In Europe, Philips in the '50's introduced Natrium lights for streets and highways. This orange 'single spectrum' light has 2 big advantages: (1) low electricity usage and (2) the human eye does not get night blinded , because the orange light only triggers the cones in the eyes , but not the rods.
That's why https://blossom.primal.net/bed11174aa821348312f5b2b37420caa235abb7db00a3581b74b301ec4f69652.jpg BMW had 'orange only' display in their cars for decades. (This knowledge has been lost on newer generation of car engineers ).

Jack, Gold flipped Bitcoin multiple times.
Bitcoin is now at the same gold-price level as in the beginning of 2021.
So the last 4 1/2 years have not been too good for Bitcoin, relative to gold. https://blossom.primal.net/8869924d0f4a4a994bcc648d6aa426864f1bfa34c3feeccbd93044c7ae7b1dbd.jpg

I don't worship him nor his policies. But I do think his policies on crime is the best obtainable in that country in the situation it was.
The world is very imperfect, especially in the most dangerous countries in the world.
So to criticise his policies without presenting an alternative approach that would stop the killing AND adhere to abstract human rights in a country like ES, bears no value to me.
If each gang member was prosecuted individually, with 3 levels of court procedure, that would have taken years, failed, and the gang members would have increased their street violence and murdered judges, lawyers etc.
For now, each year about 5000 innocent families are happy that not a family member is killed. You want to take that improvement away?

Under the revised proposal, the new system would remain entirely optional and in public hands, with the data on the electronic IDs stored on users' smartphones rather than centrally.
Citizens can still choose to rely on a physical national identity card, which has been standard in Switzerland for decades.
To ease privacy concerns, a particular authority seeking information on a person – such as proof of age or nationality, for example – will only be able to check for those specific details.

I wouldn’t mind if the human rights in my country were destroyed in case the number of murders were decreased by more that 90%. That’s thousands of lives saved per year. And people or no longer afraid to walk their dog in ES.

Canada's GDP per capita has been DECLINING in 2023 and 2024, leading to concerns about stagnating living standards. This trend is driven by strong population growth (fueled by immigration) outpacing economic growth, resulting in a decline in per-person wealth and a widening economic gap with countries like the United States.
Key details of the decline:
Declining trend:
Canada's real GDP per capita declined by 1.3% in 2023 and 1.4% in 2024.

GM Frens, want to learn more about premium olive oils? (Premium meaning *real* 'extra virgin', unavailable in most supermarkets).
Look at this Dutch importer of Tunesian Premium Olive oils. The descriptions of the 6 types of oil it sells are rich in smell and taste and polyphenols properties. Educational !
Example:
CHEMLELI
•POLYPHENOLS LEVEL: 1,434 MG/KG. This extra virgin olive oil is made from the cold extraction of 100% Chemleli olives. Chemleli is a 100% Tunisian olive variety. It is the most planted variety in Tunisia due to its ability to adapt to the summer heat and cold winters in the orchards. It is a robust variety that was already admired by the Romans for its delicious olive oil. This olive oil has a delicate taste with aromas of green almond, banana and tomato, and a medium pungency. It pairs well with salads, eggs, white cheeses, chicken, fish, and sandwiches.
•Health properties:
Polyphenol value: 1,434 mg/liter (ultra high!). Polyphenols are the antioxidants that make our olive oils so extremely healthy.
Rich in vitamins E and K, Omega 3 and 6, and squalene
100% organic. The entire production is free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
•Awards
The Chemleli has won the following prices in international olive oil competitions:
Gold in Mario Solinas, Spain (2024), the most prestigious international olive oil competition in the world.
Gold in BIOL, Italy (2024). The BIOL award is one of the most important international awards dedicated to extra virgin olive oil produced using organic farming techniques.
Selected by Leone D'Oro, Italy (2024) after being tested by their tasting panel. No organoleptic defects found.
(BTW, The shop only delivers to customers in the Netherlands, so just for educational purposes; I have no relation to the shop or owner).

Companies like IBM and (iirc) Google use quantum computers in labs purely as a marketing tool. Each year they proclaim a new success. “Now 4 qubits working!”.
So the average watcher will extrapolate and think: “In 10 or 20 years” the fully working QC will become available.
NOT considering the limits set by the laws of nature.
Time travel will be available sooner than quantum computers. (I mean: both never).

Bitcoin is a DISCOVERY, I posted this opinion of me on Reddit, 8 years ago:
“You see, Satoshi Nakamoto did not ‘invent’ the solutions to the distributed consensus problem. No, he *discovered* it. Distributed consensus is a math problem (aka Byzantine Generals' Problem) , and Satoshi found a solution and very likely the only solution. Pythagoras discovered the a2+b2=c2 properties of a rectangular triangle, and the properties are perpetual, independent of the discovery of those by Pythogoras.
…
I do not want to do Satoshi short, but I think it is the same with the Nakamoto Consensus, the Bitcoin way consensus is reached in a distributed open (anyone can connect, without permission) network of nodes.
….
The stroke of genius was to link 3 things in 1 proces: the validation of transactions, the reward by coinage of new coins in a lottery-like scheme and the costs of participating (solving an energy consuming puzzle), making attacks too expensive to undertake fraudulent activities.
….
It takes the stroke of genius to discover something fundamental at true academic level. Smart ass geeks can develop new technology but Bitcoin is not about technology, it is about a fundamental solution to a long standing math problem.
…
The search for a useful 'blockchain technology' will go on and will prove to be in vain. Meanwhile Bitcoin, which offers value transfer on the protocol level on the Internet, will march on and grow and grow”
