Good morning Nostr!! 🫡🌞
We're all going to make today another great one! 🫂💜
Yesterday, nostr:nprofile1qqs9myundyk6v3jmnc4zjs3rvfazjlnx3kc55cn6zktsyaj4h9320usppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6tc5kzw8n had stated " I can just build things here. " That stuck with me. 🫡
Yes, you can just build things here. You don't need permission. So quit holding yourself back. Let's get to work. We have building to do! 💪🚀
GM, just building 🫡
This is the scariest part. Algorithms run amok at the helm.
Just zapped you from my own non-custodial wallet to your non-custodial node, routed through the public LN without issue 🫡
Politically savvy in what way? Like positioning in a way that helps bring in more research grants, or maybe politically savvy by choosing to be a researcher in a "hot topic" field? Or maybe a mix of the two?
In any case, my own experience in the academic fiat mines over the years is that researchers are like entrepreneurs in a way. They constantly have to be advocating for their work and their teams. Bigger research groups tend to publish more by virtue of being bigger, which brings in more grants. Being a researcher in a hot topic field also helps to get the ears of funding agencies but it's also hyper competitive because there are so many academics for so few funding dollars that it's a race to the bottom. It really is just a constant grind to keep research going, students going, papers published, peer reviews done, conference attendances to disseminate research, grant applications done, juggling institution politics, and on and on.
Maybe run `lsof -t -i:PORT` to see output before giving it to `kill -9` to be on the safe side?
Awesome. Those are some big HTLCs. How difficult is it for you to readjust after such a big sloshing of liquidity?
Listen to gossip long enough and keep a record of it, that'll make a decent database.
NIP-99 describes how to build 'classified listings' addressable events. What happens once the item is sold? A new event is posted to update it sort of like saying "it's sold", or does the event get deleted somehow?

Embrace it and make a stir fry
Are there any reasonable estimates somewhere on people leaving Twitter/X? Just anecdotally seeing posts generally get fewer "views" over the last year or so, but not sure how they quantify views in the first place.
Most of my Twitter/X feed became stuff I just didn't want to see, and the platform really got in my way in trying to find content I did want to see that I decided to just delete my account. But I'm just an insignificant drop in the Twitter/X ocean anyway.
I wish it were that easy. A big problem is that it's very hard to get microbes to do just the one thing you want to achieve in complex environments, especially recalcitrant environments like landfills. There's 40 years or so of scientific literature on exactly this subject and there's been quite a lot of progress but still no magic pill. The reality is that our junk is just going to long outlast us.
Microbes essentially have the genetic complement to do the job but there's lots going on that determines what, when, where and how they eat. Sometimes the bad stuff gets broken into food or building blocks, but then sometimes digesting something toxic ends up being conjugated into something equally toxic with a longer half-life.
Bacteria and fungi already have genes that code for things capable of degrading plastic and other industrial waste. It's just that it's a much tougher source of food to break open, and almost always requires more easily-digestible food in the environment to supplement and fuel extracellular digestion of the tougher stuff.
Saturated environments like those impose a big negative selection, so the locked up food source sits there for a while. But eventually someone will move in and make use of it, albeit very slowly. I stumbled upon a pile of old asphalt shingles in the woods many years ago. It appeared more degraded than from weathering alone so it became the basis for a research project later on. We found all sorts of microbes expressing all sorts of genes beyond the big family of peroxidases in order to eat break down the medium. Many of those genes are also involved in recycling celluloses/hemicelluloses/ligins.
