second year in a row that the only reason I will have tomatoes this year is because of volunteers. I tried to grow several this year but I left them out and a frost got them. So I’ve cloned the volunteer from the early prunings. And have 5 plants in solo cups now. Keeping my fingers crossed I can get these into the ground, without some failure.


Human beings have not evolved beyond Dunbars number. To assume that anyone *can* or *should* keep up with the interactions produced by people choosing to follow them, when they exceed Dunbars number by orders of magnitude is to ask them to be inhuman.

When the unrealistic expectations we have put on them are not being met we become aggrieved. We feel slighted because we were not interacted with as a fellow human should.

Are we justified being aggrieved, IMO no. The technology is putting us in situations that will create the kind of feeling, slighted on one side and apathy on the other. Either don’t use the technology or use it with the limits of humanity in mind.

JUNE PERMACULTURE NEST WILL BE ALL ABOUT FOOD FORESTS

I’m still learning who the chase Oliver guy is. I don’t think voting for president does much. And I think investing more energy into yourself, family, property etc is orders of magnitude more important. But if I’m going to do it, and I typically do, I can’t imagine voting for any other party than LP. It may be a dumpster fire, and I may not personally agree with the personal opinions of every LP candidate but if I’m going to spend anytime voting, it’s the closest to what I think the size and role of government should be. I’m not going to deviate from that because one bad is screwing the other bad.


They finally found him.


Stay open to new information.


Yes I think this must be the case. They vine for 4 to 6 feet. When I first started cracking open seed catalogs I could find pole beans, and bush beans, but where are these half runners I’m supposed to get. The internet says they are an open pollinated mixed lineage from bush and pole beans. But I don’t know if that’s true. I can’t be certain if these are the same but you can search for “mountaineer half runners” they look right.

The seeds are white. The bean pod is light green. Plant is green.


Hypothetically it reduces the variance in the amount you get rugged yourself. If you assume some distribution of mints that will eventually rug you, say 10%, and you use 10 mints on average one will rug you and if you distributed your sats evenly you loose 10% of what you held in mints. If you had all for sats in a single mint you would have a 10% chance of losing it all, but a 90% chance of keeping it all. The expected value is the same. But one strategy has less variance. And humans are usually risk averse so you like reduced variance. But the expected loss would still converge to the percentage of mints that will rug you either way.


Why do you think the majority of libertarian delegates voted for Chase Oliver?


*One Duckrection*


I may have picked them late? But yeah sounds reasonable. All touching Appalachia as well.


Beautiful, inspiring.


I will have to try that. I planted radishes again mostly because I wanted their tops but haven’t quite figured what makes a radish good yet. Does the roasting mellow them?


There is a type of green bean that all the old timers/ grandparents in our area would say is “The green bean” you should grow nothing else is worth your time. We call them “half runners” I haven’t found large seed suppliers carry them. But you can buy them at local feed and seed stores in a brown paper bag. I’ve grown these beans and my experience is that they are very tough and chewy. Maybe I’m just bad at growing them. But they are excellent if you are canning or making ham, potatoes, and green bean dishes which are typically cooked for half a day around here. They hold their texture and don’t turn to mush. No one said why the half runners were must have, the older generation just assumed you would be canning.

I don’t know how common potatoes, green beans, and ham is outside of southwest Ohio. Maybe very common? But around here how long that dish is cooked is tied to the expectation you are using half runners. But it’s all unexplained and unspoken.


Might be true. I’ve frequently thought the sleepless nights of various kinds especially in those first three months may have a detrimental impact on health. Wouldn’t be the first species that would sacrifice themselves for their progeny. Because that kind of is the definition of parenthood.

Thanks! I will remember


The ones we killed were all babies. Once we started planting them we went through 3 or 4 seasons before we kept one alive.

I think the turnaround was watering 1 gallon a day for 2-4 weeks at the start of all of them. Once we figured that out we stopped killing them


Anything you did to stop killing them? Or lots of small things? I haven’t started killing them yet, but I want to.


Looks great how long ago did you start?


Many people look at things they don’t like happening in the world and they reach for a government to impose a solution to stop that thing. Often the thing they don’t like is an unintended consequence of a previous government solution if not an outright result of the government’s preference, or the corruption of and abuse of the power of a government.


Welcome


When immigration was very permissive in the US the shipping companies that brought people to the US we’re financially responsible for the return of attempted immigrants if they were not given entrance at Ellis Island (about 2%) and they were financially responsible for the housing of any on Ellis Island if they were quarantined or held for any other reason.

Now, when immigration is legally restrictive. The transportation and robbing and worse of the attempted immigrants is the side hustle of violent drug cartels who use the distraction of the masses to smuggle other contraband across the border.

People really don't realize how utterly dependent modern surveillance is on the idea that everybody is carrying a phone — which is always tracked. Their car has a cellular modem in it — which is always tracked. 99% of investigation is one guy and a search box. If you're not low-hanging fruit, you aren't gonna merit the Eye of Sauron of manual, well-resourced, focused team attention—and if you did, you probably planned ahead for it, right? Because it's not a mystery what would get you on Santa's Naughty List.

Anyway, the point is that even in a big city, the phoneless guy in a "covid" mask is going to be invisible to anything less than that exhaustive manual investigation — at least for a few more years. That may go away once they start networking all the cameras and having AI start trying to match up clothing sets moving from camera to camera, butthat capability is hard to hide, so it'll be in the news. And it won't work that well in places with less camera density and, perhaps, for people who wear the most-common outfits (the visual equivalent of a "shared fingerprint").

