“Men sooner forget the death of their father than the loss of their  patrimony.” — Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

People hide money because they don’t want to lose it to thieves and then they forget about it.

How much gold and cash is hidden in walls and forgotten? This is about the same with the accompanying problems.

>>> There have already been several examples around the world of bitcoin investors who have died without leaving their keys for their relatives. In such cases, families must deal with a kind of “double funeral,” as they mourn the loss of their loved ones while coming to terms with the loss of an irretrievable fortune that might have been theirs.

He is a good actor and most of the movies he plays in are good. He should stick to acting and not make a fool of himself with political comments. In the lying businesses, everyone seems to think that they have a shot at becoming president. I will let you decide what are the lying businesses but when you think about it, acting is not about the truth.

>>> Nobu, the posh, high-end restaurant and hotel chain — backed by left-wing actor and raging Trump-basher Robert De Niro — took more than a dozen loans from the Trump administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

I remember reading DeBrogli’s thesis when I was younger.  In that time, he never thought that his wave function was a probabilistic one.  He changed his mind and then back again to a real wave function later in his life.  I do not buy the probability function either.  It is explaining a few things but it is also putting a break on real advances. Maybe the ‘real’ wave function is also a bad approach but, at least, it is leading to new ways of observing because it is making us realize that we need to look at the world differently.

In a sea of interpretations of quantum weirdness, QBism swims alone. The traditional “Copenhagen interpretation” treats the observer as somehow standing outside of nature, imbued with mysterious wave-function-collapsing powers, governed by laws of physics that are different from those that govern what’s being observed.

To me, Mr. Trump is more like Mr. Lincoln than anybody else. They both have humanist values. They both want to create ties with other humanists. They say their mission is to bring down Mr. Trump. I think this ‘Project’ is destroying Mr Lincoln a lot more than Mr Trump.

The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by several prominent Republicans and former Republicans. The goal of the committee is to prevent the reelection of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.[1] In April 2020, the committee announced their endorsement of Joe Biden, a Democrat, after Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee.[2]
