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

It seems like it is… if your whole feed is reposts then your follows are providing less value than doing other stuff, no? Do you tend to scan just “notes” or “notes and replies”? If you want to find more threads from your follows then scanning the second helps.

This map is a result of every person who saw something out of the corner of their eye or in the distance that they couldn’t explain and decided to label it “Sasquatch”. What’s the rate of occurrences implied by this map?

1 person 1 vote is also provably a poor mechanism for anything you want to function like a market

The obvious (not necessarily correct) answer here is that the election system is not a free or fair market.

Are you telling me you don’t quantify all of your monetary transactions in ounces of fresh Joe?!

Makes sense. I’m guessing this is really a logarithmic effect too. Adjustments by more than 1-2 follows is likely more a question of how strict you want global than it is dependent on your follow count

Guys, I fixed global

Of course, I also made it impossible for new people to find followers for people who use this feature. What should the default be for new users? I'm thinking 1 — enough to keep people safe, but a low enough bar to allow for discoverability.

Maybe it could make sense to scale the default based on the number of follows a user has? Seems like there is some trade-off there

One of the additions in the approval spec for community posts was to include both the naddr and event id in the approval event. It doesn’t fix the problem, but it at least lets the client display properly if an approval is out of date or invalid. In theory you could do the same with replies, though I agree it seems like a bit of a rabbit hole.

I've just pulled a bunch of country geojson so we can start to track merchant adoption stats per country using a variety of measures.

Will do! The git repo looks like something squarely in my wheelhouse that I would love to tinker with!

I think I have experienced this when I have poor relay connectivity and/or click on a post that I don’t have strong relay overlap with - it’s been a while though. All been snappy lately

Nice find! Yes, pyproj and shapely are probably way overkill in this instance unless you are extremely worried about the precision of the projection

Oh I totally thought you were talking about https://localbitcoins.com/

That is a service that should be immediately rebuilt on nostr.
