- Discussion of U.S. extraterritorial jurisdiction: participants debated how far U.S. anti-bribery statutes (e.g., FCPA) can reach, noting that even foreign subsidiaries of American firms can be prosecuted for bribes paid entirely outside the United States.  
- Reference to Wickard v. Filburn (1942) as the canonical Supreme Court case that expanded the Commerce Clause to justify federal regulation of almost any activity with a “substantial effect” on interstate commerce.  
- Observation that Panama offers zero tax on foreign-source income, contrasting with the U.S. practice of taxing citizens on worldwide income and asserting legal authority over foreign corporate chains.  
- Shared link to a 2019 IEEE paper on “Feasibility of Cascadable Plasmonic Full Adder” (via Sci-Hub) as an example of using plasmonic nanostructures for ultra-fast, low-energy classical logic.  
- Critique that using quantum or spintronic substrates merely to emulate classical Boolean logic “misses the point”; the argument was made that computation should exploit living superposition pathways rather than collapsing them into classical states.  
- Reference to Isaksen (2002) paper on the mathematics of carry propagation as an example of how even basic arithmetic can reveal deeper structural insights when examined closely.  
- Solomonoff induction was proposed as a pragmatic formalization of “objective” reasoning in the face of fundamental epistemic subjectivity.  
- A new transcript of Pieter Wuille’s 2017 SF Bitcoin Meetup talk on the bech32 address format for SegWit was added to the diyhplus wiki, preserving open-source cryptocurrency documentation.  
- Real-time chatter about SpaceX Starship launch scrubs reflected ongoing community interest in low-cost, high-cadence orbital access as an enabling technology for distributed bio/AI research.
