This is my second attempt at this experiment. See yesterday's entry #569328.
It was exciting seeing how much enthusiasm there was for this, as well as how much concern you all expressed for how I'm spending my time. :)
This time the format is a little different and I'm adding excerpted quotes. Also, most sats forwarded to original stackers.

#191551 Unpopular Opinions - A Weekend Discussion
by @sn
To encourage healthy debate and to introduce SN users to new ideas, we thought it would be fun to open the floor for you all to share your most unpopular opinions about Bitcoin, Nostr, or any other topic you're passionate about.

Bitcoin is not salvation, a deity, the most moral cause in the world, etc.

#35583 SN release: usage dashboard
by @k00b
Right now it just shows some monthly growth stats, but I'll add stuff to it as time goes on. The idea is users can follow along with growth, recommend any new metrics, speculate on approaches to improve metrics, etc. Radical transparency is just cool too.

This is pretty old news at this point but I wanted it to be the first story anyway
Forwarded sats is a nice iteration.
Refresh the post. Today is a truly historic SN day and I didn't realize it.
This deserves a post in ~meta territory. Make the post now!
Do it yourself, deadbeat
The post deserved a more elaborate text and now I don't have much time. @ek, can you do the post?
I don't understand (not on purpose). This post is already in ~meta?
Isn't today SN's birthday? The post was about it.
Ohh, that's what you meant. I agree, someone should do it.
Wow, it's 3 years since the first post π
It must have been divine providence that I started this yesterday, not to be grandiose.
Something occurred to me seeing these; we've retroactively applied current day trust quite a few times. It's kind of weird time travel thing, because people who weren't trusted then became trusted overtime and influenced our view of the past. Hmm there's something interesting there.
I've wondered about that a little bit, too. It's one of the reasons I like the idea of incorporating all-time rankings in the rewards. Maybe someone did some great POW, but it was missed at the time, because the trust scores didn't realize how things would develop.
I wonβt say thanks for doing this because Iβm sure youβre deriving lots of satisfaction from this new endeavour. I just learnt about the Hawthorne effect recently.
The Hawthorne effect suggests that 1) the novelty value of change in a routine can lead to increased productivity, but 2) the productivity increase is temporary, so 3) itβs good to change things up from time to time. The Hawthorne effect states that the determining factor is the fact of a change, rather than the specific change itself
Not sure if the Hawthorne effect brings you productivity gains but Iβm sure the novelty keeps things fresh.
I like how you extracted the pertinent bits AND forwarded some zaps to the authors. Who knows, this poke might incentivise some of them to come back xP
I would love for you to pen a simple takeaway at the end. How did you feel when you were compiling the dayβs events? What thought(s) went through your mind? Nothing onerous, just something brief. Iβm always curious at the person behind the endeavour
I was talking to @siggy47 about wanting to put my own little summaries. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Isn't there a Chinese saying about groping for river stones with your feet to find your way across? I remember hearing something like that once and I thought it was neat.
There is a Chinese saying for slow is smooth. We say ζ ’ε·₯εΊη»θ΄§ (MΓ n gΕng chΕ« xΓ¬huΓ³). Literal: (slow work) (yields) (fine work)
How would you translate the river one?
The context I heard it in was the CCP trying to liberalize the economy without giving up control, but I didnβt realize thatβs where it came from.
I think the way you put it is fine. It retains the original flavour of the saying.
The context behind the saying is that because there are no ready-made bridges and boats and because no one has ever crossed the river before you, you got to test the waters and move ahead, one step at a time. The following is from its Wikipedia page:
βζΈηη³ε€΄θΏζ²³βζ¬ζζε¨ζ²‘ζεδΊΊη»ιͺγ沑ζη°ζηζ‘₯εθΉηζ ε΅δΈοΌθ¦ζ³θΏζ²³ε°±εΏ ι‘»δ»₯θΊ«θ―ζ°΄γζΈη΄’εθΏβ
Language forums translate this to improvising by trial and error. Which is a fine translation I guess, but the original essence is lost

Shout-out @davidw for the original use of this image as horizontal rule in his posts
Thanks, that is the formatting issue I was most unhappy about.
I have always wondered, is it okay to post comments on older posts?
Or are they considered over?
Or forever open?
It is considered awesome.
Okay, I will be commenting on old posts!
Everyone is warned!
Comment away!
hhhhmm...I will.
Sometimes days are slow.
nice format:

@k00b is like the Nokola Jokic of SN, tops in all the categories.
Great analogy and you didn't even make a comparison between their physiques.
It's hard to know w/ @k00b, he doesn't reveal a lot in SNL.
https://m.stacker.news/34994
Haha, exactly. Perfect illustration.
Oh snap, so today is an SN holiday.
Happy 3 years @k00b @sn from item #1!
Also this day in history, SN's first AMA : #2
Now I expect that you post this every day with format improvements
You're welcome to expect whatever you want, but remember that the key to happiness is low expectations.
Every week would also be okay :)
btw, this reminds me of creepy Google flashbacks but in less creepy
Ok, I'll endeavor to be more creepy, just for you.
π daily POW
So far, refresh the post though. I published it before realizing what a historic day it is for SN.
and only 10% for himself π
daily humble
It was 40% before I realized there were 3 2021 entries to reward.
@k00b's going to get a lot of well deserved forwards out of this series.
Okay, I was just going to inform you and now I see it. It's really amazing to go back where I was not there. This makes super easy for all new comers to find top content in history. It's great, it's huge! Well done!!!
Thanks, most of this will be new for me, as well.
As a relative newcomer, I really appreciate these.
All of the 2021 stuff and almost all of the 2022 stuff will be new to me, too, probably also a lot the 2023 stuff.
Very nice. I believe that along with daily information, some changes will also be seen.
I liked this one more than yesterday's, but tomorrow's will probably look pretty similar.
