Cryptocurrency: DEX, Bloat, and Govts Love of Anti-Privacy Coins for Authoritarian SpyVeillance

https://decrypt.co/87768/cia-confirms-rumors-working-cryptocurrency-projects https://decrypt.co/66411/cia-bitcoin-surveillance 'Earlier this year, Morell called blockchain technology a "boon for surveillance" in a report, published by the Coinbase- and Square-led Crypto Council for Innovation. ... the public nature of transactions makes it an "underutilized forensic tool for governments..."' Crypto-privacy, and crypto-mobility to better cryptos via the freedom of anonymous uncensorable unstoppable crypto exchanges, are all requisite elements to the fulfillment of the promise of cryptocurrency. You knew that, but your short term greed and other flailings, including maxi-worship-discipleship, ignored that, thus letting the number of beasts boon up their tools for oppression against you. Develop, deploy, adopt, and use fully distributed cross-coin cross-layer0 anonymous DEX's, and privacy coins, and coins whose database size does not continue to grow forever up against the decidedly unguaranteed nature of Moore's law, and coins whose sole purpose is to move a numeric amount, etc. You are years behind in all these required bits of the game, you must invest and do them, now, today!

Decoding monitored quantum circuits
by professor rat 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Beni Yoshida : Decoding monitored quantum circuits (and black holes) Abstract: Given an output wavefunction of a monitored quantum circuit consisting of both unitary gates and projective measurements, we ask whether two complementary subsystems are entangled or not. For Clifford circuits, we find that this question can be mapped to a certain classical error-correction problem where various entanglement measures can be explicitly computed from the recoverability. . .

Jim Bell, communist.
by Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

Jim Bell vomited : > I blame, in large part, the people whose apparent timidity kept the vaccines away from kids under 18, up to 11 months after they were available initially for the oldest people. > older people needed it more. > keeping that large group unvaccinated meant that they represented a pool of potential infection that needed to be dealt with > more vomits. Ok, ignoring for a second the complete evil insanity that the flu farce is, what we have here is Jim Bell barefaedly promoting FREE GOVERNMENT VACCINES. That's right. What Jim Bell is barefacedly promoting is GOVERNMENT 'MEDICINE', aka 'socialized healthcare', aka communism. Governments are giving 'free healthcare' to their subjects, and communist Jim Bell is PROMOTING those government actions. To make this even more hilarious, the 'free' commie poison that governments give away come from the 'private' mafias that Jim Bell love so much like pfizer and co. So to be more accurate Bell is not only a commie promoting 'socialized healthcare', he's also a right-wing commie, aka fascist, working as marketing criminal for pfizer. This is the turd who wants to pose as 'anti government'.
