TIL that in 1941 Federated Department Store Inc. (now known as Macy's), convinced Congress and FDR that changing Thanksgiving from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday would extend the Christmas shopping season and boost the economy. Congress agreed, creating Black Friday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac…

There's a guy who the Space Force and Defense Department are paying $250k a year to go to MIT to study Bitcoin for them, to see how they could use its ledger in the same way they use GPS to store and track accurate immutable information. He just got permission to go public with his work.

He's been talking about it for months on twitter spaces. Look up @ JasonPLowery on twitter to find his account. When looking up his background information, everything looks legit. This is probably what Biden's advisor meant when he said that his administration was mining Bitcoin, because from what I've heard this kid say in those twitter spaces, the stuff he's trying to do for them would involve mining and much more. His plan is to make Bitcoin the GPS and Atomic Clock of digital information, a solid accurate ledger to store important information away from things like internet rot or wiki edits.

For those who don't know, our current internet is rotting away. When you search on google, it claims to have billions of results for any subject, but when you search through those subject's results and actually dig through the pages, you only get on average around 350 to 470 links.

The other billions? They've been lost to internet rot, the result of links being lost or destroyed from things like servers going offline, losing the data of billions of results per search, the loss of things you used to be able to find online but can no longer locate.

This apparently is a problem for the government as a lot of those lost links were links used in actual court cases, leading to digital evidence being lost that in some cases have been used to set legal precedents. There's a lot more to what he's doing for the military via the usage of Bitcoin's immutable ledger, but this is what I can remember off the top of my head.

Hopefully he can set up an AMA with the mods one day. I bet this community would be very interested in hearing what he has to say in regards of what he's doing with using Bitcoin's immutable blockchain on the most powerful computer network on earth for the Space Force and the Defense Department's needs.

First paragraph:

War is the globally adopted Proof-of-Work social consensus protocol that nodes (countries) use to validate the legitimate state of property and its chain of custody. Militaries project force across time (i.e. energy) in a fundamental game of probability to trigger a capitulation event. This is functionally identical to Bitcoin PoW miners projecting energy to probabilistically trigger the end of each block.

What do you think the future is for makeup in upscale department stores?

I’m talking about places like Nordstorm, Macy’s, Dillards, Neimans. Curious about other’s opinions. With Sephora putting new stores inside of Kohls, ulta partnering with target on top of already having so many free standing stores; what will happen to the high end makeup counters in the future? I truly don’t see them lasting much longer. As someone who recently left a makeup counter job after 5 years, it was a huge struggle. We just couldn’t compete with the insanely good reward point systems, online discounts, and free gifts everyone else was handing out. We’d get yelled at for not selling enough like it was out faults. People avoided the beauty counters at all costs, and I don’t blame them. I worked with some pretty outgoing sharks who wouldn’t let you leave without spending money on stuff you don’t want. It does make me a bit sad when my nostalgia brings me back to my early teens when my mom would let me get a makeover at a bobbi brown counter and I felt so fancy and special. However there is no incentive for anyone to shop there unless you want that experience or are an older lady who has been shopping there already and doesn’t want to change their ways. I don’t see any comeback for the beauty counters, and at most department stores they rely on makeup counter sales for at least 10% of their total sales. But it’s not just makeup, I don’t think many people enjoy shopping at these stores anymore. I wonder what will happen in the future, if this will lead to department stores closing as a whole or just taking out their beauty sections.
