Abuse and Buddhism: Behind the Smiling Façade
Buddhism in the West is in a crisis. For years, it had benefited from a reputation too good to be true. Only now are victims of sexual abuse, corruption and cultic behaviour finally beginning to speak out.

Was ich auch nicht verstehe: Badehosen mit Doppelbund. Also Shorts, die aussehen, als hätte man eine Unterhose darunter an.
Ich denke dann immer zuerst, dass die Person ihre Badehose vergessen hat.

"Objective-C is a West Coast language. Objective-C is a hippie. You throw stuff at it and it just trusts you. “Peace maaaaaannn… if you say this is an NSArray I believe you…” and it leans back in its armchair, smoking weed, listening to Marley, Floyd, Doors, or Janis, looking at you with deep eyes, telling you stories about Buddhism and how important is ecology, and that tonight they are going to a retreat in the beach to pray for Yemanjš and the salvation of dolphins."

Am I the only one who can't help reading this in Zap Brannigan's voice?
Speaking to a group of reporters earlier this month, Musk implied that DOGE is self-sustaining and could carry on without him. “DOGE is a way of life,” he told them, “like Buddhism.”

Mela: "ich habe eine gute Nachricht, eine mittelschlechte und eine schlechte. Welche willst du zuerst hören."
Bernd: "Die Schlechte."
Mela: "Wir können unseren Badezimmer-Rolladen nie wieder schließen."
Bernd: "Warum?"
Mela: "Kommen wir zur Mittelschlechten: wir haben einen Untermieter, aber er wird keine Miete zahlen."

Mela: "Nun die Gute. Ich weiß, wo das Eichhörnchen hinverschwunden ist.…

Just had one of those moments where the dataset I've been given is not what they told me it was.
I said "Fuck it I'm going home.". Only to realize I was already home.
So, now I'm going for a walk.

The Redundancy of Full Nodes in Bitcoin: A Network-Theoretic Demonstration of Miner-Centric Propagation Topologies
This paper formally examines the network structure of Bitcoin CORE (BTC) and Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) using complex graph theory to demonstrate that home-hosted full nodes are incapable of participating in or influencing the propagation topology. Leveraging established models such as scale-free networks and small-world connectivity, we demonstrate that the propagation graph is dominated by a densely interconnected miner clique, while full nodes reside on the periphery, excluded from all tra…
