If you're not a citizen, the prospects of getting work visa after the graduatiation for being able to stay are pretty slim nowadays. Little better with MSc in STEM, but still quite a tall order.
So think twice about what are your plans after the school. It still might be a great option in certain cases. But long gone are the days when uni was a good stepping stone to the US.
That's the original defqult zap.
Correct. But you can use more private options there too. Cash by mail is the king.
BRILLIANTLY PUT.

Not a fan of TikTok, but even less of a fan of any goverments telling you what you can or can't do.
It will serve just as a stepping stone for more bans and power grabs for them. The only thing all the parties always universally agree on.
Just show them the finger and opt out. They have no rights over your free choices. Their legitimacy ended long time ago, they just didn't catch up yet.
Use the tools over which they have no authority or coercive powers. Those tools were designs primarily for this purpose, of protecting your freedoms and rights against any coercion. Nostr is one of them.
Nostr also has a very anti-monopolistic design, so that not even the clients have any coercive powers over you (unlike facebooks or twitters of the world). You will always be able to take your login, all your "friends" and content, and move to a more attractive competitor you want to play with.

i got this life hack from nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m. you guys gotta just try it before you bash it, trust me on this
i’ve had no booze, no caffeine for a month.
i have raw eggs and fruit juice instead of coffee, way more nutritious and way more energy.
i eat a lot of red meat and butter throughout the day. cook my steaks blue, sometimes medium rare.
then i build shit for others and stack sats.
if we’re all gonna live ~75 years you can try something for a few weeks. it’s been incredible

Interesting. I'll give it a try and jack up my diet. Coffee will be missed, but it's more a cozy calm morning habit than a need.

Coinbase will adopt this feature sooner than lightning. It pairs up great with their crashing feature too.
Looks like Saylor snacking fiat whales for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All in one sitting.
Infinite apetite.
Focus on the chronological feed front and center is cultivating high time preference behavior.
I want a slow-paced client optimized for quality; not a Breaking News scrolling FOMO experience.

- I'd give them the benefit of an MVP.
You can iterate on algorithms pretty quickly and easily. The tricky part is to define what you want (and don't want) to achieve, and how to measure whether your changes are achieving exactly that.
I would expect progression like this:
1.0:
- More complex algorithm, driving more diverse engagement
- You can try to optimize for more nuanced engagement factors, and their combinations. (length of the comments; authors re-engagement in the threads; ...)
- Potentially you can pair it up with some Sectional breakdown of the "Trending" ("Pictures"; "Discussion-stirring topics"; "Memes of the day"; "GM notes"; "Most Zapped"; "Farmstr community")
2.0:
- You seperate the client from the trending algorithm control
- Enable each user to configure what sections (tabs) with what algorithms they want to see there (nudge in some defaults, but allow user-controlled overwrites)
- The "MySpace experience"
Most Search Engines (Hotels, Jobs, Wikipedia, ...) have gone through the progression of being Feed-first to being Suggestion-first (section-first) for the returning users.
- It's hard to hit every users needs with a single feed front and centered
- It's easier to offer a personalized menu of suggestions on the home page, and allow the user to *browse* through the catalog, not to just *read or keyword search*
Booking . com is a classic example
- imagine each of these sections being automatically redined (personalized) to your past nostr engagements, while allowing you to make 100% overwrites and fine tune each section with your preferred parameters.
