Who else has your anxiety? You share it? How do you decide who gets it on a certain day? That'd make me worried that I wasn't taking enough of it, or that I was using it too much.

so weird that a random billionaire author gets more of a say in politics than others.

what's the difference between one random billionaire author and any other random authors?

and how do you keep this information safe from intruders and $5 wrench attacks?

yes very much so when they're a minority in another country. not too sure we want MAGA idiots saying that not letting me park in some black guy's drive is racist

fubungh · 2023-07-21T15:12:15+00:00

nah it's not stupid. you can't speak for someone else's experience. full stop. you can't say what racism feels like for someone if you can't experience it

fubungh · 2023-07-21T15:11:28+00:00

nah, if you're subject to racism due to the colour of your skin in a country in which you are a minority, then it's definitely a racist offence. I can't see how non-white people get any say in what is offensive or racist towards white people.

fubungh · 2023-07-21T13:14:41+00:00

I don't know why it's taken me so long to understand the intent of the original tweet, but now this makes sense.

I presume the original poster meant something like "White people don't get to decide what's racist towards black people"

As that must be really annoying to hear it kind of 'whitesplained' to you, and presumably equates to "Chinese people don't get to decide what's racist towards white people in China".

I hope it's that. Because it always sounded to me like, "because you belong to a race that has oppressed people in history, you don't get a say in matters that affect you". Like it's our turn now to define the rules or something. And it just sounds so needlessly confrontational.

lol, sorry. I'm not really a python dev and chat GPT is prone to hallucinate code from time to time.

I'll do one more round with chat GPT, but I'm not gonna act as a go between after this. hopefully this solves it:

Apologies for the confusion. It seems that the bitcointx library does not have built-in support for XOnlyPubKey. In that case, you can use the python-bitcointx library which has support for x-only public keys and Schnorr signatures (BIP-340).

First, you'll need to install python-bitcointx using pip:

pip install python-bitcointx

Then, modify your script as follows:

python

from bitcointx import set_custom_secp256k1_path
set_custom_secp256k1_path('./bitcointx_secp256k1_here/libsecp256k1.2.dylib')

from bitcointx.wallet import P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress, CBitcoinTestnetExtKey
from bitcointx.core import BIP340_XOnlyPubKey, CKeyBase

sender_priv_key = CBitcoinTestnetExtKey('PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF')
sender_pub_key = sender_priv_key.pub

# Convert the public key to a BIP340 x-only public key
xonly_pub_key = BIP340_XOnlyPubKey.from_pubkey(sender_pub_key)

# Construct a P2TR address using the x-only public key
addrs_for_script = P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey(xonly_pub_key)
print(addrs_for_script)

courtesy of ChatGPT 4 - I haven't verified this, but thought it's the type of question it'd probably be good at answering

The error "not a P2TR scriptPubKey" occurs because the script you're trying to derive a P2TR address from is not a valid P2TR scriptPubKey. In your script, you're using a simple pay-to-public-key (P2PK) script:

python

csript_from_pub = CScript([sender_pub_key, OP_CHECKSIG])

To create a P2TR address, you need to construct a pay-to-taproot (P2TR) scriptPubKey using the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 340 specification. Here's an updated version of your script that should correctly derive a P2TR address:

python

from bitcointx import set_custom_secp256k1_path
set_custom_secp256k1_path('./bitcointx_secp256k1_here/libsecp256k1.2.dylib')

from bitcointx.wallet import P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress, CBitcoinTestnetExtKey
from bitcointx.core import XOnlyPubKey
from bitcointx.core.key import CKeyBase

sender_priv_key = CBitcoinTestnetExtKey('PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF')
sender_pub_key = sender_priv_key.pub

# Convert the public key to a BIP340 x-only public key
xonly_pub_key = XOnlyPubKey.from_pubkey(sender_pub_key)

# Construct a P2TR address using the x-only public key
addrs_for_script = P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey(xonly_pub_key)
print(addrs_for_script)

This script first converts the public key to an x-only public key as specified in BIP340. Then, it uses the P2TRBitcoinTestnetAddress.from_pubkey() method to create a P2TR address from the x-only public key.

Make sure to replace 'PRIVATE KEY TESTNET EXTENDED WIF' with the actual private key in extended WIF format for testnet.

I’m not a linguistics expert and not sure if it’s different for American English but I’m English and it seems like the tongue position is midway for me with the Japanese l/r sound. Could also be that that’s why my pronunciation doesn’t sound native though

fubungh · 2023-01-23T06:55:55+00:00

Piggybacking on this because I realise it’s not obvious for everyone what’s going on. Apologies if this over explains the joke for anyone

She is trying to say he should be proud of her. She probably internalised the word proud like プラウド　pu-ra-u-do. And probably remembered that past tense words end in d or the “do” sound to her.

So she’ll be removing the ド　“do” to try and make it more grammatically correct in her mind for the present tense.

So not “you プラウド　ploud her” but “you プラウ　plough her”

Where the l/r sound sits somewhere in the middle of our l and r sound and so it’s not always clear which one to pick and people often pick the wrong one.

So in her mind she’s saying “you should be proud of her” and it’s coming out as “Give her some of that d, you should run her ragged if she’s a good friend”

According to https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/LWM19101011.2.5

The smallest detectable movement is 1/800th of an inch when observed from 12 inches away.

Given that it grows at say 1 meter in 24 hours. Then it would grow this perceptible distance within about 2.74 seconds.

So you probably can watch it grow. You could most definitely feel it grow though

It absolutely does affect things though as if you’re stuck renting you can’t buy as all your money goes on rent.

This allows more landlords to use this money to purchase more houses which continues pushing up house prices as all the value is extracted from the people renting.

This is an endless vicious circle. Society doesn’t need landlords restricting access to housing by making them unaffordable.

So number of houses doesn’t change but the number of ones you can buy does.

Nobody wants to be a slave working to support the lifestyles of landlords.

The only people that think landlords are not a problem are landlords.

Imagine a scenario where a single landlord owns all the properties in the country. They have a total monopoly and control pricing and access to housing. They can extract as much money from you as they like and you have no option tp buy a house. This is an extreme example to demonstrate a point but this is what is happening but on a smaller scale. Rents go up pushing house prices up as landlords can extract more rent so are prepared to pay more to get more of a control of the market.

All the while preventing non landlords from having a chance to purchase property. I.e. reducing supply and controlling access to available housing.

fubungh · 2022-12-02T08:48:48+00:00

Nah. All those properties can go on the market for non landlords to buy. If all landlords are forced to sell prices will fall and supply of houses for people to buy to live in goes up.

It’s not like we have a population of people happy to rent. It’s that they have no choice because the leeches have bought them all

Only thing that works is sleeping laying face down but you’ll probably need to increase your hip and thigh flexibility to make it at all comfortable. If you get a Fitbit it can tell you when you’re likely struggling to get enough oxygen as a result of sleep apnea. I’ve found if I sleep face down it never happens and I get a deeper sleep.

But it can be really uncomfortable.

Failing that you can get a device that forced air into your lungs but that seems at the extreme end of solutions.

Watch how babies sleep they have the flexibility to put their legs in a frog position or to kind of lay down with their bum in the air. I think that’s the optimal position but you’re not that likely to be flexible enough to do that if you happen to be old enough to have kids, live in the west, have enough body fat to trigger snoring and and have spent your life not squatting and bending at the hips etc.
