higher number of lifetime sexual partners correlates with a greater risk of infection, with men being significantly more susceptible to oral HPV than women. Public health experts emphasize that HPV vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure, particularly when administered to young adults, alongside increased awareness of the risks associated with oral transmission. source: The Conversation. HPV-related throat cancer: Oral sex is now a leading risk factor. The Conversation.

A lot of "Big brand" cities in Europe are actually quite bad, and I always recommend people to skip them 🇧🇪 Brussels 🇩🇪 Berlin 🇬🇧 London 🇳🇱 Amsterdam 🇮🇹 Rome… Overrated There are WAY better options hiding in plain sight: 🇵🇱 Wrocław 🇵🇹 Porto 🇨🇿 Prague 🇭🇺 Budapest 🇮🇹 Garda Social media told me each one was boring, irrelevant, or "not worth the trip"... And every single time, reality was the opposite Don't get carried away by "popular knowledge". It's almost always wrong
