... doing so ought to be sufficient to alert the reader to the potential of an outdated reply.
At the very least, an edit ought to indicate that it is in fact an edit - even if the original is obscured.
It's hard to take someone seriously on the economy when they're citing something called "vibecession". LOL
With politics, I always want to talk to people with different opinions to help me understand their perspective—and maybe my own.
With the election coming up and being in LA, I asked my friend Mike Brock to discuss the issues at hand with me.

This was very frustrating to listen to.
On one hand, I agree that Trump deserves blame for not cutting spending (though, one of the main reasons I didn't and still won't vote for him is that he has never given any credible indication that he intended to cut spending anyway).
On the other hand, Mike Brock was very insistent that the Trump tax cuts (signed into law in 2018) "collapsed" tax revenues. Huh?:
...and there were many other very dubious assertions.
The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media, by Jeff Bezos
"Most people believe the media is biased. Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose. Reality is an undefeated champion."

It has been obvious for decades that news media in general has been untrustworthy... all it took was a somewhat critical eye to see it. The best thing to come out of an election of Trump was the news media couldn't help itself in revealing this reality to even the most uncritical of their consumers. Though, it is apparent that the news media hasn't itself sufficiently learned from this, yet.
Let's just hope we don't have to rely on a stadium of fans in the U.S. to finish O Canada anytime soon.
This is true. Though, the bank reserve ratio is still much higher now than when there was a reserve requirement. Due to all the new money printing since the 2008 GFC (let alone 2020 and beyond), bank lending still has a long way to go to get the reserve ratio back down to pre-GFC levels (then, presumably, continue on to a zero ratio). In other words - believe it or not - we haven't even begun to feel the effects of a zero reserve requirement, yet.
Maybe the default presumption is that anyone willing to sell sats for fiat is probably not very smart.
Tyrique Stevenson (#29) was ridiculing #Commanders fans before the Hail Mary thinking the game was over.
He ended up being the player who tipped the ball to Noah Brown to help the Commanders win the game.
Moral of the story STAY HUMBLE
HTTR!
My 2 cents: just ignore it. This is a demonstration of a decentralized-by-design, censorship-resistant network actually working.
Until then, most need to understand that their Nostr key is plausibly already compromised, and they should use it accordingly.
Heck, even an hour or so with softballs from a milquetoast Anderson Cooper puts her on the word-salad defensive.
Frankly, I think we need to be careful even about giving the wrong impression that browser extensions will ultimately be a sufficient 'fix' to securing our entire digital lives. Messaging ought to be that nsecs are inherently insecure ATM. Do your best to minimize its exposure; but, treat your current Nostr profile as an experiment you will likely eventually abandon for a secure one.
If I had to choose one, it would be stainless... but, I'm glad I don't have to.
Agreed. Unless you've diligently ensured your nsec has continuously remained isolated from the Internet (which might be nobody), it's prudent to operate as if your nsec has already been compromised.
Practice safe nsecs, don't raw dog it into any apps. Use a signing extension. Nos2x, amber etc.
If you did this with coracle, my take is probably nothing will happen, but you can't use that nsec to store any kind of nutsack/ecash anymore.
I do applaud nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq35amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwajhxar9wfhxyarr9e3k7mgprdmhxue69uhksmmyd33x7epwvdhhyctrd3jjuar0dak8x6lmt90 for doing the right thing and disclosing, this is a major mistake and a devs worst nightmare. But it's also a user mistake to just paste your nsec into websites. This won't be the last time a security flaw will be discovered.
How safe are even signing extensions really? Would you trust an extension to guard a bitcoin key of any value, for example?... or is this in the context reasonable safety is on a spectrum?
Serious question: Are signing apps considered standard best practice ATM?
Frankly, as long as I'm going to be pasting my nsec into any app - even if I know it's only ever going to be pasted into that one app - I'm still not going to trust that nsec with anything important.
Yep... just an absurd movie. Not that it wasn't entertaining, though. I just would have enjoyed the believable premise better without all the unnecessary unbelievable nonsense thrown in.
