A New HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth conference last month) had an incredibly high vibe, thanks to the 1200 people who collectively made it so. Here's my photos from my 2 weeks in NYC, including a few from the conference:

I think the main reason they sanctioned tornado cash was so that they can later prosecute any US persons who send funds there as having violated sanctions.

the status (decentralized wallet/chat ethereum app) has a terms of use that i have to agree to to launch the app. it says "you agree to use the status app in a way that doesn't harm or violate the rights of status, status app users, or others in any way".

the problem is that the app is supposedly f/oss.

github.com/status-im/status-mo

so apparently if your smart contract gets sanctioned, you lose your personal github account.

sounds reasonable

why are you fools still using github?

international law should focus more on global-scale hazmat than frangible ammunition:

It really shouldn't be legal to leave spent fuel above ground (or underground in things that can leak).

Finland solved this problem. The USA almost did with Yucca Mountain, but stopped and now all the hazmat is just sitting in thousands of rusty insecure sheds, waiting to leak into groundwater.

When I watched Lain for the first time, I couldn't understand how does Lain fill the entire room with equipment. A bunch of servers and workstations? Quite understandable. But racks and racks of random equipment, like, what?

/me looks at things around me.
Now I know.

By the age of 30 you should be fluent in writing assembly for at least 3 obsolete 8-bit architectures

Just 4 to 6 weeks left until schools reopen and children will spread BA.5 like wildfire because after three years of COVID we still can't get our shit together in the slightest to prevent a deadly airborne disease to slaughter and maim innocent people.
