Coffeezilla seems to be all about prediction markets in his latest videos, here a new one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE8Lt5mBQb0 (different but similar to the one shared here #1349855). You can agree or not with CZ's disdain towards prediction markets and his love of regulations, but the examples he gives clearly support @SimpleStacker's claim that

the revenue model is going to skew towards preying on gamblers.

Working my way through Refactoring UI and it's pretty excellent. I never had much of toe hold for learning about UI design, having trained on the art side of design (and very little at that). It does a great job of surveying the most important design facts/rules/pitfalls and supporting them with examples.

One of the problems I've had outsourcing design is that SN would lose the look of otherness, the funk, that I like it having. It's hard for someone to know what I've made look weird and what's me being naive. To many designers, anything that isn't fashionable, any personality that doesn't fit inside some accepted window, may as well be naive. It's also not their fault. I'm so naive that it's not easy to tell what's what.

Un fresco día por aquí, he estado pensando en que debería haber un territorio de referido, donde se pudieran compartir enlaces de plataformas que no sean estafa. También si ya hay una de música que tal una de filmes de todos los tiempos no importa si sean silentes o manga, donde se pudieran compartir opiniones. Qué tal?

This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.

unpaid items (zombie/ghost)

69 sats \ 5 replies \ @SimpleStacker 12h

I think if you disconnect your wallet, empty your account of cowboy credits, and try to make a post, a QR code will pop up for you to pay. If you don't pay, the post still enters into the database and thus gets an item number, but it doesn't show up anywhere, hence "ghost items".

Makes sense

This isn't how someone is creating 3k or so items daily. Do you really think someone is doing hours of labour doing so?

No, you can just write a script for it.
