Subnostr

Just backed nostr:npub1yxzkmtuyctjw2pffp6e9uvyrkp29hrqra2tm3xp3z9707z06muxsg75qvv ‘s Kickstarter for his new book. We must fight against #enshittification and I think #nostr will be a big part of that. We must #grownoster!

Congratulations nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf !!!

This is a huge accomplishment. I’ve been waiting for something like this ever since I heard the “and other stuff” part of #nostr. And you guided it through #likeaboss!

Can’t wait to see the conference app you’re building. nostr:note17xx8p065vkuhw5krjr2jjxgknxwfsukmu47lrn8uk5p9e6wp2q5snge84w

The combination of nostr-rs-relay nostr:npub1xhfxu35se0s63x90v8xr29txr66l5a3m277skshy2zvu3ve0658sla4xw3 and manage-relay-users nostr:npub1qjgcmlpkeyl8mdkvp4s0xls4ytcux6my606tgfx9xttut907h0zs76lgjw is f*king awesome.

It means you can spin up a relay and send it events to add npubs to a whitelist/blacklist.

This is a very powerful building block that can be used for all kinds of things, e.g. automatic spam control, paid relays, etc.

I’d like to see it manage allow/deny lists by Kind. For example, I’d like my relay to allow anybody to post Kind-3, but only allowed users to post most other Kinds, but then not allow anybody to post these other Kinds.

When money inflates in supply, employers have the benefit of the status quo, and wage earners have the burden of work to negotiate higher nominal wages to keep up.

The effect is subtle in developing countries, a few percentage points per year, but it's always there behind the scenes. People often have to switch jobs to get proper higher wages, and avoid the anchoring bias from their prior employer. This is all because of dilutive fiat money.

The problem becomes more obvious in developing countries.

For example, the IMF tells Egypt to cut its currency in half relative to the dollar, if it wants some loan relief. It does. Now, every Egyptian wage earner has to try to negotiate a raise to regain some portion of their prior wages in terms of global purchasing power. Virtually all of them will not be able to. And then seven years later they do it again.

But when money deflates in supply, and the unit of account therefore appreciates, wage earners gain the benefit of the status quo in negotiations. If their salaries merely remain the same as averages prices go down, they have gained a raise (which makes sense, with greater experience).

The burden of work shifts to the employer, who has to argue that wages should be cut in line with prices.

I think the magnitude of this effect is poorly understood. If it were more understood, I think a subset of labor-oriented political proponents would appreciate hard money a bit more.

It’s even better than that, though:

The deflation rate is simply the percent increase in overall value of the world economy given the constant money supply.

The more effective employees will have increased their own value at or above the deflation rate, so the employer wouldn’t need to (and shouldn’t) force a pay cut. The very best employees may even still get a pay raise.

It’s the below-average employees that may get a pay cut or laid off if their effectiveness does not go up over time.

As it should be.

The yellow zucchini is my favorite. I planted 12 of them myself. I was late to the game though and they’re not fruiting yet.

Omg. Stop it!😂💚

I don’t know what to do with all the zucchini, can’t eat it everyday… but yeah franny, plant a million zucchini plants… it’s okay.😂🌱

Just learned something for next year :p and we store as much as possible in glasses for winter…👀

If any of them get way too big (and some will, despite your best efforts), do this:

# Zucchini Pasta Sauce

Way-too-big zucchini

Olive oil

Jalapeño, seeds removed

Salt and pepper

Lemon juice

(Sorry, this recipe doesn’t really have amounts.)

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Cut into manageable lengths, 8” or so. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Get your BBQ raging hot and grill the zucchini until soft and slightly blackened.

Blend zucchini in food processor with jalapeño, more olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.

Serve over pasta. I like linguini, but you do you.

If you make too much, can the sauce in mason jars for the future.

haha I loved Napoleon Dynamite!

The movies that win the trophy for the greatest margin between "how good I hoped they were" vs "how good they actually were":

• The Last Jedi

• The Last Airbender

Shawn 2y ago

The Phantom Menace will always be the biggest letdown in movie history. The hype was huge and the movie was SO meh. The Last Jedi may or may not be a better movie than TPM, but by the time TLJ came out, I was already jaded so it didn’t hurt as bad.
