# Bitcoin accepted Here How Small Business Can Accept Bitcoin Payments. I began writing this blog before zaps existed. I used the LNBits demo version to create a tip jar I added to the end of my blogs on Ghost. I didn’t make a ton of sats, but it felt great to get tips every now and then. We will get back to this tip jar in a minute, but in the beginning, I wrote about my half-assed attempts to orange pill merchants at my local farmers market. I didn’t have a plan. I just walked up to random women selling zucchini and asked, “do you accept bitcoin?” Out of a hundred people I asked, only one person said yes. I now to to a brewery that accepts bitcoin using the [Aqua Wallet](nostr:naddr1qqrhym28xpxrjvqzyp6m7g6nrt5lnrrzn9d6quv3ujyw44r4jafhr43a0h75d00ph75f2qcyqqqgtwc96yw37). This works, but we haven't figured out how to allow him to accept bitcoin when the owner of the brewery isn't there. I think I found the answer. The brewer can print out a QR code with a single Liquid address. Anyone with the address can see the amount of fees paid on each transaction. They will see how many transactions were associated with this address, but they won't be able to see the amounts of the transaction. The butcher can buy a beer using this address. The baker can also buy a beer with this address. The brewer knows how much the baker and the butcher paid, but the baker cannot see the amount the butcher paid and vice-versa. The employees will also not be able to see how much customers pay, but the baker can reveal the amount by clicking the View unblinded transaction in Explorer.  The amount paid is shown on the sent page, so the bartender(an employee of the brewer) can verify the payment went through as well as the total amount. Of course the amount is denominated in L-BTC. If the bartender needs to know how much this amount of sats is worth in dirty fiat, she can use the sats converter webpage from [plebnet.dev](https://rates.plebnet.dev/). In this example, 1,838 sats equals $1.07 at the time of this writing. We simply convert the decimal to sats by removing all the zeros. This is very easy and requires very little technical know-how.  ## Coinos nostr:naddr1qqr5wmzcvedysnczyp6m7g6nrt5lnrrzn9d6quv3ujyw44r4jafhr43a0h75d00ph75f2qcyqqqgtwcg02j4f We can also create a Point of Sale Service. [Coinos](https://coinos.io) is the easiest way to do this and they charge a very small fee. also creates a nostr key. You could use this to advertise your business on nostr, a decentralized communications protocol where a lot of people who like spending bitcoin on the Internet hang out. You can also use Coinos to obtain a lightning address. Lightning addresses look like an email address, but people send you [sats](https://www.kraken.com/learn/what-are-bitcoin-satoshis-sats) instead. Here is a 16 minute video I created to teach you how to use Coinos as a bitcoin payment terminal. Coinos nostr:naddr1qqr5wmzcvedysnczyp6m7g6nrt5lnrrzn9d6quv3ujyw44r4jafhr43a0h75d00ph75f2qcyqqqgtwcg02j4f ### BTCpayServer BTCpayServer let's you set up bitcoin wallets in several interesting ways. You can use Greenlight to create a self custodial lightning wallet using a key made of 12 valid BIP39 words(also known as a regular bitcoin wallet). There's no need to find liquidity or run any specialized hardware. I suppose you don't even need to run a node, but you should do that anyway. The easiest way to set up BTCpayServer is to deploy it on [LunaNode](https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/LunaNode/). This is my favorite way to run it because it has the best uptime and gives me the least headaches. It costs about $15.00 per month which adds up to $180 per year. That get's expensive over a while. You can also run it on a $400 computer from [Umbrel](https://umbrel.com/) too. I can only get the payments to work on my local network and TOR however. I learned how to host it on the clearnet(also known as the normal Internet) using CloudFlare, but the payments won't work on BTCpayServer for some reason. I was also able to run LNBits on the [clearnet using Start9](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@iris.to/how-to-host-start9-services-on-the-clearnet) but this instance does not allow us to install the required plugins we need to run these fancy nodes in the cloud. It is the same instance that you see on the BTCpayServer Demo site. I'm not sure why they are different. This is not a complaint My Start9 is a bad ass computer. It also lets me host websites out of my closet on the clearnet. BTCpayServer has several interesting features. - Sell downloadable tutorials - Instantly convert bitcoin to dollars(or your local national currency) using the Strike plugin - Run a Custodial Lightning Wallet in the cloud using Greenlight. - Create a store on Shopify or WordPress - Automatically delete customer information every two weeks. BTCpayServer is for those who want to run a bad ass bitcoiner business for bitcoiners by bitcoiners. **How To Use BTCpayServer with the Strike API** nostr:naddr1qqr4q3m9fe34wdgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygr4hu34xxhflxxx9x2m5pcereygat28t96nw8tr6l0ag677r0agj5psgqqqskasw0nrwh **How To Use BTCpayServer with Greenlignt with the Breez Plugin** nostr:naddr1qqr4jsmv2e6n2tgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsygr4hu34xxhflxxx9x2m5pcereygat28t96nw8tr6l0ag677r0agj5psgqqqskassqw0d5 ## LNBits LNBits has a new feature. It allows us to sell our software as a service. We can become an uncle Jim. I run an instance of LNBits using an API from getalby. I also have the GetAlby Hub, but have not switched API's yet. We can also use other API's like from ZBD or opennode. I run mine on Start9 and it works over the clearnet, although I hope to use a reverse TOR proxy soon. It's easy to run on an old Linux computer. They have [great docs](https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits/blob/main/docs/guide/installation.md) If you don't want to bother with that, you can also run this on Start9 or Umbrel. **Sell Extentions As A Service** The most interesting thing about LNBits is that it allows you to sell software as a service. This is a little known fact, but it's an interesting way to turn our nodes into a software as a service business. Bitkarrot mentioned this on this episode of Bitcoin Audible. Ben Arc also announced it on Citadel Dispatch. I'm going to sell extensions for 10,000 sats. I don't expect to make much money. I would consider myself lucky if I earned enough to buy a cup of coffee, but this is an interesting concept. Keep in mind, this is a custodial service. I use an Alby API. Don't keep to many sats on this. Treat it like a cash register. You You should withdraw your sats to self custody every day like a business empty's it's cash register out every day and puts the cash in a safe. **LNBits POS Tutorial** nostr:naddr1qqrkcaj5xqchyugzyp6m7g6nrt5lnrrzn9d6quv3ujyw44r4jafhr43a0h75d00ph75f2qcyqqqgtwcr947q9 If you want to accept bitcoin at a shop, try it [here](https://lnbits.blogging-bitcoin.com/). ₿logging ₿itcoin [848,231](https://timechaincalendar.com/en/block/855942) [debtclock](https://www.usdebtclock.org/) All my blogs are available for free and written using under the [CCO-1.0](https://github.com/BrutusBondBTC/blogposts?tab=CC0-1.0-1-ov-file#readme) licence.

As always, I'm shopping around. I was wondering what people think the best custodial lightning wallet for Android is? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/640692

@ 000002de:c05780a7

Just something to think about today. You can't do everything in one day but even things as simple as using open source sovereign tools is something. Using bitcoin. Many other things. Taking responsibility for your personal safety. Earning and saving wealth. You will never vote your way to sovereignty or freedom. It takes action. There are many things you can do that do not cost you anything but time. They are not dangerous. They are not revolutionary but when more people do them they have impact. Its much easier to just sit back and be lazy. Thinking you can vote every 4 years and make some difference. I'm not telling you to not vote. But I am telling you that will never fix your problems. That's up to you and I. No one is coming to free you. It is up to you. And you can make positive change. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/640546

There was a woman of the Island of Innis-Sark who was determined to take revenge on a man because he called her by an evil name. So she went to the Saints’ Well, and, kneeling down, she took some of the water and poured it on the ground in the name of the devil, saying, “So may my enemy be poured out like water, and lie helpless on the earth!” Then she went round the well backwards on her knees, and at each station she cast a stone in the name of the devil, and said, “So may the curse fall on him, and the power of the devil crush him!” After this she returned home. Now the next morning there was a stiff breeze, and some of the men were afraid to go out fishing; but others said they would try their luck, and amongst them was the man on whom the curse rested. But they had not gone far from land when the boat was capsized by a heavy squall. The fishermen, however, saved themselves by swimming to shore; all except the man on whom the curse rested, and he sank like lead to the bottom, and the waves covered him, and he was drowned. When the woman heard of the fate that had befallen her enemy, she ran to the beach and clapped her hands with joy and exulted. And as she stood there laughing with strange and horrid mirth, the corpse of the man she had cursed slowly rose up from the sea, and came drifting towards her till it lay almost at her very feet. On this she stooped down to feast her eyes on the sight of the dead man, when suddenly a storm of wind screamed past her, and hurled her from the point of rock where she stood. And when the people ran in all haste to help, no trace of her body could be seen. The woman and the corpse of the man she had cursed disappeared together under the waves, and were never seen again from that time forth.

The Well of St. Brendan, in High Island, has great virtue, but the miraculous power of the water is lost should a thief or a murderer drink of it. Now a cruel murder had been committed on the mainland, and the priest noticed the people that if the murderer tried to conceal himself in the island no one should harbour him or give him food or drink. It happened at that time there was a woman of the island afflicted with pains in her limbs, and she went to the Holy Well to make the stations and say the prayers, and so get cured. But many a day passed and still she got no better, though she went round and round the well on her knees, and recited the paters and aves as she was told. Then she went to the priest and told him the story, and he perceived at once that the well had been polluted by the touch of some one who had committed a crime. So he bade the woman bring him a bottle of the water, and she did as he desired. Then having received the water, he poured it out, and breathed on it three times in the name of the Trinity; when, lo! the water turned into blood. “Here is the evil,” cried the priest. “A murderer has washed his hands in the well.” He then ordered her to make a fire in a circle, which she did, and he pronounced some words over it; and a mist rose up with the form of a spirit in the midst, holding a man by the arm. “Behold the murderer,” said the spirit; and when the woman looked on him she shrieked— “It is my son! my son!” and she fainted. For the year before her son had gone to live on the mainland, and there, unknown to his mother, he had committed the dreadful murder for which the vengeance of God lay on him. And when she came to herself the spirit of the murderer was still there. “Oh, my Lord! let him go, let him go!” she cried. “You wretched woman!” answered the priest. “How dare you interpose between God and vengeance. This is but the shadowy form of your son; but before night he shall be in the hands of the law, and justice shall be done.” Then the forms and the mist melted away, and the woman departed in tears, and not long after she died of a broken heart. But the well from that time regained all its miraculous powers, and the fame of its cures spread far

To prove innocence of a crime a certain ancient form is gone through, which the people look on with great awe, and call it emphatically—“The Clearing.” It is a fearful ordeal, and instances are known of men who have died of fear and trembling from having passed through the terrors of the trial, even if innocent. And it is equally terrible for the accuser as well as the accused. On a certain day fixed for the ordeal the accused goes to the churchyard and carries away a skull. Then, wrapped in a white sheet, and bearing the skull in his hand, he proceeds to the house of the accuser, where a great crowd has assembled; for the news of “A Clearing” spreads like wildfire, and all the people gather together as witnesses of the ceremony. There, before the house of his accuser, he kneels down on his bare knees, makes the sign of the cross on his face, kisses the skull, and prays for some time in silence; the people also wait in silence, filled with awe and dread, not knowing what the result may be. Then the accuser, pale and trembling, comes forward and stands beside the kneeling man; and with uplifted hand adjures him to speak the truth. On which the accused, still kneeling and holding the skull in his hand, utters the most fearful imprecation known in the Irish language; almost as terrible as that curse of the Druids, which is so awful that it never yet was put into English words. The accused prays that if he fail to speak the truth all the sins of the man whose skull he holds may be laid upon his soul, and all the sins of his forefathers back to Adam, and all the punishment due to them for the evil of their lives, and all their weakness and sorrow both of body and soul be laid on him both in this life and in the life to come for evermore. But if the accuser has accused falsely and out of malice, then may all the evil rest on his head through this life for ever, and may his soul perish everlastingly. It would be impossible to describe adequately the awe with which the assembled people listen to these terrible words, and the dreadful silence of the crowd as they wait to see the result. If nothing happens the man rises from his knees after an interval, and is pronounced innocent by the judgment of the people, and no word is ever again uttered against him, nor is he shunned or slighted by the neighbours. But the accuser is looked on with fear and dislike; he is considered unlucky, and seeing that his life is often made so miserable by the coldness and suspicion of the people, many would rather suffer wrong than force the accused person to undergo so terrible a trial as “The Clearing.”

There was a young man of Innismore, named James Lynan, noted through all the island for his beauty and strength. Never a one could beat him at hunting or wrestling, and he was, besides, the best dancer in the whole townland. But he was bold and reckless, and ever foremost in all the wild wicked doings of the young fellows of the place. One day he happened to be in chapel after one of these mad freaks, and the priest denounced him by name from the altar. “James Lynan,” he said, “remember my words; you will come to an ill end. The vengeance of God will fall on you for your wicked life; and by the power that is in me I denounce you as an evil liver and a limb of Satan, and accursed of all good men.” The young man turned pale, and fell on his knees before all the people, crying out bitterly, “Have mercy, have mercy; I repent, I repent,” and he wept like a woman. “Go now in peace,” said the priest, “and strive to lead a new life, and I’ll pray to God to save your soul.” From that day forth James Lynan changed his ways. He gave up drinking, and never a drop of spirits crossed his lips. And he began to attend to his farm and his business, in place of being at all the mad revels and dances and fairs and wakes in the island. Soon after he married a nice girl, a rich farmer’s daughter, from the mainland, and they had four fine children, and all things prospered with him. But the priest’s words never left his mind, and he would suddenly turn pale and a shivering would come over him when the memory of the curse came upon him. Still he prospered, and his life was a model of sobriety and order. One day he and his wife and their children were asked to the wedding of a friend about four miles off; and James Lynan rode to the place, the family going on their own car. At the wedding he was the life of the party as he always was; but never a drop of drink touched his lips. When evening came on, the family set out for the return home just as they had set out; the wife and children on the car, James Lynan riding his own horse. But when the wife arrived at home, she found her husband’s horse standing at the gate riderless and quite still. They thought he might have fallen in a faint, and went back to search; when he was found down in a hollow not five perches from his own gate, lying quite insensible and his features distorted frightfully, as if seized while looking on some horrible vision. They carried him in, but he never spoke. A doctor was sent for, who opened a vein, but no blood came. There he lay like a log, speechless as one dead. Amongst the crowd that gathered round was an old woman accounted very wise by the people. “Send for the fairy doctor,” she said; “he is struck.” So they sent off a boy on the fastest horse for the fairy man. He could not come himself, but he filled a bottle with a potion. Then he said— “Ride for your life; give him some of this to drink and sprinkle his face and hands also with it. But take care as you pass the lone bush on the round hill near the hollow, for the fairies are there and will hinder you if they can, and strive to break the bottle.” Then the fairy man blew into the mouth and the eyes and the nostrils of the horse, and turned him round three times on the road and rubbed the dust off his hoofs. “Now go,” he said to the boy; “go and never look behind you, no matter what you hear.” So the boy went like the wind, having placed the bottle safely in his pocket; and when he came to the lone bush the horse started and gave such a jump that the bottle nearly fell, but the boy caught it in time and held it safe and rode on. Then he heard a cluttering of feet behind him, as of men in pursuit; but he never turned or looked, for he knew it was the fairies who were after him. And shrill voices cried to him, “Ride fast, ride fast, for the spell is cast!” Still he never turned round, but rode on, and never let go his hold of the fairy draught till he stopped at his master’s door, and handed the potion to the poor sorrowing wife. And she gave of it to the sick man to drink, and sprinkled his face and hands, after which he fell into a deep sleep. But when he woke up, though he knew every one around him, the power of speech was gone from him; and from that time to his death, which happened soon after, he never uttered word more. So the doom of the priest was fulfilled—evil was his youth and evil was his fate, and sorrow and death found him at last, for the doom of the priest is as the word of God.

An ancient woman living at Innis-Sark said that in her youth she knew a young woman who had been married for five years, but had no children. And her husband was a rough, rude fellow, and used to taunt her and beat her often, because she was childless. But in the course of time it came to pass that a man-child was born to her; and he was beautiful to look on as an angel from heaven. And the father was so proud of the child that he often stayed at home to rock the cradle, and help his wife at the work. One day, however, as he rocked the cradle, the child looked up suddenly at him, and lo! there was a great beard on its face. Then the father cried out to his wife— “This is not a child, but a demon! You have put an evil spell on him.” And he struck her and beat her worse than ever he had done in his life before, so that she screamed aloud for help. On this the place grew quite dark, and thunder rolled over their heads, and the door flew wide open with a great crash, and in walked two strange women, with red caps on their heads and stout sticks in their hands. And they rushed at the man, and one held his arms while the other beat him till he was nearly dead. “We are the avengers,” they said; “look on us and tremble; for if you ever beat your wife again, we will come and kill you. Kneel down now, and ask her pardon.” And when the poor wretch did so, all trembling with fright, they vanished away. “Now,” said the man, when they were gone, “this house is no fit place for me. I’ll leave it for ever.” So he went his way, and troubled his wife no more. Then the child sat up in the cradle. “Now, mother,” says he, “since that man has gone, I’ll tell you what you are to do. There is a holy well near this that you have never seen, but you will know it by the bunch of green rushes that grows over the mouth. Go there and stoop down and cry out aloud three times, and an old woman will come up, and whatever you want she will give it to you. Only tell no one of the well or of the woman, or evil will come of it.” So the mother promised, and went to the well, and cried out three times; and an old woman came up, and said— “Woman, why dost thou call me?” And the poor mother was afraid, and answered all trembling— “The child sent me, and I pray thee to do me good, and not evil.” “Come down, then, with me into the well,” said the woman, “and have no fear.” So the mother held out her hand, and the other drew her down a flight of stone steps, and then they came to a massive closed door, and the old woman unlocked it and bade her enter. But the mother was afraid, and wept. “Enter,” said the other, “and fear nothing. For this is the gate of the king’s palace, and you will see the queen of the fairies herself, for it is her son you are nursing; and the king, her husband, is with her on his golden throne. And have no fear, only ask no questions, and do as they order.” Then they entered into a beautiful hall, and the floor was of marble, and the walls were of solid gold, and a great light shone over everything, so that the eyes could hardly see for the light. Then they passed on into another room, and at the end of it, on a golden throne, sat the king of the fairies. He was very handsome, and beside him sat his queen, fair and beautiful to look upon, all clad in silver. “This, madam, is the nurse of your son, the young prince,” said the old woman. The queen smiled, and bade the nurse to sit down, and asked her how she came to know of the place. “My son it is who told her,” said the king, looking very angry. But the queen soothed him, and turning to one of her ladies, said— “Bring here the other child.” Then the lady brought in an infant, and placed him in the arms of the mother. “Take him,” said the queen, “he is your own child, that we carried away, for he was so beautiful; and the boy you have at home is mine, a little elfish imp. Still, I want him back, and I have sent a man to bring him here; and you may take your own lovely child home in safety, for the fairy blessings are on him for good. And the man that beat you was not your husband at all, but our messenger, that we sent to change the children. So now go back, and you will find your own true husband at home in your own place, watching and waiting for you by day and by night.” With that the door opened, and the man who had beaten her came in; and the mother trembled and was afraid. But the man laughed, and told her not to fear, but to eat what was set before her, and then to go in peace. So they brought her to another hall, where was a table covered with golden dishes and beautiful flowers, and red wine in crystal cups. “Eat,” they said; “this feast has been prepared for you. As to us, we cannot touch it, for the food has been sprinkled with salt.” So she ate, and drank of the red wine, and never in all her life were so many things set before her that were lovely and good. And, as was right and proper, after dinner was over, she stood up, and folded her hands together to give God thanks. But they stopped her, and drew her down. “Hush!” they said, “that name is not to be named here.” There was an angry murmur in the hall. But just then beautiful music was heard, and singing like the singing of priests, and the poor mother was so enchanted that she fell on her face as one dead. And when she came to herself it was noonday, and she was standing by the door of her own house. And her husband came out and took her by the hand, and brought her in. And there was her child, more beautiful than ever, as handsome as a young prince. “Where have you been all this while?” asked the husband. “It is only an hour since I went away, to look for my child, that the fairies stole from me,” she answered. “An hour!” said the husband; “you have been three years away with your child! And when you were gone, a poor sickly thing was laid in the cradle—not as big as a mushroom, and I knew well it was a fairy changeling. But it so happened that one day, a tailor came by, and stopped to rest; and when he looked hard at the child, the ugly misshapen thing sat up quite straight in the cradle, and called out— “‘Come now, what are you looking at? Give me four straws to play with.’ “And the tailor gave him the straws. And when he got them, the child played and played such sweet music on them as if they were pipes, that all the chairs and tables began to dance; and when he grew tired, he fell back in the cradle and dropped asleep. “‘Now,’ said the tailor, ‘that child is not right; but I’ll tell you what to do. Make down a great fire to begin with.’ “So we made the fire. Then the tailor shut the door, and lifted the unlucky little wretch out of the cradle, and sat it on the fire. And no sooner had the flames caught it, than it shrieked aloud and flew up the chimney and disappeared. And when everything was burned that belonged to it, I knew you would come back to me with our own fine boy. And now let us name the name of God, and make the sign of the Cross over him, and ill luck will never again fall on our house—no more for ever.” So the man and his wife lived happily from that day forth, and the child grew up and prospered, and was beautiful to look at and happy in his life; for the fairy blessings were on him of health, wealth, and prosperity, even as the queen of the fairies had promised to the mother.

The island of Innis-Sark (Shark Island) was a holy and peaceful place in old times; and so quiet that the pigeons used to come and build in a great cave by the sea, and no one disturbed them. And the holy saints of God had a monastery there, to which many people resorted from the mainland, for the prayers of the monks were powerful against sickness or evil, or the malice of an enemy. Amongst others, there came a great and noble prince out of Munster, with his wife and children and their nurse; and they were so pleased with the island that they remained a year or more; for the prince loved fishing, and often brought his wife along with him. One day, while they were both away, the eldest child, a beautiful boy of ten years old, begged his nurse to let him go and see the pigeons’ cave, but she refused. “Your father would be angry,” she cried, “if you went without leave. Wait till he comes home, and see if he will allow you.” So when the prince returned, the boy told him how he longed to see the cave, and the father promised to bring him next day. The morning was beautiful and the wind fair when they set off. But the child soon fell asleep in the boat, and never wakened all the time his father was fishing. The sleep, however, was troubled, and many a time he started and cried aloud. So the prince thought it better to turn the boat and land, and then the boy awoke. After dinner the father called for the child. “Tell me now,” he said, “why was your sleep troubled, so that you cried out bitterly in your dream.” “I dreamed,” said the boy, “that I stood upon a high rock, and at the bottom flowed the sea, but the waves made no noise; and as I looked down I saw fields and trees and beautiful flowers and bright birds in the branches, and I longed to go down and pluck the flowers. Then I heard a voice, saying, ‘Blessed are the souls that come here, for this is heaven.’ “And in an instant I thought I was in the midst of the meadows amongst the birds and the flowers; and a lovely lady, bright as an angel, came up to me, and said, ‘What brings you here, dear child; for none but the dead come here.’ “Then she left me, and I wept for her going; when suddenly all the sky grew black, and a great troop of wild wolves came round me, howling and opening their mouths wide as if to devour me. And I screamed, and tried to run, but I could not move, and the wolves came closer, and I fell down like one dead with fright,63 when, just then, the beautiful lady came again, and took my hand and kissed me. “‘Fear not,’ she said, ‘take these flowers, they come from heaven. And I will bring you to the meadow where they grow.’ “And she lifted me up into the air, but I know nothing more; for then the boat stopped and you lifted me on shore, but my beautiful flowers must have fallen from my hands, for I never saw them more. And this is all my dream; but I would like to have my flowers again, for the lady told me they had the secret that would bring me to heaven.” The prince thought no more of the child’s dream, but went off to fish next day as usual, leaving the boy in the care of his nurse. And again the child begged and prayed her so earnestly to bring him to the pigeons’ cave, that at last she consented; but told him he must not go a step by himself, and she would bring two of the boys of the island to take care of him. So they set off, the child and his little sister with the nurse. And the boy gathered wild flowers for his sister, and ran down to the edge of the cave where the cormorants were swimming; but there was no danger, for the two young islanders were minding him. So the nurse was content, and being weary she fell asleep. And the little sister lay down beside her, and fell asleep likewise. Then the boy called to his companions, the two young islanders, and told them he must catch the cormorants. So away they ran, down the path to the sea, hand in hand, and laughing as they went. Just then a piece of rock loosened and fell beside them, and trying to avoid it they slipped over the edge of the narrow path down a steep place, where there was nothing to hold on by except a large bush, in the middle of the way. They got hold of this, and thought they were now quite safe, but the bush was not strong enough to bear their weight, and it was torn up by the roots. And all three fell straight down into the sea and were drowned. Now, at the sound of the great cry that came up from the waves, the nurse awoke, but saw no one. Then she woke up the little sister. “It is late,” she cried, “they must have gone home. We have slept too long, it is already evening; let us hasten and overtake them, before the prince is back from the fishing.” But when they reached home the prince stood in the doorway. And he was very pale, and weeping. “Where is my brother?” cried the little girl. “You will never see your brother more,” answered the prince. And from that day he never went fishing any more, but grew silent and thoughtful, and was never seen to smile. And in a short time he and his family quitted the island, never to return. But the nurse remained. And some say she became a saint, for64 she was always seen praying and weeping by the entrance to the great sea cave. And one day, when they came to look for her, she lay dead on the rocks. And in her hand she held some beautiful strange flowers freshly gathered, with the dew on them. And no one knew how the flowers came into her dead hand. Only some fishermen told the story of how the night before they had seen a bright fairy child seated on the rocks singing; and he had a red sash tied round his waist, and a golden circlet binding his long yellow hair. And they all knew that he was the prince’s son, who had been drowned in that spot just a twelvemonth before. And the people believe that he had brought the flowers from the spirit-land to the woman, and given them to her as a death sign, and a blessed token from God that her soul would be taken to heaven.

