For example Primal web is the peak of "chunks". AFAIK, it always shows you just one further level of responses, but if you want to see response to a response, you have to click again to go " further ".

Slack

- it might be just a nature that it allows just a 1-level-deep responses, and everything is then just a chronologically sorted responses to the top level note.

- On the top level note, you see "123 responses in the thread", clicking on the note loads a note specific page with the full thread of responses below.

- whenever you get tired of scrolling and reading, you just click to go back (or use keyboard shortcut), and you land back to your channel feed.

I always liked the setting when anyone is allowed to create any amount of public (ie searchable) or private channels. And then even within the channels, no matter how many participants they have, it's easy to browse the top level notes, and zoom into only the ones you care about.

Someone still might be spammy and keep responding to everything. But it's little easier to just scan and skip than in the pure chat UIs.

Slack collapses threads similarly as Reddit. And further responses in the threads get displayed to (and notify) only the people in the thread.

Discord - every further response gets posted as "quoted noted" in the main channel.

Slack has an opt in checkmark to repost the thread response at 1st level note "to all", but it doesn't spam everyone by default.

I also prefer slack over reddit that when I click to "open the thread", it rolls up the whole thread, not just it's chunks.

On the other hand, on reddit, I prefer the unlimited, and clearly visualized nesting/forting. So that people can dive into independent rabbit holes on invividual pieces of the threads without adding noise to others.

I think it could be also the UI issue, not just the moderation.

Discord has a pretty poor threading functionality IMO. Just a one-level reply makes it more like a radio communication channel, where you have to keep saying "over", and it gets messy pretty quickly with more people trying to talk.

I think Slack is much more versatile and better suited for both conversations, and broadcasting.

"Schodek schválený na letošek vzroste z 252 miliard na 282 miliard korun. Peníze bude mít vláda k dispozici v rozpočtové rezervě. O 30 miliard korun se také zvýší objem kapitoly Státní dluh."

Neni duvod stackovat saty, neumim zadnej najit.

Convenient excuse. Na tyhle veci tam maji mit davno pozitivni rezervy, a ne zvysovat schodky 👎

I smell the peak time for some mountain peaks in the air.

Too big & too late to quit. I'm glad for Jack managing to get out of this.

7 years ago, a friend and I were in the Chilean Andes, we hiked up a steep hillside to check out some local biking trails. At the top, he casually said, "I think I'll fly down." I was confused until he pulled out an ultralight paraglider from his backpack.

I watched in amazement as he ran off the hillside and smoothly flew down to the valley floor. The next day, I sold my bike, bought my first glider, and adopted flying as a new sport for exploring the mountains.

My two close friends and I bought wings together and took classes at a local paragliding school. The first steps off the cliff into the breeze is a surreal weightless feeling.

Our learning process wasn't without incidents and some very close calls prompted us to dedicate more effort to learning techniques, meteorology, and flying more often in easier conditions. I wanted to be safer through knowledge and experience. Risk to reward ratio became a major driver behind all flying missions.

Mountains vary a ton in weather and conditions so paragliders come in various sizes to accommodate different styles of flying. We quickly learned it was good to have a quiver to enjoy different weather conditions.

And a wing for high-speed descents and high speed wind.

As experienced kayakers, we could visualize air flow like a river, helping us progress quickly. We soon began tackling big mountain hike and fly goals in our backyards.

I started carrying a wing in my car trunk wherever I went, flying at official sites (where I could find them) and plenty of unofficial ones too. One of the coolest things about paragliding is hiking up a mountain and flying back down to your car.

Going to the ocean? Bring the wing. Great way to explore the beach.

I even used my mini wing to tow myself to the top of some epic backcountry skiing.

There is something beautiful about traveling with a small extra backpack that lets you fly around and see new locations from above. It's a call to hit the road and go exploring with any free time.

If you're interested in paragliding, here are some tips to hopefully help you avoid mistakes I made:

•⁠ ⁠Take lessons

•⁠ ⁠Buy a wing matching your experience level

•⁠ ⁠Fly with better pilots who can advise you

•⁠ ⁠Always fly with a GPS beacon

•⁠ ⁠Always carry a parachute & first aid kit with tourniquet

•⁠ ⁠Fly in late afternoons for dampened, easier conditions

- Know that is is totally ok to pack your wing up and walk away from a flight aka take your ego out of it.

Paragliding is an incredible sport/hobby that offers unique perspectives and pairs well with hiking and skiing in large mountains or beach life. Keep present that safety and proper training are crucial to enjoying your time in the air. Happy flying!

Beautiful write up.

Yea, fair point.

Tbh, I missed and overlooked the debit card loophole for not paying the surcharge at first. I'd word and highlight it differently.

It also caught me by surprise. The "no cash" has been spreading, but it might be one of the first surcharges on credit cards I've seen at the food trucks / breweries around here.

Mind blown today.

BBQ Food Truck has a sign "No Cash - Accepting Apple | Google Pay | Credit & Debit Cards"

Below that is attached a hand written note "All credit card payments 3% surcharge will be added to all credit card transactions".

Also, the guy complimented my Bitcoin T-shirt. But said they don't accept Bitcoin. "Hopefully soon, brother".

*BBQ tasted great but my head is still spinning when I think about it.

