How I would flirt with a girl in my class if I had more confidence:
Making a heartbeat sound with an empty plastic bottle (dut-dut ... dut-dut), and when she looks at me, I make the heartbeat sound faster (dut-dut dut-dut)

oh cool! It's interesting to see a little bit about their decision. From what @moneyball said in his talk at bitcoin++ (05:25:04):
When I inquired, it's not a technology limitation but actually an intentional policy decision by their NC...uh...I can't steelman the argument. They feel like it's disingenuous to users to not publish it because of the risk of a Spark Operator potentially publishing it
It sounds like the reasoning is that in a world where there are many Spark Operators, users are vulnerable to this privacy leak if the operators choose to reveal the data or if they have a leak. So rather than have people lulled into a false sense of security, Spark chose to make it clear that your address is trackable.
It seems like this would have been okay if there had been a lot more communication about this as one of the trade-offs of using Spark.
It is still the case that Breez has access to all users spark addresses.
This made me think about the median zap vs fee. Unless something is truly slop, I baseline zap ~AI posts. I'm quite sure that others like @siggy47, @grayruby and @Undisciplined do the same on their territories. This may also affect the volume?
My guess is it's him. He joined the board of Jan3 in January and his tweets have largely followed the line of Excellion.
Also Szabo's recent immigration takes seem to align with his pre 2021 takes.
Does the protocol require to reuse addresses like Breez SDK and Blitz wallet do?
This also seems to be the case for the SDK from Spark itself since I found this in their official developer guide:
Important Notes
- The same wallet will always generate the same Spark Address
But not sure if that's a technical limitation of the protocol, or just a limitation of all existing SDKs and wallets.
Maybe this is a question for @benthecarman?
Wow, never married for ages 45-49 in 1980 was under 4% for females and under 6% for males? That is surprisingly low to me
Nice work, I'll try to follow these as closely as I can.
Maybe outside of your study's scope (and/or maybe it has been mentioned elsewhere already) but it would be interesting to see a qualitative analysis of posts.
I don't know if you could use lexical diversity as a metric, or perhaps compare bitcoin-related to non-bitcoin content. Just a thought.
It's... configurable? What other 30.0 feature is controversial that is not configurable? txorphanage?
All this drama because Szabo came back or his acct got hacked?
This made me think about how in started my Fiction Month Entry #1085995
Looks like I started it with dialogue, but actually really more of a sound, the sound of a news radio program droning on in the background
Thanks, I looked at Lopp's tests. And the closest storage solution to compare with is Crypto Keys, which ranks A overall. The difference with Seed Keys is that I used 316L stainless steel instead of 304 - so it should fare even better on corrosion.
P2P is the best there is but I Robosats is good for online without an ID. Not sure of payment methods in BCN though.
It doesn’t solve all the issues but Israel pulling back (even though they are in the middle of bombing the hell out of Gaza) and Hamas releasing the remaining hostages is a step I didn’t expect to see come to fruition this fast
Update:
As you would expect the living will be released first followed by the deceased.
In our municipal elections last time I voted 5 times for my friend's father was running for the Chairman of the municipality. ;)
You're getting to this in one of your next steps, but as I'm sure you expected I have questions about bias and endogeneity.
It helps that you can show the relationship holds within territories, so we know it's not just some artifact of composition. However, there still are lots of other things going on.
- Reverse causality: Some territories might raise their fees because they have low volume but expect that volume to be inelastic. I think this describes what @realBitcoinDog did with ~HealthAndFitness and it's what @jeff was doing with ~econ before he handed it over to me.
- Spurious correlation: There may have simply been lower fees when territories were first introduced, which corresponded to a busier time at SN. During the early price discovery process founders were fairly slow to raise fess because no one had any idea what the optimal fees were. Unless somewhat higher fees caused the decline of SN activity (maybe it did!), then this is a problem.
- Selection: Territories have different focuses. ~news is geared towards higher volume shorter posts, while ~mostly_harmless is for more thoughtful content. I suspect the intention of the territory is doing work in addition to the fees.
I'm sure we'll both think of more, but that's enough to start with.
Some sort of dif-in-dif design could get at the reverse causality issue.
You might be able to use a relative measure of fees and activity to check the spurious correlation problem.
I bet something as simple as territory fixed effects will take care of the selection issue.
