Howdy Stackers
Welcome to the seventh edition of The Daily Zap1 (Formerly SN Morning Bytes) — A Daily Newspaper (Kind of 🙏). Here, you'll get links to all of the latest news and updates mostly from the last 24 hours, divided in Sections (much similar to pages on a newspaper).
Let's unfold!

~Bitcoin News of the Day

  • Defense attorneys for Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill continue to argue that the developers didn’t operate a money transmitting business with Samourai, and Rodriguez requests modifications to his bail conditions.

Global Trade & ~Econ

  • Still, a lower policy rate should translate to cheaper borrowing costs for most kinds of loans while, on average, paychecks are now rising faster than prices as inflation has cooled substantially. Even so, each trip to the grocery store is a reminder that today's dollars don't go as far they did just a few years ago.

~Politics_and_Law

  • ....lawmakers are still contending with whether the Secret Service is underfunded or simply mismanaged, and many have questions about what meaningful security improvements can be made 48 days before the presidential election to an organization under whose watch two apparent assassination attempts have occurred against a former president roughly 60 days apart.

~Stacker_Sports News

  • *Injuries are an unavoidable reality, so finding a way to roll over cap money to a future year for the purposes of "creating cap space out of thin air," the club executive for a longtime insurance buyer said, is one of the league's best-kept secrets.
"This is a rabbit hole most people know nothing about," the former NFL executive said.

~Tech & ~Science

  • The findings, published in Nature Communications, describe a novel mechanism rooted in nature’s own blueprint, similar to how photosynthesis enables plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

~History with Mystery

  • Five days of work and two days of play is how most Americans structure their lives. But the 40-hour, 5-day work week wasn’t enshrined until the passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. That law was the culmination of more than a century of American workers fighting for shorter hours, better wages and safer working conditions.

~Entertainment World

  • On Monday, Danielle Hazel of New York spoke next to the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument located in Central Park. She told the audience about her dream to participate in the pageants, only to find out she was prohibited from competing because she had a son.

An Appeal to Stackers

Currently, this post is under construction (experiment) or under trial until I get a final design or layout and fix some phrases. I intend to give it a finality within 2 or 3 days. For the things that I think are just good enough and can be better are:
  • How do you like this new title?
  • Some headings are attractive and some are just good enough.
  • Need a better intro (may be), a little shorter. What do you say?
Kindly suggest me how can we make it better. Please guide me to improve on title, subtitles, design or anything.
Thanks for reading 🙏

Footnotes

I like the new name, and the headings and formatting are simple and easy to read.
Are these stories curated from SN posts or exclusively from non-SN news sources?
reply
Thanks! These are all from no-SN sources.

Nice, this is a prime example of a 'series' post type I was talking about yesterday #689058
reply
That's a great idea. I'm also running a Music Pool by the nym @SN_MusicPool. Pools are also great idea to have series posts. Previously, I had run a cricket pool in June and an Olympics pool in July. The main idea behind creating this news column is to provide some extra pinch to your daily dose of news.

Cool name.
reply
Thanks.
Which one would be better?
"The Daily Zap - Latest News and Updates"
Or only,
"The Daily Zap"
reply
I would go with the first one for now until people get accustomed with it and know what it is. You can probably drop the tag line in the future.
reply
🙏 This sounds perfect.
reply
What do you think of something like this for your posts?
reply
This will definitely be a cool addition.
reply
Tag line should have been a bit bigger and easier to read and orange newspaper maybe a bit darker. Was the best I could do using free tools.
reply
Yes, I agree. Are you making it all by yourself or just passing an idea to me?
I love the new name. The titles, the design and other things all are well set you just need a logo or blog image that describes it.
reply
This is a very good post. It's better than all those links Stackers keep posting without any info.
reply
Will mommies include unmarried girls within their beauty pageant? I know there are many beauty contests for mothers all around the world? This demand is completely nonsensical.
reply
This is what I thought while I read it. Surely, mommies won't allow a girl to their contests. I think the judges will have the same opinion.
reply
The title seems fine to me, and the categories are well defined according to the main territories. I recommend adding more topics that cover other territories not included in this summary.
reply
Thanks. You'll see them included very soon.
reply
Fantastic this type of post from the colorful title to the topic filter, I honestly hadn't seen it! Good job, these are the kind of things I love about SN, always seeing and learning new things that motivate you to continue discovering the world and everything related to Bitcoin directly and indirectly. Great Work 💪🤠
reply
Thank you so much for the appreciation 🙏

Ah, the labor union myth. What's missing from that story is that working hours had been steadily declining for decades, prior to the passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Since the passage of that act, total working hours (outside the home) have actually increased.
As so often happens, the market was fixing the problem, before the government swooped in and prevented any further progress, while also claiming credit for fixing the problem.
reply
Since the passage of that act, total working hours (outside the home) have actually increased.
Is it due to the inability of an average American to meet both ends adequately by doing 1 job?
reply
In some ways, labor laws entrench a 40 hour work week and make it harder to work either more or less than 40 hours.
Total labor hours increasing has more to do with raising income taxes. That reduced family budgets and made it so moms had to find employment outside the home. If not for some of these labor laws, those extra needed hours would likely have been worked by men increasing their hours.
reply
Surely, from the times immemorial men have been working and women have been taking care of households. But who cares this doctrine now? Either they willfully work or they are made to work for raising extra capital for their family.
reply
Well, it’s ok, quick recap style easy and fast read i like it it’s ok 👌