Remember: Phones are useful, but dangerous. And the people who will still wear covid masks to the beach are helping to normalize facial obscurity—regardless of their intention. Don't be mean to them. Encourage them to wear them everywhere. For passport photos. In police booking photos. At the customs desk. Family portraits! The sky is the limit—let them push the boundaries so that you don't have to.

Nominating a candidate for the party in exchange for the release of one prisoner feels like a loosing proposition to me if that’s all libertarians would be getting. I don’t think an organization could do that. If we are in a negotiation you never take the first offer. More policy objectives please. As long as we are playing hypotheticals, how about a VP pick, the ending of a few executive orders, and the adoption of some core libertarian tenets in the Republican Party platform (Debt reduction, policy on Bitcoin, reduction of subsidies across all industries, etc) not claiming libertarians get them all, but selling the whole party for one thing, that effects one person, feels cheap. With as fractured as the libertarian party is it would likely end it. If the libertarian party is going to end as a result of a nomination, that nomination should come with some guarantees that shift the direction of one of the other parties platforms atleast. The LP is too purest for any of this to happen though.

The classics


I find myself unfortunately in need of help finding a home for my flock of chickens. I'm moving from a small rural farm to a house in the city, and the arrangements I had previously made for the birds have fallen though.

The chickens are in the US in Virginia, and so I'm looking for anyone in any nearby state (including West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Delaware, or even Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky) who could take them in. Basically anywhere I can reasonably drive them.

There are nine hens and a rooster, and they are all 8-11 years old, well past prime laying age. They need a place where they can live out their lives in safety and comfort. One of the hens is blind but has been blind for many years now and is fine as long as she has a roost bar to perch on with nearby food and water.

I am absolutely willing to pay for their feed and care, and I could even pay for and/or personally construct a coop/run for them to live in.

I've tried contacting nearby rescue organizations but the only one who is even accepting chickens has room for just a few of the hens. If you can help please email me at: chicken (at) npgr.com

(Boosts appreciated)

Well That escalated quickly for a friendly morning joke. Good luck.

Welcome


If you can’t read your own opinion articulated without hearing a tone of sarcasm, you may have some cognitive dissonance to work through.


What are you talking about, I’m agreeing with you. Once you make masks illegal, criminals will stop concealing their identity when they are committing crimes. Just as this law intends, it’s a brilliant law. I see no possible unintended consequences.


Nature bites.


Criminals are well renowned rule followers. I’m sure they will now stop hiding their identity when committing crimes. Also I’m sure they would stop using guns if we asked them.

Example?

I would test them with an opportunity to do something they like doing.

“Act like their brain has literally been wiped?”, “they wake up like it’s their first day of life”

Can they walk?
Can they use a cup?
Can they ever turn on the TV by themselves?
Do they play normally?

Or are you talking about chores and “academic” things. Like sight words, and age appropriate math?


With the end that it had, I was certain there would be a second. Disappointing nothing came of it.

If anyone wants to test nip-03 (opentimestamps) i have an experiment that I’m running over here, each note has an ots proof (kind 1040) that stamps each note id into bitcoin.

This is done in the most efficient way possible to not be spammy. The way ots works is via calendar servers take many stamp requests and arranges them in a merkle tree. This allows you to combine many stamps, potentially millions or more, into a single OP_RETURN output which doesn’t bloat the utxo set.

This allows you to attest that some piece of data existed at some point in time, something you can’t really do on nostr since anyone can fake timestamps.

In my usecase it’s kind of a novelty, but also doesn’t allow me to cheat or lie. Maybe this is useful on other contexts, so throwing this out there. nostr:note1c6pnvs02tqr6v7kfwxtfkxkyjnxx0wt8gl8jrqlukj0g0w995plscfw3la


Civil liberties isn’t the same as privacy. Clearly candidates do need freedom of speech to be able to critique the status quo and persuade changes. And they need the freedom to organize and assemble into protests, rallies, etc. I think civil liberties are key to the actions that Candidates would be performing.

You might be right, do you have any examples of what civil liberties are given up currently? If you have some examples I would probably question if when someone is in office that may be one thing as they would have the power at that point, but until they are swore in, I think violating a civil liberty of a running candidate flirts dangerously to giving the government tools to become authoritarian. Atleast that’s my default position.


1) The government then will imprison / fine any candidate to accept money from Non US citizens, probably doable. But every campaign contribution would have to be KYC’d. This creates a lot of overhead of tracking and compliance which means it will advantage large parties.

2) The government then will imprison or fine anyone who contributes money to a candidate. This would violate free speech and freedom to assemble, perhaps other rights. Not to mention If I’m running a campaign and you make it illegal for someone to give me money, then they just give money to my brother, or a loosely connected Nonprofit. Then my brother or this nonprofit spends their money saying really nice things about me and saying mean things about my competition. Getting my voters registered, etc. If not my brother, then my friends. Or a fan club. It’s a game of Wack-a-mole.

3) The government imprisons or fines any candidate that doesn’t participate in the sanctioned debate event. I would doubt the government could actually require participation.

4) The government gets to imprison or fine any candidate that doesn’t meet a standard of behavior during the debate. (likely enforced asymmetrically against candidates the “government” doesn’t like). Violates free speech unless your standard of behavior is not threatening violence. The abuse would be pretty authoritarian.

Few nostr:note16mn2zuy3x4z4p2q2r2pwt5mm0eqv30p6cys9kktz0lyd7xqzzl8sksn62w


I’m no pro but here is what I have observed. They aren’t very sweet by themselves and have a bit of a bright flavor that finishes with a bitter/tanic flavor, they need to be very ripe to not have much. Ideally how ripe is essentially they fall off the shrub with a brush of the hand. Partly why I’m experimenting with them in jams this year is try to find something they shine at. They likely aren’t going to be your favored fresh eating table or dessert fruit. But I have acquired a bit of an appreciation for them even fresh, but it’s partly out of duty or “medicine”. I’m testing if they shine as a flavor that opens up when cooked and after adding sweetness in processing.

