This ☝️. I would also like "quiet" posters to be shown more prominently in my feed. Some people just post a couple of notes per week but they're 🔥, and they get drowned out by the sheer volume of other posts so that I easily miss them

There should be a requirement of brevity when introducing any piece of legislation, as well as for the body of laws as a whole. The smaller and simpler the body of laws, the likelier that most citizens are familiar with them, and hence that they are aware of their rights.

The larger & more complicated the body of laws, the more uncertainty creeps into people's minds as to whether they're "in the wrong" in everyday situations, encouraging a self-censored way of life just to avoid trouble. People need to defer to professionals (lawyers) to properly navigate the rules, which is financially unaffordable to most of the population, so non-wealthy people keep their heads down to avoid getting chewed by the justice system.

An alternative hypothesis is that the reason you picked up that pack of gum in the first place, is that you'd already been served some ads for that gum in the past, but didn't consciously remember them (whereas your subconscious did, and said "yum" in that 7 eleven). Now that you've bought it you're consciously aware of the product and hence also notice its ads.

It would be cool to somehow verify this hypothesis. For example, you could request from Google/FB/etc to send you a list of all ads that were served to you in the past two months, and then comb through that and see if the pack of gum was in there somewhere.

basef af, he basically invented formal logic

Whatever is the opposite of laziness, you've got it

Much appreciated ser!

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s you probably have much better discussions than most other nostriches, because everyone follows you. Most people are hard to be found & as a consequence have less engagement within their niche(s).

Personalize discovery of relevant discussions would be a great feature to level up. Surely not easy though!

In Japanese there is a word for 100 million: oku (億)

1 BTC = oku sats

Maybe Satoshi is Japanese after all 🧐

Yeah it's quite the breakthrough. Especially when you don't have pen & paper or even a nice tablet and chisel. Did the first one just kind of start etching some stuff into the wall of the granary, and his boss was like wtf are you doing

Time quickly becomes a thing if you need to plan the planting & harvest of sufficient crops to make it through the winter

Yep, galaxy brain move. And it only took us another few thousand years to finally build a ledger that nobody can corrupt!

If there's one feature of the big platforms that we should replicate here, IMO, it's the (personalised) long-tail recommendations.

What do I mean? Think about YouTube. You get served the videos from the accounts that you've subscribed to, but in the mix there's also a video from some small account that you would never have discovered on your own. Sometimes it's garbage, and sometimes it's a gem (to you!), in fact it's quite likely it's a from niche that interests you, because it was picked based on your previous clicks by a recommendation engine.

Right now, the "trending" lists contain posts by popular people, but it's always the same 10-20 accounts and everyone sees the same thing. There should be more serendipity and more niche recommendations. Our #nostr data is out there for everyone to see, might as well put it to good use!

Does this mean that the universe is like fiat money

The "ad model" of the internet consists in tracking your activity, your preferences and ultimately your thoughts, in order to show you content that someone else pays money for you to see.

#Nostr improves the content part of this equation, in that you can finely curate what you see. A relay could probably bundle ads in together with the notes you subscribed to, but you could filter out anything not coming from your subscribed npubs at the client level. Of course, any client could also show you ads, or modify your feed, but you always have the choice of switching to another client.

On the other hand, I don't think Nostr is improving the tracking part of the story. Since all your notes, likes, zaps and other Nostr events are public (AFAIK), they constitute a lot of data for advertisers to mine and use. Whereas social media platforms jealously hoard your data to monetize it to advertisers, Nostr data is just up for grabs to anyone. Is there any thinking going into this issue?

I can't relate 😂

Sorry for double-posting, I assumed this one had not gone through because of an error message

Money is very old. There used to be pretty flawed monies like seashells, salt etc, which were replaced by better/harder/more durable monies over time, converging on the hardest forms.

The real mindfuck was introducing *fiat* money. How we accepted this, I'll never understand.
