it’s not really paper keys then, but yeah i think the best solution for normal people is to just get a spare mac and use it as your hardware wallet.

how are you gonna use your paper keys when you want to spend some of your bitcoin? the private key has to touch a computer at some point.

i don’t think they would accept a pr given that someone from gitlab closed these issues on purpose and provided a reason. a few of them might have even been PRs, i forget

assigning reviewers is a major pain with gitlab. there have been multiple issues filed to support adding a group as a reviewer, only to have them closed by gitlab, saying thats not the ‘direction’ we’re going in. instead, you can do a /request_review @group in the description, but each person gets added individually so you can’t see which reviewers are in which group, you don’t know if you have the right groups to satisfy the codeowners files, etc. it’s such a mess.

gitlab is extremely bad compared to meta as well.

... The french contractors who built the tgv tried working with california in 2011 to build HSR here too. But they backed out, saying the bureacracy was too great and they were going to help Morocco instead. And guess who has high speed rail today? California or Morocco?

Morocco's high speed rail line opened in 2018.

Yeah I have heard about gambling sites doing this, but for prediction markets I dont think they can do that. But also how can they lock it before a home run happens unless they're just locking it on every at-bat and rejecting/holding bets if a HR happens? These prediction markets have APIs and work the same way as the stock market, there are sellers and buyers in the market so messing with that process would be explicitly unfair and probably illegal.

I'm just assuming here, but I'm sure they have cameras or some other type of data in the stadium, and vision models running on those to make instant trades when a home run has been hit, touchdown scores, etc. and have a huge edge on retail money.

> Prediction markets are PVP thats the way i look at it

This is true but people should at least be informed that the overwhelming majority of trading volume is HFT firms with faster access to data and the prediction markets than you. These firms pay the prediction markets for that access, and the losses that happen on prediction markets flow to these few large HFT shops.
