I don't think that's quite the right question to ask. The _reason_ for the divorce is such an important factor. The divorce rate for verbally/physically abusive marriages should be 100% (ideally 100% of a very small number). The divorce rate due to financial stress should be 0% but is currently being artificially skewed by fiat money. I don't think having a divorce rate of 1% is inherently bad if it is an accurate reflection of people's happiness with their relationship choices.

Not an answer to your question, but if you’re annoyed by how slow clippy is, it sounds like there’s work being done to speed it up significantly: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2024h2/optimize-clippy.html

I second this thought. I’m consistently surprising not only by how few people would like to consistently raise the fed interest rate until it’s above the free-market rate, but how few people even understand that idea at all.

It feels good to look at, but yeah I agree. The dollar will continue to be a worse and worse yard stick to measure economic value against. In the long run we’ll just stop measuring against it.

I have! Finished the first chapter a few days ago. Enjoying it so far, and I hate most fiction 😅

My two favorite things in one book? Need

Anyone else using Claude 3.5 Sonnet notice it getting substantially dumber over the past few weeks?

Writing GUIs in rust is surprisingly satisfying! Tried out the ‘iced’ crate to make a desktop app. The number of available components is pretty limited, but the snappiness of resizing and interaction is a huge breath of fresh air compared to Electron- or Tauri-based apps.

Price gouging doesn’t exist. If you don’t like what someone is charging, buy it somewhere else. If you don’t like what anyone is charging, start your own business and compete with them. And if governmental bureaucracy and regulation prevent you from doing so, blame governmental bureaucracy and regulation, not the businesses.

Dude so sorry somehow I didn’t get notified about your comment until just now 😂 Nostr is still early

This feels so accurate 🤦‍♂️😅

It really feels like everyone who is able to learn from reason have found Bitcoin, and everyone else will just have to learn through pain

Two small suggestions:

1. Center the header text

2. Change the Onchain icon to a chain icon, since using a Bitcoin icon implies that Lightning and ecash aren’t Bitcoin (I know ecash isn’t Bitcoin technically, but it functions as Bitcoin in practice)
