Good Morning #Canada
It's a slow historical news day, except for Walter Gretzky's birthday, so time for another post on provincial governmental cities. Today, we present some history on Ottawa, which is not a provincial capital but somehow was lucky enough to be chosen as the capital of Canada. In the 1800s, Upper Canada moved their capital like a traveling circus, so in the 1850s a competition arose between Quebec City, Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, and some muddy lumber town that until recently was named Bytown. An unbiased expert on Canadian geography and regional governments was selected to choose the permanent capital of Upper Canada - Queen Victoria. There was no chance that a French speaking city was going to be chosen by the British monarch, and Kingston and Toronto were too close to those pesky Americans who liked to invade us every decade or so. So Ottawa, in the middle of nowhere, was the obvious choice.

Un très court article sur l'agriculture urbaine Š Québec aux années 1970 (avec, en prime, un bref rappel des années 1930).
« Une mauvaise herbe est une plante qui a maîtrisé toutes les compétences de survie, sauf celle d’apprendre Š grandir dans le rang. Soyez une mauvaise herbe... »

QUÉBEC DISPARUE | Les enfants du premier jardin communautaire en 1977

A note on the mechanism of substitution of labour with capital in the production processes
Considering the production processes, it was noted that the use of various equipment leads to an increase in output -- the phenomenon that is usually described as the substitution of labor with capital. The proposed theory of substitution is based on the assumption that not the quantity of capital (production equipment) does substitute labor, but rather its ability to operate similar to the workers. This is the true content of the substitution of labor by capital. To formulate a correct mechani…

BATTLE for Bitcoin: Capital-Efficient Optimistic Bridges with Large Committees
We present BATTLE for Bitcoin, a DoS-resilient dispute layer that secures optimistic bridges between Bitcoin and rollups or sidechains. Our design adapts the BATTLE tournament protocol to Bitcoin's UTXO model using BitVM-style FLEX components and garbled circuits with on-demand L1 security bonds. Disputes are resolved in logarithmic rounds while recycling rewards, keeping the honest asserter's minimum initial capital constant even under many permissionless challengers. The construction is fully…