On a lone island by the West Coast there dwelt an old fisherman and his daughter, and the man had power over the water spirits, and he taught his daughter the charms that bind them to obey. One day a boat was driven on the shore, and in it was a young handsome gentleman, half dead from the cold and the wet. The old fisherman brought him home and revived him, and Eileen the daughter nursed and watched him. Naturally the two young people soon fell in love, and the gentleman told the girl he had a beautiful house on the mainland ready for her, with plenty of everything she could desire—silks to wear and gold to spend. So they were betrothed, and the wedding day was fixed. But Dermot, the lover, said he must first cross to the mainland and bring back his friends and relations to the wedding, as many as the boat would hold. Eileen wept and prayed him not to leave, or at least to take her to steer the boat, for she knew there was danger coming, and she alone could have power over the evil spirits and over the waves and the winds. But she dared not tell the secret of the spell to Dermot or it would fail, and the charm be useless for ever after. Dermot, however, only laughed at her fears, for the day was bright and clear, and he scorned all thought of danger. So he put off from the shore, and reached the mainland safely, and filled the boat with his friends to return to the island for the wedding. All went well till they were within sight of the island, when suddenly a fierce gust of wind drove the boat on a rock, and it was upset, and all who were in it perished. Eileen heard the cry of the drowning men as she stood watching on the beach, but could give no help. And she was sore grieved for her lover, and sang a funeral wail for him in Irish, which is still preserved by the people. Then she lay down and died, and the old man, her father, disappeared. And from that day no one has ever ventured to live on the island, for it is haunted by the spirit of Eileen. And the mournful music of her wail is still heard in the nights when the winds are strong and the waves beat upon the rocks where the drowned men lay dead. The words of the song are very plaintive and simple, and may be translated literally— “I a virgin and a widow mourn for my lover. Never more will he kiss me on the lips; The cold wave is his bridal bed, The cold wave is his wedding shroud. O love, my love, had you brought me in the boat My spirit and my spells would have saved from harm. For my power was strong over waves and wind, And the spirits of evil would have feared me. O love, my love, I go to meet you in heaven. I will ask God to let me see your face. If the fair angels give me back my lover, I will not envy the Almighty on His throne.”

In the islands off the West Coast of Ireland the inhabitants are still very primitive in their habits, and cling to their old superstitions with a fanatical fervour that makes it dangerous for any one to transgress or disregard the old customs, usages, and prejudices of the islanders. Curses heavy and deep would fall on the head of the unbelieving stranger who dared to laugh or mock at the old traditions of the ancient pagan creed, whose dogmas are still regarded with a mysterious awe and dread, and held sacred as a revelation from heaven. The chief islands are Aran and Innismore, the latter about nine miles long. The cattle live on the fine grass of the rocks, and turf is brought from the mainland. The views are magnificent of sea and mountain, and the islands contain a greater number of pagan and early Christian monuments than could be found in the same area in any other part of Europe. Some of the Duns or forts include several acres. The walls are cyclopean, about sixteen feet thick and from eighteen to twenty feet high, with steps inside leading to the top. Amongst the monuments are cromlechs, tumuli, and pillar stones, those earliest memorials set up by humanity. The Irish call these huge stones Bothal, or House of God, as the Hebrews called them Bethel, or God’s house. Dun Ængus, the greatest barbaric monument of the kind in existence, stands on a cliff three hundred feet above the sea. It60 is a hundred and forty-two feet in diameter, and has two cyclopean walls fifteen feet thick and eighteen high. The sea front measures a thousand feet, and several acres are included within the outer wall. The roof of the dun is formed of large flag-stones, and the doorway slopes, after the Egyptian fashion, up to three feet in width at the top. A causeway of sharp, upright stones jammed into the ground leads to the entrance. This fort was the great and last stronghold of the Firbolg race, and they long held it as a refuge against the Tuatha-de-Danann invaders, who at that time conquered and took possession of Ireland. All the islands were originally peopled by the Firbolg race many centuries before the Christian era, and the Irish language, as still spoken by the people, is the purest and most ancient of all the dialects of Erin. Afterwards so many Christian saints took up their abode there that the largest of the islands was called Ara-na-naomh (Aran of the Saints), and numerous remains of churches, cells, crosses and stone-roofed oratories, with the ruins of a round tower, testify to the long habitation of the islands by these holy men. There is an old wooden idol on one of the Achil islands called Father Molosh—probably a corruption of Moloch. In former times offerings and sacrifices were made to it, and it was esteemed as the guardian or god of the sacred fire, and held in great reverence, though but a rude semblance of a human head. Many miracles also were performed by the tooth of St. Patrick, which fell from the saint’s mouth one day when he was teaching the alphabet to the new converts. And a shrine was afterwards made for the tooth that was held in the greatest honour by the kings, chiefs, and people of Ireland. The stupendous barbaric monuments of the islands, according to Irish antiquarians, offer the best exposition of early military architecture at present known, and are only equalled by some of those in Greece. There are also many sacred wells, and the whole region is haunted by strange, wild superstitions of fairies and demons and witches; legends filled with a weird and mystic poetry that thrill the soul like a strain of music from spirit voices coming to us from the far-off elder world. The following pathetic tale is a good specimen of these ancient island legends:—

A few months ago, @grayruby posted [SN and the Zen of 1 sat = 1 sat](https://stacker.news/items/550268/r/Undisciplined). Since then, the top of my SN page has read "1 sat = 1 sat". It is quite peaceful. While setting up [random zaps](https://stacker.news/items/632357/r/Undisciplined), I stumbled across another setting that's been giving me a similar sense of peace. I disabled being notified when I receive zaps. After all, I keep insisting that I'm not here for the sats, but rather for the community, so why do I need to see how much and how often people are zapping me. It's much less clutter in the notifications feed and everything in there is now something to potentially respond to. Give it a whirl. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/636336

Happy Discount Day, stackers! What better way to celebrate than to throw down some cheap sats on European Soccer matches? [Freebitcoin](https://freebitco.in/?r=51325722) has about a dozen matches up; from the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga. The odds are good, if you get in early. On a cautionary note, see the last post (https://stacker.news/items/628381/r/Undisciplined) for some concerns about this site. I haven't had any issues so far, but I did withdraw my initial deposit, so I'm only playing with house money going forward. Caveat emptor! originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/636197

I would like to keep track of my bitcoin history and was wondering what people do? Is there an app that gathers what you bought and at what price at and keeps up with what you have? Or is it basically spreadsheet ninja time? I basically want to log my purchases and keep up with how many dollars I've invested. Then I want to see it's value today. But of course every time I buy, it's at a different price, so a tool that's sorts all this would be so cool. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/635837

Overflow: - ทั้งสองกรณีอาจเกิด overflow ได้ถ้าเลื่อนมากเกินไป - สำหรับเลข signed int overflow อาจทำให้เกิดการเปลี่ยนเครื่องหมายโดยไม่คาดคิด 3. Undefined Behavior: - ในบางภาษา เช่น C/C++, การเลื่อนด้วยค่าที่มากกว่าหรือเท่ากับจำนวนบิตของตัวแปรอาจทำให้เกิด Undefined Behavior ได้ ตัวอย่าง: สมมติว่าเรามีเลข A = 5 และต้องการเลื่อนซ้าย 2 ตำแหน่ง ในระบบเลขฐานสอง (สมมติว่าเป็นเลข 8 บิต): A = 5 = 00000101 เมื่อทำ Left Shift 2 ตำแหน่ง (A << 2): ``` 00000101 (A = 5) -------- 00010100 (Result = 20) ``` จะเห็นได้ว่า:: - บิตทั้งหมดถูกเลื่อนไปทางซ้าย 2 ตำแหน่ง - เติม 0 สองตัวทางด้านขวา ผลลัพธ์: 00010100 ในเลขฐานสอง ซึ่งเท่ากับ 20 ในเลขฐานสิบ ตัวอย่าง 2: ``` unsigned int a = 1; // 00000001 in binary int b = 1; // 00000001 in binary // Left shift by 3 unsigned int a_result = a << 3; // 00001000 (8 in decimal) int b_result = b << 3; // 00001000 (8 in decimal) // สำหรับตัวเลขเล็ก ๆ ผลอาจจะไม่ต่างกัน // แต่เมื่อมีตัวเลขที่ใหญ่ขึ้น อาจจะให้ผลตรงกันข้ามแทน: unsigned int large_a = 1 << 31; // 10000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 (2147483648 in decimal) int large_b = 1 << 31; // 10000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 (-2147483648 in decimal, due to two's complement) ``` ในตัวอย่างสุดท้าย เราเห็นความแตกต่าง: - สำหรับ unsigned int, ผลลัพธ์คือเลขบวกที่ใหญ่ที่สุดที่เป็นไปได้ - สำหรับ signed int, ผลลัพธ์คือเลขลบที่น้อยที่สุดที่เป็นไปได้ เนื่องจากบิตซ้ายสุดถูกตีความเป็นเครื่องหมายลบในระบบ two's complement กฎการทำงาน: - เลื่อนบิตทั้งหมดไปทางซ้าย n ตำแหน่ง - เติม 0 ทางด้านขวา n ตัว - บิตที่เลื่อนออกไปทางซ้ายจะหายไป การใช้งาน Left Shift: 1. การคูณด้วยกำลังของ 2: x << n เท่ากับ x * (2^n) เช่น 5 << 2 = 5 * (2^2) = 5 * 4 = 20 2. การสร้างหน้ากาก (mask) สำหรับการตั้งค่าบิต: mask = 1 << n // สร้างหน้ากากที่มีบิตที่ n เป็น 1 และที่เหลือเป็น 0 x |= mask // ตั้งค่าบิตที่ n ของ x เป็น 1 3. การเข้ารหัสข้อมูลหลายบิตในตัวแปรเดียว: encoded = (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b // เก็บค่า RGB ในตัวแปร 32 บิต 4. การทำงานกับบิตแฟล็ก: FLAG_A = 1 << 0 FLAG_B = 1 << 1 FLAG_C = 1 << 2 // ใช้งาน: flags = FLAG_A | FLAG_B Left Shift มีประสิทธิภาพสูงในการคูณด้วยกำลังของ 2 และมักใช้ในการจัดการบิตแฟล็กและการสร้างหน้ากากสำหรับการดำเนินการระดับบิต ## Right Shift (>>): Right Shift มักใช้สัญลักษณ์ >> เป็นการดำเนินการที่เลื่อนบิตทั้งหมดของตัวเลขไปทางขวาตามจำนวนที่กำหนด การทำงานจะแตกต่างกันเล็กน้อยระหว่างเลขที่มีเครื่องหมาย (signed) และไม่มีเครื่องหมาย (unsigned) สำหรับเลข unsigned int (Logical Right Shift): - เลื่อนบิตทั้งหมดไปทางขวา n ตำแหน่ง - เติม 0 ทางด้านซ้าย n ตัว - บิตที่เลื่อนออกไปทางขวาจะหายไป สำหรับเลข signed int (Arithmetic Right Shift): - เลื่อนบิตทั้งหมดไปทางขวา n ตำแหน่ง - เติมด้วยบิตเครื่องหมาย (sign bit) ทางด้านซ้าย n ตัว - บิตที่เลื่อนออกไปทางขวาจะหายไป ตัวอย่าง: สมมติว่าเรามีเลข A = 20 และต้องการเลื่อนขวา 2 ตำแหน่ง ในระบบเลขฐานสอง (สมมติว่าเป็นเลข 8 บิต): A = 20 = 00010100 เมื่อทำ Right Shift 2 ตำแหน่ง (A >> 2): ``` 00010100 (A = 20) -------- 00000101 (Result = 5) ``` จะเห็นได้ว่า:: - บิตทั้งหมดถูกเลื่อนไปทางขวา 2 ตำแหน่ง - เติม 0 สองตัวทางด้านซ้าย (สำหรับเลขไม่มีเครื่องหมาย) ผลลัพธ์: 00000101 ในเลขฐานสอง ซึ่งเท่ากับ 5 ในเลขฐานสิบ การใช้งาน Right Shift: 1. การหารด้วยกำลังของ 2: x >> n เท่ากับ x / (2^n) (ปัดเศษลง) เช่น 20 >> 2 = 20 / (2^2) = 20 / 4 = 5 2. การแยกส่วนของข้อมูลที่ถูกเก็บรวมกัน: r = (rgb >> 16) & 0xFF // แยกค่าสีแดงจาก RGB 24 บิต g = (rgb >> 8) & 0xFF // แยกค่าสีเขียว b = rgb & 0xFF // แยกค่าสีน้ำเงิน 3. การตรวจสอบเครื่องหมายของตัวเลข: sign = x >> 31 // สำหรับตัวแปร 32 บิต, จะได้ 0 สำหรับบวก และ -1 สำหรับลบ 4. การทำ rounded division: (x + (1 << (n-1))) >> n // หารด้วย 2^n และปัดเศษ ข้อควรระวัง: - ใน Java, >> เป็น arithmetic shift สำหรับ int และ long, ส่วน >>> เป็น logical shift - ในภาษาอื่นๆ เช่น C/C++, การทำงานของ >> กับเลขติดลบอาจแตกต่างกันไปตาม Compiler Right Shift มีประสิทธิภาพสูงในการหารด้วยกำลังของ 2 และมักใช้ในการจัดการข้อมูลที่ถูกเก็บรวมกันในรูปแบบบิต หากเปรียบกับ Right Shift แม้ว่าการทำงานพื้นฐานของ Left Shift จะเหมือนกันสำหรับทั้งเลข signed int และ unsigned int แต่การตีความผลลัพธ์และผลกระทบต่อเครื่องหมาย(sign bit)อาจแตกต่างกัน ดังนั้นจึงควรระมัดระวังเมื่อใช้ Left Shift กับเลขที่มี signed int โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเลื่อนด้วยค่าที่สูงมาก ๆ ## Conclusion #### ลักษณะเด่นของ Bitwise Operations: - ประสิทธิภาพสูง: ทำงานเร็วกว่าการคำนวณปกติ - ประหยัดหน่วยความจำ: จัดเก็บข้อมูลหลายอย่างในตัวแปรเดียว - ใช้ในงานระดับต่ำ: การทำงานกับฮาร์ดแวร์, ระบบปฏิบัติการ - การเข้ารหัส: ใช้ในอัลกอริทึมการเข้ารหัสและบีบอัดข้อมูล - การจัดการแฟล็ก: ใช้ในการตั้งค่าและตรวจสอบสถานะต่างๆ #### การใช้งานทั่วไป: - จัดการสิทธิ์และการอนุญาตในระบบไฟล์ - การเข้ารหัสและถอดรหัสข้อมูล - การบีบอัดข้อมูล - การทำงานกับพิกเซลในการประมวลผลภาพ - การจัดการโปรโตคอลเครือข่าย - การทำงานกับ register ใน Embedded system #### ข้อควรระวัง: - ต้องระมัดระวังเรื่องขนาดของข้อมูล (8, 16, 32, 64 บิต) - ความแตกต่างระหว่างเลขมี signed int และ unsigned int - ความแตกต่างของการทำงานในแต่ละภาษาโปรแกรม **unsigned int คือตัวเลขเป็นบวกเสมอ signed int สามารถมีค่าเป็นลบได้ #siamstr #Blog

The idea for permanently editable posts pops up every so often. [Here's](https://stacker.news/items/306665/r/Undisciplined) @elvismercury's post about it. (Gosh, it sure would be nice if he came back, wouldn't it?) I was thinking about a variant of that idea today. Could we use wiki-style posts? I'm thinking about some of the territories, like ~bitcoin_beginners, that want to have evergreen resource posts. It would be nice to be able to have our "official" post for certain topics that can be updated by stackers and plebs other than the OP. I'm not sure exactly what the price and equity mechanisms should be, but it seems like there's something here. It would obviously cost sats to make edits and I'm thinking it should cost more sats the more substantial your edits are. Then your revenue share on the post would be something like the share of sats you've put into the post (posting fee + all edit fees). This would probably need to come after making rewards more compatible with zapping evergreen content. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/635153

I was complaining about there not being any good hummus at our local stores: i.e. made with olive oil, rather than seed oils. My wife tossed a bunch of ingredients into the food processor (no recipe, no measuring) and out came amazing hummus. Now, I'm trying to talk her into commercializing it for farmers' markets. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/635019

Below I list steps you can take that will result in universal uptake: **Stop Calling Them “Vaccine Hesitant”** If you were trying to persuade a vegan to up his B-12 intake by eating meat, you wouldn’t get far by labeling him “steak hesitant.” “Oh, I see, you’re just ‘steak hesitant’ must be that hippie propaganda you’re reading. Steak hesitant people like you…” Insulting people’s choices won’t get you anywhere. Try, “I see you don’t like being coerced to take medicine via threats to your basic rights and ability to earn a livelihood, that’s understandable. Let me persuade you why getting an mRNA jab is a good _medical_ choice.” And then you’ll have to make your case, which, at the moment is not especially strong (particularly with respect to healthy, younger people, many of whom have already had covid), but that brings us to… **Lobby For More Aggressive Gain Of Function Research** Frankly, the Wuhan Lab didn’t do its best work. Covid is deadly for people with pre-existing conditions, metabolic disorders and [the elderly](https://twitter.com/justin_hart/status/1448162678556356610/photo/1), but it’s insufficiently so to kill many healthy people under 70. The overall [IFR is about 0.2 percent, with the vast majority of that group either old or sick](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33716331/). To incentivize independent-minded younger people the next lab leak needs to be a far more lethal strain. If we can get one as contagious as covid, but with an equal opportunity IFR above 15 percent, now we’re cooking with gas. When your 30-year old cousin, both your parents, several of your work colleagues, Kyrie Irving, Aaron Rodgers, Novak Djokovic, 25 members of Congress and a few cabinet members are dead, [that will get their attention](https://twitter.com/MarySmi10379520/status/1416232217840287744?s=20&t=cCQx6U1cikL0KOFacWRT0g). **Commission Vaccines From New Companies** While many who decline the mRNA shot are no doubt victims of disinformation — believing theories that government and large pharmaceutical companies are conspiring to enrich themselves first and foremost without proper regard for safety — it would be harder for them to connect those dots if you used more scrupulous providers. For example, it’s less than ideal that Johnson and Johnson just paid a [settlement of five billion dollars](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/nevada-join-26-billion-opioid-settlement-with-jj-drug-distributors-2022-01-04/) for their part in the opioid crisis and [Pfizer settled for 2.3 billion](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-09-03/pfizer-fine-should-act-as-deterrent/1417140) for marketing a drug as a pain killer that even the rubber-stamping FDA refused to approve for that purpose, while allegedly paying kickbacks to doctors to prescribe it. It was apparently the fourth settlement for Pfizer since 2002, and that excludes the experimental drug anti-meningitis drug, Trovan [that killed 11 children](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-14493277) and disabled dozens more in 1996. It’s insane to think that means anything about these miracle products in 2022, the motive for which was so obviously public health and ending the pandemic, but you have to admit it’s not a great look. **Keep Vaccine Companies On The Hook For Adverse Events** There was never a need to [waive liability](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html) for vaccine makers for adverse effects because everyone knows the mRNA shot is safe and effective. Yes, you hear [anecdotal](https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?TABLE=ON&GROUP1=CAT&EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID19&VAXTYPES=COVID-19) [accounts](https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/news/pfizer-document-concedes-that-there-is-a-large-increase-in-types-of-adverse-event-reaction-to-its-vaccine/) of heart problems and strokes, but both have always been [common](https://people.com/health/blood-clots-like-hailey-biebers-are-happening-in-younger-and-younger-people/) in [young people](https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/03/14/1086345393/strokes-young-people-hailey-bieber). Growing up, a few of my friends undoubtedly had heart attacks and strokes in grade school, though they were probably just under-diagnosed back then. I understand why the companies want to waive liability — it’s wrong to require legal accountability when these heroes are busy saving so many lives, but there’s no need for it when you have such a safe product. It just feeds unfounded suspicion. **Create A Vaccine That Stops The Spread** Obviously, we know vaccines don’t have to stop the spread entirely to be effective. Look up the [definition of vaccine](https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1435606845926871041?s=20&t=5EIgymJ3ocpwtqFQyTZ9Sw) — nowhere does it list that as a requirement. But if it actually [stopped transmission in some material way](https://twitter.com/lienomail/status/1467394708594954242/photo/1), you’d be in a better position to argue for its uptake, citing the benefit it might have for the people around them. Now, people are just trying the “you’re taking up an ICU bed” angle, which doesn’t make much sense to young, healthy people, barring a far deadlier strain. **Permit Useless Early Treatments** One big mistake that was made was [banning and discouraging](https://brownstone.org/articles/early-outpatient-treatment-for-covid-19-the-evidence/) phony, yet harmless treatments like Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and even Vitamin D. All that did was make people think they worked, and feed [false conspiracy theories](https://www.biznews.com/thought-leaders/2021/05/12/mailbox-ivermectin) that they were funneling people toward the vaccine. Useless treatments should be encouraged so anyone who knows people who tried them can see how little good they did. **Don’t Bribe People** I love donuts as much as the next person with metabolic syndrome, but giving people [food, money and even weed](https://fortune.com/2021/03/23/covid-vaccine-freebies-card-cdc-krispy-kreme-donuts-free-weed-marijuana-cannabis-food-uber-lyft-rides-running-list-discounts/) just makes you look desperate. If you want to make something seem enticing, you’ve got to market it as something I’m lucky to get, not something you’re begging me to take. **Choose Better Spokespeople** I know Bill Gates is one of the [biggest investors in the space](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/23/bill-gates-turns-10-billion-into-200-billion-worth-of-economic-benefit.html), but is it really necessary to have someone, who was [paling around with](https://www.wsj.com/articles/melinda-gates-was-meeting-with-divorce-lawyers-since-2019-to-end-marriage-with-bill-gates-11620579924) convicted underage sex offender Jeffery Epstein, as your go-to vaccine promoter? **Amend The US Constitution And Nuremberg Code** It’s annoying we have these anachronistic documents that didn’t contemplate the spread of a deadly pandemic, but unfortunately, The [Fourth Amendment](https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/fourth_amendment) requiring people to be secure in their “persons,” and the [Nuremberg Code](https://research.unc.edu/human-research-ethics/resources/ccm3_019064/) which requires consent for medical procedures are still The Supreme Law Of The Land, and International Law, respectively. A little carve-out saying, “unless there’s a deadly pandemic” would go a long way toward granting the requisite legal authority. **Stiffer Consequences For Those Who Refuse** Let’s be honest. There’s nothing more important than public health, and getting everyone vaccinated is the optimal way to achieve that aim. It’s unfortunate it would have to come to this, but we can’t let the selfish actions of a few imperil the good of the many who do as instructed. Actions have consequences! If the first nine steps are ineffective, you could imprison, torture or simply exterminate those who decline this medical option, something for which there is historical precedent in the last century.  I can assure you these 10 steps will result in 100 percent uptake. Hopefully it doesn’t come to step 10, but you have to ask yourself, do you care about preserving the rights of the privileged few, or are you willing to do what it takes for public health and the greater good of society? I hope the answer is as clear for you as it is for me.

In the realm of economic theory and practice, few topics generate as much debate as centralized economic planning. Proponents argue that it allows for coordinated and equitable allocation of resources, while critics highlight its inefficiencies and systemic flaws. I just want to look into the inherent shortcomings of centralized economic planning, focusing on the impossibility of aggregating and processing the vast amount of information required to make efficient decisions. Through a structured exploration of key points and real-world examples, we will look at why centralized planning often fails to achieve its intended goals. --- #### **The Mirage of Perfect Planning** Imagine a world where a single entity could flawlessly dictate the allocation of resources, ensuring optimal outcomes for all. While this vision of centralized economic planning might seem appealing, it is fundamentally unattainable. The sheer complexity and dynamic nature of economies render such centralized control impractical. This essay critiques centralized economic planning by examining its fundamental inefficiencies and the impossibility of handling the immense information required for effective decision-making.  #### **The Information Problem: A Fundamental Challenge** One of the central critiques of economic planning is the information problem, famously articulated by economist Friedrich Hayek. Hayek argued that no central authority could ever possess the dispersed and tacit knowledge held by individuals in a free market. **Key Points:** 1. **Dispersed Knowledge:** - In a market economy, knowledge is spread across countless individuals who possess unique information about their specific circumstances. Central planners cannot effectively gather and utilize this dispersed knowledge. - *Example:* A farmer in a remote village understands local soil conditions and market needs better than a distant bureaucrat. 2. **Dynamic and Ever-Changing Data:** - Economic data is constantly evolving, making it impossible for central planners to keep pace with real-time changes. This lag results in outdated or inaccurate decisions. - *During The Times Of The Soviet Era:* During the Soviet era, planners often relied on outdated production data, leading to shortages and surpluses.  #### **Incentive Structures and Innovation: The Human Element** Centralized planning also struggles with creating appropriate incentives for innovation and efficiency. Without the profit motive and competition, individuals and firms lack the drive to innovate and improve productivity. **Key Points:** 1. **Lack of Profit Motive:** - In centrally planned economies, the absence of profit incentives dampens entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. Entrepreneurs in a free market are motivated by the potential for profit, driving technological advancement and economic growth. - *All authoritative structures struggle for the popular narrative of freedom, but are the controllers of pro-censorship themselves:* The technological stagnation in centrally planned economies versus the rapid innovation seen in market economies like the United States. 2. **Bureaucratic Inefficiencies:** - Centralized planning often leads to cumbersome bureaucracies that stifle creativity and efficiency. Decisions are slowed by red tape, and innovative ideas are frequently ignored. - *Anecdote:* The inefficiencies of the bureaucratic system in the former Eastern Bloc countries often resulted in suboptimal production and resource allocation.  #### **Real-World Failures: Lessons from History** History provides numerous examples of the failures of centralized economic planning. These examples highlight the practical difficulties and negative outcomes associated with trying to control complex economies from the top down. **Key Examples:** 1. **The Soviet Union:** - The collapse of the Soviet economy is a poignant example of the failures of central planning. Chronic shortages, lack of consumer goods, and inefficiencies plagued the system until its eventual collapse. -  2. **Maoist China:** - During the Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong's attempts at rapid industrialization and agricultural collectivization led to one of the deadliest famines in history. - [*Visual: Historical photograph depicting the effects of the Great Leap Forward.*](https://image.nostr.build/ce8b682b8638419977e68acccd27fccff055d695ebe4d9b15c15cf6903e46d00.jpg) #### **The Case for Decentralized Economies** Centralized economic planning is fundamentally flawed due to the impossibility of aggregating and processing the vast amount of information required for efficient decision-making. The dispersed knowledge of individuals, coupled with the dynamic nature of economic data, renders central planning ineffective. Moreover, the lack of appropriate incentives for innovation and efficiency further hampers centrally planned economies. History has shown us the dire consequences of attempting to control complex economies from the top down. As we move forward, embracing decentralized economic systems that leverage the power of individual choice and market mechanisms will be crucial for fostering innovation, efficiency, and economic prosperity.

