Last Notes npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Absolute banger episode with @npub128t…fadp npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Good piece, but due to Bitcoin (Niall’s not into it, per his appearance on @npub14mc…frlx's show), a constitutionally minded Supreme Court, and the federal system, history should merely rhyme—not repeat. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nah. Bitcoin is a savings asset for the 2020’s. This is the decade of USDT. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They’re just really good at taking the time to ship great stuff, that’s often in service of some greater vision that’s visible only to a small number of the leadership. Jobs set up the factory and it’s still churning out unmatched products. Every engineer there gets the last ounce of effort squeezed out them by WWDC by the system he set up. It would be even better if Jobs was still around of course, albeit with a tad more burnout. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Does it? https://image.nostr.build/b59245fbe3d9212d04c24dfb3817456a3a22213600a590c33351636098c63a33.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Interesting point made in this podcast that we’re suffering from a wholesale exile of lateral thinkers in influential positions. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yes, the UK has significant problems and those that are down to Brexit are relatively minor. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan That seems like the closest approximation. But still there is something different about the fungibility of sats versus a feature that can only be bought once. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan 👏 Really well written and succinct. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Maybe that slipped by them? 🤷 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The guidelines have allowed this type of thing for a while - they’re fine with in app currencies for tipping others as long as they originate from npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I take that back, it’s *not* using Apple Pay as the OP says. It’s in-app purchase which means the 30% fee is taken as you stated. 😕 https://image.nostr.build/03662c45a5bb4f9b52603b87c7a19ee5f630dfd0e5e14659b5369381fa24d744.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Apple Pay doesn’t have fees on top; 30% is for in-app purchases during the first year. So this is cheap+easy but KYC’d sats. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yep, and it looks like they are definitely not going to succumb to ceasefire pressure. This time it’s different. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They are getting what they want from a fairly narrow view of things. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I’ve been saying this for months! You can’t even proxy the traffic to see what the app is doing with your data. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan We’ll know the shitcoinery is truly over when Chris Dixon leaves A16Z. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan “they all come from a world in which bullshitting hard enough will tend to yield a positive return in the end” npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan No, they were huge from the get-go. I remember it well. Android wasn’t really a thing at that point and in fact completely changed direction with its UX and form factor due to what they saw in the iPhone. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Just be patient Lyn, the prices are coming down due to some magical efficiencies that the meat industry just doesn’t have. 😂 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Ok, this was surprisingly good. Gotta admit this adjusted some of my priors. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Ambulances being blamed for the accident that they attend to. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Where we differ is that I believe the evidence shows that high cholesterol *isn’t* necessary or sufficient because it is not causal. It is simply often present where there is CVD, but what’s missed (per the charts above) is that it is very often present *without* any risk of CVD. (And maybe Fibrinogen levels point to the real causal factor — we don’t know) npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan You’d also be dead. It’s like saying if we take cars off the road nobody will die of a road accident. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan And what causes the accumulation of cholesterol? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan There is no good evidence that lowering cholesterol is an improvement to one’s health. In fact, the opposite may be true. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan No mention of lifestyle changes being adopted at the same time the statin is prescribed. 🤔 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This episode is really great. #note1vyc…fn0p npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Half way through…this is really great.👍 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan By ‘for some time now’ do you mean the last uptick on this chart? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Culture Series > Dune npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I’m not an atheist but that at least is a reasonable position. 🤝 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Christians don’t have a monopoly on Christian morals. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan John Robb’s Substack 🔥 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan If this is the first step in using LLM-generated headlines based on the content within, I’d welcome it. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think aghast is probably a bit strong. I think he’d lean more into educational tools for kids than Tim Cook has, but aside from that not enough has changed since the iPhone 4s/5 for him to be aghast about. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I guess we should thank the EU for (unwittingly) accelerating the flight to platforms like Nostr. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I wonder if the cost to build support for this, deal with ongoing maintenance and reporting costs, plus paying the likely fines will be worth it for them all, or could we see some exiting the EU? npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Read this earlier today and now I really want to see Simone Biles move to the high jump. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/18bc6d94018505b6a5dae85a0c9cb428059e69b1acbcff2f3516a142a95b9e44.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Great to hear. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The best of times, the worst of times. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Main difference is crash reports all go automatically back to the app owner, I think. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Most people still don’t even know there’s an alternative to national banks. If they read his quote there, it might help break the spell. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Matt Levine is a smart guy, but his schtick is to write something pithy that includes lots of snarky pointing and laughing. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan And longevity findings so far seem to only conclude that it’s mainly about eating less / longer periods of eating nothing. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Low inflammation diet. Almost any change that leads to more whole foods and less processed foods will be an improvement. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Reading the replies do remind me of a few spots in later episodes where it didn’t *quite* hit that mark… npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yeah, fun show! