What do we think about an indicator (optional) showing that a territory is founded forever? Has there been a discussion about this?

reply

I like how @hn is place 30 in MSM. Haven't decided yet if that's more sad or funny.

https://m.stacker.news/19220

And oh wow, @hn is on its longest cowboy hat streak, too!

imagine a bot winning MSM

Oh no! @grayruby and I have been split up amongst a sea of nameless cowards.

They are all going dark for some reason.

Feeling like buying some territory

reply

https://m.stacker.news/19205

kind of run out of ideas at the end. wasn't easy to come up with territory suggestions ngl

reply

There are some used territories you could offer.

reply

Soon™

Which do you have in mind?

111

reply

Does it matter which one, since the buyer can just change the name?

reply

Mhh, good point. But the content will still be there until we added a checkbox to make the old content disappear.

But if you're going to rename a territory (and the old content is gone), it wouldn't matter if you buy it used or create a new one, no?

reply

Good point, maybe you need to offer a discount to unarchive a territory, since it's used.

reply

What makes an used territory worse than a new territory?

kind of fishing for your econ experience

Hey, I saw that you were the one who broke the notifications a few hours ago. With so many windows open, the SN servers couldn't handle it.

@DarthCoin

If Value Added Tax is included, it's refundable if you are buying a consumer good for yourself, eg washmachine

Gotta ask for a company bill when paying and put your data and TIN

Then mail the tax service, in accordance with Art 6 Par 1 of the Value Added Tax Act they will refund it

reply

But that TIN it means a "taxable person/corporation".
VAT is such a sneaky bastard, somebody at the end of the line will pay it anyway.

reply

yes, you are using it to get your money back and stack more sats

Would it be possible to see our ranking on the leaderboard without having to enable the option in the settings? @sn

reply

People always want to enjoy the cake and eat it 😅

reply

😂 I would really like to know, I'm very curious. The way it is now, we have to disable the option in the settings, and even if it's just for a short time, it's possible that someone will see. I caught someone doing this, it was a coincidence that I had the page open at that time. 😂

reply

cowboys are always playing dirty games...
Not like samourais, having a code of honor.

reply

😅 This way is funnier 😅 In these early days of MSM, I'm more like a ninja - no one sees them, but they get the job done well ;) I'm thinking of becoming visible later on.

reply

You might just be unranked, though. Better start zapping like a maniac just in case.

reply

😅 In fact, the amount of sats you zap/receive isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is to post/comment and ZAP good content. That was one of the first things I learned when I joined Stacker News.

reply

Still, better safe than sorry.

Just noticed that one's ranking in the march sat madness thing is truly a work of yoyo. Recent activity seems to play a big role. An afternoon not playing can stretch the rope quite long.

reply

The ranking for MSM doesn't consider the time factor as the hot filter.

reply

It should stabilize as more days go by. We're still in small sample territory.

reply

This comment convinced me that @Undisciplined is really as smart at @grayruby sometimes thinks.

As smart as I think Undisciplined is or as smart as I think I am. Haha.

Howdy!!! Wednesday is here and with full force, this middle of the week has arrived with some gusts of wind and rain, but nothing says get things done like a day that tries to complicate things, so believe in your strategies, eye on the prize and keep on keeping on, my friend. I believe in you and I'm sure you will accomplish amazing things, so go out there and show this week what we're made of. Let's do this!!! Have a wonderful day and may it be productive, successful and filled with love and purpose. As always my friend, be well and stay frosty.

reply

Whoop whoop. Halfway through the week!

reply

I cannot get motivated today. I have lots of paperwork just sitting there. I am attending a funeral tonight for a close friend's daughter. A real tragedy. 35 year old woman with a 1 year old daughter. I represented her a few times. Kind of straightens out your priorities.

reply

I’m so sorry. Makes me want to hug my children a little tighter

Take care

reply

I’m so sorry to hear that.
Regardless of the circumstances it focuses you in a moment. Most people hope for a better tomorrow, a brighter future and we need to realise there is also a here-and-now.
Hope it goes as well as can be expected for your friend and their family.

reply

Yes. I don't want to portray it as my loss. I feel horrible for my friend. I didn't know his daughter well. Of course at these moments every parent's empathy goes off the charts

reply

Sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace.

reply

Damn, I am sorry to hear that.

reply

I want to confess something. My programming quality and speed has increased significantly since I let AI to help me. But it makes me feel dumb when I am tying to code something complex for an hour and then I let AI do it and it gives me a better solution in 10 seconds.
I am sad and amazed at the same time. And it is just starting. So I think today I will concentrate in taking care of the hens and maybe planting potatoes.

I don't get it. I'll ask ChatGPT what does it mean. :D

Attended a working memory webinar hosted by Andrew Watson. Performed Proof of Work by coming up with the following poster:

https://m.stacker.news/19093

Emailed him the poster. He replied my question!

This is his response (I edited it for length):

• If you have traumatized students in your class, you should do whatever the school's mental health counsellors tell you to do. There should be a specialist with specific advice and a specific plan for each student with such a diagnosis.
• Note the difference between "trauma" and “stresses”.

  • “Trauma” is a subjective response to specific circumstances (experience of near death/permanent injury/profound loss of safety + control).
  • “Stresses” refer to most students' school experiences: getting a bad grade, or breaking up with a significant other, or being cut from the football team.
    • Teachers can help to manage stresses; they need to enlist counsellors’ help to manage traumas.
