the site has been so laggy. it needs a troubleshoot session but i don't want to core dump just yet with only a day or two left of work on the refactor.

There's some good stuff in ~hyperlinks top/forever. I think this is what @sox intends for it.

I really enjoyed the silk art thing: #1091814

I don't see this on iOS. Which kind of android do you run?

yes, they deadlocked last night

you were right.

territory revenue and rewards have been deadlocking with each other more than usual lately. this is fixed in my refactor.

It's temporary. It's called leaning, folding, or nodding off I think. It's an opiate induced thing where their central nervous is suppressed to the point where they're barely awake/conscious and they lose motor control.

I don't think I have been. I've been hit in the face with baseballs (one intentionally thrown at my face when I wasn't looking, breaking my nose). Slapped. Elbows and knees to the face incidentally in BJJ.

The closest violence-as-a-reality-check I've experienced is being pushed down a staircase. My friend had a party in his trailer. I was drunk and talking shit to some hothead. He pushed me down the five feet of stairs at the entrance of the trailer.

I learned that some people view words as an assault and it's best to let such people live in their lies.

After the refactor deploys, perhaps while I remove trust from ranking, I'll be able to make fine adjustments to things like this. I agree that downzaps should go to the rewards pool.

I wish I knew a drug dealer so I could ask how the effects of this on the market. If these kinds of things are successful, I'd expect there to be some change in the homeless population in Austin. e.g. they're all usually way more chill during the first week of any month, which is when I assume they get federal aid money of some kind.

I'll double check

is, writing hard

I was waiting for someone to get it!

it's called peacocking for a reason

Yes, private channels are a consensus of two. The spec for public channels (ie channels wanting to be included in the network graph) does not support taproot channels yet afaik.

A private taproot channel wouldn't be a separate network any more than any other private channel on its own is. A private channel is like a network of size two, so it is a separate network in a sense.

Public channels which are included in the network graph and can carry payments for other nodes (be routed across) are expected to have non-taproot channels currently.

I worked as a movie theater usher/concessions guy in high school. One of the assistant managers would occasionally steal from my till. The general manager, simpleminded but experimenting with metaphors, perhaps trying to get his point through to this cerebral kid, implied I was somehow a flesh eating bacteria that he'd chop off if he needed to.

After high school, I was a clerk at a grocery store chain that had a union. The threat of the union protected us from most top-down nonsense.

The only post-grad job I had was super hands off. I had great bosses/mentors there. One was an ex-bittorrent 10x eng kind of guy. The other was a math phd that modeled/invented their congestion control algorithms. I was left to myself after a year or so and reported to the cto/cofounder directly once every 6 months or so.
