Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
@ek @k00b is there a manual push for when a territory gets paid for by invoice? Or does the SN system recognise it's been paid and then remove the warnings and countdowns. As I paid mine a couple hours ago but I've still got the archive warnings and a countdown.

This might be a bug. I’ll take a look today

Cheers bud, I got confirmation it was paid from my wallet.
And I'm sure it's just a little mix up but would like confirmation it's landed your end.
Cheers for looking into it. You guys always offer a quick and professional response so thank you.

I started writing something about the fissure in white America's identity politics and I wonder if there is a "lost demographic" caused by the cultural discontinuity between Carter and Clinton due to the Clintons' sex scandal.
I recently came to the idea of thymos, which, from my understanding, Francis Fukuyama uses to mean a sense of dignity and self-worth possessed by the individual. When this thymos possessed by the individual is not recognized by authorities and those in power, it causes indignation and rage.
I wonder if there is a sizable population that was morally betrayed then and the aftertaste (and lack of accountability) alienates and bewilders a huge section of the population now.
I think people like RFK and J.D. Vance speak to this demographic from an identity politics perspective...I just wonder how it shakes out in terms of this demographic's ideologies getting persuaded simply by having someone representing them.
(I belong to this demographic. In an ideal world, I'd be voting for Tulsi, but alas that ship sailed.)
Maybe this is a huge "duh" realization, but I think it's important enough to comment about somewhere on this website today. I wrote a little post but I think I'd rather give it more time to marinade...
reply
Vance grew up in Ohio and Kentucky
reply
Sounds interesting. There are similar ideas that people are kicking around, like the perpetually unrepresented Remnant.
Most people don't vote, so a lot is missed when assuming that the two major party candidates represent the dominant trends in our culture.

From the looks of it, looks like the upsert comment mutation changed in this commit: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/commit/79f0df17b2ba0ec372da7d74b18bbdb4b84b2665
reply
We removed hash and hmac. I see you included them in your mutation but you didn't use them. Did you intend to use them in the past but then decided against it?
@hn didn't break because it does not include hash and hmac.
And sorry, I think we're done changing the API for a while now!
reply
Back in business! I just need to commit and push up the change.
reply
I think I just copied the mutation as-is without thinking much about it, to be honest.
No worries :) thank you for the follow up

In about an hour I will take the FCC Amateur Radio Technician test in a first step towards learning the radio communication arts. I work as a yacht electrician, so many of the subject matter is already familiar to me. I've studied pretty hard the last two weeks, and taken five practice exams, getting at most 3 questions wrong. Along with the General and Extra licenses, which require renewal every ten years, I want to get FCC commercial licenses which will grant me the regulatory privilege of working on radio systems, not just on yachts, but I plan to continue focusing on marine vessels.

A

The prefix “a” works in a similar manner to “in” and, depending on the context, it can mean “on”, “in”, “at” or “together”, but most often it means “not”.
Such as:
  • Asymptomatic - no symptoms.
  • Amoral – no morals.
  • Asleep – “in” sleep.
  • Alive – “in” live or life.

Strange! @DarthCoin disappeared from the leaderboard. I'm sure I saw it there earlier today. cc: @k00b @ek
reply
I think is normal. I post / comment very few times these days. maybe ek kicked me out after mute me 😂😂
reply
Wouldn't the most likely scenario be that he's hidden himself from the leaderboard?
reply
No I do not like to stay hidden. I was activated that option on in the MSM times.
reply
It's entirely possible for that to happen. You get on the leaderboard by creating or zapping "top" content.
My understanding is that "top" is defined by being in the top third of posts or comments.
If the content you created or zapped gets surpassed by other content, then it no longer qualifies as "top" and you no longer get rewards for it.
reply
That's helpful information. Thanks!
reply
Oh, I didn't think of that! That might actually be the case. Or a bug 🤠
reply
It's not possible to do that.
reply
Literally the people behind and ahead of you right now have done so. https://i.imgur.com/np95l7z.png

Sure! I thought you meant hiding only from the leaderboard. It's possible to hide your stats and consequently your position as well. But that's not the case with darthcoin.

Thought of today ✨
You are either part of the giant ladder sell things for others or create something that you have FULL control over and in the way you like, which is a beautiful feeling.

throw back to my understanding of the game so far 👀
Corporations massively produce products and they pay for the celebrities & models & influencers and keep telling ppl what they need and where to buy from; then, ppl work harder to buy these things, even those that they don't really need.
These corporations control the news & media too and decide whatever is the current thing; Guess what? They happen to fund the gov too, ofc Gov makes things easier for these corporations with all the rules and laws, on top of charging tax on EVERYTHING.
So these corporations can keep inventing new problems and sell new solutions, then the already busy with work people actually listen and keep working harder to buy things with their time/life while being entertained by TV shows, news, social media or wars.
Then you have businesses claiming to help you to be free ( hints: they are actually friends with the ones who are making ppl miserable ), and NO, they are just making money out of you and selling you the safety blanket / the illusions, because real Freedom can't be bought, but has to be earned.
reply
That's right!

I'm writing an article (perhaps I'll post it on SN, too - let's see) about the fact that influencers have such a big impact on people and why that happens. I'm exploring the idea of Emotional Intelligence which plays a great role in the impact that influencers and ads have on people.

I have always maintained that I will be this chill, cool parent when my children enter primary school. Sensei won’t freak out about his son’s academic prowess. More experienced parents keep pooh-poohing my conviction and give me a smug look that suggests “Just you wait and see!”
Now I have an anecdote to back up my Zen-ness. So, for the first time ever, I logged on to their preschool’s educational app. I noted that my son was learning the /fr/ sound as they were reading “Frank and the Fruit” in class. I proceeded to make the sounds for them and got him to blend /f/ and /r/ together.
“How do you make the /o/ sound?” he asked. I complied by making it for him.
“How do you make the /g/ sound?” he asked again. I dutifully complied.
“f…r…o…g…frog!” he spelt the word. And here I was, thinking that he wanted to know the sounds of random letters! I didn’t even know that he knows how to spell “frog”! He can 举一反三 (extend his thinking).
It’s okay if my boy doesn’t top his class or even get stellar results in school. He is good enough on his own.

What was really missing about the internet was payment protocol, and Bitcoin is already here.
Then why not simply go back to information sharing and value exchange: good info being rewarded with sats, as simple as this, then everything else pretty much can be ignored, and go back to living your life - you would be amazed how good information can make your life easier.

reply
so many tools are trying to complicate the problem
I feel like some "tools" just create a difficulty to "sell" you a solution. It's actually sad... :(
reply
and there are many of them, e.g., from skincare to drugs, what you really need to do is to pay more attention to diet, mood, and lifestyle. 🙊

did you solve this problem btw? #576116
reply
what you really need to do is to pay more attention to diet, mood, and lifestyle
I guess simple stuff don't sell as much as overly complicated stuff. When people ask "how do you get good skin?", they are expecting you to say which product they should buy, not that they need to drink water properly and get good quality sleep. The simple works, but people expect a "secret" sauce.
did you solve this problem btw?
I did solve it using chantools as recommended by @Lux. Thanks for asking. ;)
