> Aren't sales of Bitcoin for Tether taxable anyway?

Maybe in US, but not everywhere. For example in Poland where I live crypto to crypto transactions are not taxable.

Just playing the series for the first time, you made me laugh.

Did you listen?

I don't think it's open. Looking on the web page it reports all fitness data, but not notifications, but one can't be sure without checking the actual communication.

> last up to a week of battery life, do basic things like allow you to get and read notifications, and be a watch.

Actually there is something that does that, my favorite watch: https://www.withings.com/us/en/steel-hr

The battery lasts a month. The only thing which would improve it would be NFC payments, but one can't have it all.

Also looks good IMO.

I'm curious - do you really consider trackpoint better than apple touchpads?

Nope, I think what he said and what he thinks are different things.

It seems to me that other cryptos or even CBDCs in the form of centralized databases will be used for that - to distract people from Bitcoin.

Even Varoufakis understands that Bitcoin is good for the individuals, but not for the governments because it can't be controlled.

Not tried that but I've heard it's even possible to build custom Android distros.

I guess because the language is more expressive.

That's a different thing than running Linux natively.

My guess would be Linux support if one wants to use it instead of OSX.

I have StarBook MK IV and also love it. Works great with NixOS.

Seems like an unintentional mistake though.

> It amazes me that developers pick closed source Jetbrains

JetBrains Intellij Idea Community Edition is open source

Looking at the other items it seems that the author prefers open source / cross-platform software / services where possible.

> One thing I'd love to see, is a TUI editor that focuses on providing hooks for developers to build deeper integration with various frameworks into the editor and it's autocomplete.

Sounds like emacs in text mode

> Bitcoin requires custom hardware.

No, it doesn't. We're talking about validating network consensus, that's what validator node do, not the mining nodes.

Intellij Idea Community Edition with Kotlin support as well. Also free as freedom and free beer.

Never heard of headscale before. Doesn't it require the control server to be accessible publicly?

As far as I know the final effect is great - getting reproducible, statically linked programs.

However, learning Nix / NixOS is quite difficult - it requires a specific set of skills (functional programming, shell, Nix building blocks which you can learn from existing Nix code), the documentation is lacking, error messages are cryptic, debugging support is bad.

> Chose boring technology

Doesn't fit in this case, I'd say Nix is still cutting edge.

It may also be simple, but it's not easy (in the Rich Hickey sense).

That may be a stupid question, but how would the user know that the form was actually submitted?

Not sure if Clojure is considered niche, but anyway I do it because it's the most fun programming language for me.

That's cool we agree on Bitcoin clones value. They don't matter.

As easy as making Facebook clone. Good luck with getting people to use it.

Again, not issue with Bitcoin but other crypto. If you can "make" money, you can buy anything.

> Yes, so crypto is just like fiat but without regulations or safe guards or insurance.

That's why I'm not a fan of crypto in general, only of Bitcoin

> It's hard to manipulate the quantity of bitcoin --- not so hard to manipulate the price of bitcoin.

True, but I guess it's easy to do that with every small market. I'd imagine the bigger the market capitalization, number of participants the harder it would be to manipulate the price.

> What happens if the biggest player has an unlimited supply of money they can just mint at will and use it to drive up the price that you pay?

That's what central banks do, and a lot of cryptocurrencies. It's very very hard to do though with Bitcoin.

> Who determines how much your crypto is worth?

As with other things - the people who want or don't want to buy it.
