so black people get melanoma at a maximum of 5% lower rate than white people? I don’t think that’s right. Dark complexion plays a much larger protective role than that
Aaron Swartz would have loved nostr.
Effectively the culmination of his life’s work.
1999: At the age of 12, he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, which is a format for syndicating web content.
2000: Swartz became a member of the Creative Commons organization, which aims to expand the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally.
2002: He founded the Infogami platform, which later merged with Reddit.
2005: Swartz joined Reddit as a co-founder after a merger with Infogami.
2006: He left Reddit and began working on various projects, including the development of the web application framework, "Open Library," which aimed to create a web page for every book ever published.
2008: Swartz was involved in the development of the "Demand Progress" organization, which focused on issues related to internet freedom and government transparency.
2010: He played a significant role in the campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), advocating for internet freedom. He also developed a tool that allowed users to download large amounts of data from PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), which was typically behind a paywall.
2011: Swartz was arrested for downloading a large number of academic journal articles from JSTOR with the intent to distribute them freely. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts pursued the case against Swartz, and he faced the possibility of severe penalties, including up to 35 years in prison.

a great reminder that martyrdom isn’t the best way to accomplish your goals. the world would be a better place with him still in it.
in my experience, weightlifting feels horrible when you haven’t done it for a while. But after going for a couple months consistently it starts to feel good, almost addicting.
I wonder if this has more to do with genetic skin complexion than sun exposure. For example, I’m sure melanoma rates are very low in sub-Saharan Africa despite heavy sun exposure (although I haven’t seen data on it)
fixed terms and never marked to market though, much better risk profile than most levered positions
my first step was to convince my no coiner friends to hold our payouts in BTC this year. Normies are much more likely to do this since they are already gambling anyway. But will cause them to learn more, watch the price, create an exchange account (River) to receive the payouts.
We will either use River link or lightning in River for the weekly high score transactions.
