Someone asked me if I wanted to do a talk at @tabconf and I'm considering doing a steelman talk titled "why I wouldn't use stacker news ... if I wasn't building stacker news"
Good morning gang!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday, the week has started to be pretty good, let's see what the rest will bring, for me, it's a good time to do my DCA and keep hodling and keep on grinding, started an exercise routine as well and boy does my body ache but hopefully will turn into a great habit, anyways, I wish you all a phenomenal Tuesday, give it your best because you my friend, are awesome and don't you forget that!!! Be well and stay frosty!!
I was reading the FAQ about what happens when you flag a post. Seems like the changes are local, to that particular post. Is there anything that happens at the user level, e.g., if a user is consistently an abusive asshole and gets flagged a lot, is there anything in the way the incentives are laid out that would a) bring that user to the admin's attention, or b) algorithmically 'turn down' the volume on that user?
To save us all having to flag the same bad actor repeatedly, when someone posts we start the post with their median "vote score" if their median vote score is less than zero (and we start the post with zero if their median vote score >= 0). This is effectively auto-flagging and from its definition only affects posters where more than half of their content has been flagged by the community.
I been thinking a lot about what @k00b said about posting your failures. I have had a really big failure I been thinking about posting about here. Losing and failing sucks big time feels like you let people down who depend on you but can’t let it defeat you and public shaming is probably the punishment I deserve for making such stupid decisions
I hope Bitcoin allows us to work when we want. That Bitcoin will destroy the 9-5 work day because Bitcoin never sleeps, so why should business that provide important services?
Or why should they only be open when most people who can use the service are working? This is all FIAT.
