"Make raids costly" -- In "The Art of Not Being Governed" historian James C. Scott describes the context of medieval Southeast Asia, where the topology created a division between "Hulu" -- mountain people -- and "Hilir" -- valley people.
Governments could control the hilir people because they were tied down to wet rice agriculture, thus were a fixed target for taxation and control. In contrast, "hulu" people were nomadic and lived at higher elevations, thus making raids costly in terms of time, manpower, energy, etc.
Encrypted comms, Bitcoin, etc -- these are "hulu" tech. They raise the costs for State intervention, potentially on a mass scale.

Yes, I see this happening as well. VR teleprescence + robots will be a huge boon.
I think about this particularly in the context of Chemistry and other hazardous forms of work... Chemical manipulations could be performed by "robot arms" controlled by someone remote. Same thing with custom electronic fabrication and other forms of "delicate" work.
This is an "end-run" around the massive regulatory and liability burden that exists to do this kind of work, which effectively limits it to academic institutions and large companies.
Even stuff that would normally happen in a garage or workspace, well, not everyone has a garage...

Are there really "many" such beliefs at any given time?
If anything, there are a "few" such beliefs, and it takes a great deal of knowledge and insight (of how the world actually works in the context of "conventional" knowledge) to find which ones.
Otherwise you're unemployable, living in a cabin in the woods, and drinking your pee because you think that's going to save you from the Flat Earth Alien Crystals in the Deep State.

Well I'm not an expert, but the one that immediately sticks out is monetization. Built-in zaps means built-in permissionless monetization. I think that's the big thing Nostr has on every competitor.
More broadly I think because of Nostr's "note-based" architecture it has the possibility of becoming much more than just social media, I.e. projects like Alexandria, decentralized Wiki's, etc.

It's interesting in light of everything that's come to pass with Peter Thiel -- his idea of success in business is basically to build a monopoly, then build a moat so high nobody can catch up. It's basically what everyone's stereotype of "greedy evil capitalists" is.

"The time is currently 07:07am, President Trump claims that the moon has been colonized by xyglorgs. Today's forcast is mostly sunny with a 30% chance of rain."
Really? So you don't think that journalism has any role in fact-finding? What, it's just supposed to repeat whatever someone says without even attempting to verify it?
So the next part -- "Today's forecast" -- they could just say "well the National Weather Service says it's going to be mostly sunny, but the crazy person outside of my apartment says that today is the day Blue Hellfire will Reign from the Skies.... Reporting both sides, NPR"

I'm both libertarian and a long-time NPR listener... First, on the "bias" question, I personally don't find significant left-right bias in NPR news coverage. Sure, they're not going to be seeking out the "libertarian perspective" on the issues of the day, but I can get that from other outlets like Reason.
PBS news coverage I have found to be more left-leaning in general, thus I tend to prefer outlets like BBC for basic fact-based "world news" reporting.
On the funding question: It's important to state that actual federal funding accounts for ~1% of NPR's budget. PBS might be larger, but it's also a mix of federal and state funding. Donations "from listeners like you" make up the bulk of it in both cases.
So, while I'm not going to "go to the barricades" to protect 1% of NPR's budget, I am dismayed that the Right has consistently gone after these "soft targets" like NPR, PBS, USAID, etc... Meanwhile the real "waste fraud and abuse" is in the Pentagon, c.f. the disastrous F-35 program.

Not trying to be argumentative but to complicate that discussion a bit -- one person's "disinformation" is another's "truth (social)"...
Just like asking "what is bitcoin's solution to money laundering?", asking what Nostr is doing about "misinformation" is sort of missing the point. Nostr, like Bitcoin, is a protocol, not a company, not a product.

On the sender side, sure, I guess... But to me this sort of mirrors the debate between marijuana legalization vs decriminalization. Some people say "hey let's just decriminalize it, because *I'm* willing to take the risk scoring it..." But this is never going to hit mass adoption until average people have no "reasonable doubt" that the government isn't going to audit them for everyday spending with BTC.
On the receiver side, if they receive Sats, and they sell for Fiat, isn't that still a taxable event? Every single time? (IANAL and I get that you aren't either, but that's my understanding...)

