Businesses donât agree here, even though they are not satisfied with 90%+ projects either donât meet timelines or fail completely :)
Yeah, would nostr be ruby, it wouldnât stuck at 10k users for so long :)
Well I could agree golang does web dev better than ruby-from-2000 :) other than that golang is great for âmicro-servicesâ. Luckily, âmicro-servicesâ are dying pretty fast lately
Every tool has a use-case, and average startup needs a way to handle complex business rules quickly and long-term
Why? There are no better tools yet to manage business logic heavy apps yet, especially that allow for so quick start on a $5 VPS and scale to multi million AWS setup
I believe ruby is still the most popular language for startups backend development if you factor out python hype which is temporary and wordpress-level development. Even server-side javascript is not very popular if you donât count API->NextJS(server)->NextJS(client) as server side javascript
But yeah, most likely OpenAPI is enough, at least for 20/80
Nostr is built for âstealingâ right now and its called censoeship resistance. Its a fundamental decision to not make it difficult to share content you see.
Theoretically its impossible to stop information spreading on internet. However, standard platforms make it as difficult as possible, which effectively translates to creators thinking they control things.
Not only nostr has nothing to handle this use case right now, I bet the majority of the community would not support it ans would say âif one is concerned their content to be copied to another relay they should not use nostrâ
Right now external tools should be used to achieve that - i.e. post nostr note with a link to media server which only renders images to whitelisted IPs (who paid for content)
When I stand still my speed is 0 km/h, when I walk its 4 km/h, when I run its sometimes 15 km/h, wow, just a little bit of practice and I can throw my car away and commute 50 km just by running really fast!
Creators are the core of every social network. 1% of creators produce 90%+ of content people want to consume. Without creators a project could be anything but a social network
Just my 2 cents experience on that:
Last year Iâve started a project https://github.com/viktorvsk/saltivka to address this issue in particular, to build more tools for creators
However, Iâve found zero interest in the community to go this way. Most of the feedback usually âits a better place without influencers hereâ, ânostr already won and they will join when they understand, same as with bitcoinâ, âI like nostr to be a safe place for smart people and I donât want millions of idiots hereâ
So Iâve stopped building this part of nostr, because it requires coordination between relay devs, clients devs, ui/ux designers and operations teams, so I donât see I can handle its all on my own
British Government Warns Of Weak Military - Says Civilians Must Be 'Ready To Fight'
British Government Warns Of Weak Military - Says Civilians Must Be 'Ready To Fight'
The British House of Lords has https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/360/international-relations-and-defence-committee/news/202994/ukraine-a-wakeup-call-for-the-uk-and-nato/
claiming that military recruitment is dangerously low and the country's combat readiness is at risk. They say the civilian population 'must be ready to fight' (a clear reference to military conscription) should war with Russia be triggered.
The paper, titled 'Ukraine: A Wake-Up Call', admits to weaknesses in NATO's assumptions on "deterrence", though it seems to pretend as if Ukraine is part of NATO when it's not. Chaired by Lord de Mauley, the committee launched the inquiry in February 2024, two years after Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine, with the goal of assessing the conflictâs implications for UK defence policy.
"...We identified two key lessons. First, our deterrence strategy towards Russia clearly failed. If we are to restore the credibility of NATOâs nuclear and conventional deterrence posture towards Putin, we must develop a clearer understanding of the reasons for this failure."
"Secondly, the invasion exposed significant weaknesses in both the UKâs and NATOâs military strength, and the UK's ability to sustain large-scale warfare. Successive governments have attempted to maintain the notion of the UK as a global power, but the war in Ukraine has been a wake-up call, laying bare the gap between that ambition and reality."
?itok=ZWY-2BZJ
It should be noted that February was near the beginning of Russia's attrition based offensive that is poised to take control of the entire Donbas region of Ukraine. This was well after Ukraine's much hyped "counter-offensive" which ended with an embarrassing whimper.