I made some jam a week or so that was a combination of 50% strawberry and 50% haskap, equal cups of sugar as fruit. Which was banging. This time around I was trying to isolate the haskaps to see if they what their solo flavor was. Right now I would have confidence to say they can be worked in with other berries for diversity, brightness, to take advantage of their incredible color, or ample pectin. Or you can use them solo if you add enough sugar and they would pair well with otherwise rich foods like cheesecake.

Fruit grows under the leaves so you either have to get down low or else pull back the branches to see them underneath. If the fruit doesn’t come off easily I’d let them ripen more. Fruit doesn’t ripen uniformly so you will pick over the same shrub multiple times. And will need to check daily. Care has been pretty easy I’ve done nothing to them since planting. They grow in the same beds as strawberries which I let run rampant. My plan was to let the strawberries burn out in that bed after a few years and by then the shrubs would be established. Its worked out well so far.


Fresh haskap jam. Just experimenting, this batch made with honey. A trade name for haskaps are honey berries and I was short on granulated sugar, so thought this name was worth trying. #jam #foodstr #grownostr

I think of this from time to time and I think it’s mostly true. But I also think that while the details of a person are lost, the impact a person has on their descendants lives on in unsaid ways from generation to generation it’s a type of culture.

I think this says the control group of Moderna was unblinded after 5.3 months after the second dose. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2113017


“If people cannot communicate with each other because they have been poisoned against hearing or understanding the language used by others, then everyone becomes easier to manipulate.”

Mic drop.


Honestly, I think in the zeal for Bitcoin we demonize the Fed monetary system more than there is evidence for. Like saying *what we have now is one of the worst we could have.* Is it really?
There are other monetary systems that have categorically failed with hyper inflation. And other monetary systems that no longer exist for us to look at because those who tried them failed already. What we see now is a biased sample of only the survivors presently. What we have, must be quantifiably better than those, so ours can’t be one of the worst.

I do think all fiat eventually collapses. But the run of the Fed historically 1919 to the present, even with the spikes of inflation and recessions. It also for the most part served its function as providing a medium of exchange. And the period before the Fed also experienced inflation and boom/bust cycles. So ending the Fed won’t stop that.

Yes the purchasing power of the dollar has declined by ~95% Over the time. Savers over that range got hosed, and all the hard money criticisms follow for how that may be manipulating the economy and people and incentives. But I think the difference between the BTC dream and the current Fed system is smaller than the difference between what we have now and what the worst could be. So I think before we end the Fed we should have something lined up to replace it. if you end the Fed before BTC is adopted as the reserve currency. Then what you will likely get is worse. Just my opinion.


That would be fine, that would be good. It’s just not the direction I would expect.


It’s an impressive tree. Have you seen the Angel Oak in Charleston? Similar vibe.


I can imagine worse. So I’m less excited.


How do you know it’s not a typical flight path pattern? Where is this filmed?


What if we ended the Fed, and then Congress instituted something worse? Like Congress determines the money supply, think that would be inflationary?

Additionally What you are going for is, if you hold up lined paper so the lines are going vertically, to let your eyes out of focus so that you would start seeing double, ((as if looking at something through and passed the page) and then focus your eyes where the doubled lines of the page overlap. You can then play with bringing into focus lines that are two lines apart, three lines apart, 4 and so on. The action of seeing past the page and focusing on the doubled image made by the overlapping is what you are going for.

In between your beds you have a green strip. Don’t have perennial things there on purpose or was that just a walking edge. And do you find that is a lot of edge to maintain or no?

I lost my mother last year.

Since that point, I've had so many moments where I saw or did something I knew she'd love, and couldn't share it with her; so many questions I wanted to ask her that I know I'll never get an answer to.  It's been particularly tough to not be able to share milestones or ask questions about being a mother now that I am one, too.

She wasn't in good health, but her passing was still sudden and unexpected.  Things I thought for sure we'd get around to doing someday will never happen.

I'm thinking about her a little extra today.
If you also don't have your mom with you today, my heart goes out to you.  If you do, this is just me saying that time is precious, and the people who love us are even more so.

💛


I can confirm go out and pick at like 6:30am when there is dew on the ground still and a chill in the air. Pick the strawberries and you will find slugs on a few. Can’t be 100% certain this is your picture though.

What was the guideline you violated?


You can’t sell it, but can you prepare it for people for a price. Two methods, 1st like a farm to table Groupon experience dinner for two kind of thing. 2nd A get to know your farmer celebration, buy a table, it comes with a bucket of beer kind of thing. In both cases what you are really doing is building a customer base or strengthening that relationship. They get to try it, you get to show off the product, they pay for a meal, you establish future customers, you get paid for what you have produced.


Or raise prices.


Strawberry season has arrived. Just picked with the kids. #gardening

Interesting, What words would you use?


What is the UX for something like this? Each signing event, would ask me for my camera and a take a picture of the QR code?


In the hiring process the HR recruiter will probably ask what your expectation is. If you have a current job that makes X I would tell them your expectations are X + Y. Y being whatever you want to be making for your next career move. Don’t tell them what you are currently making, lie, and tell them what you want to be making as what you are currently making.

