Stacker News Improvement Ideas
A separate page that allows you to explore territories by popularity, age, sats, etc and browse descriptions would be nice.

lol, reminded me of this:
view on www.youtube.comI'm thinking about how often I do both, but in the wrong order.
Maybe you earned it
Maybe the "both" part, but the "wrong order" part is just sloppiness.
Is there a setting where I can say that I don't want the related posts thing open by default?
no but it's only open if there are no comments yet. so you shouldn't lose any screen real estate by it being default open in that case. we're open for feedback though
It's super hard to keep up with recent. I'll browse it then get sucked into something then by the time I resume a bunch of new stuff is posted.
Seems like a better problem for you to have than the rest of us. ;)
My "hot" feed has been great lately. You all did a great job tweaking that to deliver stuff I want to see pretty quickly after it's been posted.
Awesome! I honestly haven't had the time review how that's performing. It's fully operating on priors.
I recently suggested internally that we should use the global score of own items since I am not interested in what our ranking algorithm thinks how interested I am in my own stuff.
Most of the times, I see my own stuff on the top just to discover in a SN incognito tab to see it ranked much lower globally.
Maybe that's also the case for you and maybe you would consider that to be an improvement too?
We're both too "inside the machine" to assume other people want the experience we want (at least at high resolutions). The way this works, you're seeing your stuff ranked higher because you trust the people zapping your items. It isn't because it was posted by you at least.
Ah, makes sense. Badly written on my part. My point still stands though. Just realized I didn't even mention my main point like I did internally:
Howdy stackers! It’s hump day! Stay positive, week is halfway done!
I got an email from Strike about their new subreddit r/strikebtc....
https://m.stacker.news/13650
Sent an email back about SN, hopefully they see the error in their ways and join us on the frontier
Morning partners!! Wednesday is here and it's time to reflect o our strategies for the week and see if we are getting our desired results or if they need tweaking to get better results, if all is good then keep on keeping on, you've got this my friend, I apologize for not posting on the past few days, I was a tad under the weather but rest assured I sent you as always good vibes to all of you. You're important and what you do matters, thank you for being and thank you for all the things you do my friend, proud of you as always. So go out there and kick bum, be well and stay frosty.

someone got it :)
what do you think how many didn't get the joke?
I'm not sure, but you had to zoom in on the image and look at the address. The meme was not as funny as how much I actually laughed, it was very good! I was almost about to create a user called 'brain' :)
those are the best memes!
Someone is probably going to do it that's why I created a screenshot to capture this moment for eternity and claim credits

I'll have to check @brain's bio regularly so I can be the first one to reply with a link to this meme
and say ...

Day 4 of clipping podcasts on Fountain
From Part of the Problem ep. 1083 Libertarians vs. Klause Shwab https://fountain.fm/clip/aKt8ab06Nqf59EasKyIC
Dave and Robbie attempt to describe Klause Shwab for an uninformed normal person.
We'll see how well I can keep track of this, but so far I've gotten 60 sats for these clips.
I'll add a running earnings tally, to make this more like @WeAreAllSatoshi's mining posts.
Day 37 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 732 sats on 23Jan2024! Running total: 28,676 sats!

Yeah, I'm actually quite happy about that. : )
Good job. Hope you remembered your towel!
A couple of weeks back I posted:
I am of course getting slaughtered, but will reevaluate a few months from now. Trade remains in-play...!
Well, respect for reminding us. I’m sure it will work out in the medium term..
Howdy 🤠! Just chilling in the saloon. Looking to crush the day! Yeehaw!
Let's get it stackers and cowboys!
We've got to get over the hump!
HUMP DAAAY! Yeah!
One client asked me if they could pay me in Tron USDT. Whaaaaatttt??? What should I tell him to be polite? Seriously
I would tell him that you'd prefer to receive bitcoin because you'll otherwise have to swap it. If you're in position to push a little bit, charge him for the swap + your time to swap.
Thanks for the reply. I am so bad at asking for these things. I should learn. When I asked for sats, he said they only work in USDT and it seems there are a lot of people working in USDT, he told me. I didn't want to push it further. Ideally I should find bitcoiner clients
Just kindly ask if he minds sending BTC.
I asked, but he told me they only work in USDT with many others in their community. I think they all should open private lightning channels between them. anyway...

Thanks. Yes I tried to ask for sats but he only works with that shitcoin. I may have to use that service. It seems legit. I don't want to put more barriers as I don't know him very well yet.
I have a 13-year-old boy who doesn’t know how to read the sight word “said”. He still misreads it as “speak”.
It breaks my heart.
Today, I had a brainwave. Even though “said” is a sight word, I drew “aid” to his attention. He would have heard of “first aid”. I hope it chases "speak" away from his mind.
I pored my notes in the afternoon. It seems like rhymes are a good way to develop one's phonological awareness.
Inspiration struck me again. Why don't I write a haiku that ends in rhymes for him?
Here's my masterpiece:
He sits on his bed thinking about what she said His heart wants first aid

Are you an English teacher?
Professionally, yes
But I still pick up new words from Stackers all the time here haha. Definitely not an authority on the English language

Quiet this morning. In the old days I would be late to the party at this time.
Planning to promote any of your territories today? Good luck!
Thanks, but no big posts in the offing. This week I have real life obligations that must be attended to. I do have the time to zap the hell out of good content, if you're up for it!
“Zap the hell out of”
Sounds like Spartans preparing for war! Lol
I guess people are too busy / sensible for early morning saloon action…
I guess so. It's kind of nice. I thought I had adapted to the new SN, but the onslaught of posts is starting to feel overwhelming again.
We have to think about SN as having ‘seasons’ - sometimes it’s a time to sow and other times you need to sit back and let it grow. You can’t be sowing and reaping all the time or you will burn out and end up resenting the place.
You can post your haiku 24/7 and I won’t tire of them. Pinkie promise
Not one of my favourite groups but the song is amazing.
I'm not a huge fan either. You're right. I'm suffering from burnout. I'm looking forward to my real life work over the next few days.
I don't understand how the fiat world can continue.
The value of things compared to your salary was so cheap back in the day.
Yes, many things are better and cheaper, specially electronics, but things like housing or other important stuff are incredibly expensive.
I wonder what will happen in the future.
But then I think about countries with super huge inflation like Argentina, Venezuela, etc, and the people there just... live?
I don't know how, but life just moves on. Humans are incredibly resilient.
The future? Even more expensive! I just had a thought reading your post, about the people living in high inflation countries, maybe there are more people that we think, using crypto for their savings. Crypto is certainly popular in those countries.
At the end of the day it is the currency that gets devalued.
So, everything is more expensive over time, by design.
No rich person would have their wealth on a bank account, they would have assets, real things, not some silly currency.
I really like The Price Of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth, which talks about all of this and explains how and why bitcoin is the solution: https://www.amazon.com/Price-Tomorrow-Deflation-Abundant-Future/dp/1999257405

we only want to make the most boring segment in Bitcoin, a bit less boring haha
too much peer pressure. @siggy47 was the domino that tipped me over
I like the way @kr plays possum and then picks his spots. He's my model.
🤠
It's gotten me into the top 10, but that victory feels a little hollow.
oh damn. didn’t even realize i was back in the top 10. I had broken into the top 5 before until losing it and starting this streak.
