I occasionally see comments or posts with Twitter screennames (usernames) that SN treats as an SN @nym
Would it be useful if SN were to have special handling if the comment or post had @screenname@Twitter.com, and then treated it as if it was @screenname?
i.e., To let me add the suffix @Twitter.com and SN detects it and does the markdown suitable for Twitter.
This approach would work for Instagram and others too I suppose, though I don't see much of other social media usernames here on SN.
Lets you copy text from a web page or even a Tweet and then create the markdown for that so you can easily paste that into a post or comment reply here on SN.
On stacker.news sats change hands between hundreds of users every day and it doesent touch the protocol until someone withdraws so LN is a settlement layer too :)
I think this is more so speaking to the fact that as protocol layers progress, the outer layer will be custodial/centralized until a layer absorbs the use case.
For now, a Stacker News style UX is easiest to describe custodially but I highly doubt that'll be the case in the future. I'll be exploring non-custodial solutions later this year and should have a better idea of how close we are realizing this.
Guess today will be a good day to set up my channel etc. to be honest kind of wanting the splicing feature to come out already so I can go into the process with that extra tool just sounds so convenient.
And what do you do for fun if you don't mind me asking? I'm assuming the trials are not much time consuming, so you have probably quite a bit of time? (is that correct?)
I have a lot of down time in and out of studies, and, because I'm a home body, my activities in and out of studies are hardly all that different. I'm not an exciting person. Lol.
In studies: I usually sign up for studies where the in-house stay is, at least, 20 days. In between the usual procedures of vitals (blood pressure and temperature), blood draws, and EKG's, I'm online watching M-F shows on the crypto/bitcoin industry, politics, and current events, listening to podcasts, playing games on my laptops, or lurking/posting in message boards. Shows include: Coindesk shows, The Gentlemen of Crypto, Simply Bitcoin, Bitcoin Magazine.
Out of studies: The only difference is me riding my e-bike around town. I ride an orange RadWagon 4. Hope I can get an Onyx RCR, Spark Works Bandit or maybe even a Super 73 S2 by the end of next year. The RadWagon 4 is a nice car replacement for inner city travel, but something sexier would be nice. I also hit up movie theaters...usually by myself, because I'm a bit of a lone wolf.
Varies year to year. I make anywhere from $25k - $50k. Made $50k last year.
The study I'm doing the outpatient for in Dallas (Covance/LabCorp) paid $13k. Stayed at the facility for 31 days straight. The study I did before this (Icon - formerly PRA Health Sciences) also paid $13k.
Most of these facilities list the studies open for recruitment, the compensation, and time commitment involved.
A little. There's some studies I won't do just based on word of mouth experiences of other participants. I won't do any studies where the medication is treating Alzheimer's, and I'm a bit wary of those treating Parkinson's and schizophrenia. Had a roommate who did a study at Celerion in Arizona who did an Alzheimer's where most of the participants in her study, including her, became pretty sick. The med lowered their white blood cells, and they caught something. This was several years ago. In another instance, a woman in her 60s told me that the Alzheimer's med she took caused her to almost forget where she lived.
Oh, yeah. I absolutely won't do anything that has lumbar punctures where they take some of your spinal fluid. Those are rare to come by though.
I can't do opioid med studies, not because I can't handle them, but because of the "blocker" medication (like Naltrexone) that's usually given beforehand. Blocker meds cause me to throw up within 15min.
Back in 2011 though, I almost passed out while showering. The drug for that study was an anti-depressant.
@screenname@Twitter.com, and then treated it as if it was @screenname?@Twitter.comand SN detects it and does the markdown suitable for Twitter.An item for hyperinflation nerds.
