Thinking about python, geospatial, forestry, and LiDAR in small-town Idaho.

I still remember the first time - 2014 a couple friends were mining with GPUs… I looked into it but it didn’t click. Don’t remember what made me look again in 2017 but it stuck that time.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s is it a known bug that DMs fail to decrypt in Damus if someone reacts to them?

It’s also more than just a lack of trust. Many scientific concepts (like bitcoin mining!) are complex and difficult to understand. We as a society have a really bad habit of reading one thing and then thinking that we understand the issue without digging deep. That trait has gotten far worse and is frequently abused by the media. They no longer need to provide real evidence.

Left tendencies: 100% due to climate change

Right tendencies: this satellite video proves it’s a climate change psyop (it doesn’t)

Reality: North America has had dismal forest management practices for the last half venture that have turned our forests into a literal tinderbox. Rising temps and storm frequency could have a very real impact, but the current situation is man made and the solution is investment in sustainable forestry programs.

I am quickly learning that people on both sides of the aisle are completely uneducated WRT wildfires and earth sciences.

Possible that this is state specific, but given everything else it may not be? Strike also specified for Idaho customers over email even though it sounds like it’s company wide.

Same. I’m just really bad at leaving in typos. That said I should get better at rereading before posting and I do think the lack of edit is sort of a feature in its own right.

To clarify, this question is more about indexing than hosting, but I would think that if nostr becomes a dominant force in public indexing it would also become a draw for music hosting.

But they have URIs to individual songs don’t they? Couldn’t there be a public database that associates like songs across services? Obviously the winner in that situation will be the most open service, but having the connection could be a massive draw

I am not using Spotify. I’m using a service that has decided to use Spotify playlists to organize music and all the kinks open directly to spotify. Obviously they should be using a more open standard, but in this social context a more open standard doesn’t yet exist…. Hence the question

How can we use nostr to unify the listening experience across platforms? I have a playlist on Spotify that I want to be able to access on another platform. Can’t we build a catalog of URIs that will make this easy? #stemstr

Yes. “Block” doesn’t really exist since you have no control over where your content goes. All mute does is hides content from the user because that is all nostr is designed to allow.

I want to hear #[0]​ interview #[1]​. I think that would be an amazing conversation.

Bitcoiners are already starting to fall into the trap of saying that the SEC has labeled ETH a security since their ETH staking program. That’s a bad argument. Don’t make it. We have better arguments for why POW is better than POS.