Trump's complete failure to put a dent in the administrative state led many to conclude that it's a hopeless effort. Even Vivek is being too clever by half with the schemes he's concocting. The main hurdle in significantly scaling down the Federal Government is that it's very difficult to fire anyone. I think most of the employees are unionized and they have all sorts of protections, regardless. The easiest path is not to fire people, it's to make them voluntarily quit. A few years ago, Trump relocated the USDA to Kansas City. This was big news amongst economists, because so many work for the USDA. The vast majority of USDA economists quit, rather than move to Kansas City. I imagine that was also the case for other USDA employees. If Trump had been smart, he would have taken the opportunity to cut the USDA personnel budget. That would have stopped them from staffing back up, which I imagine they've done by now. So, the easy to implement plan for draining the swamp is to just move all of the agencies out of DC and into places where snobby elites don't want to live. Then, after the mass resignations, cap the personnel budgets at much lower levels. There are added governance benefits like making it more difficult to lobby and reducing costs per worker. Another option that would likely cause mass resignations would be to make all positions remote and then take away cost of living adjustments. Right now, government employees get paid more for living in expensive places. If they were remote, then there's no rationale for keeping that, since they could live in a less expensive place. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/628955

Existem sistemas integrados de decisões coletivas que chaveiam os destinos de povos, em interno ao sistema há uma vasta rede de discursos e escolhas colaterais que geram variantes sobre os futuros dos indivíduos, que mesmo sobre interindependência ainda estão dentro de uma lógica superior qual rege as sociedades e civilizações humanas. No geral é inevitável que o ser não isolado em sua própria realidade, assim então desperto e não imerso para a optica geral coletiva , em oposição à óptica singular do indivíduo — desperto sobre sua realidade e imerso na Janela de Overton — se vê como parte do processo, porém erroneamente se vê como sujeito da ação que rege as decisões, não como o que de fato é: uma ferramenta dos sujeitos reais da ação. O eleitor é o número, a eleição é o espetáculo, os políticos são os atores e quem o planeja são os "Senhores", dessa forma explicitamos o fim do espetáculo. Sobretudo, há um padrão na literatura universal: a vilania está sempre em posição de poder, isso pois destaca a ameaça por via da força, e quem a detém é geralmente alguém que possui as ferramentas políticas para tal, sejam elas lícitas ou ilícitas, sejam eles presentes no estamento burocrático ou não, porém há o segundo padrão: a vilania sempre busca a ascenção por via da subversão. É comum que essa subversão passe pela transição do lícito pelo ilícito, motivo pelo qual os ditadores possuem relações com máfias, grupos narcoterroristas, facções terroristas e etc. Por além do segundo padrão, há o terceiro: o poder oculto. Entre esses podemos traçar um paralelo entre o recém "reeleito" Nicolás Maduro e o *Deep State* americano, e assim podemos explicitar, além do sucesso de um deus, a verdadeira vitória da "democracia". A priori a representação do arquétipo vilanesco de Anticristo comumente dá sua face por cima de uma escada em obras de ficção, assim ocorre em referência à simbologia esotérica da ascenção espiritual, isso em alto grau de elavação, porém por um poder imanente. No presente momento político dos povos o Anticristo está sobre o topo das escadas tal como nas ficções, lá se apresenta no topo de sua suposta "glória" para expor, de alto e bom tom, quem realmente manda e desmanda na ordem dos eventos, e de onde esse poder emana, no caso, do deus em oculto por de trás da grande cortina violeta, qual vemos como "democracia". Em uma subversão lógica, desconstruindo os valores universais católicos-cristãos quais organizaram o Ocidente, o Anticristo não é um "vilão", mas sim um herói do destino dos povos, trata-se do libertador, do homem que unirá tudo e todos e consolidará o avanço na luta contra Deus, ou então, contra o demiurgo, portanto, esse Anticristo há de herdar as vontades de Azazel e a manifestação do mal sobre a humanidade, qual gerou a nós o anátema. A modernidade nos ensinou a condenar Deus por decorrência do anátema, nos ensina que o pecado é o caminho da liberdade, e assim nos incentiva à negá-lo, primeiro como Deus e segundo como Verdade, assim nos ensina também que Cristo é um problema a ser superado e que todos os elementos que inibem a força revolucionária coletivista na derrubada da autoridade do Deus trinitário cristão-católico devem ser destruidos, em paralelo preza-se pelo levantamento de novos deuses, assim saímos de um período de destruição para adentrarmos o levantamento de novas divindades, essas quais estão presentes nos projetos de Estado.  De forma prática, foi visto ontem, no dia 28 de julho, a vitória da "democracia" na eleição fraudada de Nicolás Maduro, essa comemorada por dois grupos em específico: os socialistas ortodoxos, como a turma do PCO & amigos, e os "socialistas de direita", como os adeptos do dugnismo pró-eurasiano, adeptos esses quais recebem apelidos de "naCHIoNAlistas" e "russófilos", em exemplo o grupo Nova Resistência. O processo eleitoral foi efetuado estrategicamente para **1-** mostrar ao povo que a lei não importa mais, o que importa é a ordem, assim para gerar imponência sobre a população e fazê-la entender que ou se é venezuelano e está com Maduro ou está convidado a se retirar do país pois a opinião de massas não destruirá mais o poder instituido pelos bolivarianistas e pelo narcotráfico, e **2-** gerar falsas esperanças aos opositores, que sem cautela e em histeria usaram da voz para atacar o *soberano* da política venezuelana crendo piamente na lisura e chance de vitória, não somente destinado a expor a inescrupulosidade dos liberais antichavistas, como dos simpatizantes internacionais ao fim do regime ditatorial de Nicolás Maduro. O fato é que a Venezuela, a partir dessas eleições, se torna um caso indenfensável para aqueles que buscam conciliar o socialismo com a democracia, pois trata-se de um Estado de exceção qual a lei não possui autoridade frente aos planos e projetos políticos, que preponderam em avanço sem freios, a defesa do regime de Maduro está nas mãos dos dois grupos anteriormente citados, compostos por uma nata bastante duvidável das bolhas dentro das guerrilhas informacionais no universo das propagandas políticas massivas, e que é tão inescrupulosa como a porção caricata da suposta "direita latino-americana", essa ecumênica, laical, maçônica e liberal. Ocorre que esses citados já não buscam o mantra da democracia para proteger seus ideais, o oposto, partindo deles há a defesa do fim do modelo democrático, o que por vez não é errado, desde que tal bandeira não seja usada para defesa de tiranos e de tiranias, o que é o caso presente. Dos caminhos presentes para a permanência da posição de defesa do regime de Maduro há mais um, além da defesa do fim das democracias, e é a defesa da democracia "herdada", que na prática é o uso da mentira para induzir as massas a crerem que o desejo do povo se faz por uma consquência progressiva e histórica da manifestação dos anseios populares, independentemente da resposta popular nas urnas, que o desejo das gerações passadas era por uma Venezuela socialista, esses desejos foram transmitidos ao regime legal e democrático de Chavez, que foi procedido por seu herdeiro, Maduro, e que a partir disso é legítimo a perpetuação do poder político de Maduro independente dos desejos populares presentes das "massas alienadas". O problema dessa posição é a crença de que as posições de aceitação e rejeição são imutáveis e que os desejos são eternos, que os povos não se tranformam racionalmente e que a estrutura política é uma força regente dos povos de forma ampla, como se da política viessem os avanços técnicos, tecnológicos, de pensamento, de conhecimento, de saberes, moral, ético, cultural e etc., ou que inexistem as decadências civilizacionais e culturais, e claro, se houver legitimidade na democracia herdada então haveria legitimidade na consolidação dos chauvinismos do século XX em retorno ao século XXI, amplamente rejeitados hoje pela sociedade civil, anacronicamente, trata-se então de um apelo desesperador por parte de uns, algo insustentável, logo àquele que se por em defesa da democracia "herdada" se colocará, mais cedo ou mais tarde, em defesa do fim das democracias. Assim, em paralelo, outro anticristo se mostra presente no topo das escadas, esse menos personalista, trata-se do poder oculto norte-americano, que está em via de **1-** permitir a vitória de Donald Trump e ver suas partes serem perseguidas, presas, ou banidas do país, e **2-** manipular os resultados para **vencer** na marra, algo possível. Se ocorrida a primeira possibilidade de evento o *deep state* americano terá uma luta mais árdua contra seu presente inimigo, os esforços serão maiores para manter a estabilidade política frente a decadência dos Estados Unidos na nova configuração global das esferas de poder e influência no mundo, a estabilidade deverá se tornar instabilidade para que haja chances de sobrevivência do *deep state* e uma possível destruição completa da direita, assim consolidando o poder que guiará a construção de uma nova civilização sobre a findada "cultura americana", será o fim do processo dialético que move a política repúblicana nas "democracias", issso em território americano, pois do oposto o processo dialético então referido se delonga. Na segunda possibilidade os EUA decreta seu fim em benefício do avanço exponencial do poder das elites financistas, o povo americano será o povo sacrificado para a consolidação de um novo futuro para os povos do mundo, pois esses serão responsáveis infelizes pelo financiamento de conflitos mundo a fora de forma mais vil e truculenta, visando manter ainda forte o poder do *deep state* por via da corrupção, assim a guerra ao dinheiro será mantida, sem retorno.  Quando o anticristo descer as escadas estaremos em outro cenário, então entenderemos o que é um "plano" muito bem arquitetado, e então perceberemos que a democracia não é um deus falho, pelo contrário, a democracia liberal é um deus que obteve sucesso em seu dever de consolidar a tirania sofisticada e oculta por via da grande mentira democrática. O poder nunca se tratou de capacidade de mover as massas, mas sim do domínio sobre a subversão da realidade, para que então esteja dentro da guerra pela destruição da criatura e tenha seu espaço concedido numa elite burocrática ou financeira, isso é possível se o soberano detém a imprensa e o poder monetário (sobre a moeda nacional) nas mãos. A movimentação processual desses sistemas integrados de decisões sobre os rumos dos povos tenderão a levar a humanidade para uma autodestruição, as civilizações serão atacadas para o avanço de um mundo primeiro multipolar para que depois opere conforme os sonhos da "República Universal", no momento aqueles que acreditam na lisura, nas leis e na suposta benevolência dos Estados nacionais para guiar os povos à liberdade são partes do problema, são financiadores contumazes da destruição e da luta contra Deus, uma vez que abraçam as mentiras para defender o poder estatal de forma análoga ao poder divino. Para esses, defender um projeto, um plano, um futuro, é mais importante do que aceitar a Verdade revelada, é claro, esses quais me refiro estão sobre o lado das massas, pois a violência contra Deus passa a preponderar no lado daqueles que estão dentre as forças regentes, nesse caso sem cogitar em pedir perdão à Deus pelas ofensas e pelas blasfêmias.

This is a question I mull over occasionally. We hear about "toxic masculinity" all the time and I think it's a perfectly easy concept to grasp. That implies there's a healthy masculinity, but we don't hear about that nearly as often. This topic popped into my head while watching the Trump assassination attempt video. My eyes were drawn to the men in the background who dove to cover their loved ones. In particular, I noticed one man who was apparently there with his kid and I could feel his terror as he covered his kid with his body until well after the shots stopped. It's hard to convey to those without kids how resonant that imagery is. Then we find out that the man who died, Corey Comperatore, was shielding his family with his body. In my book, that's as masculine as it gets and that man is as big of a hero as anyone can be. I was listening to Part of the Problem earlier today and they were talking about masculinity. Dave was making fun of the lame superficial internet version that's embodied by Andrew Tate. His take was that masculinity boils down to "protection and provision". They also discussed the importance of being "peaceful, but not harmless" and how being harmless is essentially the least masculine trait. At the heart of this, there's a recognition that ultimately we are more expendable than our loved ones and we need to be able to act on that. What do you all think? I'm eager to hear your thoughts. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/628725