If you get to the interview do your best to make the good impression. Show your knowledge and experience. Be very positive, and excited for the role. If they follow up to give you an offer. And it’s below X + Y. Tell them you are interested in the role and think it would be a good fit ( presuming you want the job) But you are currently already making X + Y. And would need At least parity to consider moving or would expect X + Y + Z if you have told them X + Y is what you are making.

They will either meet your number, or something less. If less is it greater than X? If so consider the job if you can see yourself working there for atleast 2 years at that salary. You may consider if you can get more somewhere else. But if it’s a step up feel good about yourself for making that happen in your life.

If you accept the job.
Work the two years as best you can before popping your head up and looking elsewhere for another move. The goal would be to use those two years to accomplish something to put on your resume. Then repeat. Otherwise I would do research to try to find the salary ranges of that job, Google search, check out Glassdoor etc.

Those that think this way also don’t know that Twitter and any other company also can’t even be sure of the follower count. Even in a centralized service. Developers introduce hacks and bugs to get things done, intentional and unintentional. How many times have we heard complaints from people saying they suddenly “lost a lot of followers”. Because they eliminated bots was one explanation, but knowing which accounts are bots is not a perfect science, and there is certainly room for the follower counting process to have bugs. Many of us work at software companies, we all know where skeletons are. I have worked at companies that disagreed internally about the number of clients we had. Depends on what your logic is when running the query and there is room for debate on what an accurate count is. Do you count all existing users? Do you only count active users? Etc etc. In twitter’s case there just isn’t anyone else to argue with.


The great news is that these two desires are not mutually exclusive because one of the main reasons for the lack of affordable housing is the zoning restrictions placed on properties. Zoning restrictions which require minimum sqft housing, minimum lot sizes, and exclusively single family homes are by their definition not free markets and they regulate out of existence affordable housing.

The distinction exists between what debt is and what the unit of account is.

Debt is not negative dollars. (Negative units) it is a promise to pay someone something in the future. So even though Charlie has a debt of 32 trillion dollars (a promise to pay someone 32 trillion in the future) it isn’t the case that Charlie has 0 or a negative number of dollars in his checking account.

Specifically if Charlie gets a 32 trillion dollar loan, that means someone gives him 32 trillion dollars today in exchange for charlie’s promise to pay it back in the future. So unless Charlie has already spent the loan he should have 32 trillion dollars in his checking account.

What Charlie has to give out as a loan to Alice is a secondary question unrelated to what Charlie owes someone in the future.

And why would Bob accept Alice’s payment when it comes from Charlie who owes 32 trillion? Because Bob isn’t getting paid with a promise to be paid in the future backed by Charlie who is at risk of bankruptcy. Bob is getting cash from Alice who borrowed it from Charlie. Where did Charlie get the cash to give to Alice. Bob doesn’t know and doesn’t care. what he is getting from Alice is non revocable. Alice has borrowed from Charlie but given what she has borrowed to Bob. Alice might get her legs broke if she doesn’t pay Charlie back. That’s not Bob’s problem. And if Alice’s failure to pay Charlie causes Charlie to be unable to pay back a portion of his 32 trillion debt that’s not Bob’s problem. Does that make sense?


Running nostrudle.


Yeah we have it in south west Ohio but sounds like it has spread around a lot. I will have to give it a try.


Well, you would loan the amount if you think the return you will make on the loan compared to the risk of them not being able to pay it back is a good trade off.

Beyond that it’s individual preference but apparently there are still enough people buying bonds. However the credit worthiness has declined slightly from atleast two of the rating agencies I believe.


Again, are men more likely to get hit by lightning? If you really mean this, then while walking in a field two people one man, one women, same hight, you would be saying it’s more likely for the man to be struck by lightning.

Or does the data really suggest that men are in situations where they can be struck by lightning more often.

If you control for that, what variation may still exist may be again explained by the height difference not necessarily the difference in gender. Or some other artifact like (just making this up) men’s shoe choices and the conductivity of them.

Only after you have removed all these effects is what is left over actually the effect of the gender itself.

This is very hard to do and there is nearly no end to the confounding factors which may be present.

In reply to the Jared Bernstein video.

My understanding of what he should have been able to say:

The government prints money primarily to replace bills and coins in circulation. While It taxes and borrows money to finance government operations. When the government borrows (foreign or domestic) or taxes the public, the money is “coming from somewhere” and so the money supply is not as increased as if the government would finance itself with new money “coming from nowhere” by just printing it. When the government prints to finance operations, essentially every dollar spent is a new dollar and it dilutes the value of all other dollars in proportion to their existence in circulation. AND then when the government pays payroll or pays contracts, that money is put into banks by people and companies and additionally the fractional reserve banking system increases the money supply through the money multiplier effect. (Essentially the government debt held by a bank can then be used as collateral for loans to they bank which they can then loan out at an interest rate higher than the interest rate they are paying, which cascades into a number of other loans. So the loan then gets deposited and loaned again to some limit determined by the policies of the FED and market dynamics)

When the government finances from borrowing, the only inflation that occurs is from the money multiplier effect not on any direct increase in currency in circulation.

When the government finances purely from taxes therefore, no debt created, then there is no inflation.


How effective do you find it?

Here is an example of lies, damn lies, and statistics.

The cdc compiled the total annual deaths by animal to find out cows are more lethal than sharks. Well no.

Because what they should have done is taken the fatalities and normalized them  with estimated human proximity hours. Cows kill more people, but a lot of people are handling a lot of cows everyday.

While an incredibly small number of people are within proximity to a shark. Once normalized for proximity hours I would be willing to bet your intuition about which animals are the most dangerous is about right.

It felt a bit like a funeral for a man still living. With all attendees and his greater family, knowing the next time they will all meet will likely be his actual funeral. No one willing to say that exactly, but everyone wanting to take the time to say the things they wanted to say before they couldn’t.

