Okay, I’m fine with open interview! I’m sorry we didn’t get to chat before my article was published.

I genuinely would like to know about your interest in RFK jr. Do you see him as a viable candidate and what about the interview you shared resonated with you?

Do you see his appeals to the crypto community as genuine?

Or am I reading to far into yo ur posts?

Why is Tucker Carlson leaving Fox? After all, they make each other a lot of money. Could it be that Tucker wants to strike out on his own? Maybe, but he would be leaving a large chunk of his audience behind, maybe even most of it.

Could it be that Fox asked him to leave? It seems strange that they would. After all, Tucker is their highest-rated host, again making Fox a lot of money. So, if they did fire him, it would have to be for something serious.

Very serious. Like, 'eating babies' serious. Not that I'm saying Tucker is *known* for eating babies... no one has accused him of that, as far as I know. But he makes Fox a lot of money, enough that those suitably focused on the bottom line might overlook the occasional baby... as long as it wasn't an *important* baby. Maybe poor babies would be okay, but definitely not ones with rich parents.

Of course, nobody is saying Tucker Carlson is a baby-eating cannibal. In fact, we don't even know that he was fired. Not for certain, in any case. But it does make you wonder... how many babies would Tucker Carlson have to eat before Fox News fired him? Neither Fox nor Tucker have said, so we may never know...

Kinda feel bad for Elon, inheriting a shitsandwitch codebase. Probably fully sabotaged by woke devs on the way out.

“Why does my follower count change”

Great explanation:

Which is why as clients we need a better method of calculating this.

Indeed

That said, someone will one day write an algo for a client on nostr.

Hopefully it’s open, or if not, it allows one to turn it on or off or choose different algos.

I think the option of other revenue models enables better algos that are actually useful and not driven by advertising incentives. That to me is the key downfall of current social media algos.

The algos on nostr are coming, and that’s ok. Feels like the developer community here has set the tone for what’s expected of them and that will drive to much more meaningful outcomes.

Running your own node is definitely a friction point but with lightning the bigger friction point seems to be liquidity management, particularly inbound liquidity.

Many of the people using ‘non custodial mobile wallets’ such as phoenix still have to trust the company that is running the node and providing them liquidity.

The concern I have is that we are onboarding a ton of people via custodial wallets and standardizing LNURL which has incentives pushing people toward custodial wallets.

Eventually these custodians will rug pull or shotgun kyc. It is difficult to reverse this course after the fact.