**LISBON RECOMMENDATIONS** **WHERE TO STAY:** **Sublime Lisbon** - the luxurious Lisbon outpost of the Comporta gem, just off of the pleasant Parque Eduardo VII in the Avenidas Novas/Campolide part of town **The Ivens** - don’t be fooled by it being a Marriott (they’re nicer in Europe!), this Graça hotel is beautiful and the bar alone is worth the stay **Memmo Principe Real** - hip boutique hotel with a view across the city, and right in the heart of the best shopping district **Hotel das Amoreiras** - new addition to the luxury boutique options, in one of the most tranquil squares in Lisbon **Ritz Four Seasons** - bizarrely the two are combined in Lisbon, and though it could use an update, it provides the chains’ usual high class ambience **Janelas Verdes** - an artsy, authentic hotel in a beautiful part of Santos **Bairro Alto Hotel** - recently remodeled, always one of the best–and a very central (though very touristy) location. Also with an excellent restaurant. **1908** - small boutique option right across from Ramiro in a quickly gentrifying part of town (Intendente) **Torel Palace** - Lisbon outpost of an elegant Porto hotel group, recently remodeled and with a new wing of suites. Beautiful view from the outdoor terrace, where you can also eat. **WHAT TO DO:** -Walk up through Alfama (warning: very steep!) on the way up to the Castelo São Jorge - if you go early enough you might be able to get into the castle but if the line is ridiculously long you can skip actually going in. -Alternatively, you can hire a tuk tuk to take you all around the old neighborhoods. -Walk down Liberdade from Marques de Pombal, then up to Principe Real, along Dom Pedro V and through the Jardim and to the overlook for a good view. -Walk from Principe Real over the hill down into the Praça das Flores then to Sao Bento. -Martim Moniz square - take in the action (sometimes there are festivals here on weekends) and visit the all-Asian food court and market. -Ride the 28 tram from its origin in Campo de Ourique all the way through the city. This is super touristy but also fun. But hold on to your bag! -Go to the Miradouro de Santa Catarina around sunset, where there will be people playing music, hanging out, drinking, etc. There’s a nice outdoor bar/cafe up there as well. -Walk up the steep hill to the Graça miradouro for a great view of the city and a character-filled walk with some nice shops. -Visit the Azulejos Museum and then continue east to the Beato neighborhood where you can walk around and do a bit of shopping. -Spend an hour or so in the Jardim da Estrela, one of the loveliest parks in Lisbon - get a coffee at the Gengibre Quiosque and watch the Portuguese go by with their dogs and babies. -Walk through the Time Out Market, which is worth a stop though better at an off-hour, as it tends to get very, very crowded. But fun to see, and you can do a little shopping at the small A Vida Portuguesa “pop up” there. You can also hang out in the little park in front of it, which has a pleasant kiosk. -Hit the sites in Belem (with a guide would be better - or on the hop on/hop off bus). -Can also combine the Belem sightseeing with a visit to Alcantara, and the LX Factory, a series of old warehouses that have been converted to artisan shops & restaurants. -Hire a small boat with a driver just for yourselves (or get on one of the ones open to the public) to cruise around the harbor and the river at sunset. -Uber across the bridge to the Costa Caparica for a beach lunch (Ibiza vibes) at one of the right-in-the-sand restaurants (see list below) and a dip in the sea (warning: freezing!). -Sintra tour for the day - get a driver/guide to take you around to the palaces (favorite, more in-the-know one: Monserrate) and have lunch over the hill in Colares at Adraga or Bar do Fundo. -Colares hike - park or get dropped off at Azenhas do Mar (small lot or along the road) and begin the 45+ minute hike to Praia do Magoito - one of the most scenic hikes in Europe and always very uncrowded. -Cascais day trip - can take the train from Cais do Sodre, or an uber. Nice old town with lots of shops, a nice harbor and small beach, as well as hiking in Guincho not far beyond. _**For kids**_ -Aquarium/Natural Science Museum/ride tram over the water - all in Parque das Nações area -Natural Science Museum/botanical gardens in Principe Real -Eduardo VII park/playground with zipline -Quantum Park trampoline park (but brutal for adults!) -Queluz Palace and grounds **WHERE TO SHOP:** **Along Av. Liberdade** - a lot of the luxury chains (that you can get in all big cities though!) **+351** - for more authentic Lisbon designer clothing **Embaixada** - several Portuguese brands and a couple restaurants in one beautiful old building **Loja Real** - a well curated mish-mash of Portuguese products on the same strip as Embaixada Several other small shops along **Dom Pedro V** in Principe Real **A Vida Portuguesa** - a wide selection of highly authentic Portuguese artisan products including the best textiles and ceramics. Go to the Intendente location for the largest selection. Highly recommended, especially for your gift shopping. **Garrafeira Nacional** - many locations - the best selection of Portuguese wines and can help you ship. **D’Olival** - beautiful all-olive oil shop on the best shopping street in the Santa Catarina area **Claus Porto** - a stunning shop featuring Portugal’s most famous soap and skin care product brand **Bettina Coralo** - for coffee and chocolate - a gem of a place in Principe Real. Try their hot chocolate! **Loja das Conservas** - the best place to pick up the perfect Portuguese gift: tins of sardines and other fish, most with stunning art deco designs on the top of the tins. **WINING AND DINING:** **A few general tips on eating out** -You need reservations at most places, especially the more formal ones. -Almost all restaurants will bring you a plate of olives and bread (or cheese or other little finger foods) and add it to the bill in the end. If you don’t want it, you can ask them to take it back or just leave it untouched. -Sunday is a bad day to eat out. Everything is closed so make sure to plan accordingly –choices can be limited. Monday is not as bad but can also be a bit tough. -Tipping - not customary among Portuguese, but it’s a nice gesture especially in the higher end places. 5-10% of the bill is good. **Timing** When dining out in Portugal, it’s important to be aware of the traditional mealtimes: “breakfast” is not really a part of the dining culture outside of the hotels, and lunch is the principal meal. Some restaurants may close earlier or later in smaller towns, and tracking down something to eat either before or after hours could become a challenge. Your best bet? Stick to the traditional times, and think about having a few snacks on hand for those in-between times when you might feel a bit peckish.  **8-10 am:** Have a coffee and a small pastry, either at home or in a café – or at one of the lovely _quiosques_ in a park or well-frequented square. If out of the house, the following Portuguese words may come in handy: - _**Bica or café/cafezinho**_ - a short black (a small cup of espresso, no milk) - _**Café pingado**_ - mostly espresso with a splash of milk - _**Abatanado**_ - americano (coffee and water) - _**pingado**_ - americano with a splash of milk - _**Meia de leite**_ - equal parts espresso and milk - _**Galão**_ - more milk than espresso **12:30-3 pm:** Have lunch (_almoço_); this is typically the biggest meal of the day. It’s always worth seeking out a good _menú do día_, which for a great price (usually under €20), gets you a starter, a main, and dessert and/or coffee; however this is less common here than in Spain or France – instead you may only see _pratos do dia_(specials of the day). **4-6 pm:** Have your afternoon snack, which is called a _lanche_. Typical _lanches _are some sort of sweet bread or pastry. You might go for a slice of _bolo de laranja_ (orange cake), or you might do as many, many Portuguese do and order the iconic _**pastel de nata**_ (which can also be ordered as your breakfast pastry – it just goes perfectly with coffee!). It seems it’s not even possible to visit Portugal without trying one of these small egg custard tarts, ideally served warm and with cinnamon sprinkled on top. All these snacks are usually accompanied by a coffee or occasionally orange juice. However, if you prefer beer in the afternoon, you may instead opt for a refreshing _cerveja_ – you’ll be asked to choose the brand (Sagres or Super Bock, unless you’re lucky to be at a place that carries one of the many delicious artisanal beers), and the size: - _**Lambreta**_––15 cl beer - _**Imperial**_--20 cl beer (in Lisbon – if in Porto ask for a _**Fino**_) - _**Caneca**_--50 cl beer - _**Girafa**_--1 liter beer (not for the faint of heart!) And if you’re drinking, you may want something a bit more substantial, like an _empada_, a pastry filled with chicken or pork meat. But you will almost always be served a small dish of Portugal’s delightful bar snack, _tremoços_ (lupini beans in English), which should be eaten by biting a small tear in the skin with your teeth and “popping” the bean directly into your mouth, but can also be eaten with the skin on. It’s a Portuguese tradition that should not be missed, along with a specifically_ Lisboeta_ (the name for people from Lisbon) delicacy: _caracóis_ (snails, but not the French kind, a much smaller specimen eaten off a plate with an ice cold beer during summer months). **7:30 pm and on:** Have dinner (_jantar_), which may be a smaller meal if you’ve eaten a giant lunch (as you should!). This meal often consists of shared small plates to start and one main course each (often pork or beef; seafood if on the coast). **Types of Eateries:** Where there’s good wine, there’s good food. And with such quality wines, Portugal’s diverse and flavorful cuisine is certainly an ideal backdrop to any wine trip. You’ll find a variety of dining options that rival the variety of the country’s grapes and styles, from traditional _tascas_ to Michelin-starred restaurants. Whether you spring for the Michelin or keep it casual, Portugal’s eclectic mix of both Atlantic and Mediterranean-style dishes won’t leave you disappointed. Dining establishments in Portugal can be broken down according to the feel of the place – here is a general guide. _**The pasteleria/padaria**_ More of a breakfast-time eatery, the _**pasteleria**_ is nonetheless an important piece of Portuguese society all day long. Many afternoons you will find tables of Portuguese people enjoying a sweet treat and a coffee. Here the words _fabrico próprio_ (made on the premises) signify quality and passion for what they do. And each region has its own specialty pastry: experience the enchantment of _pastéis de Santa Clara_, delicate puff pastry filled with almond cream and sprinkled with powdered sugar, or opt for a _travesseiro de Sintra_, a light phyllo dough crust rolled around an egg-almond paste. And don't miss out on the divine pleasure of _bola de Berlim_, a Portuguese-style doughnut served plain or filled with luscious custard, jam or chocolte– and a regular treat for Portuguese children at the beach. If the sugar rush is too much for you first thing in the morning, you can ask for a sandwich made with _pão de trigo_ (whole wheat bread), or try a simple, not-too-sweet cake such as _bolo de laranja_ or _bolo de limão_ (orange or lemon cake). The croissant game is improving, especially in Lisbon with its French invasion, but the _croissant de Porto_, a brioche-style croissant drizzled in sugar syrup, may be too sweet. You could also order one of their savory pastries or quiches, which means you can drop in for a quick bite at meal times as well. The cousin of the _pasteleria_ is the _padaria_. Historically, bread was made by the village baker, who was often the only one in the village with an oven, but this practice is sadly dying out. In its place is the local _padaria_, which may be a commercial operation or an artisanal one. What they offer depends on the region.  _**The café**_ As in most European countries, the Portuguese café is a fundamental part of any neighborhood – the gathering place for that neighborhood (or in the smaller towns, for the whole town), and the place where most people begin their day. You’ll order your coffee (see above) and perhaps a pastry, and probably leave within 20 minutes. You can also hit the café in the afternoon for a caffeine jolt and a snack, and maybe a beer or whisky. And you should non-judgmentally note the older men and construction workers enjoying their mini beers (or sometimes a glass of wine!) at 9 am to get the day going… _**The bar**_ In Portugal you can get a drink at just about any kind of establishment anywhere in the country, so there’s no special reason to go to a bar, but some bars are café-bars, where you can have snacks as well as drinks. It’s also usually possible to choose from a small bar menu of a few hot dishes and sandwiches, especially if you’re at one of the new wave of cocktail bars that have popped up around Lisbon and Porto. _**The casa de chá**_ _Chá_ (tea) is a major part of Portuguese culture and history, and these teahouses are scattered all over the country. Even if you’re not a tea fanatic, it’s worth a stop at one of them, if only to experience the excellent teas and the staggering range of sweets and cakes. Often there are also savory snacks for a simple lunch. _**The cervejaria**_ These “beer houses” are basically just less expensive eateries where there is a small, seasonal menu and simple surroundings in which to eat it. Don’t confuse these with the German beer halls or the American brewhouses, where you will find a hundred different beers on tap or in bottles. You can drop into a _cervejaria_ at any time of the day and well into the night, and simply stand at the bar nursing a beer and snacking on the types of foods that complement it: a little salty and savory such as roasted pig’s ears, _pastéis de bacalhau_ (salt cod fishcakes), _azeitonas_ (olives), finely sliced _presunto_ (cured ham) and _chouriço_ (a garlicky pork sausage flavored with red pepper paste). Some of these are more in the format of a restaurant, with sit-down tables and larger menus. This is also where you’re most likely to find one or all of the nationally beloved **Portuguese sandwiches**, which can be the perfect complement to an _imperial_ of beer, and can make a meal if you’re not too hungry.  _**Bifana**_ - The reigning king of all sandwiches, the confusingly named _bifana _is actually made of deliciously fragrant thinly sliced pork served in French bread, often with a slightly spicy piri piri-type sauce.  _**Prego no pao**_ - this simple yet delicious steak sandwich, has its origins in the town of Sintra but is available in almost every snack bar in the country. It consists of a soft white roll filled with thinly sliced steak fried in a pan with a lot of garlic. It is usually served with a yellow mustard, and often topped with a fried _ovo_ (egg). **_Leitão_** - This sandwich originated in Mealhada, a town in the Bairrada region, whose peasants used to offer their largest pigs to the landowner nobles, keeping the suckling pigs (_leitão_) for themselves. They roasted them in wood ovens, seasoned with garlic, bay leaves, olive oil and white pepper, cut the meat into slices and served them inside crusty country bread. Today you can still find them all over Bairrada. _**Francesinha**_ - The emblematic sandwich of Porto is definitely not for everybody. Created in the 1950’s, this is a sandwich served on a plate and consisting of thick slices of white bread with ham, sausage, cheese, and steak. The sandwich is then topped with more cheese, usually taken to the oven to melt over the sandwich, and possibly a slightly spicy sauce on top of that.  _**The churrasqueira**_ - These are family-style restaurants that specialize in _frango no churrasco_, delicious rotisserie chicken at a super-reasonable price (often only to go). There may be other grilled foods served, but the chicken is the reason people come here. It will be simply prepared for cooking with olive oil, and paprika or the spicier Portuguese _piri piri _if you choose. And above all you need to order some _batatas fritas_ (potato chips) to go with it! _**The marisqueira -**_ All along the coast (and even inland) you will find these specialist seafood restaurants. _Ostras_ (oysters), _caranguejo_ (crab), _lagosta_ (lobster), _camarões_ (prawns) and all the clams (including the Portuguese specialty _lingueirão_, (razor clams), plus a whole grilled fish by the kilo if you’re having a serious meal, can quickly add up and your final bill might surprise you. But it’s worth the splurge for the pleasure of sitting on a sunny beachfront or cliffside terrace, looking out onto the very sea where these delicacies were caught just that day. And all of this should be washed down by bottles of refreshing _vinho verde_ from the Alvarinho grape, or a light-bodied Arinto from the Lisboa DOC. _**The tasca**_ - A _tasca_ is an inexpensive eatery that is often run by a husband and wife team or their extended family. Here you’ll usually find fresh, seasonal produce simply cooked, and the cuts of meat and types of fish will be at the less expensive end of the spectrum. _Petiscos_, or the Portuguese version of Spanish tapas – shared small plates – will abound. Tascas can be tiny – just half a dozen tables, and they usually serve the recipes of their grandmothers. Grilled sardines (_sardinhas_), various _bacalhau_ (dried salt cod) dishes, abundant pork, _caldo verde_ (the ubiquitous Portuguese soup), and char-grilled chicken are some of the dishes on offer, and there is always cheese and/or desserts. All of this food is usually accompanied by a carafe of the house white or red, though there will also be a small wine list. In Lisbon especially, there has been a recent reimagining of the _tasca_ format, with the new generation taking over to provide modern twists on the old traditional dishes as well as creative wine lists. These chefs are sometimes known as the “new kids on the block” and these small, vibrant eateries are well worth seeking out – though booking far in advance is suggested. _**The taberna**_ - A tavern, along with its cousin the _tasquinha_ (little tavern), is where locals hang out, and the clientele is likely to be made up of loyal regulars. It can be a bit confusing because sometimes there’s not much difference between a tavern and a tasca or even a restaurant. However, look out for taverns that have one special regional dish each day and where most of the action is at lunchtime. Tables will possibly be shared, and there will be all walks of life there, squeezed in together. This is local food prepared for locals, and there won’t even be a menu – simply look at what everyone else is eating and order that. _**The restaurant**_ - Finally, all over Portugal (though mainly in the cities), you can find _restaurantes_, which offer varying levels of more formal service, and have various larger dishes not meant to be shared. Here is where you will encounter the more bible-like wine lists that may come leather-bound and take more time to read than the novel you’ve brought on the trip. As navigating such lists may be a bit overwhelming (unless you enjoy that sort of reading), you should leave it to the sommelier. But never allow yourself to be upsold or pressured into choosing a more expensive wine than you intended--just let the sommelier know what you are looking for and ask for recommendations from the different price ranges. _**The adega**_ - If you’re doing wine tasting in the various regions of the country, you may find you can eat at some of the wineries. In addition to selling wine produced on an estate, a winery may also have a restaurant or bar. The best _adegas_ will use the opportunity to offer the other produce of the property (if there is any – some _adegas_ are purely for wine making and have no public facilities) – usually it will be farm-pressed olive oil and preserved olives, jams and preserves, sausages and or Portuguese salami as well as wine from the barrel. It may only be open on weekends, or for special functions, though in recent years some have opened full fledged restaurants. **A word of encouragement for the vegetarians among us** Given the importance of beef and pork in Portuguese cuisine, one might imagine it could be rough going for visiting vegetarians. This has historically been true, with vegetarians being forced to make do with a diet of pizza, pasta and fairly sad salads or overcooked veggies. However, in recent years things have been looking up. In Lisbon and Porto, as in most large modern cities in the world, there is a strong and growing vegetarian/organic farming movement, and a plethora of good restaurants have popped up. Outside of the cities, it is definitely more challenging, but each city has at least one excellent restaurant option, especially for lunch. **International cuisines** While not quite a melting pot of cuisines, Lisbon has become much more interesting in recent years. At one point in history, Portugal was one of the world’s colonizing empires and (without getting into the complexities of that history) one legacy of this are the communities of families with origins in those former colonies within the capital city. Portugal once controlled the Azores, Madeira, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Principe around the coast of Africa; Cochin, Goa, and Colombo on the Indian subcontinent; Macao and Nagasaki in East Asia; Mozambique and Angola in Africa; and Brazil. One can find traces of the culinary traditions of these places in many traditional Portuguese recipes, and the new generation of diners have shown a much greater interest in and appreciation for the restaurants dedicated to these cuisines. Add to this a healthy influx of people emigrating from China, Nepal and Ukraine, and suddenly you’ve got a very vibrant international dining scene – for now only in Lisbon and to a lesser degree in Porto. **Ordering like a local at the more traditional places** Once you get used to the way a Portuguese menu (_emenda_, _carta or men**ú**_) works (and you may already be), you will find ordering simple and fun – and be extremely pleased by how delicious the food is! Remember, you can always ask your server in English if you don’t understand something on the menu. One thing to note: as in many countries outside of the US, at restaurants most guests drink bottled water. So if you are thirsty when you sit, you’ll need to first ask your server for bottled **mineral water**, either _**sem gas**_ (still) or _**com gas**_ (sparkling). Confusingly to some Americans, your server might also ask whether you’d like _fresca_ (cool) or _natural_ (room temperature). _**Pre-meal snacks**_ You may find yourself very tempted by the tray of nibbles your server brings over to you to ask which you want (or, in some places, just plops down in front of you without even asking). Technically, it’s illegal for restaurants to automatically serve them to you without telling you the price, but it’s such a charming Portuguese dining tradition that you’re unlikely to take them to court! The olives are among the best in Europe, and the _queijo fresco_ (a cross between cottage cheese and ricotta) goes perfectly with the crusty bread (_pão_) they’ll inevitably bring you. And sometimes there’s even a fresh octopus salad (_salada de polvo_) or some other kind of seafood dip or spread. All of these can be delicious but be careful, as you don’t want to ruin your appetite… This is also the time in your meal when you will be handed a wine list (_carta de vinhos_) if it’s that type of place (if not just ask them to bring you a carafe of the house wine) and asked to choose a wine. Don’t be ashamed to ask your server or (if it’s a higher level restaurant) the sommelier for help, as, outside of the Douro, Portuguese wine may be completely unknown to you.  _**Cheeses**_ The Portuguese don’t have the post-meal cheese tradition of the French, but they are very proud of their local cheeses and will bring them out to offer them to you (for a price!) with the bread basket while you peruse the menu. Crafted with expertise and generations of tradition, these cheeses delight the taste buds and showcase the region's rich dairy heritage. From creamy and mild varieties to aged and robust options, there's a cheese for every palate. Pair these delightful cheeses with a glass of local wine for a divine experience. Depending on where you are in the country, you will have various delicious options; here are a few of our favorites: - Indulge in the velvety smoothness of _Serra da Estrela_, a soft cheese made from sheep's milk which comes from the Serra da Estrela mountain range. It is produced with the milk of _Bordaleira Serra da Estrela_ or _Churra Mondegueira_ sheep. This famous cheese has a thin shell on the outside that protects the creamy and buttery interior, which is to be scooped out and spooned over hunks of fresh bread. - Savor the distinctive tang of _Terrincho Velho_, a semi-hard cheese with a nutty flavor that comes from the raw milk of the _Churra da Terra Quente_ breed of sheep. It is a cured cheese originating in the north of the country. - When in the region of Setúbal, don’t miss the local cheese _Azeitão_. From the town of the same name, it is produced using unpasteurised milk of ewes who roam free on the slopes of the Serra da Arrábida. It has been in production for nearly 200 years and is generally considered to be one of Portugal’s most delicious and distinctive cheeses. - From the Azores, with its natural landscapes, green pastures and grass fed cattle, comes the delicious tangy _São Jorge _cheese. It’s usually cured for at least three months but the most sought after versions are aged for much longer. If this popular cheese doesn’t get the PDO certification seal, it is simply referred to as _queijo da ilha_ (island cheese). - If you’re a fan of sheep’s milk cheeses, don’t miss _Queijo de Nisa_ from the upper Alentejo region. This is yet a raw milk cheese curdled with an infusion of thistle. After one to two months of curing, the cheese becomes semi-hard and somewhat yellowish. It is very intense with an acidic aftertaste, making it the perfect companion for a glass of strong fruity Alentejo red. **Choosing well** Portuguese menus, at least at the restaurants, are divided into sections based on courses, and these courses can usually also be shared. The sections you’ll see on the menu will be: _**Entradas**_ (appetizers – literally, “incoming”) – confusingly named for Americans as “entrees” means main courses back at home! You may notice that this section of the menu is structured differently, as appetizers aren’t given much importance in Portuguese cuisine.  You’re more likely to see the ubiquitous _**sopa**_ (soup – we could write an entire dissertation on the importance Portuguese people place on soup, especially for kids, but that’s another story), which turns out to be pureed liquid vegetables no matter what flavor it comes in. But there is one soup, considered the holy grail of Portuguese soups, and possibly one of the world’s best hangover cures: _**caldo verde**_. A slightly thicker soup, it is made with potatoes, cabbage, sausage, garlic and onion, and goes very well with thick crusty hunks of bread and a bottle of crisp Loureiro wine. Finally, there is the soothing_**canja**_, the most famous of which is _canja de galinha_ (chicken soup). This involves chicken, onion, sausage, salt and ham, all over a base of either rice or pasta. Just like grandma used to make! Another category of Portuguese appetizers is the _**tapisco**_ (small plate to share, like Spanish tapas). These can either be shared (or not) as starters, or combined to make a meal in themselves. Some of the most beloved _tapiscos_ are: - _**Bacalhau**_ - you won’t get very far in this country before you’ve encountered this, the national dish, codfish. More on that later, but in the _t_tapisco_ategory we find the _pastel_ or _bolinho de bacalhau_, fried dumplings with cod and potatoes, as well as the _pataniscas_ and _iscas de bacalhau_, which are made with shredded and seasoned cod, and fried breaded. - _**Pica pau**_ - literally, “woodpecker.” This consists of small cuts of meat (pork, beef or a mix of both) drenched in beer-based gravy and topped with Portuguese style pickles (carrots and cauliflower) as well as a few black olives. Make sure you have some bread to soak up the sauce and wash it all down with a round or two of cold beer. - _Peixinhos da horta_ one of the very few vegetarian _petiscos_, tempura-fried green beans served with an herbed dipping sauce or two. Interestingly, the Portuguese (not the Japanese) are believed to be behind the invention and diffusion of tempura as a cooking technique. - _**Gambas ao alho**_ - This one may show up under other aliases, like _gambas ao alho_, _gambas ao alhinho_, _gambas à la guilho_ or _camarões à guilho_. It doesn’t matter, just order it! You’ll be presented with a delicious sizzling cast iron dish with perfectly cooked prawns or shrimp fried in aromatic olive oil and alho (garlic). If you can handle some spice, make sure you let your server know, as many cooks will add some red chili flakes. - _**Amêijoas à bulhão pato**_ - One of the Portuguese favorite shellfish dishes, this consists of clamshells (_amêijoas_) cooked in a deliciously tart sauce made with white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and lots of fresh coriander. Order it at most Portuguese restaurants – even if it is with _mexilhões (_mussels) or _lingueirões_ (razor clams) – the sauce is the star of the show here. - _**Salada de polvo**_ –If you weren’t served this as a pre-meal snack with your bread, consider ordering this as a starter; it’s perfectly prepared octopus boiled until very tender, chopped in little chunks, accompanied by tiny pieces of onions and peppers, all swimming in a tangy marinade flavored with olive oil, vinegar, garlic and fresh herbs such as cilantro and parsley. Excellent with a crisp white wine from the Lisboa or Azores docs! - _**Presunto**_ the cured sliced ham that is a delicacy all over Portugal and Spain – even more so if it comes from the _bellota pata negra_. This is mainly served before the main course as an appetizer or even just with the bread and snacks. - **_Sapateira recheada_** - Found mainly at a cervejaria or seafood restaurant, this is considered quite the delicacy. The chef will mix up the meat from the head and body of the crab with mustard, mayo and other tasty things to make a dip served right from the shell. You’ll dip bread or crackers into it. - _**Portuguese sausages**_ - Like the Spanish, Portuguese people really enjoy their pork products, and have developed a similar range of sausages and cured meats. If it’s not too heavy for you, these can be ordered as a starter. Here are some of the greats: - _Chouriço_ - pork sausage with garlic and chili, usually not too spicy, and also the main ingredient in one of the national delicacies, freshly baked _pão com chouriço_ (not just for kids!) - _Alheira_ - a national treasure, an invention of Portuguese Jews to escape the Inquisition persecution in the sixteenth century. By replacing the pork meat with chicken or other poultry, they could pretend to be eating pork and therefore not Jewish. It was wrapped in a dough of wheat bread and seasoned with olive oil, salt, garlic,and sweet or spicy paprika. Over time the recipe became popular among Christians, who added pork meat or lard.  - _Farinheira_ - a cousin of alheira, also invented by Portuguese Jews to have something to hang in their smokehouses to feign the consumption of pork. It is made with flour_ (farinha), _which gives it its name, red capsicum paste, paprika, wine and these days also with pork fat. It can be served fried or roasted and is often served with scrambled eggs as a starter. - _Morcela_ - beloved by some, dreaded by others, blood sausage is nonetheless a consistent presence on most traditional Portuguese menus. Technically a meatless sausage, it is stuffed with pork blood and fat, along with flour or rice, and then spices like cloves and cumin are added. It can be served roasted, cooked or cold. _**PRATOS PRINCIPAIS**_ (the main course) – This is where you will find the meat (_carne_), fish (_peixe_) or substantial vegetable (_legumes_) dishes, with higher prices than the previous course. These might include _porco_ (pork), _frango_ (chicken), _bife_ (beef), _borrego_ (lamb), and _mariscos_ (mixed shellfish). Some highly typical Portuguese main dishes not to be missed are: -_**Cozido à portuguesa**_ – Wherever you go around the country, you’ll see signs alerting you that a restaurant is making a _cozido_ (meat stew) that day (“_Há cozido à portuguesa_!”). This is a carnivore’s dream dish: a slow-boiled meat plate bursting with savory porky, beefy flavor. Often included are sausages like _chouriço_, smoky _farinheira_ and _morcela_ (blood sausage); hunks of beef (and/or pork and/or chicken); pig ears and trotters; and meat-scented cabbage, potatoes, rice, and beans. The dish has origins in the Beira region of north-central Portugal, but has become somewhat of the national dish, and aptly so – it’s no-nonsense food served in a no-nonsense manner. - **_Bacalhau_** - It may be surprising that in a meat-loving country like Portugal, a fish takes center stage, but you will quickly see that here the simple codfish reigns supreme. You won’t be able to walk down a street in Lisbon or Porto without catching a whiff (even all the way from the street!) of the pungent odor that is dried, salted codfish. The Portuguese rarely prepare it fresh, so the dried and salted version is first “reconstituted” then prepared in a variety of sauces. In fact, it is so ubiquitous, so ingrained in the minds and hearts of cooks all over the country, that they say there are around 1,000 ways to prepare it. Some of the most popular are _Bacalhau à Brás_ (shredded and baked codfish (bound with eggs), mixed with equally small bits of potatoes); and the casserole-style _Bacalhau com Natas_ (with a cream sauce). - _**Beef dishes**_ - Portuguese beef can be high quality, especially when it comes from the Azores islands where the cows are all grass fed, or when you’re in a higher-end restaurant. But, while they can be very tasty, the standard piece of meat you will get in a traditional Portuguese tasca or other restaurant won’t be top-quality. Nevertheless it is a fundamental part of Portuguese cuisine, and there are some things you should know about eating beef. - **Cuts of beef** - the key ones to know are _lombo_ (short loin and sirloin - from which filet mignon and other top cuts) and _vazia_ (tenderloin, top loin, rib) - **Cooking Temperature**- in many traditional beef dishes you won’t have a choice, but in finer restaurants and steakhouses, you should choose between: - _**Mal Passado**_ rare and medium rare (more toward rare) - **_Medio_** medium, right in the middle - **_Médio mais para bem passado_** medium well - **_Bem passado_** well done **Typical beef dishes:** _**Bife à portuguesa**_ - (sometimes called _bitoque_) the country’s signature steak, pan-fried in a sauce of bay leaf, garlic and white wine, and normally crowned with a beautiful fried egg (and sometimes a slice of ham). You will see this dish in almost every tasca, cafe and restaurant in the country. - _Naco a pedra_ - this is usually a cut of veal or _lombo_ (sirloin), sliced thick and grilled up Benihana-style on a mini stone grill. It is usually rare when it arrives but then continues cooking right in front of your eyes. - _**Pork dishes**_ - Pork is often a better bet than beef in Portugal, given the prevalence of the Iberian Peninsula’s gourmet jewel _pata negra_ (black hoof) pigs (especially in the Alentejo region). The finest quality _pata negra_ is called the _bellota_, coming from free-range pigs that roam oak forests around the border of Portugal and Spain eating chestnuts and acorns, and whose meat is curated for 36 months. This is the Rolls Royce of ham and pork, priced at upwards of 150€/kg, making it one of the most expensive products in the market. But many people think it’s worth the price tag, and love its rich, earthy taste. There are several delicious pork dishes to look out for while in Portugal: _**Secretos de porco**_ - this "secret" piece of pork hides inside the fatty bacon, known as the bacon blanket, between the first and second layer. It is a muscle that in an adult animal weighs around 600 grams.  _**Carne de porco à alentejana**_ - as the name reveals, this dish of chunks of tender pork, mixed with crispy potatoes, clams and pickles, is a favorite in the Alentejo region. _**Lombo de porco**_ - pork tenderloin is always a great order if at a good restaurant, especially if it is from _**pata negra**_ pigs. This is tender and juicy meat, taken from the inner part of the pork loin. _**Costeletas de porco**_ - another common order is pork ribs, which can be very delicious with just the right amount of juicy fat along the bones. These are generally simply grilled, and then you will squeeze a bit of lemon over them and eat them with rice and vegetables or salad. _**Leitão à Bairrada**_ - with the best version coming from the Bairrada region in Central Portugal, this is one of those national treasures which is still made in exactly the same way – and it is even on the list of the seven wonders of Portuguese food. It is seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, etc., and roasted for hours until golden brown, then served with potatoes and salad (and best washed down with a glass of the sparkling wine from the region). - _**Lamb dishes**_ - Lamb (_borrego_) is quite not as common as in some other European countries, but you will find it at the more gourmet restaurants. You can get some of the same cuts of lamb as you can beef and pork, and the _costeletas_ are especially flavorful. - _**Game dishes**_ - Game (_caça_) is not as common in Portuguese restaurants but there is a culture of hunting on the vast expanses of land owned by the country’s wealthy landowners. At the finer restaurants, you will see the occasional _javali_ (wild boar), _veado_ (venison) or _perdiz_ (partridge). - _**Arroz de pato**_ - a very common, delicious casserole with rice, this dish has a long culinary history and originated in the North of Portugal. The rice is prepared with garlic, wine and bay leaf, and filled with tender pieces of duck meat as well as slices of chouriço sausage, then garnished with orange slices. Kids love it too! - **Seafood dishes** - What kind of seafood (and whether there is seafood at all) is highly dependent on where you are, but if you are in a seafood-focused restaurant, you should look to order the whole grilled fish _dourada_ (sea bream) and _**robalo**_ (sea bass) are good choices), _**choco frito**_ (breaded and fried cuttlefish that is a specialty of the Setúbal region), or delicious stews to share among 2 or 3 people, like _**arroz de mariscos**_, _**arroz de polvo**_ or _**cataplana de mariscos**_. _**Carabineiros**_ (deliciously sweet scarlet prawns) and _**percebes**_ (goose barnacles, only in season for part of the year) are much harder to find but also interesting delicacies to try. _**Cabidela**_ - This is one of the oldest and most classic dishes of Portuguese cuisine, with records of it appearing way back in the 16th century. But _**cabidela**_ rice is also one of the country’s most surprising and bizarre dishes. Hailing from the Minho region, it is made with rice and chicken meat (sounds fine so far). But it incorporates the blood drained from the chicken, mixed with vinegar so as to “sterilize” it, added at the end of cooking. It’s an authentic and flavorful experience for those who dare to try it.  _**Sardinhas grelhadas**_ - The ubiquitous emblem of Lisbon (though only really in season in the summer) grilled sardines with the heads still on are a particular taste. Beginning in late May you’ll see pieces of paper taped to the windows of tascas and restaurants around town, saying "_**há sardinhas**_". At these places you can usually make a satisfying meal out of five or six grilled sardines with potato and salad, or you can have a sandwich by putting them into a nice crusty roll (this happens the most during the famous June _**festas**_). _**Feijoada**_ - a very popular stew made with pork and beans, traditionally made with white beans and red beans. Some of the regional variations, like _**feijoada à Transmontana**_ and _**feijoada de mariscos**_, are also interesting to try when you are in those regions. _**ACOMPANHAMENTOS**_ (sides) - almost every beef and pork fish is served with _arroz_ (rice – plain white but nonetheless tasty when you mix it in with the sauce and meat) or _batatas_ (potatoes, either boiled or fried), and _legumes_ (vegetables, usually cooked to high heaven) or a _salada mista_ (the Portuguese mixed salad consists of regular lettuce with tomatoes, raw onions and sometimes one or two other vegetables). But you can sub in or out any of these sides, and there may also be some more gourmand preparations of grilled vegetables and potatoes on the menu. And another highly typical side is _açorda_, a sort of Portuguese polenta that can be served with or under shrimp or meat – not to be confused with _açorda à alentejana_, which is actually a soup with bread and a fried egg in it. **SOBREMESAS** (desserts) – While not necessarily known for its desserts, Portugal does have quite a few delicious offerings. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Portuguese sweets, local desserts can be a heavenly symphony of flavors, textures and craftsmanship when done well. - _**Ananas**_- pineapple, unlike any you’ve ever had – cut into juicy rounds and with an unparalleled sweetness. There are sometimes other fruits on the dessert menu, most commonly _melão_ (delicious ripe honeydew melon).  - _**Arroz doce**_ - you know it as rice pudding, and we bet you didn’t know that the first rice pudding was made in Portugal. This version is made with rice, milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and salt, and is custard-like and soft on the interior. - _**Leite creme**_ - similar to French crème brulée, made with sugar, egg yolks and cinnamon and slightly crispy from the caramelized sugar on the top, but it’s boiled.  - _**Mousse de chocolate**_- it may sound boring but trust us, it’s anything but - Portuguese chocolate mousse generally comes from high quality dark chocolate and is served in a dollop on a stone plate, or in a sundae glass. After all this eating wraps up, you will then be offered **coffee**, and possibly some sort of **digestif** or after dinner drink.  Note that when the bill comes, tax (VAT) is included, but not service. While not expected in Portugal, a **small tip** (1-2 euros per person in a _tasca _or up to 10% in more formal restaurants) is always much appreciated. **WHERE TO EAT:** **Restaurants:** _**Traditional Portuguese**_ **Taberna da Rua das Flores** - one of the true gems of Lisbon, but must get there by 6:30 or forget about it—no reservations and teeny. Order wine or a drink and stand outside while you wait. **Cacué**- in the Avenidas Novas area (Picoas), a bit off the beaten path, but serving very fresh versions of the Portuguese classics in an intimate atmosphere. **Cevicheria Ramiro** - the legend - super touristy but justifiably so and delicious - but another one where you need to get there by 7 to stand in line or it’s ridiculous – or go early for lunch.The only non-seafood item on the menu is the beef sandwich, which is good enough to play that role! **Solar dos Presuntos** - great traditional food in a lively modern atmosphere, beloved by movie stars and footballers. Let the servers guide you when ordering. **Ze da Mouraria**- (the original one in Mouraria) - especially Tuesday lunch when they serve the ribs. One of the most traditional places in the city, but it’s become known by tourists. **A Valenciana** - the best rotisserie chicken in a very old school atmosphere with bright lights and busloads of tourists. But worth it! Try to snag a table outside. **Cafe São Bento** - a Prohibition-era feeling steakhouse with fabulous old pro waiters dressed in formal waiter wear; ring the bell to get in. Must book in advance. **O Piteu da Graça** - seafood-focused, highly traditional and with a welcoming staff, in a nice old building in the bustling part of Graça. **Gambrinus** - a true gem right in the heart of the tourist zone (Rossio). Step inside the doors and into another era. You could get a table but the real attraction is the carved oak bar–try to get a seat there and let the waiters masterfully perform the lost art of traditional service. **Ultimo Porto** - down under the bridge on the docks, one of the few remaining places you can get charcoal-grilled fish, served the same way for over 50 years. **Ponto Final** - across the river under the bridge on the other side (you take the ferry from Cais do Sodre then walk along the water to get there), one of the greatest views in all of Lisbon (from the other side), and with highly traditional seafood and meat dishes. _**“New kids on the block” tascas:**_ There’s a nice new movement of young chefs who take the traditional “tasca” model and use the recipes of their grandmothers to cook fresh, locally sourced food paired with great natural and organic wines. **Taberna Sal Grosso** - the originator of the movement; delicious small plates and a small but well selected wine list **Taberna do Calhau** - inventive chef-driven tasca with a ton of personality and creativity, always full **Tasca Baldracca** - one of the original Sal Grosso founders, now running this simple but lively spot. A good place to try some true Portuguese delicacies. Small but good wine list. **O Velho Eurico** - must book way in advance and even then it’s impossible to get in. Is it worth it? I’m not sure! But the food is delicious and it’s in a fun location. **Agua pela Barba** - nice atmosphere, with creative takes on Portuguese specialties. Only two seatings a night and they usually kick you out at 9:30 if you’re in the first one (7:30). Cash only. **Fumeiro de Santa Catarina** - run by two great women, one of the first of this kind, with delicious small plates made for sharing in large groups and a small but thoughtful wine list.   **Pigmeu** - the whole pig - don’t go if you don’t like pork! On a nice side street in Campo de Ourique, run by a very passionate chef. **Tasca Pete** - one of the newest additions, from a chef who lived in London for a while - delicious small plates; very tough to get a booking but try way in advance on Instagram, or if you’re only 2 people you can try to walk in. **Tati** - this is Act II (in a new location - Penha da França) of this wonderful tasca/wine bar. The small plates are always of the freshest, most local ingredients, and the wine list is beautifully curated, one of the most organic and natural in the city. _**Modern Portuguese cuisine:**_ **Cantinho do Avillez** - one of several of the celebrity chef’s outposts in Lisbon, must book in advance, always solid food (but created mainly for tourists). If you’re looking for a bit more casual, try Bairro do Avillez instead). **O Frade** - delicious seafood and meat, in Belem and with a beautiful half-moon bar where you can (and should!) eat. **Boi Cavalho** - tiny gem located in a former butcher shop in Alfama, and serving a fresh, seasonal menu full of plays on traditional recipes, and all paired with full bodied wines from their more traditional list. **A Nossa Casa** - on a loud annoying street in Bairro Alto but wonderful farm-to-table food, run by a passionate young couple - must book in advance **Senhor Uva** - vegetarian cuisine in an intimate atmosphere (and now with a second space across the street), and one of the city’s better wine lists - the owner really knows about wine. **Prado** - one of the city’s best new(ish) higher end restaurants, with only Portuguese products on the menu, and also one of its best wine lists, with all the modern Portuguese greats and a very knowledgeable sommelier. **Tricky’s** - modern cooking incorporating traditional Portuguese recipes and ingredients, run by a very passionate and dedicated team, on Rua de São Paulo. **Atalho Real** - excellent meat done in a traditional way, and with a great outdoor terrace–book for the terrace. Traditional Portuguese wine list. **Trinca** - hidden on a side street in the gentrifying neighborhood of Anjos, serving modern small plates heavily inspired by South American, Japanese and Portuguese cuisines.  **SEM** - Creatively prepared tasting menu and recently-Michelin-awarded dishes are created specifically to combat food waste, and ingredients are chosen according to seasonality, and to support local farmers. Fresh inventive cocktails and a nice natural-heavy wine list. _**More formal, high end dining:**_ **100 Maneiras** - Chef Ljubomir Stanisic very creatively runs this Michelin-starred bistro and restaurant, which also has one of the best cocktail menus in the city. **Canalha** - opened in late 2023 and is already one of the hardest reservations to get. Chef João Rodrigues chooses only the finest ingredients from around the world for his lovingly prepared dishes. **Belcanto** - for a special occasion, first restaurant to earn 2 Michelin stars, and part of the mini-empire of Portugal’s only true celebrity chef, Jose Avillez. Interiors are chic and grand, without feeling stuffy, the service is impeccable; you choose from three tasting menus, or a la carte (but do one of the tasting menus!). **Alma** - Henrique Sá Pessoa's Michelin-starred gastronomic temple, serving a creative multi-course tasting menu accompanied by a very deep wine list. **Loco** - in Estrela/Lapa just above the Basilica, Michelin-starred. Creative 16-course tasting menu that the helpful staff takes their time and explains. They have a thoughtful, all-Portuguese wine list. **Sala de Corte** - in the Cais de Sodre area, considered Lisbon’s best steakhouse, with various cuts and accompaniments, including some fabulous aged beef. They have a very high end wine list designed for the business lunch crowd. _**Pizza**_ **Lero Lero** - just pizza and fabulous natural wine (the owner is also a wine importer), but the crust is possibly the best in town. **In Bocca al Lupo** - delicious very thin-crust pizza in a hidden passageway off Praca das Flores Everything’s organic, and they have gluten free crust and are kid-friendly. **Lupita** - a newer addition to the scene but already the most popular with the hipsters - their sourdough crust is to die for. **Zero Zero** - for outdoor terrace - good pizzas, salads and pastas and very kid friendly. **Memoria** - nice pizzas but also other Italian food, very pleasant indoor/outdoor terrace, on the sweet little park in Campo de Ourique. _**Food from other countries:**_ **Baan** - by far the best Thai in Lisbon; strange location behind El Corte Ingles (shopping mall) but the owner really knows how to run a restaurant. **Casa Nepalesa** - the atmosphere (mountain ski chalet) and the food are fabulous; best to book in advance. **Gunpowder Lisboa** - Lisbon outpost of the London classic, but incorporating Portuguese ingredients and dishes into the Indian menu. Also has an excellent, locally dominated wine list. **Cafe Tehran** - very nice Persian cuisine in Praca das Flores. **Honda Ramen** - but there are many ramen joints around the same level - take your pick! **Potzalia** - authentic Mexican food in Lisbon - inside a bizarre shopping center in a weird location but a second one opened up in Estefania and is more lively. **Treestory** - delicious Georgian food and wines with a lovely terrace for when it’s warm. **A Parte** - Brazilian steak and seafood with a really lovely atmosphere in an old mansion. **Go Juu** - great sushi; non-members can only get in on certain nights, call to reserve. **Aron Sushi** - really fresh sushi, great lunch menu deal. **Hikidashi** - another great sushi lunch menu, in Campo de Ourique. **Jesus e Goes** - among the best Goan food in town, in a very lively atmosphere and with a small but creative wine list. **Mezze** - a fabulous concept inside the Arroios market, with recently arrived Syrian refugees serving fresh and delicious Middle Eastern food. **Associação Cabo Verde** - on the top floor of the corporate building where the Association is housed, in Rato, is this joyful restaurant that serves the traditional food of this former Portuguese colony, during “dance lunches” with live music and actual dancing–quite an experience. **Cantinho do Aziz** - the pioneer of Mozambican food in the city (since the 1980s), and still serving “Indo-African” specialties on a lovely shaded terrace in Mouraria. **Boa Bao** - fresh (and spicy if you want!) Asian street food with a nice terrace out front and in the back; in the heart of Chiado. **Chuan Yue** - the best Szichuan in Lisbon, but in a zero atmosphere strip mall place in Roma. **Old House** - same owners as Chuan Yue, but a more lively ambience and in Parque das Nações. _**Cafes/pastries/other:**_ **Pasteis de Belem** - the original, and simply the best, pastel de nata, and worth the trip even if you’re not otherwise going to Belem. Line up and order, then eat them warm with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top. **Manteigaria** - a very close runner up to Pasteis de Belem, with their own recipe and style, but still fabulous! Various locations. **8 Marvila** - innovative modern food court in the hipster neighborhood Beato, makes for a great night out. **Dois Corvos** - the brewery/restaurant serves some great food along with their own craft beers in the Beato neighborhood. **Time Out Market** - an impressive array of local food offerings - if you can brave the crowds! **Manteigaria Silva** - a great place to pick up picnic supplies like local cheeses and the sought after delicacy “pata negra” (from the black Iberian pig). _**Quiosques de Lisboa:**_ The old school kiosks dotted around Lisbon are a blast-from-the-past way to soak up true Portuguese culture. The city’s first kiosk opened in Rossio Square in 1869, but over the years most of them closed and were left abandoned until the recent trend of reviving the tradition. Older kiosks were restored, and new ones were built in the city’s squares and gardens. There are currently dozens of kiosks for all tastes and occasions, and each one has its own personality. Score a table and order (at the window) a beer on a sunny afternoon. Here are some favorites… **Quiosque de São Paulo** - Cais do Sodré area; excellent food prepared by the chef from Cafe da Rua das Flores. **Gengibre da Estrela** - inside Jardim da Estrela; the best people watching. **Ribeira das Naus** - Cais do Sodré; great little chairs to sit and watch the ships go by. **Quiosque Popular** - inside the Jardim da Cerca da Graça; wonderful views especially at sunset. **Clara Clara** - inside Jardim Botto Machado, a small park by the National Pantheon. Perfect for a post-flea market beer. **Quiosque “O Melhor Bolo de Chocolate do Mundo”** - one of several really pleasant kiosks lining the pedestrian sidewalks of Liberdade; always shady. **Praça das Flores** - inside one of the most tranquil praças in Lisbon - and you can get wine at Black Sheep and sit out on the benches. **Quiosque das Amoreiras** - at the foot of the old Roman aqueduct, and with an excellent music selection at happy hour. **Hamburgueria da Parada** - serving organic burgers and inside Campo de Ourique’s main meeting place. _**Wine and cocktail bars:**_ _**Wine bars**_ **Vino Vero** - a must! a great spot in a tiny passageway, perfect to sit outside and eat Italian snacks/drink great wines, watch the people go by. **Black Sheep** - a fabulous tiny little wine bar which began with all Portuguese wine (though they have expanded now)--ask for a bottle and your glasses and go sit in the beautiful park/square (Praça das Flores) right there. **Bom Bom Bom** - in the heart of the action at the top of the Graça hill, focusing on small plates and organic/natural wines. **Cerveteca** - only a couple wines, but the best selection of craft beers and a nice outdoor terrace, in a very authentic Portuguese neighborhood. **Comida Independente** - wine bar/shop and charcuterie down in the Cais do Sodre area, run by a passionate and knowledgeable couple who focus on all Portuguese products. _**Cocktail bars:**_ **Foxtrot** - a beautiful old traditional cocktail bar with some of the best drinks in Lisbon. Book a table in the front room near the bar. **Pavilhao Chines** - character-filled landmark with old pro waiters and crazy memorabilia all over - an experience. **Red Frog** - speakeasy with creative cocktails and artisanal beer and wine. _**Ice cream:**_ **Nannarella** - the best ice cream in Portugal (and possibly in Spain too!), and a must - take it up to Praça das Flores or down to the park behind the Parliament and eat it there. **Davvero** - started by an ex-Nannarella person and a very close second. **Conchanata** - nothing’s changed here since it opened in 1947, run by an Italian family and with very traditional flavors, including the house specialty, the “conchanata”, two scoops of strawberries and cream with a strawberry sauce on top. _**Beach lunches:**_ **Costa da Caparica (across the bridge):** - Praia da Princesa - Irmão - Piscina - Retiro do Pescador - Casa Reia  **Colares (over the hill from Sintra):** - **Nortada** - not right on the beach but up the road overlooking the sea, and serving some of the area’s freshest seafood and other Portuguese specialties. - **Bar do Fundo** - the place to go to sit right on the beach in Praia Grande, with the crashing waves as your backdrop. - **Azenhas do Mar** - set against the cliffs in one of Portugal’s most stunning villages, with a fabulous view out to sea and even its own natural ocean pool. Food is expensive but excellent, and the wine list is one of the best in the area. - **Adraga** - one of the most impressive beaches in the area, with a restaurant serving whole grilled fish and perfectly prepared meats. Must book in advance. - **Aldeia da Praia** - a lovely little community spot with several great food trucks, a craft beer bar and a delicious pizza place **Cascais area:** - Bar de Guincho (further afield, right on the beach) - Taberna Clandestina (Portuguese-Italian) - 5 Sentidos (modern Portuguese) - Cantinho do Avillez (from celebrity chef José Avillez) - Jardim dos Frangos (local spot for rotisserie chicken) - Souldough Pizza - Malacopa (Mexican) - Chutnify (modern Indian) - Milkees/Gleba (bakery and coffee)

