 are there any examples of centrally planned systems outperforming self organizing systems in the ... 
 All centralized systems fail in the long run because they have a central point of failure. They almost always outperform self organized ones in the short term. That doesn't make decentralized systems the best systems. Different systems for different reasons. Speech and money should be decentralized. They cannot fail. There are some tradeoffs that make central systems great for certain other applications.  
 Military for example. Self organized armies will on most occasions fail to defeat a centraly planned one. They lack the coordination made possible by centralization. The exception is when the Central authority makes a big mistake. Decentralized systems will make less mistakes over time.

But I gotta say, I post about grain from time to time, making a big robust relay implementation from scratch. Nearly no engagement usually. But when UTXO makes a 1 off specialized relay, it's the talk of the town for a few days. 

Again, not that I don't love all the relay implementations. We need more. But it's a little demoralizing when I'm making the same thing but way more involved single project and it gets 1/100th of the reach.  
 Such as life indeed. So I try not to complain and instead focus on working more.

 Yep. We really make an effort to emphasize Halloween and we always go around the neighborhood the night of. I also make a point to NEVER decorate for Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving has ended. We MUST be thankful for everything we have before we celebrate the birth of the one that's saved our souls from eternal damnation. What is the celebration without the recognition that we should be thankful?

 why not just make your own spreadsheet? 
 An app is just a wizard for a spreadsheet that sells your data though.  
 Periodic reminder to keep a max of 3 relays in your outbox and inbox relay lists. 

There are too... 
 9 for me... 
 My goal in making grain was to reduce this list. 2 of them are my own relays. It's hard because you want to have reach, (your notes on lol or damus, but you don't necessarily rely on those relays to indefinitely store your notes) 
As a user, I'm skeptical to remove the big relays because I'm unsure if all clients will look at my specified relay list for my notes. Grain will get a backup relay config soon enough. Then you can specify a blaster relay as your backup and know you've broadcast to a big public list while your relay list can remain small.

 There are  handful of nip98 server implementations (nostrcheck server , route96 and nostr.build) and none of them are easy to set up. None of them have compiled binary releases. (Not that I expect them to) I'm sure I could get one working worth enough tinkering but no time.  What's interesting is they are all three different language implementations. PHP/HTML, Rust and TS/NodeJS. The PHP would probably be my favorite as I don't have as many packages managers and dependencies to go find and set up but on the other hand it requires you have a webserver executing PHP (not too bad though) I'd really like to see an implementation that a normy can clone, download a simple database with little experience, and set up their own self hosted nip96 server. We still have lots of work to do to make users more capable of maintaining data sovereignty.

 Usernames and passwords are not created. They're generated.  
 Pubkeys xpubs 
 Public private key pairs are usernames and passwords and I just think it's a cool fact that users don't make them, they are generated and ironically have more true ownership of the things they unlock than any other service where the user hand selects their username and password.

 Hey, this is Tadge.  First post on nostr.  Using "gossip" desktop client. Not sure if this works,... 
 You could literally just set yournpub@npub.cash and receive. I don't understand leaving money on the table.  
 That's a very long thread to justify abortion. It's a terrible argument. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Life begins at conception. It's immoral to take the life of someone else that has done no wrong to you. Especially one as innocent and defenseless as a child in the womb. It's that simple. I don't give a single shit about extenuating circumstances. They bear no consequence on the present issue that someone else's life is not yours to decide the fate of. But, but , but.... All just trying to justify your I'll conceived notion that abortion is some kind of healthcare. It's not. And no, a c section is not abortion. No, care for an ectopic pregnancy is not abortion and is not illegal in any state with limits on abortion.  
 Should the state be involved in murder? 
State control of reproduction? Who ever said that? The state isn't forcing anyone to have sex. I advocate that the nation I live in, enforce the right to life. Women need not "bear a pregnancy" if they aren't having sex by their own volition. It's not a personal decision to make a value assessment of the life the child COULD have. That's a ridiculous statement. Your entire supposition is deplorable. Trying to save face by saying I support nation states involvement in people personal lives is distracting from your argument by being so plainly dishonest. Yes. I support any entity who would advocate for children conceived to have their lives protected. The same way I support any entity to defend the lives of other people or bring justice to those who have been wronged. I don't care of it's the state. We need more people, not less. You're a sick malthusian useful idiot. I won't apologize. 
  
 No it's not murder to prevent conception. Abortion pills should be banned, not birth control, abstention and condoms.  
 An unborn child does have a right to life and they are entitled to the womb of the mother who made a choice to have sex. If they don't want a child, they can't simply not have sex. Pretty simple.  
 Bro... Condoms are dirt cheap. Abstention is free. Try again.  
 Are you really arguing that not having sex is a not a solution to not getting pregnant?  
 So your desire to have sex is more important than the life of an unborn human. That's your argument. It falls flat on its face.  
 We loved on a world where people didn't have sex of they didn't want to get pregnant and if they did nearly 100% of people made do less than 100 years ago. But now it's impossible for us animals to suppress our desires. We're nothing but smart monekys with no personal responsibility for our actions. Makes sense when you look at the world in a way that makes that little sense.  
 You don't reduce suffering by ending life. Malthusian bullshit.  
 Once your wealth exceeds your peers because you held #Bitcoin, don't you dare let them say you just got lucky.
