Is it possible to build zap support for Venmo or CashApp? They basically act like Lightning wallets but for fiat.

#ValueForValue makes more sense for online content the more I think about it.
Thinking about trying #WavLake, can anyone explain how it works?
I only know of a mobile dark mode...
Apparently Google isn't investing much in the Gmail web experience any more
They make those for cats, why can't we have one?

The purpose of freedom is so that we may choose to submit ourselves to the good.
It's also worth pointing out that marriage inherently limits mens' freedom, as well. A man who marries assumes responsibility for the well-being of his wife and any children they have, which certainly limits his range of reasonable options at each decision point in life.
Working on a browser extension-based Nostr client. Was going to use another NIP-07 extension to handle signing just to get the thing off the ground, but it turns out doing that is really hacky, if it's even possible, so I guess I'm gonna implement NIP-07 myself right off the bat.
Not sure what your assessment of Jordan Peterson's character has to do with the interview. He had a guest with interesting ideas on his podcast, and I thought the discussion was worth hearing.
Hoffman isn't saying it's all a figment of our imagination. He is saying that what our minds perceive as the mosquito is not necessarily what the mosquito "really is." Our perception is a best-guess approximation of some underlying reality inaccessible to the senses. He sounded a lot like Kant in that way.
Contraception is often hailed as one of the most significant advances of the modern age because it gives women control over their reproduction. However, there's another path that could have been taken.
No one, except the Catholics, talk about NFP, which is another innovation of modern technology that gives us control over reproduction. Unlike the pill, it doesn't crush the woman's natural cycle.
We still have no idea all the negative health consequences downstream of hormonal contraception, and there's barely a control group, so it would be difficult to find out even if we wanted to.
Yup, I was thinking of that too. I read "On Being and Essence" in college. Thomas picks up Aristotle's ideas and runs with them.
It's fascinating how insightful those ancient philosophers and theologians were. In some respects, it feels like physical science is just now catching up with precise mathematical descriptions of some of those philosophical concepts.
It all goes back to Aristotle.
I just listened to this fascinating discussion between Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dr. Donald Hoffman. Hoffman is proposing a mathematical theory of reality that holds consciousness as fundamental and views the physical reality our senses perceive ultimately as a construct contained within our minds.
While listening, I was struck by how similar that sounds to Aristotelian metaphysics. At one point, Hoffman states that he believes the most fundamental reality is consciousness, and that consciousness is engaged in thinking about itself. This is remarkably similar to Aristotle's description of the self-existent being, a description which the Christian tradition later applied to God.
Give the interview a listen. Peterson does a great job of setting up other ideas and lines of reasoning in dialogue with Hoffman's theories. I'm definitely putting Hoffman on my "books to read" list.

The discussion also worked at the idea that the things we see are categories imposed by the mind because they are useful. Again, that sounds a lot like the Aristotelian idea of the Forms existing in our minds and being imposed on Prime Matter to give us the substances and accidents we perceive.
