Looks like its from here https://bioedge.org/beginning-of-life-issues/ivf/american-ivf-clinics-are-happily-offering-sex-selection/
Last quote in the article is comedy gold -
A psychologist – who chose the sex of her third child – told Slate that sex selection could be dangerous. The parents have ordered an ideal child – and they might feel cheated if their offspring doesn’t follow the script. “She has also seen seemingly open-minded parents who—after investing time, money, and pain into selecting their child’s sex—are devastated after their kid comes out as trans.”
Yeah but also seems like he was lying a lot or contradicting himself at least, maybe on purpose to cover tracks (if clever) or just boasting?... Was making 10K a day at one point then not even a millionaire next, works alone but then it actually sounds like he's just bottom of the tree.
Anyway it sounds like the kid and his friends/associates aren't going to be hard to find. Like the guys in Goodfellas when they just made the big score then they all start driving around in flash cars or buying their girlfriends expensive jewelry etc!
I just took a look at the https://tumblr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417356885527-Tipping page on how to set up tips.
Min tip $1
You need to set up a KYC'd account with Stripe (so probably geo restricted, at least to only places where stripe operates) and anyway how is it normal that to use a service you have to open an account with their banking partner?
You don't get the tips till they reach $25
You need to be 18+yrs to use?!
Depending where you live >1% cut is taken from each tip
Hopefully we can do better!
For example it should be possible to tip a nostr account without a nostr account and with any bitcoin wallet support lightning payments.... Though I just tried tipping your post not signed in via nostrudel but couldn't get the payment request to come up.
Sounds good, definitely better if US companies/citizens stepped up. Especially as when/if the US gov drags anyone to court,they might argue that none of those protections apply to non US citizens, pretty sure they already do that in the case of surveillance.
Especially seems once you cross the line into running a business/making profit you really want to listening to those lawyers, even if they're telling you things you don't want to hear. Wasabi devs might have got some shit but at least they're not on a plane to the states... Many of those mouthing off probably aren't really taking any personal risks themselves.
Seems an overreaction but can't blame people not wanting to get extradited to US then spending years fighting a possible lengthy jail sentence for writing some software.

'Again, this service is typically sought by people who don't want the police to know what their tokens are being used for, or what they did to acquire them.' - Odd, don't think The Register would go with the same angle if this was a tool for private messaging.
The way that is written really sounds as if they're implying that using any cryptocurrency using software that doesn't KYC means you're immediately doing something suspicious or near illegal.
Nice fees are low so there's money to spend again
Now I'll have to look up what the actual definition is for a honeypot is!
I was going to use their BIP-340 lib, was just looking at the code last night. Now their repo seems to be taken down too.
Guess they weren't a honeypot after all.
Lol still over £200 in lighting channels my side but 0 to spend, guess that's those high base fees.
Basically got NIP44 encryption working in python https://github.com/monty888/monstr so think I'll quit whilst I'm ahead for today.
I’m no fan and I’m not a user, but forcing private companies to offer products for free… *socialism intensifies*

Sounds like the problem isn't the adverts, they could have a subscription with no adds and free with adds. It's the spying and selling user data on and making that the choice for the free version. I'm cool with them being told to go fuck themselves!
Why does no one talk about ICANN centralization and alternatives like #OpenNic?
or email self hosting.
Freedom Money, Freedom Social, Freedom Hardware, yes. But all these relays and nodes run on .com's
Privacy technologies get a lot of attention, but the step after ones ISP gets very little. With anonymous mesh networks not taking off and with inherent infrastructure limitations, registering a real I.D with an ISP beholden to a state will remain for the forseable future. But after that step in the internet stack ? We should support as libre as possible right ?

Thoughts ?
For instance, if i want to set up a nostr relay i have to trust a third party at some point, for the TLD. Identity with them is reliant on an email instead of an npub assosiation.
It would be nice to have a server app market like in Umbrel where i can spin up my own Domain after some sort of anti spam measure like a crypto escrow or nostr vouching system.
ICANN appears to have a monopoly, whereas with nostr we can support and promote an alternative default system.
What about Tor relays? They don't require a .com but maybe would be better with specific low data/text only clients?
Well that's what Apple is offering so far,not sure it'll be enough to satisfy EU. Nevertheless fuck apple.
Just got to the end and the main pos actually got zero jail time and praised for his co-oporation with FBI! Probably scamming again already, and it doesn't even look like they made much effort to recover funds from him. Ffsk!
Nice! So, we just need to updated it to be a DVM and the new encryption scheme.
Maybe we can add a cashu token in each hop to pay for those services? nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehx7mmwv4ejucm0d5hsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshs26ym66 , if I encrypt a cashu token from the same mint in each hop, can each server use that info to identify who am I?
Cashu token at each hop sounds good... Just started playing with the ecash Python code.
Someone actually wrote a non official nip for this a while back. I started writing some python code doing the basics ... But i wasn't sure if it was crazy good or crazy bad! https://github.com/monty888/republishstr
How does it compare to something like cashu? I think its possible for an ecash mint to be multisig like liquid.
https://iris.to/ goto settings social graph maybe?
You can also do relaying similar to tor using wrapped events see https://github.com/motorina0/nips/blob/republish_events/705.md I coded up a rough version in Python a while back https://github.com/monty888/republishstr
Lucky have old phone so just used that. The ticket has a barcode on it which I bet they just scan anyhow. Yeah contacting support always option but weird theyd make you jump through hoops, how hard is it to have a link to PDF format?! I now hate Watford fc, hope we smash them!
Option for random key - assume that costs a little extra, got to hand it to them for entrepreneurship!
lol you just scared the shit out of anyone running a relay!
pretty pretty good.
In that diagram google looks even creepier. Surprised the banks are happy being cut out of the action like that.
Appreciate your hard work to get this into the app store. Really hoping that apple are forced to be more open/allow other app stores in the future. For me the time I bought an ipod compared to the lovely little sony music player I had before was enough to put me off apple forever... But I know there's a whole mass off people that are apple for everything, it'll be a shame if they don't get a first class nostr experience, or at least the best possible one whilst staying within the conditions of the store.
Yeah seems a lot of relays are struggling. Find getting fetches of past data slow. Updates of current posts seem to be going OK though.
So I've tried relay.nostr.info and bootstrap my client from it a few times and all seems to work OK for me.
I had an issue with this event b19927cc51e45bff87628a15f8f643f452d67ab9c5b936163c906825be585e34 because python won't let me convert the ticks on this to a date (its year 54460?!)
But that's more my issue, I should probably be dropping this event upfront.
In addition I too a look at the specific case with large number of author, and both the split style on single worked Ok for large number (>1000) on damus relay only the split style returns, though it no longer errors/returns a notice of too many keys so it might return eventually.
Yeah it seems like something the relay should deal with but it was necessary for now.
Even on non controversial topics its output has a marketing/pr kind of feel to it. Lots of words but little content, or clear that it doesn't really understand what it's talking about. That said I think it has great potential... e.g. I'd really like have something like it integrated into the terminal so I could interact with the computer more naturally. I think humans have a few more years of usefulness yet at least as demonstrated by the output of this model!
