The point of the original post was no amount of efficiency is going to make up for the deficits these programs introduce. I’m of the opinion these programs will need to be unpopularly cut in order to bring them inline with something sustainable. I’m not opposed to some kind of welfare necessarily. But it has to be sized to something. But politicians haven’t been proactive in resolving. It basically manifests as a government entitlement bubble. Just because people are dependent on them today with the choices they make doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be drastically cut and people make different choices. Without these entitlements grandparents lived with their children, now some people have used their social security and Medicare to live independently, that’s seen as a good. But it’s not something you would see without the government debt proping it up. It just may not be sustainable.

Social security insolvency is predicted in 2035 where automatic cuts will reduce it by 20% by law. How many seniors dependent on social security can stomach a 20% cut to benefits? Can we really do nothing? Or should we bridge those currently dependent on it, and transition away from the government providing retirement benefits in the form of a pyramid scheme.

Certainly true. But to push it abit, if acorns are good to eat for the squirrel because they plant 20% for new seedlings and seeds are good for birds because some of the seeds consumed are distributed as they pass through their system, so there was co-evolution, aren’t these seeds that humans are propagating in seed oils successful from an evolutionary perspective, aren’t humans distributing the seeds through agriculture. The deer doesn’t want to be eaten either by the wolf or the human. I’m just saying the food that is good for a species is more dependent on the species evolving to consume it rather than the consumed species getting a benefit from it such that they allow itself to be consumed for the benefit.

The risk to rug is the same between lightning and mint if neither is mine. Privacy is better with mint. I expect semi trusted brands like Alby could adopt mints as a benefit for all. But i would also expect government pressures will make large popular mints difficult, making them always the realm of the shadow people. I want to try running a node, but i hear maintaining a lightning node in good operation is hard complicated work that looses out as a profit maker. I assume these pressures have shaped Alby’s choice in creating the hub, which is not as vulnerable to government pressure?

“The state is a weapon” and you would rather use it yourself than let others use it against you. It’s logical. But by wielding the state as a weapon you will allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon. And if you allow the state to be strong enough to be a weapon against your enemies, you are leaving the state to be strong enough to be used as a weapon against yourself. It’s only a matter of time. “It has happened in every society on earth. It will happen”

I’m not a regular user of coracle so I might not be the feedback you want. But I think social graph management is needed. As is relay management. Prior to outbox model I thought it would be a required tool to measure the number of relays in common with each of your contacts or contacts you wanted redundant relays with to be less censorable with them. Now it seems like less of an issue but I still want help choosing relays, same for shaping who I follow. Who is no longer active, who should I be following that I’m not. Summarize each follows notes by hashtag, do I want to follow this npub still? Tools to help me curate my follow list. Just ideas.

The headline of the actual article is different, yes this could have been changed later but the font is also wrong. The “W”. What’s funny is the article is about sloppy misinformation allowing people to feed into their confirmation bias.

Agreed on location of services. I see the location in “contact us” but when I first visit the page I’m trying to quickly assess is this relevant to me. For me I think that means location and approximate price.

- reply

When I click on “appointments” in the menu it sends me to a plant nursery website I think you want it to take you to the same place as when you go to Contact > appointment.
I want to see prices. Maybe an “explore our services” page where each of the services you offer are priced out on a hypothetical piece of land that is typical of your target customer. Or just that scenario after you introduce each service on the services page. I want to be able to get enough information from your site without talking to you yet, what the service I am interested in will approximately cost. I also don’t want to be surprised when we actually speak on this appointment and you get all the details on my property and can finally quote it. I know that can be hard but I only want to be surprised down in price. Surprised up in price and I’m going to hesitate, if I can get sufficient information to know this is what I want then I will be motivated to make the next step of seeking an appointment if our chat is as good or better than what I was anticipating. If I can’t get that information in advance I will have more hesitation to set up the call and probably won’t. I don’t want to have an awkward phone call where I tell you I’m not interested because of price or whatever the thing is that I’m surprised by in a negative way.

To get feedback at scale you could, on the relay side, make predictions of what Engagement is expected on each note (like, zap, comment) and tweak the algo based on what actually happens on the note. Compare actual vs predicted and rerun your recommendations. Is that what you are doing?

