BTC was around $65,000 a couple years back, no? I wonder how much of the current price of $28,000 is propped up by lost thumb drives , or wallets seized by authorities - limited supply rather than continued speculation.


BTC seized by authorities is regularly sold for market value.


Mostly propped up by "stable"coins


They do mention confederate flags on display, which is hard to imagine not being seen as political if not racial even in the South in 2023.


They also mentioned playing the song Dixie during the nightly sing-along


Sorry, do you mean the “un-educated” in your first paragraph? I’m having trouble understanding how the educated are the ones who resist education.


Look at HN. People who are good at programming who know nothing about anything else, but post like they do.


Often people think they knw things they don't. Their cup is full already.


Yes, fixed.


I think they do


Your description immediately brought the satirical town of Scarfolk to mind.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarfolk


With no other (non-human) life , humans could not exist .


Indeed, which is why I call myself an environmentalist. I just mean that other life surviving without humans isn't good enough for me, I want the human race to continue in some form.

It’s possible to convert a shapefile to Mapbox Vector Tiles, convert those to PMTiles and host them in a bucket in just a three commands.

aws s3 cp dataset.pmtiles s3://bucket/output.pmtiles


My friends mom attended this. She mentioned that the wool that was used in the later stages was dyed and clearly wasn’t the same wool they sheared at the beginning. Still a cool concept.


While a little disappointing at first, after thinking about it I suppose they have to use the dyed stuff instead. Otherwise they won't be able to get the impressive patterns and artwork that are part of the point of the competition.


From the video in the article, the warp and pattern are preset on the loom by each team and they use the shorn wool for the weft.
