Last Notes
what i find when i stop looking at twitter for long stretches of time
is that i supplement scroll intake with Google News--which is more random and has nicer pictures.

TIL in google news that the Subaru boxer engine goes 300,000 miles but the CVT fails after 120,000
Cathie Wood is investing 30% of her porftolio in just 5 AI names. Which AI names? Tesla, SpaceX, Google, AMD, Amazon
The NASA Mars rover discovered a mysterious honeycomb pattern on Mars.

And as if on queue, TechLead drops a video about "doomscrolling". I'm assuming "doomscrolling" nowadays refers to any scrolling.
You know the feeling, you could be standing, walking, and you pick the phone up. You can feel your neck curling as your face drops forward down into your phone screen and you start scrolling thru youtube suggestions, posts, conversations, trying to find the right one for right now.
if I made a personal Nostr client, it would make a non-scrollable page to eliminate "doomscrolling'. it would have news boxes that would open each thread of conversation. once the threads were complete, the boxes would not renew with convos until the next defined time period.
Actually, Coracle already kinda looks like this. The boxes that have to be opened to "view thread" or "view parent" is a little bit of resistance. When I click "view thread" i'm falling into the thing that got my attention. when I click the X or click out of it, i'm exiting.
it gives a finality to the feeling. A "Stop" sign on the doomscroll roll.

This is pretty cool. An agent paying by itself for tool execution. In the demo the agent pays for listing and discovering relays through the @nprofile…gw67 's relayVM server. 🔥🔥

That's a great idea! 💚💚💚💚💚🤌
Thanks! Good morning! 🌻💜🤙
Not surprised to see you're a monero faggot. XMR seems to collect the dumbest people. Well anyways, you're blocked.
Wages are elastic, tho. Inflation mostly hurts people on fixed incomes and those people don't buy Bitcoin
⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - A 36-year-old man in Colorado is suing the hospital where he was born for allegedly switching him with another child at birth.
Jeremy Morrison says he always felt different than his family and decided to get a DNA test a couple of years ago.
When he got the test back, he found out that his parents were not actually his parents.
"I know I definitely wouldn’t be here in Colorado today if I went home with the right parents. I would have been working the farm with my older brother that I never knew I had," he said.
Morrison says he was switched with Kyle Bylin, who was born just hours apart at the same hospital in Grafton, North Dakota, in 1988.
Morrison went home with Bylin's biological parents, and Bylin went home with Morrison's biological parents.
Both of the men and their families are suing Unity Medical Center. They are demanding more than $50,000 and a jury trial.
According to KKTV, both parents have now met their biological sons.

There are some products that Greece exports and are more expensive in Greece than in Germany. This is called market manipulation and corruption. Not taxes, fees etc.
⚡️🇺🇸 WTF - A plane in the United States was forced to land after the sound of the adhan was heard from a passenger's phone.
A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Tennessee to Florida was forced to make an emergency landing in Atlanta. Upon landing, a SWAT team boarded the aircraft and detained one of the passengers, accusing him of terrorism and posing a bomb threat.
It was later revealed that the detained passenger was a Muslim. During the flight, his prayer-time app activated and played the adhan (the Islamic call to prayer). The crew reportedly interpreted the sound as a potential security threat, notified dispatchers, and decided to make an emergency landing.

Yes, I thought about that. It would be cleaner though if I can just tell people to contact me directly at my regular npub. Also using another key for DMs doesn't necessarily address the issue of being able to promise some degree of privacy to the people who contact you.
It's one thing to use DMs with people you're already acquainted with. It's another thing to go out and solicit the general Nostr user base to send you DMs. After all, the persons you're soliciting might then have an expectation that the info they send you is kept private, and I'm wondering if Nostr DMs are mature enough to justify that expectation.
Maybe the solution is just to tell people that they can DM you, but attach a disclaimer that I don't actually fully know how well DMs currently guarantee privacy.
Just something I thought about recently, and your post reminded me of it.
they can manage to be better with different fiat currency but they will still be inflated away, they will loose purchasing power to buy a house, groceries etc, it happens with usd, eur, all. Fiat system is designed to keep you poor.
whoa cool yes. where is it?
Why kill the golden goose?
If you have a 4-7 year mandate (literally need to give back investor capital at the end), you’re in a rush to do that. Get as many eggs out of the goose as possible until it is sick, then slaughter it. Then keep doing that. Buy geese, optimize near-term eggs.
But if there’s no near-term mandate to return capital, holding strong business can provide cash flows for decades. That’s what Berkshire does with companies it buys outright. Lets them run for decades, multiplying the entry price over and over. OJ intends to go public in the coming years, so investors can sell their shares for liquidity while the company itself keeps compounding cash flows.
I'm interested in technologies that keep the signer key safe and make signing convenient. I haven't focused on that part, but it's complementary to Inkan.
Let me take a look at what you build. If you have a favorite description of it somewhere, feel free to point me to it.
I think this is all really important to the advancement of the protocol.
PE funds typically spin out a business with high debt when they are done. Hollowed them out, setting them up with a high failure rate after value has been extracted.
When we buy a business, it’ll become part of the OJ company, which is intended to to be managed with a strong balance sheet. If a business we own runs into a challenge or could benefit from more capital, it has backup from the parent company.
Our holding period is intended to be decades or more. Like what Berkshire Hathaway does with its wholly-owned acquisitions.
Nothing lasts forever, and there are scenarios where we might have to wind something down or let it go, but the point is we intend to buy companies and hold them indefinitely or until the company one day becomes unviable. We don’t have a 4-7 year mandate to flip it out.
Feel free to reach out to us with your business.
people can use whatever they want, that's why most are poor. People use many altcoins but Bitcoin still has the largest market cap, that tells something.
Totally! Got rid of any microwave brain cooker a couple of years ago
That just means you're stupid
Ohmygosh that will be amazing!
oh yeah ive seen this lol
The double holes almost got me

This is a problem I was facing recently, i.e. asking other Nostr users to get in touch with me privately.
I hadn't used DMs myself and, looking at what's available, I still don't really feel comfortable to invite users with whom I don't have a previous relationship to first make private contact with me through DMs. So I ended up just posting an email address for other users to contact me.
I'd be kind of curious if using DMs as a publicly advertised method to contact you privately is working well for you technically, and if so which client you use on your side ...
🟣 Primal ist aktuell meine Lieblings-Spark-Wallet für Nostr.
Self-Custody, läuft auf Spark und Nostr Wallet Connect ist richtig gut umgesetzt.
Die Fees sind mir bei Micropayments etwas zu hoch - aber für Nostr-Use-Cases ist Primal sehr stark.