A man able to reach near the end of his life, know he is near the end, look back and reflect on it. His words for us that evening were that he was the man he was because of his parents, how he was raised, his faith, and who he married. The quote he lived by “To love another person is to see the face of God” and I can attest every interaction I witnessed from him from my fairly limited exposure (I married into the family) was intentional, welcoming, and kind.

The way he lived his life, spirals through his children’s, grand children’s, and great grandchildren’s lives and as he saw it, it was sourced from his parents. Four generations attributing who they were to him in the room with the patriarch attributing who he was to the generation before him.

Make of this what you will. I’m just reporting on it.

As far as I can tell your description fits the present day United States perfectly. Central bank, subsidies, taxation, etc. And I think that is what you mean to imply. And then you say therefore there is no significant difference in conditions between what the US has now and full blown communism. And that a communist would then not need for any of the other nationalization that is common that we have seen historically in communist countries. And would help us to name it as communism proper.

But if that’s all true then why is it so obvious that both in history and in our present that actual communists would not be continent with what has already been achieved in present day US.

Your claim is that they have achieved everything authoritarian that they wanted but they wouldn’t have achieved any of the things they claim they are after in Karl Marx’s manifesto. No communist would look around at present day US and say “Congratulations boys, we did it!” A communist would still complain about the present income inequality and the factors of production and want to control both. And they would still complain about prices being set by individual producers and how that puts comrades against each other so prices and private property should be controlled and all those ramifications. If there is no significant difference in conditions between what we have now and full blown “call it by its name” communism then it cannot get any worse than it is. But it clearly can get so much worse. Like the mass starvation, the forced labor and education camps and killing fields. So there must be a significant difference in conditions that remain.


No significant difference in conditions.🤔

TL;DR From the period that this data exists, 2011 to 2022 the FED was making a profit on their operations in each period. (Blue line graph)

From the period of 2022 to the present they are operating at a loss in each period. (Red line graph)

In the graphic that shows both the profit as a flow and the loss is a stock amount. So when the Fed earns a profit they give it to the US Treasury, when they operate at a loss they barrow from themselves to pay off before they would return profit to the US treasury.

Patty was an 07. I guess that probably played into the rust dynamic as well.


One aspect of this is that since the overall direction is down, and the wavy ramp never inclines above the linear ramp, the inclined parts in the wavy ramp are more like a neutral slope which gets you back to the linear ramp only to decline again. So momentum gained by the more drastic slope is not subtracted by an equal incline.

To be contrarian on the meme, I would say this isn’t actually an example of ups and downs. Only downs. The wavy ramp was born rich and had things given to it on a silver platter. A true up and down ramp/life would incline above the steady linear line in equal measure departing from the linear slope (-) and (+). To reach the end at the same level.


In a the past they would sound close to making sense as a solution to something. But never quite the full picture made sense. I don’t know why people keep falling for them.

This has been a great week! My brother and I have built a new shelter for his chickens out of cattle panel, wire, and junk (wood from recycled box springs and billboard plastic).

We relocated the chickens from their greenhouse in town to their new property. Today we will disassemble the greenhouse and move it out to the property.

We also inoculated logs with pearl oyster mushroom spawn and are ready for family to visit next week.

I am new to Nostr and it has been a great experience to learn about it this week!

Having trouble with clients or the Push notifications. I’ve been able to connect to highlighter using the Nostr address and  connect to coracle but only using the bunker URL. But I can’t seem to get shipyard or Flare to connect. And there is no notification in shipyard or flare when attempting. Let me know if there is any information I can add.

In the instruction on nsec.app I see the note on allowing push APi for iOS. When I created the PWA for nsec.app I did enable notifications for the app which I think is the same thing. But just a note that I couldn’t find anything in advanced settings to toggle “Push APi” I presume this would be on a Mac?

I had just gotten my first real job after graduating from college and had moved out into my first apartment. I had taken to going to the local grocery store (Kroger) and walking the inner perimeter. I would pick up whatever meat was on sale in the manager’s special area. One night I bought pork something, looked like this but I would swear to you it said “shoulder”. I Cooked it like a steak in my steel pan, ate it like a steak. And damn was it good. Went back the next week to look for it properly and couldn’t find it. What is this cut of meat sir, do they sell it as a “pork steak” or something else? I’m chasing that feeling. 😀😋

What I’m listening to while doing the dishes tonight.

https://politicalorphanage.libsyn.com/was-life-easier-in-the-fifties


I have not publicly spoken much or asked questions about this for a few reasons. Firstly because I consider you to be a personal friend and I feel that you try to do the right thing in each of the projects and organizations that you are involved with. You helped our project out in numerous ways, especially early on when our core concept was brand new and still being proven out.

Neither opensats nor dorsey owes our project anything. I have been very clear about this, and I moreover feel that opensats is a net good for both the bitcoin and the nostr communities. But I have also avoided asking questions about the status of grants, much less about potential conflicts of interest, because I did not want to spoil Keith's chances at a grant, or negatively impact anyone else who might apply in the future for a SeedSigner-related grant. I think this speaks to the same self-censorship dynamics that jb55 has referenced.

You insinuate in the above that there has been at least one vote on a SeedSigner related grant. This would be news to me because I had the understanding that applications related to SeedSigner were being considered but were deactivated when it became known that Keith had received funding from the HRF.