It's been a while since the last Degenerate Corner. Sports betting has slowed down a bit, at least for the sports with odds at [FreeBitcoin](https://freebitco.in/?r=51325722). They just opened a pool for the Dutch Grand Prix. I made a killing on the last Formula 1 event, almost tripling my bet. For those new to the series, check out my post [RBOA](https://stacker.news/items/342765/r/Undisciplined) to see why I like this site for betting and how their odds work. They really do offer better-than-fair odds for early bettors. Share your recent sports betting adventures and misadventures in the comments. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/628381

On my phone I use Amethyst, but on the desktop I jump around. It seems none of the web clients are even close to as performant as the the mobile apps, at least Damus and Amethyst. What is everyone using for Nostr when at there computer? I am anxiously awaiting the Damus desktop client which I hope will be my solution, but until that comes to fruition I really want to find the best experience I can on desktop.

Maybe this isn't as dramatic as the title suggests, but I felt like I had a dad victory today (temporarily). I was taking my daughter to our neighborhood pool for the first time this year. It's outside and they send us the code to get in every summer. Supposedly, the code was the same this year as last year. When we got there, the pool was empty, which is pretty normal for our pool, especially in the morning. I tried the code on one of the gates. No luck. A neighbor passing by with her dog tells me that some of the gates aren't working, but she's not sure which ones. She also isn't sure if the code is the same as last year. So we go check the other two gates. Still no luck and the kid's getting impatient. I tell her we have to go home. Tears, crying, etc. So, fuck it, I scale the fence and open the gate from the inside. Problem solved. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/626288

This just popped into my head and I wanted to see what people thought about it. If you're not familiar with Locals, and I barely am, it's a platform where content creators can build their own communities without risk of being shutdown by a central administrator. It seems like territories can offer that. Why not buy a territory and use it to house or share your content and facilitate discussions about it? Those territories could then also function as ongoing AMA's. Am I missing something or is this fairly low-hanging fruit? Obviously, I'm talking about people with reasonably large followings who are publishing books and articles and podcasts and tv appearances and so forth. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/626275

I knew last night that I didn't want to make bread otherwise I would have shaped a bread loaf and stored it in a banneton overnight. This time I was going to make #### Breadlings a.k.a. rolls or dinner rolls. There wasn't much shaping involved, none actually. I took the dough out of the bowl, put it on a floured surface and divided it into 12 (?) differently shaped little dough pieces. I placed them on a baking paper into my Dutch oven and baked each batch for about 30 - 35 minutes, 10 minutes on high heat and the remaining time on moderate heat. | | | | --- | --- | | https://cdn.satellite.earth/b786ddc52895468ee47d59cca7a8bb0361a4cac1a59d06721232264edd510eb0.jpg | https://cdn.satellite.earth/0ef42689e0b0b5647abbd5111cabb69a40b4d47c23b443cb51a2f89b80c61b04.jpg | | https://cdn.satellite.earth/184c7dc2e23ec939ebbc7f6d11d80acf3789af9fe58ce4485c1d7069d9e52bdc.jpg | https://cdn.satellite.earth/1f5df9aa5be31bb80c2ac61185db3f9b755b5d0baa51c477e8ae9ac533d40db5.jpg | | https://cdn.satellite.earth/4617bea30796b81fddc1ecde6a354bd975c0e1628c6de54f0792ba2b88c62ffb.jpg | https://cdn.satellite.earth/ec0aa6496b521285ccf0c206e9e8776980922518e1789796f267388c31f83845.jpg | | https://cdn.satellite.earth/8ac7a1cb4b621c803ef42bb98d9d7c079f5723a632d9be6b105c048db44e123a.jpg | https://cdn.satellite.earth/9287253cd388f00b3083e713695c7de86a7e8ec2cdb4271db39da8b9da003740.jpg | Then they had to cool down before, finally, two of them found their way onto our breakfast table and into our tummies. ### <center>**The verdict:**</center> #### <center>**Awesome!

I finished my first round of rankings, based solely on the RotoWire depth charts and a little feedback from readers, and decided to compare them to the NFFC’s ADP, to see where my early leans differ most from the market’s. I’m using the ADP from July 14-25 (spanning 13 RotoWire Online Championship Drafts.) The board version looks like this:  Here are the market’s rankings side by side with mine:  **Quarterback** I’m pretty much in lockstep for the top-10 QBs. I’m a little higher on Kyler Murray and lower on Joe Burrow, but if Burrow looks 100 percent healthy throughout camp, I might move him up. Murray is another year removed from the ACL tear and gets Marvin Harrison, so I’ll probably have some shares at current market prices. Apparently, I’m a lot higher than the market on Justin Herbert. I know the Chargers plan to run more, but game situation will dictate some of that, and I’m betting on the talent and a more competent coaching staff. I’m also higher on Danny Dimes — he gets Malik Nabers, a healthy WanDale Robinson, Year 2 of Jalin Hyatt and a weaker running game. The Giants could be a pass-heavy offense, and Dimes can add points with his legs too. No reason in a 1-QB league to take Geno Smith over him, for example. Same is true for Sam Darnold — if he wins the job, he’s got elite receivers, and Darnold is also somewhat mobile. Why bother taking Geno over him in a 1-QB league where you can find a replacement for free on waivers? I’m lower on the rookies, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. Williams isn’t much of a runner, and Chicago is a terrible place for quarterbacks, the myriad weapons around him, notwithstanding. Daniels maybe I’m too low on as he’s a mobile QB and has enough weapons. I’m just bearish on the Washington offense generally. **Running Back** My top-20 looks a lot like the ADP. I’m lower on Rachaad White and Derrick Henry. White isn’t that good, so I’m worried about him being outplayed. Henry won’t catch many passes and is getting long in the tooth. I’m higher on David Montgomery — think the Lions will still get him his 200-1,000-10. Maybe he shouldn’t be ahead of Henry though. I also am higher on Zack Moss, Javonte Williams and Devin Singletary. There’s no reason Moss can’t more or less be what Joe Mixon was last year, Williams is another year removed from the ACL tear and Singletary is the only game in town on what should be an improved offense and playing for a coach who knows him and wanted to sign him. I’m also lower on Alvin Kamara, Aaron Jones and Zamir White. The former two were drafted in 2017 and declining, while White isn’t that good, doesn’t have a lock on the job and isn’t much of a pass catcher. **Wide Receiver** My top-eight are roughly identical to the ADP, but apparently I’m a massive outlier on Stefon Diggs who I have at No. 9, but the market has at 24! The negatives on Diggs are his age — he’s 30 now, and he fell off precipitously in the second half last year. Even so, he caught 107 passes, and the Texans traded for him with a now-restructured contract that pays him $22.5M this year, i.e., he’s getting paid like a No. 1 and is incentivized to earn a new contract next year. There’s more competition for targets in Houston, but CJ Stroud might lead the league in passing attempts too. Accordingly, I’m lower on Nico Collins and Tank Dell who I think will lose target share to Diggs. Otherwise, it’s not too disparate. I’m lower on Michael Pittman whose role is secure, but I’m unclear on how reliable the Indy passing game will be and also George Pickens for similar reasons. **Tight End** These are pretty close if you sort by tiers. I’m higher on Dalton Kincaid who I expect to be Josh Allen’s top target and a little lower on Travis Kelce due to age-related risk. But this is mostly hair splitting. I like Jonnu Smith’s upside on the Dolphins, and it looks like I omitted Cade Otton by mistake.

This will be the first of two posts. This one will summarize what we know about the connection between punishment and providing public goods. The follow-up post will be in ~meta and will be my thoughts on how this applies to Stacker News, specifically. For the sake of brevity and clarity, I speak a little loosely in parts. ## What are public goods? A public good is an economic good that is neither rivalrous nor excludable in consumption. Ok, what does that mean? - Economic goods are anything with a positive equilibrium price; i.e. things people are willing to pay for. - Rivalrous goods can only be used by a single person; i.e. one person's use precludes someone else's use. - Excludable goods can only be used with the permission of the seller. So, a public good is something valuable that is available to everyone and usable by everyone. A common example of a public good is radio broadcasts. Once it's put out there anyone can receive it and my use won't prevent yours. The concern with public goods is under-provision. That's because each of us has an incentive to not pay for it, since we'll get it either way (as long as someone pays enough for it to be produced). That's the Free Rider Problem. There are many possible entrepreneurial solutions to overcome this (like inserting paid ads into the broadcast). Quick aside: the intentional combination of an economic good (the radio program) with an economic bad (the ads) is sometimes called a "kludge". ## The role of punishment Another solution to certain public goods situations, is to punish people for not chipping in. I'm most familiar with this in the setting of subsistence communities. Often, these communities have a communal food distribution because that acts as insurance for those who tried but had poor luck at hunting or fishing or whatever it is. Because they've created a public good out of their food supply, each member of the community now has an incentive to put in less effort, because they'll get to eat either way. If everyone shirks, though, there won't be enough food for the community. That's why shirking tends to be heavily punished in these communities. That punishment will generally come in the form of some type of ostracism, possibly including loss of access to the communal food. In that scenario, the public good was an artificial construct in the first place, so it was possible to exclude the bad actor. Also, as some of you probably thought, that food ends up being rivalrous if not enough was produced. Still, one way to deal with free-riding is to punish it sufficiently that it's preferrable to just do the work. ## Punishment itself can be a public good A punishment like ostracism is also costly to the punisher, assuming they value that relationship. I may be tempted not to ostracize my lazy friend, which makes him less likely to change his ways. If I choose to ostracize my friend, the cost is borne by me, but I share the benefits with the rest of the community. There are also scenarios where it's sufficient for one person to implement a punishment. This is basically the situation with criminal punishments. If I lock someone up for their antisocial behavior, the whole community benefits, but it comes at great expense to me. ## TL;DR In the context of producing public goods, punishing non-producers is itself a public good, because it produces benefits that are accessible to everyone. That means there likely won't be an optimal amount of punishment (dispersed benefits and concentrated costs), unless some other layer of compensation develops for those who do the punishing. ## Referrences Here are some publicly available sources for those who want to do a deep dive on the topic. I was initially going to tie them into this post, but I got carried away with my stream of consciousness and said most of what I wanted to say.

Like many of you I have been expecting Biden to announce he wasn't gonna accept the nomination for weeks now. Ever since the debate when the media turned on a dime calling for him to step aside. It was like this was the first time they saw what anyone paying attention could see. Anyone that uses their mind doesn't buy this act. The media and democrat leadership have known how bad Biden is for a long time. I really suspect that the debate was scheduled so early to give them time to switch horses if they had to do it. The public has been gaslit for some time by these people in media and politics. They claim that its just Trump supporters doctoring videos and making "cheap-fakes" to make Biden look bad. Its absurd. If you are a democrat you should realize at this point these people are liars. They are not your friends. They are using you. Yes, so is the other side but your team is deceiving you. So, on Sunday "Biden" announces he is not gonna accept the nomination. But he doesn't do so on camera or even with the traditional official letter head used by his admin. This could be because he is sick with Covid, or it could be that he didn't even put this out. Either way, there are powerful people pushing him out. Democracy is being threatened! By Trump? Now that he has "agreed" to not run will these same people push him out of office? My guess is that yes. They will try. Here's the pitch to Joe. Joe, you can go down in history as the man who humbly stepped down to allow a more capable woman do the job. I know, please stop laughing. I said this is how they could pitch it. It will be a historic event and people will forget all about your debate and failures. It will be your legacy. These sociopaths are obsessed with legacy. In reality the question is. If it is best for the country for him to not run for re-election now. Why should he even remain in power? Step down. It takes that question away from Trump and his team. I suspect a deal is in the works with the party and Harris now. The Biden family isn't dumb, even if Biden is slipping. They will be getting something out of all of this. Regardless, this is a historic time and I for one am enjoying watching the train wreck. I just hope it red pills more people. So much of the government of this nation is a sham. Its a big con job on the public. Politics is dirtier and more profane than Trump. Trump is profane. Don't get me wrong. He just doesn't put on the civil political act like everyone else. That's the real reason they hate him so much. For those of us that see this for what it is, its kinda beautiful. We are getting a peak at how it really works. No pretense. Just naked lust for power at any cost. The truth exposed. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/618603

https://image.nostr.build/bde258ff45b8017e3ce76aa733718beb302bea7a4b7fe9aff7ff3af1e788baab.png Pretty much all of the alternative crypto tokens to Bitcoin seem to have DAOs or insiders have managed to pre-mine themselves some extra tokens to give themselves an advantage. The bad thing about DAOs are that they are used to enrich insiders at the expense of token holders. Many may claim you can vote how they are spent based on your stake or other such *democracy*, but in reality, token distribution or other such mechanisms have been put in place to rig a fair distribution. We can see even with OpenSats that many supported projects stop a year later without any passion and commitment from the Devs. But at least these projects are not funded at the behest of existing Bitcoin holders. They require an honest funding mechanism. It seems at some point or another, the DAOs will get drained and in the name of the community. Even if you as part of the community disagree with the spending, there is nothing much you can do to stop it. Some chains may do scheduled unlocks to the insiders to gradually drain away value from token holders. You may ask yourself, why should they get this reward at your expense? The answer is often they have been early investors and taken the risk. This isn't exactly true because the early adopters of this tech were on Bitcoin and they have already made bank. The new tokens are just fresh money grabs often without providing any utility. Why store any value in these tokens if they are just money grabs and will not hold value over the long term against Bitcoin. High time preference people are those usually chasing the short term gains instead of thinking longer term.

These are my very preliminary WR rankings, my only research being the RotoWire depth charts and player notes. **Tier 1** **CeeDee Lamb, Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, AJ Brown** I thought about putting Lamb in his own tier since he’s in his prime and the dominant No. 1 on a pass-heavy team, but Hill is arguably a top-five all-time receiver, Chase projects just as highly over a full season if his QB is healthy, St. Brown is a target and receptions machine and Brown is a physical freak who is finally receiving the targets he deserves. **Tier 2** **Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua, Garrett Wilson, Stefon Diggs** Jefferson might be the best receiver in the game, but the quarterback downgrade lands him in the top of Tier 2. Nacua also could have been in Tier 1, given his rookie year, but the presence of a healthy Cooper Kupp might cut into his role slightly (apparently Kupp was never fully healthy last year.) Wilson managed to produce with abominable QB play last year, but the threat of Aaron Rodgers being toast or Davante Adams getting brought in keep him out of Tier 1. Diggs is getting older, but landed in an ideal situation. **Tier 3** **Drake London, Marvin Harrison, DJ Moore, Jaylen Waddle, Chris Olave, DeVonta Smith, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp** London gets a massive QB upgrade, Harrison is the clear No. 1 out of the gate, Moore gets an upgrade even with a rookie QB, though there’s a lot of competition for targets. Waddle, Olave and Smith are here based on their solid past production and skills, Adams is a wild card, depending on where he winds up and Kupp is an age and injury risk with Tier 1 upside if he somehow emerges as Matthew Stafford’s No. 1 again. **Tier 4** **Nico Collins, Michael Pittman Amari Cooper, Brandon Aiyuk, Tee Higgins, Deebo Samuel, Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Keenan Allen, Christian Kirk** These are all either quality second fiddles or top dogs with limited ceilings. I never draft Allen, and he always produces, but he’s 32, playing with a rookie QB and in a crowded receiving corps. Kirk has a nice floor as Trevor Lawrence’s likely top target again. I had Pittman at the bottom of this tier originally, but moved him up because he’s a clear No. 1, and what if Anthony Richardson is good? I used to like Metcalf more, but he’s just an okay NFL player despite other-wordly athleticism. **Tier 5** **Terry McLaurin, Zay Flowers, Malik Nabers, Ladd McConkey, Christan Watson, George Pickens, Jayden Reed, Marquise Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley ** This is an odd tier of has-beens, maybes, rookies and guys getting a shot. McLaurin probably has the highest floor, but is a boring pick. Reed has a good chance to emerge ahead of Watson and Romeo Doubs as Jordan Love’s go-to in Year 2, but Watson has the size and speed. I won’t stump for my Giant Nabers this year — though I traded Marvin Harrison for him and an extra pick in a dynasty league! — but I love that he’s only 20 and produced at such a high level in college. McConkey has a chance to be Justin Herbert’s top target right away, Flowers should be the co-No. 1 with Mark Andrews in Baltimore and Pickens is the No. 1 in Pittsburgh, though I don’t trust him or that passing offense at all. Marquise Brown has massive upside in Kansas City, but some competition with Xavier Worthy (who does the same thing) and Rashee Rice if he doesn’t got to jail. Ridley and Hopkins will see targets at least. **Tier 6** **Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Courtland Sutton, Diontae Johnson, Rashee Rice, Jordan Addison, Chris Godwin, Tank Dell, Jameson Williams, Gabe Davis, Rome Odunze, Jerry Jeudy, Adam Thielen, Romeo Doubs, Brian Thomas** Smith-Njigba could emerge at Seattle’s No. 1 with Lockett aging and Metcalf plateauing. Shaheed should get more targets with Michael Thomas gone, Sutton is the No. 1 in a bad offense, Johnson should catch a lot of passes, Rice could be Tier 2 or 3 once he gets finished with a likely suspension, Addison has his own legal problems from driving drunk, plus a QB downgrade, Godwin is a boring second fiddle now, Dell drops due to Diggs’ arrival, Williams is third fiddle in a good offense, Davis is probably just a guy, but should get targets, Odunze is in a crowded receiving corps, Jeudy is running out of time to break out, Thielen will get targets, Doubs is steady and reliable and Thomas has upside in a receiving corps without a star. **Tier 7** **Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman, Brandin Cooks, Xavier Worthy, Jakobi Meyers, Khalil Shakir, Tyler Lockett, Jahan Dotson, Mike Williams, Curtis Samuel, Rashod Bateman, Michael Wilson, Quentin Johnston** These are mostly just guys who should get targets. Worthy and Coleman are more upside than floor, but the rest are just here because the ball is probably coming their way.

