I like this infographic

My favorite of these is probably naan or shokupan

One major difference is that for improvements in medicine, once it's discovered that this new treatment is better, most of the incentives are aligned in terms of adopting that new treatment. So Semmelweis's frustrations came from people not believing in him, but once he was proven correct there wasn't much resistance to adoption.

The social media dilemma is much trickier because the incentives are not aligned towards solving the problem, even if some solution is discovered

Not our proudest moment. I think they were from the theology department.

in grad school, our econ intramural basketball team lost a game in which the other team only fielded 3 players :|

That makes me wonder: what are some high school records that would look ridiculous in the pros?

I'm sure some high school basketball player has scored 100 points in a game, for example.

I admire your tenacity, but why not just keep enough fiat in your bank account to deal with daily expenses and with the thieving government? Although we are bitcoiners, we know that there is still reality to deal with, and the world is not ready for a bitcoin standard yet.

To be honest I did a really poor job of all 4 last week, which is why I'm in the position of having a gout flare up in the first place

But this may be the kick-in-the-butt I needed to straighten myself out finally

Maybe SN's motto should be "Come for the sats, Stay for the community"

Is it really a fork of hacker news? 🤔

Yes, SN is a great sounding board. A lot of people here who will actually engage with you and not just post jokes or memes or look for fights.

I mainly need to avoid red meat for my gout. Fried food because that's my weakness. No exercise because of gout.

Welcome to the cowboy club, pardner

What settings do you have?

Also, @remindme in 1 week. The sync becomes significantly slower after about 60% due to inscription spam

Didn't know you made perfumes too, that's a pretty cool mix of skills

Not sure. The time decay on posts staying on top of Hot could be adjusted for time zone.... like things posted in the dead of night in U.S. time zones could be allowed to stay Hot for longer. It still wouldn't be conducive to real-time interactions, but at least people posting from overseas will get some more engagement, hopefully.

Yes, indeed.

I kinda wish that we had a more diverse set of time zones. Some posters don't get as much engagement not because their content is bland, but because they post when Americans are sleeping

I thought taproot was a soft fork though? Meaning, taproot addresses were consensus (at the protocol level, and thus older nodes see them as valid), but older nodes just wouldn't understand how to operate with them?

If by consensus you mean social consensus and not protocol consensus, then I agree, it's achieved by just running code. But if a group starts running code that is not within protocol consensus, we end up with a hard fork and two chains.

Incidentally, it's this attitude that got me to be willing to spend more on coffee. I recently got a bag of gesha. Well worth it!

Mm, I'd be surprised if people are coming here specifically to check the bitcoin price, wouldn't a quick google search just do that already?