While a required threshold of "yes" votes for a successful grant is of course entirely reasonable, "no" votes (especially emphatic ones from persons of influence) can cut quite effectively in the opposite direction. nvk's repeated, persistent, very public criticisms of our project communicate something like personally motivated animus rather than any sort of good-faith conscientious objection. Even were he to openly abstain from a formal vote on SeedSigner related grants (which would be in line with opensats' publicly established policies) other board members are likely to be influenced by his numerous public statements. It's honestly troubling that someone running a company that embraces "source available" as an attempt to rebrand what open source means, and who has referred to good/faith FOSS proponents as "commies", should be in a position to decide who does, or who does not, receive open source grant funding.

Some very legitimate questions are being raised about the parties providing funding, their motivations, the entities receiving funding (and those who aren't), the specific tech they're working on, and those who are directly (and indirectly) involved in the funding decision making process. I don't think these questions are being asked because of prototypical bitcoiner contrarian suspicion, but rather are the result of an evolving pattern of observable events; some might call what they are seeing as potential "aligned malincentives". The opensats funding dynamics and scale may also be arriving at a point where larger structural dynamics are coming into play and a "just trust me" approach to public relations and organizational ethics becomes increasingly less and less viable.

So where from here? I don't have a good answer and none of these are my decisions to make. Hopefully opensats just has a short-term public perception challenge that can be resolved with better communication and more transparency. But bitcoiners are a skeptical bunch and these questions aren't going away if they aren't addressed.

Lastly -- I believe that you personally have a good heart and I'm rooting for your success.

(NB - I am speaking here under the exorbitant privilege of operating this account as SeedSigner "the man"; my comments may not reflect the opinions of all, or even of any, of our contributors.)

I read what you said on free riders. Here why I wasn’t convinced by it.

“People not contributing to infrastructure while supporting themselves in productive ways is a far smaller problem than 50+% of people living as active monetary leeches.” I think your +50% are leeches claim is a bit dubious (you include everyone that receives a subsidy or is employed directly by the state, but there is no reason to believe a purely voluntary system of funding the government would result in that hypothetical government from having the same or similar subsidies, employment, and contractor relationships as they do now. It would only be in your choice to fund those or not) but that’s not my main beef . You aren’t claiming there is no free rider problem, only that you think it’s less of a problem than the “leeches”. I make the claim the magnitude of the free rider problem is large enough that a society of people far exceeding Dunbars number will fail to protect itself from “strong men” from using sufficient violence in their oppresive systems to subdue a purely voluntary system. That’s it. I agree with you that taxation is theft. I agree with you that it is therefore an immoral system. But it doesn’t follow necessarily that a moral system will be able to protect itself. Free riders do exist, and they always will, it’s human nature to take the free when you can get away with it. That’s why the market is filled with products you have to pay for, inorder to take possession of them. If that wasn’t an aspect of human nature then you would be able to go to any grocery store and walk out with stuff and “pay whatever you wanted” What would you expect to happen? Well I would expect that those stores would go out of business. And if a store can’t stay in business on a purely voluntary “pay what ever you would like” system then I don’t think a government would be able to either. The counter claim I would expect would be a private entity that you can pay for protection like a private military. But then you’ve basically just described the *feudal system*. And I would expect outcomes would be similar. And we are back to “strong men” using violence to subdue a purely voluntary system. I’m not happy about the result. Regardless I believe when a society far outstrips dunbars number it fails to be both moral and sustainable. (In the sense that it protects itself to continue)

Read just the first chapter of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" (free via Project Gutenberg etc) and tell me that he didn't have his finger precisely on the pulse — in the 1850s — of the root cause of the authoritarian war for majoritarian supremacy that we're witnessing today. Censorship, the compelled worship of an ever-shifting orthodoxy, the construction and desecration of idols before the temple of consensus— it's all the same thing, arising from the same source, and awaiting a similar solution. In times of trouble, we should look more to our history.

Read your Mill, brothers.

Hmm, my thoughts are that Societies don’t work for the reasons you both highlight. One path leads to debt, inflation, corruption and violence to maintain it. The other leads to underfunded programs that are not payed for with free riders And violence as individuals take advantage of the gap and lack of resources to provide enforcers so strong men willing to perform violence take over. You are both trying to have your cake and eat it too, you are trying to find a way to have the society we currently have when the scale of the society is the root of the problem. The problems that exist in our society are caused by the idea of what a “society” is. Once you get beyond Dunbars number, ethical human societies don’t scale. Because humans cease to see each other as fellow humans with common interests of protection and profit working together for a common cause of survival. Humans then find and militate on differences between themselves. Because a natural law of humans are that we are supposed to be in small groups. Free riders exist because of the scale of society. State violence and corruption exists because of the scale of society. Crime exists because of the scale of society. No one will be willing to give up what they see as the perks of a society (labor specialization, combined resources) so for as long as human nature reflects these non scaling properties, the very attempt of a large number of humans, will generate all the problems inherent in the society you are trying to solve.

Ok some areas for you to look at first:

	1.	Digital Modes: Have you explored digital modes like PSK31, JT65, or FT8? These modes involve encoding data into audio signals for transmission, which you can decode using software on your computer. It’s a great way to marry your programming skills with radio communication.
	2.	Software-Defined Radio (SDR): SDR technology opens up a world of possibilities. Consider tinkering with SDR hardware like RTL-SDR dongles and developing software to analyze and process radio signals. There’s so much you can do in terms of signal processing and visualization.
	3.	DIY and Homebrewing: Building your own radios, antennas, and accessories is a fantastic way to learn and experiment. Whether you’re designing custom circuits or optimizing antenna performance, there’s no shortage of projects.
	4.	Satellite Communication: Ever thought about reaching out to satellites? Satellite communication involves tracking satellites, designing antennas, and mastering operating techniques.

