@XRPeuphoria_ @RepvblicReset @marshal_xrp_moe @ModusOperandice Trump has the evidence. He said he would release. He didn't release it. 1/2
@XRPeuphoria_ @RepvblicReset @marshal_xrp_moe @ModusOperandice And this is a pattern. Once again, Trump had evidence that he said would show he did nothing wrong. He said he'd release it. He did not. Why do you think that is? 2/2
@XRPeuphoria_ @RepvblicReset @marshal_xrp_moe @ModusOperandice Also, his pattern of using Twitter to lie to the people of the United States is unprecedented and disturbing.
@XRPeuphoria_ @RepvblicReset @marshal_xrp_moe @ModusOperandice And you know what, I don't even really care about any of this. It's petty compared to the fact that to be a good President you have to be a good boss, and Trump is quite possibly the worst boss in all of history.
@XRPeuphoria_ @RepvblicReset @marshal_xrp_moe @ModusOperandice His consistent pattern of punishing loyalty and rewarding disloyalty is a shocking thing to witness, thereby surrounding himself with people who don't have the loyalty to be honest with him as he bullies experts into agreeing with his feelings and hunches.

About eight years ago, a bear attacked my chicken coop. Image
I was a bit puzzled about what to do when something like this happens. So I called the county and told them that a bear had attacked my chicken coop.
So they bounced me to the correct department and I described what had happened. They asked me a bunch of basic question -- where I lived, whether anyone had seen the bear, and so on.

When I was in Morocco, I remember noticing some subtle ways that women were treated as inferior. And I remember at the time, I even found it amusing. 1/x
One example was my wife being asked, in a clothing store, which shirt she thought her husband would prefer her to have rather than which she wanted. Some were more serious. And I even found myself thinking it's nice to live some place that doesn't do that. 2/x
Of course, only a man could think that. Of course we do that in the US. In millions of small and not small ways. I'm sure you've all heard stories of women in tech who were questioned or doubted in ways men would almost certainly not have been. 3/x

@XrpMr and @MikeV_XRP : Just saw your question a few months ago about transaction fees on XRPL. To a first approximation, if there's X txns per ledger, you just have to pay more than X-1 txns. But here's the gory details:
Each XRPL server maintains an "open ledger" that it test applies txns to. This is how it determines if a txn seems likely to succeed. When the ledger closes, validators take the txns in this ledger as their initial proposal.
There are three ways to get into those open ledgers and thus in a validator's proposal. The first is if you are rejected in a previous consensus round. Those go in first.

I recorded an episode of Block Stars today with my colleague, @justmoon and it was awesome. It will probably wind up being two episodes because we covered so much.
One interesting thing we talked about was why we decided not to build smart contracts into the XRP Ledger. And we did something that it never occurred to me to do before.
Ethereum, of course, made the opposite choice. They build smart contracts into their blockchain directly. We decided not to. So, with the benefit of everything we know now and with Ethereum for contrast, ...

My daughter sends me the coolest stuff! Image
In sad news, I managed to sprain my ankle. I'm prone to ankle sprains but this is my worst sprain in 20 years. Image
Sorry for the gross photo. That doesn't look like a human foot. Fortunately, I'm not going anywhere for a while anyway.

It occurs to me that most disagreements about cancel culture aren't actually about cancel culture. I think there's broad agreement that bad enough speech ought to lead to professional consequences and that people should be free to express views somewhat outside the mainstream ...
... without undue fear of professional consequences. What people disagree about is whether particular speech instances are bad enough to justify such consequences. So if two people disagree over, say, JK Rowling's speech deserves such consequences, their disagreement is ...
... about that nature of that particular speech. That is, they don't disagree about cancel culture but about trans rights. And so there's not much point in disagreeing about cancel culture or debating it because it's almost never the real issue.
