I see know, I didn't check historical Meme Monday.

Could post it in ~Memes

Interesting data point:

The bigger picture is just as important as the headline numbers. Long-term analyses of global wave records show that about one third of the world ocean has experienced clear upward trends in mean and extreme wave heights since the 1980s, especially across the Southern Ocean, where winter waves have been rising by roughly one to two centimeters per year. In that belt, average wave heights increased by about 30 centimeters between 1985 and 2018, and overall wave power has climbed around eight percent since the 1980s.

I wonder what kind of KYC one has to do to clam the money.

Seems like a great way to get put on a list of people who would protest.

However, my skepticism lies in the signal-to-noise ratio.

This reminds me of another reason. In your Settings there is a "filter by sats" parameter which lets you set a value a post has to reach for you to see the post.

This allows one to filter out a lot of "Spam" and only get shown something truly valuable (a post people have spent their hard earn sats on).

This feature I think will become one of the killer features of Stacker News as we have more traffic on the site in the future. You can not really do this will Likes or Thumbs Ups as they are free and users will just give them out to any silly thing.

it’s hard to believe that rational actors would voluntarily spend hard-earned sats just to "upvote" a post without a direct ROI.

Many times Stacker News has saved me time in researching a problem or brought something to my attention that has saved me money. ~Stacker_Stocks is a great an example of this. News about a stock that I have $1,000 USD is worth at the very least 100 sats to me (if not more).

kicking off an extraordinary legal battle that could take months or longer before a trial begins

US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, 92,

These two facts are not going to work out well.

How is this a jury of his peers?

People convicted for online harassment.

But did she ever get charged for slapping her husband?

Elon Musk’s Starlink is offering free broadband internet service to users in Venezuela through Feb. 3, following U.S. airstrikes and the capture of ousted leader Nicolás Maduro.

I wonder if this could be used as leverage.

Example: Do what we want or we turn off your internet.