“Ham radio crash course” on YouTube

1. Radio recommendations are hard, if your interests fall into the above at your cost points I would look at xeigu G90 or other Xeigu models.

2. Plus Digirig cables.

3. Make your own antenna with a wire soldered to coax connectors.
4. Coax

I think that would be about $500, a little over

For $200ish I would do
1. the ARRL handbooks
2. QDX Transceiver  http://qrp-labs.com/qdx Or other from qrp labs.
3. Make your own antennas
4. Coax

Final bits:
RTL Dongles and that genre are good for listening across the bands before you have your license to transmit and pretty cheap. Check out SDR++

Get plugged into a nearby club membership may get you loner equipment and regular participation will speed up learning.


Besides wanting to get into ham radio what are your other hobbies. I will use this to recommend ham radio things.


New born Katahdin lambs!
https://i.nostr.build/zd4X3.jpg
Spring is in full swing at the homestead. First lambs born yesterday one day after putting the sheep back on pasture again. The rest of the ewes should be having their lambs over the next week or so. Fun to wake up and go check for new lambs first thing in the morning every day until they are all born.
https://i.nostr.build/oME4v.jpg
The katahdin hair sheep have officially started their grazing season. The first grazing loop is usually pretty fast because the grass is still growing in but typically the sheep will graze all the pastures in 30-45 days. We move paddocks every 2-4 days to help break the parasite cycles, and distribute the impact of the sheep more evenly. The sheep can usually keep grazing until November.

Theory 1: Monitoring productivity in a manufacturing situation is easier, while monitoring productivity within a software development situation is not. So a larger share of the productivity improvement goes to management. And this wage statistic deliberately excludes managers.

Theory 2: Among software developers often the value that kind of worker can bring to a company is order of magnitude larger than their salary. While the individual software developer isn’t completely irreplaceable so the salary they can negotiate does not rise with what they produce. So a disproportionate share of productivity in a software situation goes to the companies surplus ie owners of the company. (It’s still a decent career mind you)

Theory 1B: because it’s harder to measure productivity in a software environment more managers are hired so there is a greater density of manager to employee than there would be in a manufacturing situation. Thus more people are managers than they used to be and their wages are excluded from this metric. (This is the most hopeful theory, basically the population represented by the graph may be declining over time as more of the population takes on software based jobs, a larger share of the population thus “needs” to be managers for them and so the “averages” displayed are no longer as “typical” of the typical worker as more “typical” workers must be managers.

Theory 1c: Because of the way managers are strictly excluded from the graphs wage statistics, what we are looking at in the second part is how people early in their job experience compare to the aggregate productivity at that time, while in the first phase. It Is more representative of multiple levels of experience.

Theory 3: Clearly there has been an increase in automation. As automation increases the productivity benefits are caused by the capital investment of the machinery not the productivity benefit from a worker with greater skill. So the wages that can be negotiated by the workers are related to the their replaceability. If they can be easily replaced negotiated wages will be lower than if replaceability is hard for any reason. (I believe this is the main argument for using this kind of graph, it’s essentially a call to action for union protection from Robert Riech and laws which make unions stronger or easier to form.

#grownostr any tips for keeping honey from crystallizing so quickly.


My guess would be the productivity gains were from manufacturing improvements during the first period. And the productivity gains in the second period were from computers from 1980s onward. But do we really know how they are measuring productivity and do these numbers exist broken out by industry?


The eclipse camping was a good trip. I should have put 2 and 2 together previously but a state with a lot of windmills is probably windy most of the time. No matter, break out the kites. With all the eclipse photos out there only one worth sharing that my brother took. Which I thought was a decent facsimile to what we saw. But my phone couldn’t reproduce. I would describe it as a bright shiny ring about as bright in appearance as a full moon on a dark night with all the light concentrated in the ring. That small pink shimmer at the bottom, I have seen replicated in higher quality images, was apparently a solar flare/CME that we could see with our naked eyes. Wild to get to actually see with naked eyes something that we only know from books or headlines. #eclipse #camping #grownostr

Whenever I go camping I try to think of gear to eliminate and what could have been better to prepare for next time. I think I hate cast iron pans and I think I love stainless steel pans. #changemymind

Also a moonlite chair went straight into the garbage as its feet were so narrow they sunk into the wet ground when anyone but my four year old sat in it. Then when I pulled it out the bottom foot remained in the mud until I pulled it hard enough the bungee cord keeping everything attached  when disassembled, snapped. I’ll be looking for replacements with wider feet. Or just the lightest camp chair. #gear

The fact that the stock was “locked” to 5 HK dollars prior is probably a tell. Do you know anything about this company? It could have been in bankruptcy and there had been an offer to buy equipment at a valuation of 5 dollars per share and news broke that the deal fell apart, etc.

If you're actively wasting money on non-open-source Bitcoin self custody tools, don't go around talking about "fix the money, fix the world".

In Eric Raymond’s ‘The Cathedral and the Bazaar’ he puts forth the original and concise arguments in favor of open source code. One of the key principles for why open source would win was that “many eyes make all bugs shallow” this is illustrated if you have ever written a paper or letter and asked someone to proof read it. Immediately they find a number of obvious things you missed in your revisions (Spelling, grammar, punctuation, awkward word choices etc.) And if you were to bring the paper to a third they would find more issues. An error or mistake will be obvious to someone that wasn’t obvious to you. The game then is to get as many eyes on the code as possible so that the most bugs possible are obvious to the largest number of people.

So while making code available for review means you can technically see the code and what it is doing, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a non obvious bug lurking. And while you state you want to review the code, very few people actually will. However if people were building on top of a code base because they were extending it or forking it for their own purposes, people would be reading the code deeply to understand how to actually apply changes and not break things. Or after breaking them, they would be trying to fix things.

