The only apps that should make notifications are; Phone, SMS, Clock, and Email. And even the Email notifications are better batched once an hour or more, unless you whitelist contacts for instant notifications.
I am constantly surprised how well Mastodon works actually. It needed absolutely nothing more than a fix for identity. All I want from these networks is being able to follow the feeds I want without mediators. It is what I would have reinvented if I wanted to build a social media based on emails. I think I will invest more time in it going forward.
Centralized exchanges shutting down in bear markets, LSPs are going to do the same. Blockchains will remain the only viable and sustainable system.
I think it is crazy that people don't manage distributing software on a blockchain like Rootstock, it should be the most obvious place for registeries... Yes MNS is one registry, but many registries don't need short names and could be identified by a contract address, allowing teams to manage access to the release rights in more sophisticated ways than any bare keys can including any tricks you can make with advanced multisig constructions, and the cost is irrelevant, you don't release new versions every day.
I thought about answering this... But then I remembered the stakes are too small to bother. If anyone actually wants this they would reach the conclusion themselves, but no one is serious indeed View quoted note →
People hate on Google too much. I think they gave us too many great tools that touches human lives in much more real ways than the larping and virtue signalling of the average hater. Google translate alone is doing insane good in the world for free. If you still think they suck, at least you need to have a theory on who would provide free translation to the world at that scale? Maybe eventually it is possible with on device LLMs, but until then, who provides that?
I wanted to verify this for some time; you can use Bitcoin difficulty alone to have a bitcoin derivative that has comparable volatility to the 200 WMA of the BTC/USD price... Except you don't need an oracle for the BTC/USD historical price, nor do you create any demand for USD specifically... It is a pure measurement of the moving average of global demand of Bitcoin for the past year, and thus it works totally independently from any fiat information. There is also some simulation about how would a salary contract denominated in this smoothed demand currency and renegotiated once a year work for both parties. Similarly there is a simulation for how would a merchant accepting this currency then buying inventory once a month in USD fair given the monthly volatility. Bitcoin price will never be stable, but the 200wma is already stable enough, this is a way to create a "stable" derivative of BTC that doesn't refer to any authority other than Bitcoin itself and it's onchain data. I hope you like it. Note; Rootstock has access to bitcoin headers by consensus, and has the expressivity to build a lending protocol based on this. Hopefully someone would build it. image
Every DAO should have an uncofiscatable domain, and people should fork Brave browser to add support for that. As shown in MNS it is not hard to encode smart contract IDs as human readable names, even if you don't use MNS, in the same way Ordinals work. View quoted note →
Every single day I wake and jews have killed children, children I know, or children I know people who know, but regardless, they keep killing children, every single day.
I still can't understand how is WBTC a better outcome for Bitcoin than Drivechains. It is almost the same result except that users trust a single company and miners don't get paid shit. How is that better? Put another way; we know there is a significant demand for bridging BTC to other systems, least of all is LN, so why can't we enable miners to operate these bridges as an option? How is that a bad idea?
The most unfortunate lesson from ColdCard debacle is that Open Source brand will take a long while to recover, and for anything except adversarial situations, there will be no recovery at all, and the only survivors will be trust in specific teams, and possibly hopefully maybe probably not; the interoperability brand.