In a humans natural state they work, hunt, gather, and grow highly perishable items.

Bitcoin if it holds up to its promise is a tool to that end. So was fiat. So was fermentation. So was stone tools.

I will be voting for the LP candidate. I’m not in the “Your vote doesn’t count cult” or the “By voting you are legitimizing the system cult” it is a fairly low effort act, but If you want to free Ross, support the party Trump was pandering to when he made the promise to free Ross. Because, I and enough other LP voters in past elections have highlighted a voting block willing to vote for these issues, you now have a candidate pandering to the block in a tight race. Bringing the promise into existence from Trump’s lips was not done by people in the red team. It was done by a group of people making the credible claim that they would not be voting for him, via the existence of their own political party advocating for those issues. The more votes the other parties see exist in the LP, the more positions they will have to adopt from the LP. There is more than one Ross that needs to be freed. I will be celebrating too, on that day if it comes. it will be something I contributed multiple election cycles in the making by supporting LP candidates and ballot access to form the threat and group large enough to get pandered to. The popular vote total for the LP directly assists in achieving ballot access in some states which makes the credible threat of eligible participating voters.
Have a good day.

This happens every 11 years. Yes the Carrington event is something to be considered. I don’t think we know enough to know how frequently such an event happens, it’s a black swan. You can get forecasts and updates from NOAA. Anything less than a G5 storm is pretty routine for the average Joe they don’t notice in daily life. I don’t know about the weather stuff, if it’s true, it should be able to measure an effect with the sun cycle. 11 years

One or more of three things will happen. 1) Taxes rise significantly , 2) Services are cut significantly , 3) monetary base inflates significantly. Any combination of the three will be a painful shock in a more or less similar magnitude. I’d prefer a path where we dig ourselves out a bit and give people time to start adapting. Adding more is increasing the height of the cliff we are walking towards. A default will be a significant cut to services. Border protection is a service. But I agree in a political situation where event talking about correction never mind actually correcting is a third rail. The default or some combination of the three “forms” of default appear unavoidable.

A very interesting novel idea to let those who can pay market rates, compensate builders enough that lower incomes can also get an apartment at a caped rate. Imagine how many more apartments could get built if all the apartments were rented or sold at the market rate instead of being forced to sell or rent for below the market rate. 🤔 If a little market economy is good let’s try a little more.

Last time I looked seriously at mining my observations were you should ask yourself if you can mine a bitcoin for less than you can buy it on an exchange . You are buying it either way, once through electricity and hardware and time and risk the other through trading currency. When I looked at it before it seemed cheaper to just buy it. But if you want no kyc and or you just want to learn something these can be added to what value you are going to get out of it that may make it worth it.

Home addresses and road signs are both a psyop. The real design is to aid distant rulers in the management of their occupied territory at scale. The standardization helps collect taxes, perform surveillance, and enforce laws with incredible efficiency that would not be possible without them.🤣
They facilitate logistics with impersonal directories instead of community held knowledge and relationships. Dependence on the state to just get from place A to B develops and community interaction degrades. 🤔

So I think 3ft is more comfortable to work in. For three reasons. 1) I can do a wide stance deep squat with one foot on each side of the bed. It puts my center of gravity directly over bed and I can just bend over to weed. Then just shuffle my feet forward to work further until I’m done. 2) The average man can indeed reach into the bed at two feet from the edge squatting down or kneeling. But if your bed is 4 feet and you need to weed something in the middle of your bed at the two feet point you are more fully extended and don’t have as much strength or balance from that point. And your body will get more quickly fatigued with that reach.
Get a ruler and play with it in your house. Hold a pose at the various lengths you will need to reach for 30 seconds feel the degree of tension or relaxation. Choose the one that is more relaxed. I’m 5 feet 9 inches in height. If you are taller and depending on how much more then maybe 4 ft works.
3) Wife and kids have a shorter reach than I do. I’m still the primary worker in the garden for sure but I’m a believer that things should be family sized. My shotgun is a 20 gauge with an adjustable stock.
Obviously everything just depends. 😀

My daughter is fundraising for Cub scouts if anyone would like to donate to support a scout. Thank you for any support. Link below. If you would prefer to zap just hit this note and I will make a contribution on behalf of the zappers.