The second principle for why open source would win was the human need to “scratch an itch”. Presuming a bug is found by only reviewing code what is the incentive mechanism by which they would report it. In open source a valuable fix to an unseen bug creates reputation among peers, and the observants of a noticed bug being fixed only because you spotted it and brought it to attention or provided a fix yourself being adopted by the project and adding your name to a list of contributors is satisfying. Thus there is an ecosystem which incentivizes remedies for issues.

These are two reasons why in practice simply making code available for review will not have the same impact on quality as making the code available as an open source license.


That was the idea, the camp ground got no more packed than full capacity typically would be. And I didn’t want to be on the roads on the day of.


I took the eclipse as an excuse to get the family out camping. We are in Indiana deep within the path. Currently the temps are mild in the 50s and it’s been raining off and on with mild thunderstorms. I was not expecting the wind which is relentless unless in the tent. But we managed to roast hot dogs and smores for night 1. About to turn in and let the rain patter on the tent draw me into sleep. 💤 #camping #eclipse #grownostr


Consistency


Most lawyers you would be able to personally know have had no input into what politicians have enacted. Most aren’t lobbyists etc. They do make their living navigating the system the statists have made for people and businesses. But, so do accountants, do you have the same disdain for accountants?


Topping because you started too soon? Or other benefit? I’ve heard of topping peppers but not tomatoes before.

Minimum wage laws and similar killed this approach of humans finding their own educational experiences and funding their on the job training with a lower wage. People can’t be trusted to make good decisions. Now you must have state approved and accredited learning inorder to get your foot in the door at a wage rate that is higher than the minimum wage. God forbid that you actually pay the employer for the experience, what an “exploitation”.

And it doesn’t say why. I’m using the Nostr browser plugin to keep my nsec safe. But the user experience is either trust the web app to for everything or the app doesn’t work.


A web based nostr app wants permission to decrypt a private message.

Should I let it?

Yes Or No?

Could also be driven by idiosyncrasies in laws governing penalties for trafficking illicit goods. Will the penalty scale with the number of pills, or the weight of the fentanyl (active ingredient) in the pills. Does the penalty change if the pills are “lethal” or not etc. A lot of variables.


Could also be that a chunk of the pills were in “pill form” as a smuggling technique disguised as some other pill or to take up less space, to be processed later and blended into something else.

“Honest officer this isn’t jamming it’s just accidental interference. How was I supposed to know my maid had put a device in my house that was using this frequency range.”

If the “interfering emissions” are weak enough to disrupt LoRa inside the house and within your property but not impede anyone else’s use, then I think it’s kind of a non issue even if techno illegal. Alternatively There are all kinds of retail equipment, (LED lightbulbs, battery chargers, electric motors, etc) that create interference and may even not meet the fcc requirements they are supposed to.


Another solution though not as simple to implement as a tamper seal or tamper bag would be to use an actual LoRa device or anything of your own contraption to transmit on the frequency this uses with a weak signal of random data. Less precisely you could try to just make enough noise across the frequency range. Which would attempt to jam the frequency range this technique would use in the short range proximity of your seed signer or other hardware wallet.

Absolutely, I rarely feel better as a parent than when my kids are playing in the backyard, making “soup” from sticks and leaves.


What if the documented effects (anxiety, depression, etc) measured in kids in the “smart phone generation” are really just proxies for their parent’s smartphone use?

No one knows how to ‘bury the lead’ quite like The Washington Post. The headline would leave you to believe it’s a fairly basic trending article about the eclipse 🌙. But look carefully enough, they have photographic evidence of the start of the zombie apocalypse. 🧟♂ #grownostr   #mainstreammedia

I’ve been using these containers as an improvised cold frame. Snapping the lid on at night if expecting temps to drop. And bringing them into the garage if frosts expected. I lost a few tomatoes that were on the outside edge before I wised up. So they have been acclimated. My last frost date is typically May 9th ish.


Starts are loving the warmer temps. tomatoes, peppers, parsley, tree collards, basil.

Spinach has been seeded. Hoping to overproduce on greens in the garden this year. To need to harvest just to make space for what comes next.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.


I just turned my space heating miner off which I speculated into for learning and this eventual payoff. Looking forward to converting that dust into sats.

I would just ask questions. Proof by example. What real thing can I do with it. When etherium first came out there were all kinds of concepts like voting applications, where are they in real life, it’s been several years, who is using them? My attitude is “huh that’s neat, how long have they been developing on it and how much more time do they need?”

I’m not sure if “conrent” is a typo or an attempt at a sweet dig. Does V4V mean to you that everyone voluntarily pays what it is worth to them including zero?If so why complain about people paying zero?

My take is V4V means pays what it is worth to you but it’s not a sin to exclude free riders. But if you feel like that’s a misuse of ‘V4V’ I’ll adopt your terms.

If the content is very good a subscription service that allowed non payers to be excluded by the creator is achievable. V4V without being able to exclude non payers will always underfund the true value because of free riders it depends on an ethic that isn’t universal. Ads enable mediocre content to be subsidized monetarily when the content occurs after the ad. And this incentivizes click bait techniques. Serious Content creators should consider the many kinds of schemes and leverage all where appropriate. Serious content creators should consider running their own relays with subscriptions to the relay to exclude non payers.


Well you see…When states pass zoning laws that restrict housing, the supply of housing gets restricted.

And when the supply of housing is restricted there are less places to live, so people that want to live in places, bid up the price. Which makes the price for housing more expensive.

It’s called the Supply of Law and Demand.
Read it again friend.