The report paints a concerning picture of the https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/british-army-too-small-to-meet-commitments-lords-warn/
to contribute adequately to NATOâs deterrence strategy. It states:
âAll in all, the evidence we heard points to the current size of the British Army being inadequate. While size is not the only measure of capability, we are concerned that the Army cannot, as currently constituted, make the expected troop contribution to NATO. We therefore question whether the British Army is prepared to meet the growing threat posed by Russia to European security.â
The current size of the British Army is 75,166 regular troops and 183,000 personnel across all branches. Keep in mind only 80,000 of these personnel would play a front line combat role. If the casualty numbers coming out of Ukraine are anywhere close to accurate this would not be enough troops to sustain a single year of combat in an attrition based war.
The House of Lords called on Prime Minister Keir Starmer to develop a plan that âresonates with citizens, emphasizing the importance of national security in their daily lives and moving beyond the notion that defense is solely the militaryâs responsibilityâ.
The paper also warned that while there was a risk that conversations around civilians âcould end up veering into discussions around conscriptionâ, the government had âan opportunity to broaden this out and consider how it could incorporate the whole of society in building resilienceâ.
The real question is, why would the British public fight for the current government? Military recruitment relies heavily on true patriots and a sense of national identity, but Keir Starmer and government overall has made it quite clear that they intend to erase indigenous Anglo-Saxon British identity through forced mass immigration from third-world countries. Starmer has even gone so far as to arrest British citizens simply for posting critical opinions on social media.
The House of Lords acts bewildered as to why the civilian population has little interest in military readiness. Maybe it's because the British government has gone full Orwellian? The average westerner is not going to go to war to risk their lives for a system that oppresses them. This is why recruitment is at all time lows and why conscription would be useless.
Another factor which likely plays a considerable part in public apprehension is the threat of WWIII. The majority of people in the west have little enthusiasm over engaging in a war that could very well lead to a global nuclear exchange, especially over a country like Ukraine which, for them, is insignificant. There is nothing to be gained.

Well id Ukraine is insignificant for someone to support then just sit down and wait until a country significant to them will appear in the same position as Ukraine right now. L
The slightly difference will be that instead of money and verbal support they will have to send their own people to die, but thats probably insignificant once a significant country is invaded, right?
Lol, people considering this âan escalationâ are so stupid, which makes this topic almost as good litmus test as bitcoin is
Of course it will not
The only reason why you can write to big ones right now is because no one uses nostr right now. There is no even theoretical incentive for public relays to operate if nostr really becomes something
And no one wants to address this issue. Instead people tend to over engineer 64K relays that are extremely efficient and can serve 256 out of a coffee machine
I still believe if everyone who is able to create their own personal intelligent spam filter does it (I stopped for example because donât see any value in it right now) â all those people will be able to discuss are bitcoin, nostr, meat, anarcho capitalism, libertarianism and maybe some other cryptocurrencies, but unsure here. However, I define âtwitter alternativeâ completely differently
Hope to be very wrong and your optimism to play out well đ
Running relay is cheap and will only become cheaper and corporations are straight stupid paying millions of dollars monthly for infrastructure?
Or rather this âcheap outbox relay approachâ ignores social media aspects and focuses on âprivate groupsâ scenarios which is more like my personal webpage no one knows about rather twitter alternative?
So you expect everyone runs their own relay, just like everyone runs email servers today right?
Remember there is no centralization around gmail today â you can always selfhost since smtp is an open protocol. And if someone wont receive your emails well thats not a problem right?
Then you should probably not generalize your statement âany govt will break any expectationâ too, otherwise your words donât make sense and have just selective meaning to highlight what you want to say right here right now
Just the same as people who on one hand has some expectations from their govt (i.e support rusia genocide by dropping support of Ukraine) but completely forget that for example US has much bigger liabilities and according to its own decions it MUST send their soldiers to fight rusia but instead just decides to give some pennies the majority if which only support US manufacture and arsenal refresh.
This website is censoring my phone :(
So if you do not separate govts and ppl and you think you cannot trust any single govt - it seems like you want to say you should not trust any single person, is it what you mean?