-International Events-

1. Israel says 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers hit in Lebanon: Israel has carried out extensive air strikes on southern Lebanon, saying its warplanes have hit more than 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers and other "terrorist sites" including a weapons storage facility. The IDF said the launchers were ready to be fired against Israel. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties. Earlier, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said deadly (electronics) explosions earlier in the week "crossed all red lines", accusing Israel of what he said represented a declaration of war. Israel has not said it was behind the attacks - which saw pagers and walkie-talkies explode simultaneously across the country - on Tuesday and Wednesday, and which Lebanese authorities said killed 37 people and wounded 3,000. (BBC)

2. Biden Poised to Approve Ukraine’s Use of Long-Range Western Weapons in Russia: President Biden appears on the verge of clearing the way for Ukraine to launch long-range Western weapons deep inside Russian territory, as long as it doesn’t use arms provided by the United States, European officials say. The issue, which has long been debated in the administration, is coming to a head on Friday, as Britain’s new prime minister, Keir Starmer, visits the White House. (NYTimes)

-US Events-

1. Kentucky sheriff charged in killing of judge at courthouse: The preliminary investigation indicates Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines shot District Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times following an argument inside the courthouse, according to Kentucky State Police. Mullins, who held the judgeship for 15 years, died at the scene, and Stines surrendered without incident.(AP) (AC-It might be enlightening to learn what they were 'arguing' about. There's more to this story.)

2. Former Teamsters leader criticizes non-endorsement of Harris for president: James P. Hoffa, who led the Teamsters for 23 years, said it was a mistake for the union not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, the “correct choice for labor.” (WaPo)

3. Alaska man charged with threats to torture, murder conservative Supreme Court justices: Panos Anastasiou, 76, was nabbed Wednesday in Anchorage and is facing 22 federal charges stemming from 465 alarming messages he sent via the Supreme Court’s website between March 10 and July 16, prosecutors say. The justices are not identified in the indictment, but details about Anastasiou’s messages indicate he targeted Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. (NYPost)

4. The Most Surprising New Gun Owners Are U.S. Liberals: American gun culture has long been dominated by conservative, white men. Now, in a marked change, a burgeoning number of liberals are buying firearms, according to surveys and fast-growing gun groups drawing minorities and progressives. Now, today’s Democrats are rediscovering guns. One new owner said he mostly talks about guns with other liberal or progressive gun owners, many of whom welcome gun restrictions. He sees no reason to own a military-style, semiautomatic rifle like the AR-15, and supports universal background checks. But the country’s sharp partisan divide renders compromise on guns extremely unlikely, he believes. (WSJ) (AC-An intriguing article, even if heavily slanted to portray Trump and conservative white men as dangerous.)

1. Louisiana Announces Crypto Payment Options for State Services: The U.S. state of Louisiana has announced that residents can now use bitcoin, bitcoin lightning, and USD Coin to pay for state services through private, secure crypto wallets. “By introducing cryptocurrency as a payment option, we’re not just innovating; we’re providing our citizens with flexibility and freedom in interacting with state services,” said Louisiana’s State Treasurer.

1. Canada Scraps Plan to Launch 'Digital Loonie' CBDC: After almost five years of research, the Bank of Canada has decided to shelve its plans for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), also known as a "digital loonie." The central bank had launched a research project in 2019 and conducted a public consultation in 2022. While a CBDC was seen as a way to maintain monetary sovereignty and financial stability, the idea faced strong opposition from Canadians and prominent figures in the government. (Decrypt)

-Institutional Concerns-

1. US spot bitcoin ETFs rebound to daily net inflows of $158 million; BTC hovers at $63,500 (TheBlock)

2. BlackRock amends Coinbase custody agreement to require 12 hour withdrawals amid debt rumors: The modifications shorten Coinbase Custody withdrawal processing time when handling withdrawals from the Vault Balance to a public blockchain address while Trade Credits remain unpaid. his development comes amid recent allegations against Coinbase, claiming the exchange was not using BlackRock’s funds to purchase actual bitcoins for the ETF. Social media rumors suggested that Coinbase was issuing letters of debt instead of backing the ETF with Bitcoin and manipulating Bitcoin’s price using BlackRock’s funds. (CryptoSlate) (AC-Blackrock simply making sure the BTC is available.)

-Economic Indicators-

1. S&P 500, Dow Close at Records High: Wall Street rallied on Thursday as sentiments boosted about a "soft landing" for the US economy after the Federal Reserve’s 50 basis point rate cut.

-Technology and Science-

1. Apple Faces EU Antitrust Challenge: The antitrust regulators of the European Union have launched an action against Apple as it seeks to force the tech giant to open its closed ecosystem up to other competitors.

The Cupertino-based firm has argued for quite some time that its closed system is safer through the control of peripheral devices and their software entering the system. (TechTImes)

-Bitcoin Community-

1. Bitcoin miner wallets awaken after over 15 years — Is this Satoshi?: Wallets belonging to early Bitcoin miners who received coins as rewards shortly after the blockchain’s launch by its pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, have recently been observed moving their BTC. On Sept. 20, five miner wallets that received 50 Bitcoin each as block rewards in 2009 started to move their funds. Given the BTC was mined only weeks after the launch of the Bitcoin blockchain, the wallets likely belonged to people present at its inception. (CoinTelegraph)