@nprofile…lduh Just listened to your appearance on the Bitcoin Magazine podcast ... Really interested to hear your thoughts when you get to "Speculative Attack" on the Reorg podcast...
"Speculative Attack" is something I still link to today, because it's such a powerful explanation of how instabilities can emerge between #bitcoin and the debt-based fiat global monetary order. However, I'm having trouble linking the Pierre Rochard who wrote that 11 years ago to the guy who shows up at conferences and podcasts today who is at least mildly (if not strongly) in favor of the Strategic Reserve concept.
Is "hyperbitcoinization" of the type you describe still on the table? And if so, does the Dollar survive? And, perhaps most importantly, does MAGA understand any of this, and are comfortable with a world where the Greenback becomes toilet paper?

Oh IDK, I think this could hit a much broader audience... To me this fits in pretty well with projects like Bookdown, which is a way of creating open-source documents for publication using R notebooks. This is a way towards "reproducible research" in the sense that data analysis methods and calculations can be embedded directly (hidden) into the final document that gets published.
The "atomization" part of this is very similar to what's used in constructing both R and (the more popular) Jupyter notebook, where each "code chunk" can be separated in a similar way that separate verses / paragraphs are, as you previously mentioned.
But yeah as I write this... still Nerd stuff 🙃

Being new to Nostr and seeing the relative "difficulty" in using the platform relative to the algorithmically-driven social media that currently exists, it just reminds me of how much those platforms are "lean back" experiences vs the "lean-in" experience of Nostr.

Continuing to play through A Link To the Past... The last Zelda game I ever played. #retrogaming
Just like Super Mario World did for SMB3, it took the same general world building, palette and aesthetics from the NES Zelda and upgraded and extended the entire game experience, from gameplay to graphics to story, to the 16-bit capabilities of the SNES.
Despite an overworld map that pales in comparison to any modern game, it still lends a surprisingly rich "open world" experience, with little secrets to discover around every corner.

What criteria could possibly be used in common with (say) the guy who cleans out drains at a Federal damn in Montana with, someone at the FDA who evaluates medical licenses?

I personally never used Twitter, but just started using this... Been fun so far!
It really is the evolution of Bitcoin to social media. "Be your own bank" ---> "Be your own algorithm." I can have a curated experience with just followers, or I can click "Global" and get the firehose.
What you don't get is some black-box algorithm deciding how to shuffle / reorder things based on what some "Data Scientist" thinks is going to make your eyeballs stick.

I can totally hear this in the voice of a certain "humble tailor"

That's really cool! Is there a program or agenda?

Hey, all for cutting waste and redundancy -- but why is eliminating the central HQ a good idea? He says "send the agents back out into the field" -- sounds great until the Topeka office and the Chicago office start investigating the same guy without realizing it, potentially compromising each other's investigations...

College can be a great time and place to explore new ideas and learn in an open environment. See it as an opportunity for personal growth. Good luck!

I'm not going to claim that California's high-speed rail project isn't anything other than a massive boondoggle... But at the same time, this is absolutely hilarious.
I don't know what the PR wizards in the Trump administration were thinking to host a press conference with the subject of axing a public transit project, and choosing as the venue for this, one of the nation's most beautiful multimodal train stations, which is still a major transit hub used by tens of thousands of people everyday.
Also, the slow pan-out at the end... Classic curb 😂

I would question how essential the NAP is to Anarcho-capitalism. The NAP is a specific moral code, a way of dealing with other people.
Anarcho-capitalism would allow for a variety of different moral codes to be operative at any given area... For instance, you could have a "Shar'ia town" where "apostasy" is punishable by death. As long as everyone living there signed up for it, there's nothing fundamentally contradictory to ancap.
