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"

I feel like people usually talk/think about products from the other angle and it might be more useful to think about it the other way around.

I just upgraded to the single splice channel on my graphene pixel. I can't wait to start using it.

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

It's weird to do but it feels good.

It lets you experience your embarrassment all at once rather than bleeding energy eternally protecting yet another skeleton in the closet.

I think I remember you mentioning this before a few weeks back. Maybe it's worth posting so others don't make the same mistake?

Yeah this is the major reason I want to do it. Something like how easy things can go badly and you lose tons of sats.

I take 100% responsibility for my stupidity but the decisions and choices I made trying to help others as corny as it sounds.

Since I work a M-F full-time job, it's the proximity to Friday and the weekend.

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.
