@MorosKostas The waiting period should be ten years for immigrants from blue states.

Every red state should pass waiting periods on voter registration. You show up and register, go through a ten-day waiting period, then show up again to complete the registration. After all, voter registration rules merely "regulate conduct that occurs before a person" gets to vote. So sick of this bad-faith bullshit they'd never allow for any other right.

@MikeyFromUK @Not_the_Bee Starlink has much higher bandwidth. It can easily carry multiple high quality video streams.

@chrishabig @Not_the_Bee It that was true then how did starlink do it so well with HD video from multiple places

I checked on the live views from Artemis and have a serious question. Couldn't we have used a GoPro or something? The video looks like it was taken with a Nokia flip phone. They're still in earth orbit! Why is the signal disrupted like the aliens from Independence Day showed up?

@AndToddsaid Actually well before the case: #Wong_Kim_Ark" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St…

Hold up. I just learned something. Some time after the Supreme Court case, the parents of Wong Kim Ark moved back to China. That means that the assumptions the Supreme Court made regarding domicile and based its decision on were... wrong.

@niccruzpatane The number one rule for rocket launch coverage should be, "never cut away from the rocket". If you want to show spectators in lawn chairs, split screen or use picture in picture.

I will never take another SpaceX launch for granted again. This is a masterclass in every way. We are so lucky to have SpaceX.

@plzbepatient The quality of the image is heavily dependent on the bandwidth of the communications system. SpaceX streams over Starlink. NASA streams using lower bandwidth radio telemetry links that were designed decades ago.

NASA should hire SpaceX’s camera techs

@pbradleydunn @MCCCANM Departing to the south isn’t practical due to the steep terrain just south of the airport.

@MCCCANM Change the standard flow for winds out of the west to arrivals on 19L and 28R, departures on 19R and 28L. Would require some tight choreography to get the crossings timed up, but not too much more complex than what they already do. And the NIMBYs off of 19R will complain, but TS.

In 2001, the SFO airport released a study concluding that new runways needed to be built in the bay to separate traffic & reduce the need for visual approaches. The new runways would be far enough apart that parallel approaches could be made even in bad weather. To offset any environmental effects, they would preserve vast stretches of wetlands. The proposal was supported by politicians & airline executives, among others. Environmentalists killed the plan. 25 years later, the FAA effectively kneecapped the airport by restricting parallel approaches. Will SFO now build the new runways? I doubt it. CA can’t actually build things. High-speed rail boondoggle, the 2014 bond that was supposed to build 10 new reservoirs (9 are now cancelled, the last has not begun construction & may never), wildlife bridge, a capital renovation where politicians refuse to reveal the costs & un-auditable homeless spending. Even if a proposal was made today & put before voters, would I support it as a resident? No. Not because SFO doesn’t need it – it does – but because the project would take the trajectory of every other California project & just become a black hole for money to mysteriously vanish into with nothing to show for it while politicians refuse to audit it. The state can’t afford it anyway. We have a looming fiscal crisis unfolding slowly, but it will accelerate soon. So, I’m sad. SFO is kneecapped, the region’s existing infrastructure can’t absorb the overflow & I don’t believe it can build. There is a future here, but its a future of decline. My airline career here isn’t over, but the trajectory has changed. I doubt I’ll be displaced from the left seat, but the days of growth are over.

Smart.

This is true.

This seems important to share…a good read.

@Taurus4BTC Thank you for that explanation. It’s well done. I didn’t know that about the proposed bill and was thinking in general terms.

Good question. Yes, commodities are taxed on sale. But there's a difference the Parity Act creates. Stablecoins get a $200 de minimis exemption. Spend under $200, no taxable event. Bitcoin gets nothing. Every transaction, no matter how small, is taxable. Gold and foreign currency already qualify for the same exemption under IRS Section 988. In theory, you can buy coffee with gold and owe nothing if the gain is under $200. That's the discrimination. Not whether commodities are taxed at all, but whether there's a practical threshold that makes them usable as money.

The SEC says Bitcoin isn't a security. Congress wants to tax it like one anyway. Gary Gensler, the most aggressive SEC chair in history, called Bitcoin a commodity. Not a security. Bitcoin is a commodity under federal law. But the Parity Act treats it like a stock. The result is every Bitcoin transaction becomes a taxable event. Buy coffee with Bitcoin? Capital gains. Tip someone? Capital gains. Spend it like money? Tax event. That's not regulatory clarity. That's regulatory sabotage. Tax it like a commodity, it works as money. Tax it like a stock, it becomes unusable as money. The inconsistency is the point.

@theoilgod @Breaking911 What’s the question? A lot of the airplane structure survived the fire truck collision. None of it survived the building collision. Makes total sense.

@Breaking911 Wait a minute. If this is the airplane after colliding with a firetruck, then how did it go through those two tall buildings in New York 25 years ago..

🚨 HORROR FOOTAGE: Video shows Air Canada Flight AC8646 colliding with a Port Authority fire truck at LaGuardia Airport. Both pilots are dead. Dozens of passengers and two on the truck were injured. LGA remains closed as NTSB investigates.

@MCCCANM @BuzzPatterson The newer system can induce hypoxia but since it operates at constant pressure it can’t do rapid decompression.

@BuzzPatterson They have a different system now, no chamber required. Mixes in a gas to your mask at different levels.

Remember these fun days fellow aviators?

@schematic2126 @CBSNews All of them.

@CBSNews what kind of plane can do 90 degree turns?!

A pilot paid tribute to the three Ohio Air National Guardsmen who were among the six killed in a refueling aircraft crash in western Iraq.

@ViralVideos When they say “our democracy” they’re literally speaking of a government under their control. “Our” means democrat. It’s not a reference to Americans in general.

@mattkratter Why does bitnodes.io only link node runners to Core? Why not Knots too?

How BIP-110 Signaling Works

It took ONLY 6 days to go from ~6000 nodes to ~7000 BIP110 nodes. I wouldn't be surprised if we reach very close to 10000 BIP110 nodes in coming weeks/months when bitcoin gets attacked by OP_NET from next week. Successful activation of BIP110 will not end the career of just shitcoin core devs but fake (& gay) simpfluencers as well. LONG LIVE BITCOIN 🧡🧡🧡

Why does bitnodes.io only encourage people to run Core? Why not offer Knots too?

Bitcoin core nodes under core v30 need to make decisions now. If you want Bitcoin to be money, change to knots+BIP 110 or core v29 + BIP 110. The attack from Citrea/OPNET/100kb op_return/ordinals/runes towards Bitcoin is real.