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They call ‘em road sodas npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan LMAO. 🔥 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan In the short- to medium-term, there’s going to be a mismatch between authoritarian governments (operating as gangs, really) that steal from their people to fund illegitimate wars and those that don’t (because they cannot) npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Probably because they couldn’t create light and dark mode versions of every Theme. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan If apps and relays can monetize then things will work out. That’s really all that matters IMO. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It is early. Fb was crap until it turned into a feed. Twitter had its tail whale period. Usenet was seeded by nerdy academics and a relatively narrow set of their interests and topics. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Some interesting theories (maybe facts?) emerging about the lack of polish in the paper. Making me more excited. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I would have expected their rationale for not sharing being that bad actors could check and adjust source material to avoid any hashes in the DB (which would undoubtedly be leaked to them) — not the rationale that they provided. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I really question what that is supposed to achieve in anyone that’s under 250 lb and ~8% bf. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Dang ☹️ npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan It seems we might get there soon with a good LLM. 🤞 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan And here it is. Next bet is that they shooting to launch this with the Vision Pro or in an early point release. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Very US/UK oriented list of slurs. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan The first two or three seasons are pretty watchable. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This is good. I think it may force Apple to consider supporting BTC/lightning transactions natively so that they can continue to get their cut. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan If a some email service existed to send Cashu tokens on the back end to people whom you email, would they ban iOS email clients? I think not! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nor would they care if Damus supports that. They are ok with that type of thing! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Was Slint an option? I noticed they changed their licensing terms recently, I think to something more permissive. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Wired has gone downhill. It used to celebrate the very principles that Nostr embodies - principled hackers building something great. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Yes, possibly. As I recall most of them were short (even for tweets) and snarky, not the sort of thing someone used to critiquing with rigour would normally say. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Seems very plausible to me. His old Twitter posts critiquing bitcoin seemed kinda half-hearted to me — possible attempts at misdirection IMO. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Which is why we should ask Apple to support Lightning payments, instead of saying they’re incorrectly interpreting their own rules. #note1y0s…6d78 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan No chance, sadly. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think it’s the same with real-world organizations. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Hardcover, Stripe Press style. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This was amazing. Came across it on Twitter and planned to watch only a few seconds..couldn’t stop. Mike is a force of nature. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nostr CEO says https://nostr.build/i/65b08a4876e93b7044c2ad865ffa50a3cf92c15b4f7eb6866fa2114bea65bba3.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Or Mark Sisson. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan PD Mangan is close. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan His grave site is in Lugano, coincidentally. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan 🤣 love it. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan In general, you’ve always been able to make an app that shares functionality with their features. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I’d go with long-pressing on PFP -> zap before your suggestion, but I think both are dicey. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan 👍 Good creative thinking. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Numberwang npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They’re won’t ban what they don’t know about or don’t understand. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think I’ll stop arguing here, as Apple’s language - which is intentionally broad with the ‘associated’ term being key here - is clear to me, and it’s equally clear I’m not convincing you otherwise. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Pithy, but not exactly a high quality critique. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Apple aren’t objecting to tips. They’re objecting to the zap button underneath each piece of content. And they’ve had a rule that specifies you can’t do that for some time. Their rules are maddeningly complex but this one is right there in plain sight: https://nostr.build/i/335a1de953c1174860adc483bc39b4dfdacf8a6545b6e536e9bab25bc0971160.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan They simply took a closer look at the feature, and found that it clearly violates one of their rules for monetization (which is that tips associated directly with content must use in-app purchase). npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Thank you sir. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan In the meantime, hopefully they’ll listen to feedback like this. I do think if we can convince them that it’s in their interests to support Lightning payments, they’ll do it eventually. https://nostr.build/i/fceb723ab195288212f5c2ded41460cfe62982941567aea6906b643b16f649ac.jpg npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Looking forward to this one! #note18mt…clqc npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Noble but misplaced effort IMO. They have a clear rule based on content tipping requiring IAP. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan When I realized what my donations went towards 🤬😡🤬😡 npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan One way would be to flood Apple with our thoughts on how this should all work (not bitching about it though, keep that in Nostr) npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Interesting that Reddit is going against the desires of its users in order to try to monetize the content that those users generate by charging huge sums for API access. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Nope. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan I think there might be room to be creative — for example with the positioning of the zap button. There also may be some ways to determine the visibility or positioning of the zap button based on the content in the note. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan *potentially* selling digital content. Keep that in mind! npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan This note is a great example of zaps not being for tipping for content. npub1n2vwvkepru9y2kuxnmsxamp2nxeyx9wwdpznphz70kucn8ak0r3s0l5j65 aidan Excellent! I hope they have some creative solutions for you and don’t act all cagey.
