Not sure there is an escape route left for Conservatives. Possibly a caretaker who promises not to stand at next election and follows Boris manifesto to the letter just to see them through next couple of years with a new (or returning) leader coming in for 2024 election. Maybe that. Maybe. Anything else (Truss stays on, someone who took down Boris takes over or someone fiercely anti Brexit) isn’t going to wash. It is guaranteed national election and Labour landslide.

UK media (BBC, Sky News): How can you keep your Chancellor in post after that disastrous budget? You surely must sack him.

Chancellor sacked

UK media: How can you sack your Chancellor? You are throwing him under the bus.

Nice to know even PMs can be victims of gaslighting I forget victims of gaslighting was last year's issue. We don't care about that issue anymore.

Horrendous. Media is a disgrace.

New UK Chancellor of the Exchequer @KwasiKwarteng in 2015: “People who can game the system, a system which relies on printing huge amounts of paper currency, are going to be in a much more advantageous position than the average person” 👀 #bitcoin If the UK media wasn’t so useless they’d cover this and books he’s written including on War and Gold. Instead all they cover is race and etiquette at royal funerals 🙄

.@btcazores 2nd day 2pm: Signet update w/ @0xB10C, @josibake and others. Signet is a better testnet but there have been proposals to add manufactured re-orgs to Signet and soft fork proposals to Signet. Not too much interest in adding re-orgs to signet so far. fork.observer could support visualizations of signet re-orgs. How long should they be, how often etc. For example once a day or once a week.

.@btcazores 2pm: @LLFOURN discusses DLCs using BLS signatures. BLS avoids the randomness (nonce) requirement in the signature (versus say Schnorr) with a unique signature per message. eprint.iacr.org/2022/499.pdf Not sure how Fedimint fits in. You can have a federation of oracles signing a DLC outcome but other participants in the DLC don't need to be within the Fedimint.

I have met and got to know a statistically significant number of men and women in my life. The premise that men and women are the same and want the same things from a mate (assuming heterosexuality) is beyond laughable. You can shame me and attempt to cancel me but that’s all. Now you can claim those differences are caused entirely by societal factors. I think this is also nonsense but it is an interesting topic of discussion (nature vs nurture). But on the men and women don’t have differences topic, nah. The data has spoken.