Una alternativa a las redes sociales tradicionales, comunicaciónes, blogging, streaming, podcasting, y feventualmente el correo electronico (en fase de desarrollo) con características descentralizadas que te capacita, usario. Jamas seras molestado por un anuncio, capturado por una entidad centralizada o algoritmo que te monetiza. Permítame ser su anfitrión! Soy Onigiri! Yo estoy explorando el mundo de Nostr, un protocolo de comunicacíon decentralizada. Yo escribo sobre las herramientas y los desarolladores increíbles de Nostr que dan vida a esta reino.  ## Bienvenides a Nostr Wonderland Estas a punto de entrar a un otro mundo digtal que te hará explotar tu mente de todas las aplicaciones descentralizadas, clientes, sitios que puedes utilizar. Nunca volverás a ver a las comunicaciones ni a las redes sociales de la mesma manera. Todo gracias al carácter criptográfico de nostr, inpirado por la tecnología "blockchain". Cada usario, cuando crean una cuenta en Nostr, recibe un par de llaves: una privada y una publico. Estos son las llaves de tu propio reino. Lo que escribes, cantes, grabes, lo que creas - todo te pertenece.  ### Unos llaves de Oro y Plata Mi amigo y yo llamamos a esto "identidad mediante cifrado" porque tu identidad es cifrado. Tu puedes compartir tu llave de plata "npub" a otros usarios para conectar y seguir. Utiliza tu llave de oro "nsec" para accedar a tu cuenta y exponerte a muchas aplicaciones. Mantenga la llave a buen recaudo en todo momento. Ya no hay razor para estar enjaulado por los terminos de plataformas sociales nunca más. Onigirl ``` npub18jvyjwpmm65g8v9azmlvu8knd5m7xlxau08y8vt75n53jtkpz2ys6mqqu3 ``` ### Todavia No tienes un cliente? Seleccione la mejor opción. Encuentra la aplicación adecuada para ti! Utilice su clave de oro "nsec" para acceder a estas herramientas maravillosas. También puedes visit a esta pagina a ver a todas las aplicaciones. Antes de pegar tu llave de oro en muchas aplicaciones, considera un "signer" (firmante) para los sitios web 3. Por favor, mire la siguiente imagen para más detalles. Consulte también la leyenda.  ### Get a Signer extension via chrome webstore Un firmante (o "signer" en inglés) es una extensión del navegador web. Nos2x and NostrConnect son extensiónes ampliamente aceptado para aceder a Nostr. Esto simplifica el proceso de aceder a sitios "web 3". En lugar de copiar y pegar la clave oro "nsec" cada vez, la mantienes guardado en la extensión y le des permiso para aceder a Nostr.  ### 👉⚡⚡Obtén una billetera Bitcoin lightning para enviar/recibir Zaps⚡⚡ (Esto es opcional)  Aqui en Nostr, utilizamos la red Lightning de Bitcoin (L2). Nesitaras una cartera lightning para enviar y recibir Satoshis, la denominacion mas chiquita de un Bitcoin. (0.000000001 BTC) Los "zaps" son un tipo de micropago en Nostr. Si te gusta el contenido de un usario, es norma dejarle una propina en la forma de un ¨zap". Por ejemplo, si te gusta este contenido, tu me puedes hacer "zap" con Satoshis para recompensar mi trabajo. Pero apenas llegaste, as que todavia no tienes una cartera. No se preocupe, puedo ayudar en eso! "[Stacker.News](https://stacker.news/r/Hamstr)" es una plataforma donde los usarios pueden ganar SATS por publicar articulos y interactuar con otros.  Stacker.News es el lugar mas facil para recibir una direccion de cartera Bitcoin Lightning. 1. Acedese con su extensión firmante "signer" - Nos2x or NostrConnect - hace click en tu perfil, un codigo de letras y numeros en la mano superior derecha. Veás algo como esto  2. Haga clic en "edit" y elija un nombre que te guste. Se puede cambiar si deseas en el futuro.  3. Haga clic en "save" 4. Crea una biografía y la comunidad SN son muy acogedora. Te mandarán satoshi para darte la bienvenida. 5. Tu nueva direccion de cartera Bitcoin Lightning aparecerá asi  **^^No le mandas "zaps" a esta direccion; es puramente con fines educativos.** 6. Con tu **Nueva** dirección de monedero Bitcoin Lightning puedes ponerla en cualquier cliente o app de tu elección. Para ello, ve a tu **página de perfil** y bajo la dirección de tu monedero en "**Dirección Lightning**", introduce tu nueva dirección y pulsa **"guardar "** y ya está. Enhorabuena. 👉✨Con el tiempo, es posible que desee pasar a las opciones de auto-custodia y tal vez incluso considerar la posibilidad de auto-alojar su propio nodo LN para una mejor privacidad. La buena noticia es que stacker.news tambien está dejando de ser una cartera custodio. ⭐NIP-05-identidad DNS⭐ Al igual que en Twitter, una marca de verificación es para mostrar que eres del mismo jardín "como un humano", y no un atípico como una mala hierba o, "bot". Pero no de la forma nefasta en que lo hacen las grandes tecnológicas. En el país de las maravillas de Nostr, esto te permite asignar tu llave de plata, "npub", a un identificador DNS. Una vez verificado, puedes gritar para anunciar tu nueva residencia Nostr para compartir. ✨Hay un montón de opciones, pero si has seguido los pasos, esto se vuelve extremadamente fácil. 👉✅¡Haz clic en tu **"Perfil "**, luego en **"Configuración "**, desplázate hasta la parte inferior y pega tu *clave Silver*, **"npub!"** y haz clic en **"Guardar "** y ¡listo! Utiliza tu monedero relámpago de Stacker.news como tu NIP-05. ¡¡¡Enhorabuena!!! ¡Ya estás verificado! Dale unas horas y cuando uses tu cliente **"principal "** deberías ver una marca de verificación. ### Nostr, el infonformista de los servidores.  En lugar de utilizar una única instancia o un servidor centralizado, Nostr está construido para que varias bases de datos intercambien mensajes mediante "relés". Los relés, que son neutrales y no discriminatorios, almacenan y difunden mensajes públicos en la red Nostr. Transmiten mensajes a todos los demás clientes conectados a ellos, asegurando las comunicaciones en la red descentralizada. ### ¡Mis amigos en Nostr te dan la bienvenida! Bienvenida a la fiesta. ¿Le apetece un té?🍵  ### ¡Hay mucho mas! Esto es la punta del iceberg. Síguenme mientras continúo explorando nuevas tierras y a los desarolladores, los caballeres que potencioan este ecosistema. Encuéntrame aquí para mas contenido como este y comparten con otros usarios de nostr. Conozca a los caballeres que luchan por freedomTech (la tecnología de libertad) en Nostr y a los proyectos a los que contribuyen para hacerla realidad.💋 Onigirl @npub18jvyjwpmm65g8v9azmlvu8knd5m7xlxau08y8vt75n53jtkpz2ys6mqqu3 ---- 🧡😻Esta guía ha sido cuidadosamente traducida por miggymofongo Puede seguirla aquí. @npub1ajt9gp0prf4xrp4j07j9rghlcyukahncs0fw5ywr977jccued9nqrcc0cs sitio [web](https://miguelalmodo.com/)

My first post in this community is going to be a simple on i.e. not a recipe. However, if you'd like me to post the recipe, you know what to do. Last night's dinner was born out of the fact that we ran out of fresh alternatives of chicken or fish, our usual staples to have for dinner with salad. Since I felt lazy, it's the weekend after all, I didn't feel like going shopping, I started checking our pantry for something, for an inspiration. And inspiration struck in the form of: Garbanzo beans, also known as chick peas. We love those little bundles of healthy protein. Add them to salad, roast and spice them, make them into a pate or hummus or a good ol' German pea soup, they are extremely versatile. But what I had in mind was a protein main to be accompanied by a mixed greens salad with honey vinaigrette, hence I made **veggie burgers**. Earlier in the day we had talked about potato pancakes or hashbrowns or rösti in Switzerland. Luckily I had some potatoes on hand, unlucky for me they were small which makes them harder to hold when grating them. Yet somehow I managed to not get any of my fingers into the mix. And thus our **two patties dinner with salad** was created. I added a little roasted garlic aioli to the rösti and a spicy habanero aioli to the bean patty. https://cdn.satellite.earth/6c14c39a0a3809b8b66351e0a6187f7914d6befe1ddc4e68018a8bcf4c182ccf.jpg https://cdn.satellite.earth/dd759f338afc6f88e1bbc3cc803899e5b98661d846f6b5604d5695a6a585b253.jpg I dare say it was a pretty good dinner - yum!

# My suggestion for scaling up and staying humble ## The original protocol design was "good enough for now" When Nostr was invented and got started with developing implementations, the *Original Devs* (ODs) were convinced this was going to be big... maybe... someday... hopefully. But, whatever they did at the moment should definitely scale up a bit and be a bit flexible, to attract innovators and keep up the momentum. So, they designed the protocol to be open and left the specifications a bit vague and very high-level, so that nobody was forced into a particular implementation, in order to adhere to the spec. And they put the specs into a GitHub repository and managed them by a committee of collaborators, who were generally open to changes to the specs, including breaking changes. That was smart. And it was "good enough for now"... back then. After all, Nostr (and the associated wiki and modular article specs) hadn't been invented, yet, so they couldn't write the protocol in the protocol before the protocol existed. They're good, but not _that_ good. What they specifically wrote, into the [Nostr Protocol](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) was: > To promote interoperability, we standards (sic) that everybody can follow, and we need them to define a **single way of doing each thing** without ever hurting **backwards-compatibility**, and for that purpose there is no way around getting everybody to agree on the same thing and keep a centralized index of these standards... > > Standards may emerge in two ways: the first way is that someone starts doing something, then others copy it; the second way is that someone has an idea of a new standard that could benefit multiple clients and the protocol in general without breaking **backwards-compatibility** and the principle of having **a single way of doing things**, then they write that idea and submit it to this repository, other interested parties read it and give their feedback, then once most people reasonably agree we codify that in a NIP which client and relay developers that are interested in the feature can proceed to implement. # I disagree with this statement. I don't disagree with what they _meant_, or what they _wanted_, I disagree with what they specifically wrote. Standards (defined as prose specifications) are not the only -- or even best -- way to ensure interoperability or to check for backwards-compatibility. And, as they later note, basing a protocol off of implementations is arguably worse (but faster) than using specifications, as implementations have a life of their own and are sometimes simply shoddy or buggy, their content eventually differs from what ends up in the final standard, or there are soon multiple implementations covering the same spec "in theory", but not in practice, so that their events are incompatible. And then the inevitable, heated discussion begins: * Which implementation is the Real Standard™? * Who controls the Real Standard™? * How is the Real Standard™ spec supposed to be written? * Does everything have to be in the same file type or markup language? If not, how can we ensure compatibility? * What is realistic content for the data files? * Is the Real Standard™ including all of the information needed to ensure interoperability, but not anything more, without reducing innovation and artificially forcing consensus by encouraging copy-paste or forking of product code? ## There is a third way: write the test first We actually do not need standards to define a single way of doing each thing. A *test* is another way, and I think it is the best (i.e. the most-efficient and most-effective) way. Specifically, I think we can borrow the simple behavior-driven design (BDD) language called Gherkin (or something similar), which is used to write dynamic specifications: i.e. implementations that test adherence to a set of rules, rather than an implementation that uses the rules to perform some task for an end user. Gherkin simply allows you to create standard scenarios and test data and write the tests up in a way that can be performed manually or through automation. For example ( [source](https://www.pragmaticapi.com/blog/2013/01/21/bdd-atdd-for-your-agile-rest-api-part-2/) ):  (For a concrete example of such a TDD Protocol for Nostr, please see the [nostr-voliere repo](https://github.com/schmijos/nostr-voliere/tree/main/features) from nostr:npub1axy65mspxl2j5sgweky6uk0h4klmp00vj7rtjxquxure2j6vlf5smh6ukq .) ## This really is better This TDD Protocol design would have some downsides and some upsides, of course, like any change. ### Downsides * You can't write a TDD spec by yourself unless you understand basic software functionality, how to define an acceptance test, and can formulate a use case or user story. * The specs will be more informative and agnostic, but also longer and more detailed. * Someone will have to propose concrete test data (i.e. a complete json event) and spec interlinking will be explicit, rather than writing "...", "etc.", or "sorta like in that other section/doc, but not really" all over the place. * The specs will tend to focus on positive cases, and leave off error-handling or most edge-cases, so developers can't use them to replace unit tests or other verification of their product. ### Upsides * The specs will be concrete and clear, in a type of pseudocode, while leaving the actual implementation of any feature up to the individual developer, who uses the spec. * The specs will be orderly and uniquely-identifiable, and can have hierarchy and granularity (major and minor tests, optional tests, tests only under certain conditions, etc.) * Deciding whether changes to the spec are breaking changes to the protocol would be simple to determine: Does the previous test still pass? * Specs will always be final, they will simply be versioned and become more or less defined over time, as the tests are adjusted. * Product developers will feel less like they "own" particular specs, since their implementation is actually what they own and the two remain permanently separate. * Developers can create an implementation list, defining specific tests in specific versions, that they adhere to. This makes it more transparent, what their product actually does, and lowers their own documentation burden. * Rather than stalking the NIPs for changes, or worrying about what some other implementation someplace has built, developers can just pull the repo and try running the relevant tests. * Each product developer can test the spec by trying to perform or automate/run it, and request changes to ensure testability, raising the quality of the spec review process. This is already a lot to think about, so I'm just going to end this here. Thank you for reading.

It's been a while since I've scolded everyone for their miserliness. The recent archiving of some popular territories inspired me to make another attempt. Plus, there are quite a few new stackers who haven't been scolded, yet. I'll keep this one short and sweet: 1. Territory owners need to make about 100 kilosats per month. 2. They earn their sats through posting fees. 3. OP's need to recoup their posting costs through zaps. Therefore, when there's content you like, zap big and zap often. If there's a lack of content you like, cowboy up and write it yourself. We just might make it worth your while. Zapping more can pay for itself through the rewards system (see: https://stacker.news/items/287074/r/Undisciplined and https://stacker.news/items/473181/r/Undisciplined) Also, zapping more will make Stacker News more aligned with what you want it to be: https://stacker.news/items/523858/r/Undisciplined. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/614066

@ 6bae33c8:607272e8

These are my very preliminary RB rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1 Christian McCaffrey** He’s 28 years old, has 1,402 career carries including the postseason and weighs only 205 pounds at 5-11. But McCaffrey is arguably the greatest running back all time, when you include the pass catching, and he’s in the league’s best system for backs. Health is really the only variable, and anyone can get hurt. **Tier 2 Breece Hall, Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Taylor** These are the three-down backs with elite skill sets. Hall should be better another year removed from the ACL tear and playing with a better QB, Robinson should get the heavy usage he merits with Arthur Smith gone, Barkley finally gets a quality offensive line and QB and Taylor plays next to a running QB and has little competition for carries. **Tier 3 Jahmyr Gibbs, De’Von Achane, Kyren Williams, Travis Etienne** These are the little guys, all of whom can run and catch passes, plus Etienne. Williams is the biggest risk as an early-down high-workload guy, but he was also insanely productive when he played in Sean McVay’s lead-back-friendly system. Gibbs seems like peak Alvin Kamara, only faster and Achane in the Miami offense was the most efficient back in league history by a mile. I originally had Etienne in Tier 4, but he doesn’t have much competition for the job and should be a three-down back. **Tier 4 Isaiah Pacheco, Josh Jacobs, Joe Mixon, James Cook, David Montgomery, Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker, Racchad White, James Conner, Rhamondre Stevenson, Zack Moss, Javonte Williams, Devin Singletary ** This is a big tier, but these are all the incomplete players guaranteed reps if healthy. Pacheco could be moved to Tier 3, but Patrick Mahomes doesn’t check down to the back all that often, and Pacheco rarely gets to 20 carries in a game. Jacobs is a beast but has a ton of mileage in a short span and fell off last year. Mixon is another old warhorse with a lot of mileage, albeit also in a good situation. Cook suffers due to Josh Allen’s goal-line prowess and tendency to take off rather than check down. Montomgery will cede the third-down work, Henry is old and doesn’t catch many passes, Walker splits carries, gets hurt often, White is a ham and egger who happened to see a huge workload, Conner is 29 and always misses time, Stevenson is a workhorse on a bad team, Moss is an average back in a good spot, Williams is another year off the injury, but on a bad team and Singletary is the clear lead back on a poor offense. **Tier 5 Tony Pollard, D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Brooks, Alvin Kamara, Brian Robinson, Jaylen Warren, Austin Ekeler, Chuba Hubbard, Zamir White, Raheem Mostert, Aaron Jones, Najee Harris, Nick Chubb, Tyjae Spears, Trey Benson, Zach Charbonnet ** These are mostly timeshare backs, with the exception of Kamara whose efficiency fell through the floor and White who I’m not convinced will lock down the job all year. **Tier 6 Kenneth Gainwell, Rico Dowdle, Gus Edwards, Jerome Ford, Zeke Elliott, Roschon Johnson, Jaylen Wright, Bucky Irving, JK Dobbins, Antonio Gibson, Chase Brown, Elijah Mitchell, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Algeier, MarShawn Lloyd** This is the backup tier, all of whom probably need an injury ahead of them to break out. These rankings will change, but I like to get my preliminary ones down on paper before I get influenced by ADP and training camp hype.

NBC reports that a suspicious person was received an hour before a gunman opened fire at former President Donald Trump, a senator said. U.S. officials learned of an alleged Iranian plot to kill Trump weeks before the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, sources said, adding that nothing indicated the two were connected. The Department of Homeland Security said its inspector general would investigate the Secret Service's security operation at Saturday's rally. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said that "the buck stops with me" and that the assassination attempt Saturday "should have never happened." That is to say, there are all kinds of threats to Trump's security. But why isn't enough being done to protect it? When Trump wins the election, will the Secret Service really take care of his security? Or are you going to continue ignoring reports and threats to your life? Do some groups want him dead and don't even bother to hide it? That is to say, it is obvious that they want it, but are there no plans to stop an assassination that is announced without any shame? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/612126

Bitcoiners have been saying this for a while. The firearms community needs to adopt bitcoin before they have no other options. Few have headed this advice. I went to YouTube today a saw a video from a very popular firearms training channel called Hickok45. The released a video titled [Bad News - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KWxaOmVNBE) where they let their subscribers know about the uncertainty of their future due to YouTube's new policy banning firearms advertising. YouTube is of course within their rights to do this but that's not a solution to the problem. The problem goes deeper. Credit card processors and companies as well as banks have and could increase their censorship of firearms purchases. Bitcoin fixes this. As far as the video hosting problem there are other platforms that will likely open their doors to these trainers and educators but that isn't good enough. Nostr is new but I see it as the most hopeful solution coupled with bitcoin over lightning. Over the past week I've been experimenting with [satellite.earth](https://satellite.earth/) CDN file hosting service. I've been pretty impressed by it. Its very new but it seems like a real solution to the file hosting centralization problem for Nostr. I've tried in the past to make the case for bitcoin to gun owners and few seem to see the problem. I think this is largely due to their faulty belief in the state. There are some companies that have adopted bitcoin. The only one that I'm aware of is [Fenix Ammunition](https://fenixammo.com/). Anyone aware of others? originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/612067

@ 6bae33c8:607272e8

These are my very preliminary QB rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1** **Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts** I don’t know who Allen will throw to other than Dalton Kincaid, but he needs only 25-ish TD passes to be the QB1 if he stays healthy, given all the rushing numbers. Hurts is second only because he’s not as good in real life, and there’s some small risk of implosion, skills-wise. But 10-plus TDs on the ground creates its own tier. **Tier 2** **Patrick Mahomes, Anthony Richardson, Lamar Jackson** What’s odd about this tier is how different these players are. Mahomes, despite a poor 2023 regular season, gets in because he’s the GOAT, and Andy Reid is a arguably the greatest offensive coach of all time. Richardson could easily be the 1.1, but injury risk and lack of track record give him a much lower floor. Jackson doesn’t get the goal line looks that often, especially with Derrick Henry in tow, but obviously his running gives him a huge lift. **Tier 3** **CJ Stroud, Kyler Murray, Jordan Love, Dak Prescott** Stroud has a loaded receiving corps now with Stefon Diggs on the team, and he’d be my bet to lead the league in passing yards. But he doesn’t run much, and that caps his ceiling slightly. I almost put him in Tier 2 because you can make the case he’s basically Mahomes with 200 fewer rushing yards. Murray is another year off his ACL tear, runs a lot and gets Marvin Harrison. It’s still an open question whether he’s good, though. Love looks like a player, runs a little and has young, developing wideouts. Prescott is in a pass-heavy offense, has an elite WR1 and is the ultimate stat-padder which works in fantasy. (You could just push all four into Tier 2 and make it seven deep, as the cutoff is a bit arbitrary.) **Tier 4** **Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Brock Purdy, Kirk Cousins, Tua Tagovailoa, Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence** This is the tier of the passing-only QBs with the exception of Herbert who can run, but might be hamstrung by a run-heavy offense, and Lawrence, who might not be good. I would gamble on Herbert’s athleticism and skills nonetheless if he falls into this tier. And Lawrence gets a much-needed rookie deep threat which could open things up. Burrow is Tier 3 if he would stay healthy, but he obviously carries more risk on that front, and I don’t think he’ll run much now. **Tier 5** **Deshaun Watson, Daniel Jones, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, Caleb Williams, Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith** Watson might be cooked, but there’s still upside if he can run like he used to. Jones has a big ceiling with his mobility and Malik Nabers on the team. Stafford has two top receivers and a great offensive coach. Rodgers is old, but he has weapons now, and Williams has a loaded receiving corps. People might laugh at Darnold in this tier, but he’s mobile and has Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson. If he keeps the job (a big if), he has upside, which is what you want in this tier. Mayfield and Smith are solid and boring, which is also fine if you wait forever on QB. Daniels’ mobility puts him here instead of the scrub tier. **Tier 6 (Scrubs)** **Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, Will Levis, Drake Maye, Raiders QBs, Bo Nix** These are the scrubs. One or two might not turn out to be scrubs, but it’s hard to get excited about any of them. These rankings will change, but I like to get my preliminary ones down on paper before I get influenced by ADP and training camp hype.

@ 6bae33c8:607272e8

These are my very preliminary TE rankings, my only research being the [RotoWire depth charts](https://www.rotowire.com/football/nfl-depth-charts/) and player notes. **Tier 1 ** **Sam LaPorta** He gets his own tier because he’s the only TE for whom there are no red flags. Most TEs do very little as rookies, while LaPorta was a rare exception and should only get better. His competition for targets is perfect — a true No.1 receiver, a play-making field-stretcher and a speedy running back, i.e., defenses have to account for multiple threats, but it’s not too crowded for LaPorta to see 140-odd targets in Year 2. **Tier 2 ** **Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Evan Engram, Trey McBride, Travis Kelce, George Kittle ** Kelce is the fantasy GOAT, but he turns 35 in October, and age catches up to everyone eventually. Andrews gets hurt a lot, but he should still be Lamar Jackson’s favorite target when healthy. Kincaid might lead the Bills in targets, and in Year 2 could take the leap to TE1. But unlike LaPorta, he hasn’t quite done it yet. Engram caught 114 passes last year, and Calvin Ridley is gone, so I don’t see his role diminishing much. McBride is a rising star in a good situation with only Marvin Harrison, Jr. to compete with for targets. And Kittle is a star when healthy and could see more looks if Brandon Aiyuk is traded. **Tier 3** **T.J. Hockenson, Kyle Pitts, Jake Ferguson, David Njoku, Cole Kmet, Brock Bowers** There’s no doubt about Hockenson’s talent, but the downgrade to Sam Darnold or J.J. McCarthy could be steep. Pitts can *still* be the 1.1 with a competent quarterback, but at this point there’s *some* O.J. Howard risk (great athlete, average NFL player.) Ferguson is just in a great spot with the Cowboys and their thin group of pass catchers after CeeDee Lamb. Njoku looked like a guy who belonged in the first round seven years ago, and it’s not that unusual for TEs to take some time to peak. (Njoku took longer than most, but like Engram, some of that was probably due to poor QB play early on.) Kmet’s got a lot more competition for targets, but also a likely QB upgrade, and he’s still young and on the upswing. Bowers is a home run swing — he might do nothing as a rookie, but could also be the Raiders 1A to Davante Adams out of the gate. **Tier 4 ** **Dalton Schultz, Dallas Goedert, Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith** If I were to get shut out from the top-three tiers, I’d be okay with any of these guys. Schultz will have a role in a top passing offense, even if it’s a secondary one. Goedert has never really put it together, but is still in a good spot in the Eagles top-heavy offense. Freiermuth is a good pass catcher and could see more opportunities with the trade of Diontae Johnson. Smith is a wild card. His floor is basically zero as he could be used to block, but his upside is Tier 2 if the Dolphins indeed make him the No. 3 option in their fast-paced offense. **Tier 5 (scrubs) ** **Hunter Henry, Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tyler Conklin, Mike Gesicki** You never know, one of them might bust out, and there are others not listed, but it would be hard to count on these guys. Gesicki intrigues me a bit since he used to be productive, and the Bengals are thin after their star receivers, but they never seem to use the TE much.

