Some of those issues I can diagnose from this photograph of nostr: 1) Sometimes our wires gets crossed 2) Usually we are not talking from deep down, but that changes when we are at conferences 3) Take care to avoid the triangle hazards 4) Relays will gossip

Yeah, most governments take at least 6 months. 😆

Iran is threatening our plans to murder more people. We must defend ourselves against this threat. All of our lies depend on it. Lives. I meant 'lives'.

Yes forgive me.

I have to admit to feeling jealousy. I wish my government was shut down.

FYI there is a massive cyberattack on NPM right now, package developers being attacked, nasty commits being added and published, tokens being stolen and used to corrupt more packages. The ecosystem is currently widely corrupted. We just got an advisory from the NZ government about it.

I have not seen that movie. Thanks.

YIkes!

I wonder if I should get one and try modifying its software... and if it is using hardware key storage, if that HW supports other algos.

I like it so far. I'm having some trouble working with a Camera though, across platforms, and remaining app-reactive to each frame grab. `nokhwa` seems like the most advanced cross-platform camera library, but it's camera is !Sync so I can't keep a camera alive across await points, or send it between threads, so I'm going to try nokhwa::threaded::CallbackCamera next. Dioxus is apparently very well funded and has a bright future.

Interesting. Perhaps. I should read that. I just noticed the second graph in my link, set to all time and go back before 1950. Homes were far more expensive than now, compared to average personal income. I guess people lived in large families still so that made it possible.

House prices are often hard to figure out. Is the market high? It is low? What is normal? I'm fond of the ratio of average house price to median household yearly income. This gives a number that you can compare across countries and over time. For you Americans: https://www.longtermtrends.net/home-price-median-annual-income-ratio/ The lowest I've seen in my lifetime is 3.6 in the USA in 1973. The highest I've seen in my lifetime is 8.9 in NZ in 2022. NZ has fallen off of that back down to about 7. Which is now equal to the highest the US has ever seen. The 2005-2007 subprime meltdown, where up to 25% of subprime loans became bad debt, the peak was at 7. The US is back up to about 7.

I've put issues on https://github.com/mikedilger/nostr-next as a dumping ground for things I thought were too hard for nostr to solve.

Yeah, this is kinda old. Like me. Old and slow

Population growth is slowing way down. Some people are worried about this. But I think it is a good thing. The Earth has some carrying capacity and if we go beyond it people will start starving. That is not fun. Yes, we can engineer a higher carrying capacity as we did during the green revolution. But there are still limits. Population is still growing. It is still growing in the USA. It is still growing in NZ. It is very much still growing in sub-Saharan Africa. Current estimates put the peak at 10 billion. The problem with population contraction that most of you and I will feel is that all the government (and non-government) Ponzi schemes will collapse. Economies will be rubbish, growth will be stalwart. But you can accustom yourself to such times. The idea that we need to start having more babies is misguided. We could push out the inevitable, but we can't avoid it happening eventually.
