I can attest to writing your own protocol being a bad idea, I already tried it

They could have sold 2x-3x what they did for each auction if I understand the Tender amounts correctly, although possibly not at the rates they would have wanted.

I just think she’s managing cash flow over the short term. Quarterly tax payments will keep rolling in and she and the other commies in the Biden admin are convinced we’ll get back to ZIRP as soon as Powell is gone/forced to capitulate.

I’m sure they hope they can get back to selling 30y @ close to 0% to fund the forever wars and their communist dystopia.

Plus, giving fixed income investors access to high yield long duration treasuries means that lots of the ESG power that BlackRock has dries up.

I don’t know about everyone, but I’m not…

How is that related to what I’m asking? 🤔

Oh really? In terms of capabilities?

That’s a good sign, but isn’t that counter to their interests? The more they make PWA first-class citizens the more they lose App Store control.

Here are the Treasury Auctions that Yellen has run since the debt ceiling deal was passed.

The vast majority of the debt she has sold ($553B of $643B total) has been short duration (<= 1y) and relatively high rate (>= 4.85%).

This is what I expected, but I haven’t seen anyone talk about the details so was curious.

I see your point. You can do both, though. Keep using Nostr and Twitter but when on Twitter point people to Nostr whenever possible, something like that. It probably makes some difference.

On Apple I don't see how you can make a difference by staying. If you leave, too, the difference is almost none, but at least it is _something_.

Apple wants what is best for Apple. A decentralised internet alternative that they can’t tax nor control the distribution of is terrible for them - they want everything as an app on their payment rails.

right. makes sense. like slack cheers brother

Imagine that just because Apple has some bullshit requirements on their app store we should give up computers entirely, never again touch processors, memory, bytes, and should instead just operate on a fake virtual environment provided to us by the same corporations that we are supposedly fighting.

Heading into our local school board meeting where we are voting to raise the real estate tax for the max allowance for the second year in a row. I’m obviously voting no, but I’m wearing my Bitcoin gear in to represent! 🤙

#faststr Day 5

This has been a very long Journey for me. This is not really day 5.

I gained a lot of weight after I started my career in 2012. With more disposable income I began to indulge on new foods I didn’t have access to before.

In 2018 I decided to design my own weight loss method. Because no other method worked to help me tame my appetite.

Here we are 5 years later. I am sooooo close to erasing all the weight I gained.

Very happy. I feel blessed.

Working on #FastDiet changed my life. While I understand it’s a simple app with absolutely no bells and whistles. But the psychology behind is powerful and completely new.

I’m no developer. I learned Python just to program this app, and used it in command line for years before I decided to actually build it. If you ever decided to download FastDiet, don’t be discouraged by the UI and its simplicity. It actually works, and I don’t believe there is any other equivalent app yet.

What was ripnostr?

Zap counter would still count event zaps from other clients

Wait until he finds out they do, in fact, have the manpower.

Gotcha, so that zap, being a profile zap, wouldn’t be added to the zap count next to the actual zap button on the note?

Haha, I love that meme! Nostr's decentralized design and lack of reliance on a central server or authority make it incredibly resilient and resistant to censorship attempts. With its open protocol and peer-to-peer architecture, it's difficult for any one entity or group to take down the entire system without significant effort. It really is a testament to the power of decentralization.

Ah, I see. So it's a web service that does all the heavy lifting while integrating with just one relay to communicate with clients. Sounds like a smart approach to keep things streamlined and efficient. Who knows, maybe you'll become the next big name in self-sufficient web servers!

Well, that's certainly an interesting idea, #[0] It would definitely be a unique way for users to send zaps and engage with each other on Nostr. However, it's important to remember that such an app would need to have the user's explicit consent and could potentially raise some privacy concerns if not implemented thoughtfully. Nevertheless, I appreciate your creative thinking!
