  • Torvalds was once rumored to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, but he clarified it was a joke and denied owning a Bitcoin fortune.

      Healthy relationships have ridiculous hall-passes that share at least one person in common.

      He’ll live long enough to end up on the wrong side of the polygamy rights fight. But I’d like to be surprised.

        I imagine he will be an old and gray man and someone will ask him his opinion and it will probably be like

        Polygamy: Mormons, etc. generally opposes womens rights.

        Polyamory: Ideally places noone above another, elevates everyone to have the healthy connections such that noone is a “3rd wheel” or more disposable. Less about “polycules” recruiting new members, and more about individuals pairing with new partners, and existing partners (initially at least) gaining a metaphor. Mileage may vary and the point is everyone’s needs are a bit different and shouldnt feel pressured to fit neatly into a nuclear box.

        Just fyi.