Stacker.News if a website that may be familiar to most nostriches. But in case it is not, stacker.news is effectively a forum-style website that functions similar to reddit. But, with the very cool feature that sending sats works as the 'upvote' function. It's a great site, so check it out regardless of what I am about to break down. One of the great features of Stacker News is that you get a custodial lightning wallet with your account. This wallet comes with a lightning address as well. Now, this alone is not unique or entirely useful. What makes Stacker News stand out is the way you can configure this wallet to interact with your self-hosted lightning stack. Now, I'm not just talking about the power user that is running their own node (although they do have useful configuration for those users). But, the lighter users that may be using a mobile wallet, such as mutiny, zeus, blixt, phoenix can use Stacker News to improve their zap receiving game. Before I get into how, I want to highlight two great options to receive zaps via ln address if you are using a 'node in the phone solution.' The two options are zaplocker, provided as a solution for users of Zeus' embedded lightning node wallet, and lightning box, provided as a solution for users of the Blixt embedded lightning node wallet. Here is a summary of these two ln address solutions: - Zaplocker: Zaplocker is an ln address provided for Zeus embedded node users. The way zaplocker works is that the sats are held temporarily in Zeus' node (for up to 24 hours), and once you log into your Zeus app and access the embedded node, you can redeem the sats. This can be made easier by setting your Zeus app to automatically redeem and sats awaiting redemption upon logging in, and there is also a persistent mode that can help the app stay on in the background. If the app is on in the background and you have turned on the auto redemption feature, it will function more or less to automatically receive sats much like a custodial wallet or a node you are running on a server - Lightning Box: Lightning Box is an ln address provided for users of Blixt wallet. The way lightning box works is that, as long as you have a channel opened with the blixt wallet node and it has inbound liquidity, you can receive sats to the lightning box ln address. You have to set blixt wallet to persistent mode as part of using lightning box, which makes it more likely that your app will be running in the background and will successfully facilitate receipt of sats sent to the lightning box ln address. Unlike zaplocker, there is no 24 hour redemption time ; if your blixt wallet is not running in the background when the send is attempted, you will not receive the sats. So, these both sound like great solutions and a pleb need not do anything else, right ? Wrong. Both are not perfect solutions, with the main issue being that even with persistent app settings, the apps will inevitably close because phones seem to do that for one unknown reason or another. Or a connection will be lost, and your app will not be running to receive the sats. Or if you want t run the apps over tor, your very likely to have a connection inturrupted. Now, with zeus you still have 24 hours to open it up, sync up your node and receive but we want to up our game so that a user does not have a chance to lose zaps. Enter Stacker News. By Creating a stacker news account (you can even do so with using your blixt or zeus wallet to log in and create your account!), you now have an ln address you can use in place of your zaplocker or lightning box address. Use that stacker news address for receiving zaps on your nostr account. In your stacker news account, go to the wallet link, and click 'Attach Wallets'. Next, click 'configure' under the ln address option. Input your zaplocker or lightning box address. If you want, you can configure stacker news to withdraw automatically by setting the 'desired balance' to 0 sats. There will be a moment of custody, but it is a few seconds in my experience. So, what have we just done and what's the improvement? Well, zaps you receive are going to be received to your stacker news ln address now. The improvement is that the stacker news node is on all the time, and you do not risk missing payments much like one can expect from say a Wallet of Satoshi ln address. With the configuration we made, the stacker news wallet is going to automatically withdraw sats received to your custody in your zaplocker or lightning box. For example: In the event that you are asleep, and your zeus or blixt wallet is not online for hours while nostriches across the globe are zapping the crap out of your viral post, your sats are sitting comftorably in your stacker news wallet. You will fire up your Zeus or Blixt app, and proceed to watch the sats flow into your custody from your stacker news wallet. The result of this setup is a pleb who is not running an 'on all the time' node can experience a comparable receiving experience with minimal custodial exposure. I encourage any pleb, especially those using zaplocker due to the potential harm it can cause to the lightning network, to consider this setup. Let me know what your experience is or, for users already leveraging the Stacker News ln address, I'd be curious to hear about your configuration. Thanks for reading, hopefully someone finds this article helpful! #bitcoin #lightning #zeus #blixt originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/609313

### The probability of AGI ending us is negative. A common tactic among doomers is to state something along the lines of the following: "If we create AGI, there is some non-zero chance every year, that the AGI will end humanity. Whatever that chance is compounds every year, and is thus unacceptable." The question I would ask the doomer is **"How do you know that the chance of AGI ending humanity isn't negative?"** What does it mean for AGI to have a negative chance of ending humanity? Setting aside AGI for a moment, what is the chance every year that humanity ends from other events, such as nuclear war, solar flares, super-volcanoes, asteroid hits, societal collapse, etc? How do you even answer this question in a reasonable manner? Well lets look at past data. Of all species that have existed 99% have gone extinct. Of our closest 7 relatives from the genus Homo, 100% have gone extinct. On a higher level looking at civilizational collapse. According to Wikipedia, [virtually all](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse) historical societies have collapsed. Looking out into the universe, we see no signs of life elsewhere, so if there was life in the past we can assume that they have gone extinct. It would therefore be reasonable to say that the chance of our extinction is very high even without AGI, well above 90%. Maybe 99%. You could argue the numbers but at least with these numbers we are using some past data to extrapolate the future, where the doomers are using no data whatsoever to support their numbers. We can also state, that of all the species and societies that have collapsed in the past, they have done so because they did not yet have the knowledge on how to survive. They didn't know how to create antibiotics, or generate enough energy, or defend themselves from the environment. What is AGI? AGI is a way to create knowledge. Most all societies in the past have collapsed because they didn't have the knowledge on how to survive, and the doomer argument is that we should slow down our ability to create knowledge, when we know that this has been precisely the problem in the past. It is a certainty we will all die without more knowledge then we have now. The future death of our sun ensures that. We have to create the knowledge on how to survive, and that is what AGI does - it creates knowledge. AGI most certainly has a negative probability of ending humanity.

... something else This is the final image. Or is it? Likely, it is not. I have already started on a *perfect* version of my ***Mother Earth ***painting. Of course, there is no such thing as a **perfect** painting. What I mean is that I already started on a vector version of Mother Earth. You're familiar with vector vs. pixel, right? But let's start at the beginning, not the end. This here is a pic from the sketching phase. I am not one who can just magically and with a few strokes produce an amazing sketch of something that resembles a human. There are artists out there that do this wonderfully. It's amazing but it is not me (unfortunately).  Here I am starting to color in the sketch with a watercolor brush. This is all done in Procreate App on an iPad Pro. The coloring is on a separate layer with the pencil sketch set to multiply to shine through the colors. That's why the pencil strokes now are black. I like that look.  And here, I am almost done. Just need to decide on the background color. And as you can see from the gif and video I didn't really decide. Though at the moment I am favoring that muted pinkish red - LOL  Which color is your favorite?   Here you can see the whole process in a timelapse. Above pictures were grabbed from it to detail the process a little. https://cdn.satellite.earth/05774dcaaf4679c34cbeb46cb43b4c4f85553a3d2b4850a7256d26a871b0c4f3.mp4 And that's it my Nostr friends for my first longform post in this community.

Anna Britt Agnsäter ผู้อุทิศชีวิตให้โภชนาการ แต่โดนโลกบูลลีเพราะอเมริกา? โลกรับรู้ว่า คุณ Anna Britt Agnsäter (ขอเรียกสั้นๆว่า ป้าแอน) เป็นผู้ที่นำเสนอ ปิรามิดอาหาร คนแรกของโลก และเป็นแบบจำลองที่ทาง USDA นำไปพัฒนาปรับใช้แล้วนำมาเป็น แบบที่ใช้สื่อสารกับคนทั้งโลก ในเรื่องของการกำหนด ประเภทอาหารที่ควรกิน ในช่วงปี 1992-2005 ซึ่งในบทความที่แล้วผมได้เขียนว่า ปิรามิดเวอร์ชั่นที่ป้าแอนคิด กับ ที่อเมริกาเอาไปปรับใช้เป็นคนละตัวกัน แต่โลกทั้งโลกก็บูลลีป้าเอนว่า เป็นสาเหตุของการทำลายสุขภาพคนทั้งโลก ทั้งๆที่ไม่ได้เป็นนักวิทยาศาสตร์ ผมก็เป็นคนนึงที่เคยคิดแบบนั้นครับ และเคยอุทานในใจเบาๆว่า แกเป็นใครนะทำไมถึงนำเสนออะไรแบบนี้มาทำร้ายคนทั้งโลก??? **นานวันเข้า ความคิดอีกฝั่งของผมก็บอกมาว่า ประโยคข้างบนเป็นคำบ่นหรือคำถาม** นั่นสิ!!!!! ถ้ามันเป็นคำถาม มันจะทำให้เราได้รู้จักตัวตนป้าแอนและเข้าใจว่าแกได้ทำอะไรลงไปนะ มันควรเป็นคำถามมากกว่าคำบ่น นั่นเลยเป็นเหตุผลที่ทำให้ผมเริ่มขุดเรื่องป้าแอน Anna Britt Agnsäter มากที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ พร้อมที่จะอ่านกันแล้วใช่ไหมครับ Anna Britt Agnsäter เกิดเมื่อปี 1915 ที่เมือง Älmhult ประเทศสวีเดน (นอกเรื่องนิดนึง เมืองนี้คือเมืองที่ให้กำเนิด IKEA ที่เรารู้จักกันดีเรื่องเฟอร์นิเจอร์ ที่นี่มีพิพิธภัณฑ์อิเกีย ซึ่งปรับปรุงมาจากโกดังแห่งแรกของเขาด้วยครับ) เรียกได้ว่า เกิดในช่วงสงครามโลกครั้งที่1 พอดีเลยครับ ป้าแอน จบการศึกษาที่โรงเรียนสตรี ในเมือง Ystad ก่อนจะเข้ารับการฝึกสอนเพื่อเป็นครูสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือน (rural domestic science teacher) ในช่วงปี 1930 ที่โรงเรียนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทชื่อว่า Rimforsa ก่อนจะได้รับวุฒิการศึกษาการสอนวิทยาศาสตร์ในครัวเรือนในชนบทในปี 1939 จาก Kvinnliga medborgarskola (civic women’s school) จนกระทั่ง ปี 1943 ถึง 1945 เธอได้เดินทางไปทั่ว Norrland (พื้นที่ภาคเหนือของสวีเดน) โดยได้รับเงินสนับสนุนจาก Kooperativa Förbund (เรียกสั้นๆว่า KF หรือ สมาคมสหกรณ์ ก่อตั้งขึ้นในปี 1899 โดยสหกรณ์ผู้บริโภคในท้องถิ่น 41 แห่ง เป็นผู้นำด้านการค้าปลีกในสวีเดนโดยพัฒนารูปแบบร้านค้าใหม่และใหญ่ขึ้น และเป็นหนึ่งในกลุ่มธุรกิจหลักในสแกนดิเนเวีย ในสมัยนี้คำว่าสหกรณ์อาจจะดูเชยๆ แต่ต้องเข้าใจครับว่ายุคนั้นคือความก้าวหน้ามากๆ และต้องมีความรู้รอบด้านทั้งวิทยาศาสตร์ เศรษฐกิจ การเมือง) เพื่อบรรยายให้คนหนุ่มสาวและแม่บ้านฟังเกี่ยวกับวิธีรับมือกับเสบียงที่มีจำกัดในช่วงสงครามที่ตึงเครียด เนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะสงครามโลกครั้งที่2  **ในปี 1946** ป้าแอนได้รับการแต่งตั้งเป็นหัวหน้าของSwedish Cooperative Union หรือ Kooperativa Förbundets (KF) Provkök (experimental kitchen หรือ ภาษาสมัยนี้น่าจะใกล้เคียงกับ kitchen lab นั่นเอง) ซึ่งเป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลทางด้านอาหารเป็นอย่างมากในสวีเดน มีบทบาทสำคัญในเศรษฐกิจและสังคมสวีเดน โดยสร้างโอกาสให้แก่สมาชิกและส่งเสริมการพัฒนาที่ยั่งยืนในชุมชนต่าง ๆ ทั่วประเทศ ป้าแอนทำงานที่นี่นานจนถึงช่วงปี 1980 ขนาดของ KF ก็ใหญ่โตขึ้นมากมาย จนขยายอำนาจและขอบเขตการทำงานไปถึงการเป็นคณะกรรมการทดสอบรสชาติซึ่งทดสอบอาหารกึ่งสำเร็จรูปและอาหารสำเร็จรูปใหม่ด้วย ในจุดนี้ ป้าแอน เล็งเห็นความสำคัญและความรับผิดชอบของผู้ผลิต/ผู้ค้าอาหาร ควรจะขยายความรับผิดชอบครอบคลุมไปจนถึงโต๊ะอาหาร (ในที่นี่น่าจะหมายถึงลูกค้า) นั่นคือเหตุผลที่การติดฉลากอาหารจึงมีความสำคัญมาก ป้าแอนได้มุ่งเน้นให้ความรู้กับผู้บริโภคว่า ‘Weigh up the price against the quality’ หรือ ให้ชั่งน้ำหนักพิจารณาให้ดี ระหว่างราคากับคุณภาพ ตลอดระยะเวลาการทำงาน Anna-Britt Agnsäter ได้รณรงค์เพื่อให้มีการแสดงข้อมูล ให้ผู้บริโภครับทราบ เพื่อคุณภาพชีวิตที่ดีขึ้นและได้ให้คำแนะนำด้านโภชนาการ เพื่อให้เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น ในรูปแบบ**ฉลากโภชนาการ** **ในปี 1946** เช่นกันป้าแอนได้มีแผนในการทำ มีแผนที่จะผลิตหนังสือสอนทำอาหารสำหรับสถานการณ์ฉุกเฉิน เพราะบทเรียนในภาวะสงครามโลก ที่ป้าแอนผ่านมาตลอด แต่ไม่สามารถพิมพ์ออกมาได้เนื่องจากกระดาษขาดแคลนเนื่องจากอยู่ในภาวะหลังสงคราม **ในปี 1948-1949** ป้าแอนเดินทางไปอเมริกา เพื่อศึกษาเทคนิคการทำอาหารใหม่ๆ การผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารแช่แข็ง รวมถึงอาหารผงแห้งต่างๆ (dry powder) รวมไปถึงวิทยาศาสตร์การอาหาร (food science) ที่มหาวิทยาลัย Iowa State University การเดินทางมาอเมริกาครั้งนี้เปลี่ยนโลกของป้าแอนเป็นอย่างมาก ในตอนที่ป้าทำงานกับ KF เธอมักจะร่วมงานกับ Hemmens Forskningsinstitut (สถาบันวิจัยในประเทศ) เพื่อจัดหาเครื่องมือในครัวที่ยกระดับมาตรฐานการทำอาหารที่ดียิ่งขึ้น รวมถึงอุปกรณ์การครัว ภาชนะต่างๆที่เข้าเตาอบได้ และจากประสบการณ์ที่อเมริกานี้ ป้าแอนได้จับมือกับ โรงงานเครื่องเคลือบและพลาสติก Gustavsberg และ HFI Anna-Britt Agnsäter พัฒนาช้อนตวง ชุด4ชิ้น ที่วางซ้อนกันได้ ซึ่งเป็นการปฎิวัติวงการอาหารครั้งสำคัญของสวีเดน เรียกว่า **“ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน”** ซึ่งจะมีการระบุขนาดที่ชัดเจน 4 ชิ้น ประกอบไปด้วย  ซึ่งทำให้ผู้ใช้สามารถวัดปริมาณวัตถุดิบได้อย่างถูกต้องตามที่สูตรอาหารกำหนด กลายเป็นเครื่องมือที่จำเป็นในครัวเรือนและการประกอบอาหารในเชิงพาณิชย์ แม้การพัฒนา “ชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน” นี้จะเริ่มต้นในสวีเดน แต่นวัตกรรมนี้มีผลกระทบที่กว้างขวางและแพร่หลายไปยังครัวเรือนและอุตสาหกรรมอาหารทั่วโลกจนถึงปัจจุบัน   ในชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน original 4 คุณอาจสังเกตคำนึงที่ไม่ค่อยคุ้นสักเท่าไรคือหน่วย **kryddmått** นอกจากชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐานแล้ว ป้าแอนยังคิดค้นสิ่งต่างๆอีกมากมาย ให้กับวงการอาหารสวีเดน รวมถึงหน่วยวัดใหม่ที่เรียกว่า **kryddmått** นี้ด้วยครับ ซึ่งมันเป็นหน่วยวัดขนาดเล็กที่ใช้ในการตวงเครื่องเทศและวัตถุดิบปริมาณน้อย โดยหน่วยวัดนี้มีขนาด 1 มิลลิลิตร (ml)ซึ่งถูกกำหนดมาเป็นหน่วยที่เล็กที่สุดซึ่งทำให้มีการจดบันทึกสูตรได้แม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น นั่นเพราะว่า การตวงเครื่องเทศ หรือ เกลือ นั้นหากรสชาติที่เข้มข้น หรือมีการใช้มากเกินไปหรือไม่พออาจทำให้รสชาติของอาหารเปลี่ยนไป การใช้ kryddmått ช่วยให้การวัดปริมาณเครื่องเทศที่ใช้ในสูตรอาหารเป็นไปอย่างแม่นยำและสม่ำเสมอ  ถือว่าเป็นอีกผลงานคุโณปการที่ป้าแอน ฝากไว้ให้กับโลกนี้ มันมีส่วนสำคัญในการทำให้งานครัวเรือนง่ายขึ้นและมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้นผ่านการพัฒนาหน่วยวัดที่แม่นยำและสะดวกในการใช้งาน นวัตกรรมนี้ช่วยให้การทำอาหารเป็นไปอย่างราบรื่นและมีคุณภาพสูงยิ่งขึ้น  **ในปี 1951** ป้าแอนได้บูรณะหนังสือการทำอาหารประจำสวีเดนใหม่ทั้งหมด (Vår kokbok) จุดประสงค์ของตำราอาหาร Vår คือการนำเสนอตำราอาหารราคาต้นทุนวัตถุดิบไม่แพง ที่ให้ความรู้เรื่องสารอาหารและใช้งานง่าย นอกจากนี้ยังเป็นการวางวัตถุดิบให้ได้รับสารอาหารที่เพียงพออีกด้วย เพราะในยุคนั้นสวีเดนมีข้อจำกัดในเรื่องอาหารเป็นอย่างมาก เนื้อหาสูตรอาหารที่ใช้ในหนังสือเล่มนี้กลายเป็นบรรทัดฐานในช่วงทศวรรษ 1950 โดยมีการใช้หน่วยชั่งตวงแบบใหม่ ตามชุดช้อนตวงมาตรฐาน (ปริมาตร) จากของเดิมที่ใช้การชั่งน้ำหนัก ใช้ศัพท์ในการทำอาหารแบบเป็นสากล เช่น ขูด ปอกเปลือก ล้าง เป็นต้น (grate, peel, rinse) จัดอาร์ทเวิคให้แต่ละสูตร สามารถจบได้ในหน้าเดียวไม่ต้องพลิกอ่านหน้าต่อๆไป ทำให้สะดวกในการเปิดแล้วทำตาม การไล่ลำดับอาหาร เปลี่ยนจากการไล่ประเภทอาหาร ไปเป็นไล่ลำดับตามวัตถุดิบหลักของอาหาร ทำให้คนอ่านสามารถบริหารจัดการเมนูได้ง่าย เช่น ไก่ ก็สามารถไล่เรียงได้เลยว่า วันนี้มีไก่ จะทำอะไรกินดี นอกจากนี้ยังรับประกันว่าทุกสูตรสามารถทำได้จริง เพราะป้าแอนลงมือทดสอบสูตรด้วยตัวเองทุกสูตร นอกจากนี้ยังคงมีการแนะนำให้ใช้การวัดอุณหภูมิในการทำอาหารด้วยเพื่อความเป๊ะในรสชาติ เนื่องจากป้าแอนเห็นตอนไปดูงานที่อเมริกา จนถึงทุกวันนี้ Vår kokbok เป็นหนึ่งในตำราอาหารที่ขายมากที่สุดในโลกด้วยยอดขายมากกว่า 2.3 ล้านเล่มนับตั้งแต่เริ่มต้น โดยเฉลี่ยมากกว่า 40,000 เล่มต่อปี   ด้วยความที่ Kooperativa Förbundets เป็นองค์กรที่มีอิทธิพลสูงมากในวงการอาหารสวีเดน และคุณป้าแอน ก็มีตำแหน่งที่สูงมาก จึงสามารถเป็นผู้มีส่วนสนับสนุนรูปแบบซูเปอร์มาร์เก็ตสมัยใหม่ ในการใส่รายการส่วนผสมและคำแนะนำในการปรุงอาหารในรูปแบบ**ฉลากของผลิตภัณฑ์อาหารสมัยใหม่**  **จนกระทั่งในช่วงปี 1970** ประเทศสวีเดนต้องเผชิญกับปัญหาราคาอาหารที่สูงเนื่องจากเงินเฟ้อ รวมถึงสภาพอากาศของสวีเดนนั้น ไม่เอื้อต่อการได้รับสารอาหารที่หลากหลายได้ ครอบครัวที่มีเด็ก ไม่สามารถปรุงอาหารและรับประทานอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการในราคาที่เหมาะสมได้ รัฐบาลจึงมอบหมายให้ Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare (คณะกรรมการสุขภาพและสวัสดิการแห่งชาติของสวีเดน) หาวิธีแก้ไขสถานการณ์ดังกล่าว และคัดกรองแบ่งประเภทอาหารออกเป็น “basic food” และ “supplement” มาเป็นรูปแบบของ กราฟวงกลม (diet circle) แต่ป้าแอนพบปัญหาบางอย่าง ที่ทำให้กราฟวงกลมนี้ใช้งานยาก เพราะการแบ่งปริมาณของอาหารแต่ละประเภทไม่ชัดเจน ในระหว่างบรรยายเรื่องการกำหนดอาหารพื้นฐาน คุณ Fjalar Clemes หนึ่งในผู้เข้าร่วมการบรรยาย ได้ให้ไอเดียด้วยการสร้างแบบจำลองที่เรียกว่า ปิรามิดอาหาร (Food Pyramid) ขึ้นมา เพื่อให้เห็นภาพสัดส่วนอาหารที่ชัดเจนขึ้น ป้าแอนเลยนำข้อมูลจากกราฟวงกลมนั้น มาสร้างโมเดลจำลองให้อยู่ในรูปแบบปิรามิด โดยให้ “basic food” เช่น ขนมปัง มันฝรั่ง พาสต้า และนม และ “supplements” เช่น ผลไม้ ผัก เนื้อสัตว์ และปลา อยู่ในรูปแบบที่เข้าใจได้ง่ายขึ้น แม้แต่คนที่อ่านหนังสือไม่ออก  แต่นี่แหละที่เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของปัญหา ด้วยความที่มันใช้งานง่ายสะดวก อเมริกาจึงนำไปปรับปรุงเป็นเวอร์ชั่นตัวเอง แต่ก็มีการเปลี่ยนแปลงไปอย่างมาก ตามที่ได้มีการทำบทความไปแล้ว (อ่านที่นี่) ทั้งๆที่ปิรามิดต้นแบบของป้าแอนนั้น สร้างขึ้นมาเพื่อชาวสวีเดนเนื่องจากนำข้อมูลพื้นฐานจากข้อจำกัดในประเทศในขณะนั้น ไม่ว่าจะเรื่องของวัตถุดิบที่หาได้ในภาวะยากแค้นแบบนั้น อุณหภูมิอันปรวนแปร รวมถึงสภาพเศรษฐกิจที่ย่ำแย่มาก การจัดแจงข้อจำกัดที่มีเพื่อให้ได้สารอาหารที่เพียงพอที่สุดเท่าที่จะทำได้ต่างหาก (eat healthier, more affordable and save on fat) ที่เป็นที่มาของ **“ปิรามิดอาหารของสวีเดน”** *(คือ จะให้เอาอุดมคติมาสร้างปิรามิดอาหาร คงไม่มีประโยชน์ เพราะยังไงก็ไม่มีเงินซื้อและหาวัตถุดิบไมไ่ด้ตามอุดมคติ วัตถุประสงค์ในการสร้างและเผยแพร่ครั้งนี้มันเพื่อให้ประชาชนทั้งประเทศที่มีความรู้ด้านอาหารน้อย รู้และทำตามได้จริง สมกับพื้นที่และกำลังทรัพย์ // ความเห็นส่วนตัวผมครับ)* ปิรามิดอาหารที่แท้จริงแล้ว จะมีการปรับปรุงตลอดเวลา ตามปัจจัยที่เปลี่ยนไป ไม่ใช่ปิรามิดที่เอาไว้ยึดถือตลอดไป แต่การที่อเมริกานำไปยึดถือว่าเป็น all time information เป็นค่าคงที่ให้ทั้งโลกยึดตาม รวมถึงสร้างด้วยเบื้องหลังด้านธุรกิจ จึงต่างกับที่ป้าแอนทำในทุกมิติ แต่ไฉน เป้าการบูลลี จึงต้องไปตกที่ป้าแอน ว่าเป็นต้นตอความพังของสุขภาพ มันแฟร์แล้วหรือ เรื่องนี้มีข้อพิสูจน์ได้จนถึงปัจจุบันเช่น ในปี 2022 ก็มีการนำเสนอ ปิรามิดอาหารสำหรับ Mixed diet, flexitarian, vegetarian และ vegan ออกมาสืบทอดเจตนารมณ์ป้าแอน นอกจากนี้ในช่วงที่ป้าแอนมีชีวิต ก็ยังคงมีการช่วยเหลือแนะนำให้ประเทศต่างๆ **“มีปิรามิดอาหารของตัวเอง”** นั่นคือ วิชั่นที่กว้างไกลของป้าแอน ที่เห็นได้ชัดเจนว่า อาหารพื้นถิ่นกับสารอาหารที่สมดุล ของแต่ละประเทศมีความไม่เหมือนกัน และแนวคิดนี้ได้มีทั้ง เดนมาร์ก, นอร์เวย์, ฟินแลนด์, ญี่ปุ่น, ศรีลังกา ได้นำไปพัฒนาใช้เช่นกัน นอกจากนี้ ป้าแอนและองค์กร Kooperativa Förbundets ยังให้ข้อมูลการศึกษาที่สำคัญสำหรับประชาชนผ่านบทความเกี่ยวกับอาหารที่ตีพิมพ์ใน นิตยสาร Vi รวมถึงการจัดตั้งกลุ่มการศึกษาร่วมกับทาง สมาคมการศึกษาของชนชั้นแรงงาน หรือ Arbetarnas bildningsförbund (ABF) มีส่วนสนับสนุนในการอภิปรายแบบเปิดทางสังคมเกี่ยวกับปัญหาโรคอ้วนอีกด้วย รวมถึงยังออกหนังสือเกี่ยวกับการทำอาหารอีกร่วมๆ 30เล่ม ซึ่งรวมถึงบทเกี่ยวกับมื้ออาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการที่สมดุล ด้วยเช่นกัน  **ในปี 1983 **ป้าแอนได้ตีพิมพ์หนังสือ Matboken ซึ่งได้รับการพิสูจน์แล้วว่าเป็นประโยชน์อย่างมาก โดยเฉพาะกับคนหนุ่มสาวเกี่ยวกับวิธีการกินอาหารที่มีคุณค่าทางโภชนาการและมีวิธีทำที่เรียบง่ายที่สุด  ในช่วงทศวรรษ 1990 เมื่อป้าแอนเป็นม่าย จึงได้ย้ายเข้าไปอยู่ในบ้านพักคนชรา Färdknäppen ใน Södermalm ในสตอกโฮล์ม และ ได้แก้ไขสูตรอาหาร 250 สูตรจาก Vår kokbok เพื่อให้เหมาะสมกับสภาพแวดล้อมการปรุงอาหารส่วนกลางของบ้านพักคนชรา เพื่อให้ได้อาหารที่มีสารอาหารครบถ้วนตามที่ควรเป็น **เกียรติประวัติป้าแอนได้รับการตอบแทนดังนี้** ในปี 1979 ได้รับรางวัลเหรียญ St Erik เพื่อเป็นการยกย่องสิ่งที่เธอทุ่มเทแรงกายแรงใจทำมาตลอดชีวิต ในปี 1993 ได้รับเหรียญ HM Konungens ลำดับที่ 8 (HM The King’s Medal หรือ H.M. Konungens medalj ในภาษาสวีเดน) เป็นหนึ่งในรางวัลเกียรติยศที่สำคัญที่สุดที่มอบโดยพระมหากษัตริย์สวีเดนเพื่อยกย่องบุคคลที่มีผลงานดีเด่นหรือมีความโดดเด่นในด้านต่าง ๆ เช่น วิทยาศาสตร์ ศิลปะ วัฒนธรรม และการบริการสาธารณะ ในปี 1995 ได้รับเหรียญทอง Albin Johansson สำหรับผลงานอันทรงคุณค่าของเธอต่อสหกรณ์สวีเดน ในปี 1998 ได้รับรางวัล Gastronomiska Akademiens Guldpenna (ปากกาทองของสถาบันอาหาร) สำหรับบทความเกี่ยวกับส่วนผสมและการทำอาหารของเธอ  **Anna-Britt Agnsäter เสียชีวิตในปี 2006 (อายุ 90ปี)** ป้าแอนทำงานทั้งชีวิตเพื่อสอนชาวสวีเดนในการจัดการอาหารให้ดีขึ้น ทุกการทดลอง ทดสอบ ได้มีการบันทึกไว้อย่างชัดเจนสามารถพัฒนาต่อไปได้ การริเริ่มให้ข้อมูลที่ซื่อสัตย์ต่อผู้บริโภค ทั้งการติดฉลากอุปกรณ์ คำแนะนำในการทำอาหาร สูตรอาหาร บทความ และตำราอาหาร สิ่งเหล่านี้กลายเป็นพื้นฐานสำคัญในอุตสาหกรรมอาหารจนปัจจุบัน แต่ทุกวันนี้วงการสุขภาพส่วนมากยังคงล้อเลียนเธอว่าเป็นครูธรรมดา ที่มีหน้ามาสร้างปิรามิดอาหาร จึงทำให้คนทั่งโลกป่วย ทั้งที่ความจริงทั้งหมดนั้น ความรู้ของป้าแอนไม่ได้น้อยไปกว่า ผู้เชี่ยวชาญทางวิทยาศาสตร์การอาหาร ซึ่งในสมัยนั้นนับว่าเป็นอีกแขนงที่อยู่ในระดับบนของการศึกษา ไม่ต่างกับวิทยาศาสตร์อื่นๆ ปิรามิดควรเป็นไปตามถิ่นที่อยู่ สภาพเวลาและสภาพเศรษฐกิจขณะนั้น ไม่ใช่การสร้างมาตรฐานให้ต้องทำเหมือนกันทั่วโลก โดยมาจากอิทธิพลของกลุ่มธุรกิจดังที่ usda ได้ทำการแก้ไขก่อนจะประกาศให้คนทั่วไปยึดถือ รายละเอียดเป็นไปตามที่สืบค้นข้อมูลประวัติของป้าแอน มาเล่าสู่กันฟัง ณ วันนี้ครับ ผมก็เป็นหนึ่งในนั้น สิ่งที่ผมสามารถทำได้เพื่อเป็นการขอโทษคุณ Anna-Britt Agnsäter ที่ดีที่สุดที่ทำได้ตอนนี้คือ เผยแพร่ประวัติอันทรงคุณค่าของเธอ ให้คนอื่นๆได้รับทราบมากที่สุด เท่าที่จะทำได้ โปรดแชร์ เพื่อคืนความเป็นธรรมให้ Anna-Britt Agnsäter ให้โลกได้เข้าใจและรับรู้ถึงการอุทิศชีวิตให้วงการอาหารของคุณป้าครับ ปล.มีการค้นพบไฟล์เสียง ที่ป้าแอน จัดรายการวิทยุในปี 1968 ให้ลองฟังกันครับ (น่าจะภาษาสวีเดนนะ 5555) [ฟังได้ที่นี่ครับ](https://rumble.com/v56p1wa-ann-britt-agnster-in-a-radio-find-from-1968.html) https://rumble.com/v56p1wa-ann-britt-agnster-in-a-radio-find-from-1968.html #siamstr #pirateketo

