correlation can imply causation if the presence of multiple factors causes stronger reinforcement

Hashtags don't quite work on SN

I don't have any strong opinion about whether it's a critical omission, especially now that posts can go to multiple territories... the inclusion lattice of all territories does not offer the same granularity of expression as arbitrary hashtags, although it might be a bit stabler.

do you communicate using the same words when you're sitting at the same table with friends, compared to when you're waving through the windows of a car?

communications aren't unimodal, even if you're sticking to Business English or some similarly brain-deadening code

Maybe he just wanted to use the term Sybil.

yeah, nobody talks about "eclipse" attacks much, and yet I think that general terminology is closer in this case.

I must admit however that I've gotten a little sick of how each new protocol and attack get some fanciful name. It's cute for the first few decades, although after a while the stale names pile up and chaff search results, forcing people to use "smarter" searches like Google Scholar, or even just petitioning some domain authority and not actually bothering with a real search.

not speaking? typing

amusingly Krebs describes this as a Sybil attack

is it really?

there might be shared C&C for the infected devices, although that's not the problem; the problem seems to be that all these "routers" [in i2p terminology] were not "routing" [i.e. relaying traffic].

I'd agree this could be a Sybil attack if the botnet were doing legit routing, while also logging enough data to deanonymize at will, however that does not seem to be the case.

there's a lot riding on the word "convince";

e.g. if someone is already planning to have some shared expense, and I offer to comp coins while they cover both in fiat, is that really "convincing" if they agree without thinking twice?

The architecture is simple: the AI figures out what you want to do [...] Every trade requires your explicit confirmation with Face ID.

should call it "FlipCoin" because you have to flip your phone every five seconds to avoid accidental confirmations

thank you, pseudonymoi and @anon for zumping

DarthCoin was just informing k00b about search engine results. Nothing else.

why-our complaint must'as been archiv .ed

satis^I?

search engine is still by far not relevant. Almost impossible to find something using SN search feature. I did several tests, with exact title of a post and none found.
So I give up using SN search.

Fair, I think matches are still too fuzzy. As I said it’s marginally better (in a narrow domain).

context maintenance difficult when you have this many conversations going simultaneously, @k00b ; have you considered muting my SN nym, so you benefit from "let's let money moderate" more than the least proficient or most-DDoSed community members?

don't get me wrong, it is admirable to both use and cope with your project!

how often do randos complain that you have neither hat nor horse?

how much of the database permissions must I beg before it becomes quicker to social my way into the "private" dev chat?

You can glance at a post and say "X sats were invested in this." h/t @Scoresby

I still don't like this; not gonna bother taking it to GitHub discussions, nor socialing my way into any dev slackalike, for I spark discord by merely listening, maybe;

is "little L2" a dirty phrase in the conversation space spanned by ~dev ~design and ~meta?

thank you for disclosing which TLD your domain's registrar[s?] split[s??] and flip[s???]

reddit forces reposting after six months; how does ~meta differ?

please include either some tl;dr of the above, or much more details, in the "bio" section of your SN profile

right now nothing appears; however, there should be an "edit bio" text, linked into some javacsript code that will create your profile. don't agonize over it because they remain editable for longer than ten minutes.

Yes, it’s for Bitcoiners.
We tie participation to addresses with balance mainly to reduce sybil attacks and spam.

No, it's for bitcoins.

Your mechanism is "one dollar, one vote", with Bitcoin's UTXOs used for efficiency; as opposed to "one man, one vote", or however the democratic fashion was aphorised in 1776, or the hypothetical forum of some idealised Platonic city-state...

Please don't interpret any of the above as criticism; my criticism is that you should not use line-breaks within paragraphs, even if your single-paragraph sentences end up looking weird on wide-screen displays.
