First newspaper I've bought in 18 years. Hopefully some high enough resolution images here that everyone can read the content.
Front cover, inside spread and last inside page.
It was £1.60 - which was surprising. I think it was 40p last time I bought one. Maybe that's (very fittingly today) due to inflation and a need to cover losses as they continue to be replaced by less centralised sources of news ;-)
Missed the back page out!
Here's some higher quality images from The Times 3rd January 2019 (on a web page for those that wanted to download or print them) @Coinosphere @CashProtocols

Birthday Poem
1/5
Ten years ago, the whitepaper's released
Is Satoshi still out there, alive or deceased?

Many lost money with the fall of MtGox
Trust me says 'Jesus', we need bigger blocks!

Suits in New York said it's miners that 'voted'
With SW2X our objections were #noted
2/5
 Shaolinfry released code, let us stand up and fight
The power of nodes would soon come to light

Samson made hats and others they bought them
This was one way the community fought 'em

Nodes were updated, articles written
Luke-jr fought hard, that was a given
3/5
 The1Brand7 wrote a wonderful piece
'bout money and nodes and value increase

Segwit went live, free from its captor
The price soared high off community rapture

Twenty, no six... does the price really matter?
Be it low or high (I prefer the latter)

A short Sunday tale...
1/ A group of people find the ideal offices to work from, lovely environment, well furnished and situated close to where they all live. It's perfect. They collectively hire security guards who they pay well on a daily contract basis. All is well until...
2/ The security guards have a meeting and decide that they don't like commuting to work. They decide that the following week they won't turn up at the offices but instead will guard a different, vacant building closer to where *they* all live.
3/ They tell the happy office workers that they will need to relocate their equipment and travel to the new location or risk having no security next week. The office folk shrug and put out an advert for new security staff. "Turn up and get paid!" is the simple-to-fulfill offer.

1/ BCash's 1 min block proposal and attempts to make 0-conf safe are nasty fudges to work around inherent restraints in the base layer already solved by layered protocols. The more of these hacked "work arounds" that come to light the more clear it is they chose the wrong path...
2/ Scaling through block size increases alone compromises decentralisation and introduces trust. Trusting 0-conf requires you ignore why a blockchain and PoW were required in the first place. 1 minute blocks compromises security, changes inflation etc.
3/ I don't know how much longer they can keep willfully deceiving themselves until they consider that the near universally accepted method of network scaling through layered protocols might have been the right choice all along... but it will be a fair while yet I imagine.

Kavanaugh's best buddy from high school, Mark Judge has written extensively about a life of binge drinking, blackouts & assaults on women

Judge Kozinski was Kavanaugh's mentor. He resigned in 2017 after articles in the Washington Post exposed years of sexual harassment

#ENOUGH
What is this woman's name?

Mark Judge, “I tried to make it with a bridesmaid - please tell me I didn’t hurt her.”

Denny reassured Judge that he didn't hurt her, though he had made a “serious lunge”

Friends pulled him off her & got him out of the bar

About Kavanaugh's mentor.

"Kozinski exposed us to this sort of material almost every day of the clerkship. The only way that Kavanaugh could not recall any comments about sexual matters would be if he had amnesia about the clerkship in its entirety."

So Nvidia just showed their new RTX cards that can do real-time ray tracing, but a lot of gamers are asking "what exactly is the big deal about ray tracing?"

So here's my try at an educational thread. Expect a lot of over-simplifications since I'm just an artist and not a coder.
Firstly, we need to see how games are traditionally rendered using a technique called "rasterization".

At the basic level, it's just a check of the boundaries of a polygon against a pixel grid, and filling all the pixels in between.
Here's a gif that better shows off how it works:

Y’all might want to start listening to “hysterical women” and victims of emotional/psychological abuse cause that’s what this shit is, and we’ve been saying it for years.
People voted for Trump because he “speaks his mind”, while either ignoring or identifying with the fact that his mind is cesspit bubbling out words as his narcissism dictates.
Narcissists are pathological liars who need to be liked by whoever is in front of them. Yesterday that was Putin, today it’s angry Americans. Tomorrow who knows?

MEGA-THREAD: Body Langauge Analysis No. 4221: Why are Donald Trump's Pupils Intermittently So Large? - Nonverbal and Emotional Intelligence
#DonaldTrump #Pupils #LargePupils #Nonverbal #EmotionalIntelligence #bodylanguage #EQ
1/ Why are Donald Trump's pupils intermittently so large?

You probably haven't noticed, but President Trump's pupils are intermittently much larger than normal (the intermittent pattern is crucial).
2/ From a medical standpoint, this is not at all subtle or to be dismissed - on the contrary, it is glaring. Sirens Blaring. Red flashing lights.

I write this article with the expertise of both an ophthalmologist as well as a body language expert.