เตรียมตัวเตรียมของ 3 อย่าง ก่อนลงสู่ทุ่งม่วง โพสที่แล้ว เราเห็นข้อเปรียบเทียบระหว่าง nostr กับ โซเชียลมีเดีย กันไปแล้ว โพสนี้เราจะมาทำความรู้จัก ของหลักๆที่จำเป็นในการลงสู่ทุ่งม่วงกันครับ  อย่างที่ 1 : กุญแจคู่ รู้ตัวตน ก่อนจะเข้าประตูสู่ทุ่งม่วงนั้น เราต้องการกุญแจ 2 ดอกครับ มันทำงานคล้ายๆเซฟธนาคาร คือ กุญแจ 2 ดอกนี้ต้องเข้าชุดกัน ถึงจะเปิดออกได้ ซึ่งกุญแจ 2 ดอกนี้ เราเรียกว่า npub กับ nsec อย่าเพิ่งตกใจ ไหนบอกว่าจะมีศัพท์คอมพิวเตอร์น้อยๆไง 5555 ใช่ครับ บางคำอาจจำเป็นต้องรู้จักไว้ แต่ผมจะเทียบเคียงเป็นภาษาบ้านๆเราให้นะครับ npub กับ nsec จะเป็นชุดตัวเลขที่คอมพิวเตอร์คำนวนมาให้ (วิธีการได้มาจะบอกภายหลังครับ) Npub เราทำความเข้าใจเป็นภาษาอังกฤษง่ายๆว่า Nostr Public key ตัวย่อ NPUB หรือกุญแจที่เราเอาไว้ให้คนอื่นเพื่อจดจำว่าเป็นเรา ซึ่งคนอื่น นั่น นอกจากจะเป็นคนจริงๆแล้ว ยังหมายถึงระบบแอพต่างๆด้วย Nsec เราทำความเข้าใจเป็นภาษาอังกฤษง่ายๆว่า Nostr Secret key ตัวย่อ NSEC หรือกุญแจที่เราเก็บไว้ที่ตัวเองเท่านั้น ห้ามใครรู้ ระบบต่างๆจะคำนวนว่า npub กับ nsec เป็นชุดเดียวกันหรือเปล่า ก่อนนะอนุญาตให้เราดำเนินการใดๆได้ใน nostr พูดง่ายๆคือ npub nsec คือ กุญแจคู่ที่เอาไว้ยืนยันความเป็นตัวเรานั่นเองครับ ทีนี้ข้อเด่นของระบบ nostr ที่เหนือกว่า แอพโซเชียล www ทุกวันนี้คือ กุญแจคู่นี้ชุดเดียว ทำให้คุณสามารถท่องไปในดินแดน nostr ได้ตลอดกาล ไม่ว่าในอนาคตจะมีคนสร้าง nostr app อะไรใหม่ๆขึ้นมา โครงสร้างหลักของ nostr จะเป็นการใช้กุญแจคู่นี้ตลอดไปเช่นกัน ไม่เหมือนกับ โซเชียล www ทุกวันนี้ ที่ต้องไปไล่สมัคร user id ตามเอกชนแต่ละที่ แล้วเราก็ต้องมีเป็นร้อยๆ account ตามจำนวนบริการที่เราใช้ ไหนจะ เฟสบุค ไหนจะยูทูป ไหนจะกูเกิ้ล นี่ยังดีที่ แอพเล็กๆหลายๆเจ้าไปพึ่งใบบุญลูกพี่ใหญ่ อย่างเฟสบุค ยูทูป ไปบ้างแล้ว แต่เราก็ต้องมีสารพัด user id อยู่ดี นอกจากนี้ ข้อมูล password ของเราก็ยังถูกบันทึกไว้ที่คอมของ แอพนั้นๆ ต่างกับ กุญแจคู่ของ nostr ที่ไม่ได้เป็นการบันทึกข้อมูลของกุญแจไว้ในคอมของแอพ(ที่ใน nostr เราเรียกว่า รีเลย์ จำได้ใช่ไหมครับ) ระบบของ nostr เป็นการนำตัวเลขของกุญแจคู่นี้ มาคำนวนความเข้ากันได้ว่าเป็นคู่ที่ถูกต้องไหม ถ้าถูกต้องมันจะอนุญาตให้เราดำเนินการต่อ นั่นหมายถึงไม่มีการบันทึกใดๆไว้ในคอมผู้ให้บริการเลย ตราบใดที่คุณเก็บกุญแจไว้ที่ตัวดีๆ your key is your id ทีนี้การที่จะได้กุญแจคู่นี้มานั้นไม่ยากครับ เพียงแค่เราใช้แอพของ nostr เป็นตัวสร้างได้เลย  อย่างที่ 2 : แอพไหน ไฟแรงเวอร์ ก่อนจะเข้าสู่การสร้าง เรามาทำความเข้าใจ โลกของ nostr app กันเพิ่มสักนิดก่อนครับ อย่างที่บอกในโพสที่แล้ว nostr คือระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ เทียบให้เห็นภาพก็คือ www (world wide web) Nostr คือ การส่งอะไรก็ตามผ่านรีเลย์ (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) ทีนี้ในโลกของ www เราก็จะมีแอพซึ่งภาษาทางการเรียกว่า web app เห็นชัดๆก็พวกที่อยู่ในมือถือเรานั่นละครับ เฟสบุค ยูทูป ไอจี ทวิตเตอร์ มันคือหน้าฉากเป็นมือถือแต่หลังบ้านมันเป็นการติดต่อส่งรับข้อมูลในระบบ www รวมศูนย์อยู่ที่แอพแต่ละยี่ห้อ การทำงานของ Nostr ก็เหมือนกัน แม้จะใช้การส่งข้อมูลผ่านรีเลย์แต่ระบบยังคงทำงานบนอินเตอร์เนทช่วยในการเดินทาง เราจึงจะมี nostr app เพื่อใช้เป็นหน้าบ้านในการส่งรับข้อมูลในระบบ nostr ที่เชื่อมต่อถึงกันโดยรีเลย์ ดังนั้นเอาจริงๆในฐานะผู้ใช้ แทบจะไม่ต้องปรับอะไรมากเลย นอกจากเรียนรู้การใช้แอพใหม่ ส่วนการอธิบายหลักการที่ผ่านมา มันแค่ช่วยให้คุณเข้าใจความเจ๋ง ความอิสระ ความปลอดภัย เพื่อให้คุณ อิน ในระบบที่ไม่ต้องพึ่งพาบริษัทเอกชนที่เอาคุณเป็นสินค้าใดๆอีก นักเขียนโปรแกรม เขาก็ทำ app ขึ้นมาให้เราเทียบเคียงการใช้งานกับโลกทุกวันนี้ ยกตัวอย่างให้เห็นภาพกันก่อนเช่น Facebook twitter เขาก็จะมีแอพ damus artemis primal ฯลฯ ที่เป็นการโพสข้อความ รูป ลิงค์ มีกดไลค์ มีแชร์ ได้เหมือนกัน Youtube เขาก็จะมีแอพ zapstream flare ฯลฯ ที่เป็นลักษณะคลังเก็บวีดีโอ หรือ การไลฟ์ต่างๆ ซึ่งอันนี้แค่ตัวอย่างครับ จริงๆแล้วยังมี nostr app อีกมากมายก่ายกอง ที่เริ่มมีการทะยอยออกมาให้ใช้งานกัน (แน่ละครับ มันยังไม่มากแบบใน app store แต่มันคือจุดเริ่มต้นที่ผ่านมาได้พักนึงแล้ว และแอพใช้งานทั่วไปก็ครอบคลุมแล้ว) ที่สำคัญคือ ทุก nostr app ใช้กุญแจคู่เดียว ในการแสดงตัวตนของเราในการใช้งานนั้นๆ ตามที่บอกไว้ข้างบน (อย่างที่1) ไม่ต้องสมัครอะไรอีกต่อไป โหลดแล้วใช้เลย และใครที่ใช้คอม จะยิ่งมี nostr app ที่ใช้งานแบบบนคอมเยอะกว่าในมือถือเสียอีก  อย่างที่ 3 : แฮชแทคจ๋า พี่มาแล้ว ด้วยความที่โลกของ nostr กว้างใหญ่มาก อิสระมาก และที่สำคัญคือ ไม่มีอัลกอลิทึม ในการที่จะยัดเยียดการมองเห็น ดังนั้นสิ่งที่จะทำให้ทุกอย่างง่ายขึ้นนั่นคือแฮชแทค ถ้าใครเล่น ig twitter เราจะคุ้นเคยกันดี ว่าหากเราโพสอะไรแล้วใส่แฮชแทค คนที่ติดตามแฮชแทคนั้น จะได้เห็นข้อความเราไปเอง nostr ก็เช่นกัน มีแฮชแทคมากมายให้ติดตามกัน โดยเฉพาะ แฮชแทค #siamstr ที่เราชาวไทยรวมใจกันใช้ เพื่อสร้างอาณาเขตของคนไทยในทุ่งม่วง นอกจากนี้ของผมเองคือ #pirateketo ที่ใช้อยู่กับเฟสบุคและ ig ก็นำไปใช้ในทุ่งม่วงด้วย สามารถเจอโพสของพวกเราได้ ตามแฮชแทคนี้ ถ้าเป็นคนเล่นแฮชแทคอยู่แล้วก็ง่ายเลยแทบไม่ต้องปรับตัว ใครไม่ค่อยเล่นก็สามารถลองกดๆแฮชแทคในเฟสบุคดูเพื่อทำความเข้าใจการทำงานได้ก่อนที่จะลงทุ่งม่วง ทบทวนอีกที ของ3อย่างที่ต้องเตรียมรู้ก่อนลงทุ่งม่วง 1.กุญแจคู่ รู้ตัวตน 2.แอพไหน ไฟแรงเวอร์ 3. แฮชแทคจ๋า พี่มาแล้ว เมื่อทำความเข้าใจ 3 อย่างนี้แล้ว เราก็พร้อมจะลงไปมั่วกันแล้วครับ เล่นก่อนเรียนตามกันไปอีกที #pirateketo #siamstr

 ก่อนจะเปิดหลุมกระต่าย ให้เพื่อนๆลงไปสู่ ทุ่งม่วง wonderland เรามาเบิกเนตรระบบที่ทำให้เราเป็นสินค้าแทนที่จะเป็นลูกค้ากันก่อนครับ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มต้นด้วยอุดมการณ์ที่ดี ที่จะให้ข้อมูลข่าวสารมันฉับไว ซึ่งมันก็เป็นเช่นนั้นจริงๆ แต่โลกมันมีสิ่งนึงที่เกิดขึ้นอยู่เสมอ นั้นคือ การชิงทรัพยากร ดินแดน เวลา และการควบคุมคนให้อยู่ในอาณัติ อินเตอร์เนทเริ่มถูกยึดดินแดนมาตั้งแต่การเริ่มมีการสื่อสาร 2 ทางที่โต้ตอบกันได้เร็วขึ้น เจ้า www (World Wide Web) มันกลายเป็นดินแดนของไม่กี่บริษัท ที่เป็นผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ในโลก ดอทคอม สร้างกิจกรรมบางอย่างแล้วให้คนทั้งโลกเข้ามาใช้งาน จะเห็นว่าทุกวันนี้เราแทบไม่พ้นการเข้าไปดู เฟสบุค ยูทูป ทวิตเตอร์ ไอจี ชอปปี้ ลาซาด้า และอื่นๆที่เหมือนจะมากมายแต่ไม่ได้มากมายเมื่อเทียบประชากรโลก บางคนบอกว่ามันก็ดีไม่ใช่เหรอ เราได้ใช้ฟรีๆ ตรงนี้ละครับ เราจะเข้าเรื่องกันแล้ว คำที่เราหลงไปกับมันคือ เขาทำมาให้เราใช้ฟรีๆ เขาต้องเห็นเราเป็นลูกค้าสิ แต่ความจริงนั้น เราคือสินค้าครับ เขาฟาร์มเราไว้เป็นสินค้า เป็นหมูในแฮปปี้ฟาร์ม ยิ่งประชากรในฟาร์มมีมาก เขาก็จะมีมูลค่าสูงมาก ดังเช่นที่เราเห็นว่า มีการบ่นมากมายเรื่องการกดการมองเห็น การที่มีแต่โพสพนัน หลอกขายของที่เป็นสปอนเซอร์ การที่เราลงรูปไก่ต้มแล้วโดนแบนเพราะเขามองว่าทรมานสัตว์ และอื่นๆอีกมากมายที่ทำให้รู้สึกว่า ทำไมเขาดูแลผู้ใช้งานไม่ดีเลย เราเป็นลูกค้าเขานะ ถ้ามองในอีกมุมนึง จริงๆเขาดูแลลูกค้าดีแล้วครับ ลูกค้าของเขาคือคนซื้อโฆษณาต่างหาก ใครที่จ่ายมาก ก็เอาสินค้าเค้ามายัดเยียดให้ประชากรในฟาร์ม ได้ดูกันตาแตก หมูในฟาร์มคนไหนออกนอกลู่นอกทางก็จะเชือดทิ้ง นี่ละครับที่บอกว่าเราคือสินค้าต่างหาก กลุ่มคนที่ต้องการอิสระเสรี จึงสร้างสิ่งใหม่ขึ้นมา ไม่ใช่แค่ทำแอพ ไม่ใช่ทำแค่เว็บ เพราะมันยังต้องพึ่งพาเอกชนในการเอาข้อมูลไปฝากไว้ในเครือข่าย แต่สิ่งใหม่นี้มันเป็นระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ครับ ให้เห็นภาพยิ่งขึ้น เราบอกไปแล้วว่าดินแดนอินเตอร์เนท มันอยู่ในกำมือคนที่เป็น land lord ไม่กี่คน และทุกอย่างเราต้องอยู่ใต้อาณัติเขา ตั้งแต่การได้เห็นแค่ข้อมูลเขาก็เลือกให้ จนถึงว่าถ้าเขาสงสัยว่าเราไม่ใช่เราตัวจริง เขาสามารถลบเราไปโดยไม่ต้องถามอะไร ชีวิต7ปี 10ปี ที่ผ่านมาในแอพมันสามารถเหลือ 0โพสได้ในพริบตาและไม่ให้อุธรณ์ใดๆ นั่นเพราะข้อมูลทุกอย่างมันไปอยู่ในเครื่องคอมของแต่ละบริษัท ทั้งยูทูป เฟสบุค ไอจี ของๆเรา เราเอาไปอัพไว้ในคอมเขา ต้องทำตามกฎที่เขาตั้งและเปลี่ยนใจได้ทุกเมื่อ และแอบมองของๆเราได้ทุกรูปทุกข้อความลับ ทุกอย่าง ย้ำว่าทุกอย่าง ต้องผ่านคอมของเขาทั้งหมด เราไม่มีอะไรเป็นของเราเลย ในฟาร์มนี้ เราแค่รอโดนเชือดและเราไม่กล้าออกมาเพราะคิดว่าเป็น safe zone ส่วนระบบการส่งข้อมูลแบบใหม่ เราเรียกว่า nostr อ่านว่า นอสเตอร์ ชื่อเต็มมันยาว แต่ถ้ารู้ จะเข้าใจง่ายขึ้น เพราะมันมาจากคำว่า Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays แปลว่า ”อะไรก็ตามที่เอามาส่งผ่านรีเลย์“ ผมขอเรียกมันว่าส่งไม้ต่อละกันครับ มองภาพการวิ่ง 4x100 มันมีการส่งไม้ผลัดใช่ไหมครับ นั่นละ รีเลย์  ระบบเก่าเราเรียกว่า การรวมศูนย์ นั่นคือเอะอะก็ต้องไปเก็บหรือไปดู จากคอมบริษัทนั้นๆ เช่น ดูคลิปก็ต้องไปโหลดจากคอมของยูทูป จะดูฟีดเพื่อนก็ต้องไปโหลดข้อความที่เพื่อนฝากไว้ในคอมของเฟสบุค ถ้าวันนึง เฟสบุคล่ม นั่นคือทุกคนติดต่อหรือดูอะไรไม่ได้เลย และถ้ากู่ไม่กลับ นั้นคือทุกอย่างหายหมด นอกจากนี้ผู้คุมศูนย์คือสั่งชี้เป็นชี้ตายคุณได้ทันที ที่ไม่พอใจคุณ บ้านเขากฎเขา นั้นเอง  ในขณะที่ nostr เป็นระบบส่งไม้ผลัด นั่นคือ ใครๆก็สามารถเป็น รีเลย์ได้ แค่มีคอมก็เรียบร้อย วิธีการเป็นรีเลย์ เรายังไม่ต้องสนใจครับ เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ต้องเป็นผู้ให้บริการก็ได้ ฟรีด้วย วันนี้เราแค่มาเข้าใจเส้นทางก่อนครับ อย่างที่บอกครับ ระบบการส่งข้อมูลเราเป็นรีเลย์ หรือ ไม้ผลัด หลักการก็แค่เราก็แค่ใส่ที่อยู่รีเลย์ ลงไปในแอพของเรา แล้วข้อมูลที่เราส่งไป เจ้ารีเลย์มันก็จะวิ่งส่งไม้ผลัดนี้ไปให้สมาชิกทุกคนในรีเลย์ ในทางกลับกัน เราก็จะได้รับข้อมูลที่สมาชิกในสังกัดรีเลย์ที่เราลงไว้ ส่งมาให้ผ่านทางรีเลย์ด้วยเช่นกัน และที่เจ๋งก็คือ รีเลย์ ไม่สนใจอะไรอย่างอื่นอีก นอกเหนือแค่ส่งไม้ผลัดให้สมาชิกทุกคน นั่นคือ มันไม่คิดว่าอะไรควรส่งไม่ควรส่ง มันไม่คิดว่าข้อมูลดีแค่ไหน มันไม่ปิดกั้น มันไม่เซนเซอร์ นั่นคือ มีหน้าที่แค่ส่งจริงๆ นอกจากนี้ถ้าเราเป็นใส่รีเลย์มากกว่า 1 แห่งในตัวเรา ข้อมูลทั้งหมดก็จะสำเนาไปยังรีเลย์ที่เหลือได้เช่นกัน หมายถึงว่า ข้อมูลเราจะกระจายแบบสำเนาไปได้อีกหลายๆๆๆๆรีเลย์ นอกจากอิสระแล้วยังฆ่าไม่ตายด้วย เพราะรีเลย์มีขึ้นเป็นดอกเห็ด และใครๆทำรีเลย์มาเปิดให้บริการได้เอง (เราเป็นแค่ผู้ใช้ ไม่ได้อยากเป็นผู้ให้บริการ เราไม่ต้องสร้างรีเลย์ก็สามารถใช้งาน nostr ได้ครับ) ดังนั้น nostr จึงเหมาะกับคนที่ต้องการเสรีภาพแบบเต็มๆ เพราะไม่มีใครเซนเซอร์คุณได้เลย คุณเท่านั้นที่จะต้องรับผิดชอบการกระทำของคุณเอง เพราะด้วยที่มันฆ่าไม่ตาย นั่นหมายถึง สิ่งที่คุณพิมพ์หรือโพสลงไป จะไม่สามารถลบหรือแก้ไขได้เช่นกัน แม้แต่ตัวคุณเองก็ตาม ดังนั้นไต่ตรองให้ดีถ้าจะสร้างเนื้อหา เพราะมันจะบันทึกสิ่งที่คุณทำไว้ตลอดไป แต่ถ้าเรายังไม่มั่นใจเราลองเล่นแบบเป็นคนอ่านก่อนก็ได้ครับ พอเราใช้คล่องขึ้น มีสติสัมปชัญญะเพียงพอ ก็เริ่มทักทายคนในนั้นได้ มันไม่น่ากลัวหรอกครับ เพราะหัวใจหล้กของ nostr คือการเข้าสังคม สร้างสังคมคุณภาพ มากกว่าการโพสเท่ๆเอาไลค์ เพราะ มันไม่มีอัลกอลิทึ่มใดๆ เขายึดมั่นใน proof of work ไลฟ์ของเราจะไม่โดนปิดกั้น โพสของเราจะไม่โดนลดการมองเห็น ถ้ามันมีคุณภาพเพียงพอที่คนจะเลือกติดตามชม ถ้ามองเห็นกลลวงของโซเชียลแล้ว ตอนหน้า จะรวบรัด ลงหลุมกระต่ายกันเลย เอาแบบโหลดแล้วเล่นก่อน แล้วเรียนไปพร้อมๆกับเล่นนี่แหละ ถ้าทุกคนเริ่มวันนี้ อิสระก็จะเริ่มยิ่งใหญ่วันนี้ แล้วก็จะไม่มีคำว่า คนมันยังน้อยอยู่ เคยดูหนังไหมครับ เช่นตอนเปิดแผ่นดินใหม่ ใครขี่ม้าไปปักธงจองอาณาเขตได้ก่อน ก็จะคุ้นชินพื้นที่นั้นๆได้ก่อนใครครับ #pirateketo #กูต้องรู้มั๊ย #Siamstr

**I'm reposting this in order to fix the images and get it correctly onto my npub.pro site** What is this ?  _My Futurebit Apollo Miner in action_ Futurebit is a company that manufactures home miners for retail users (see futurebit.io) - you can check out details on their website. These are targeted at individuals that want to participate in mining with an easy to use, quiet miner that does not use a ton of electricity. The idea here is to try and stay true to the original bitcoin concept of a computer which runs the bitcoin software and mines bitcoin, all in one. While mining has obviously evolved into a commercial industry and the mining process has long been separated from running a bitcoin node, I think there are still some valid reasons to want to participate in the mining process and attempt to keep this original ethos alive: 1. You learn a lot about bitcoin from mining. Reading about the process is one thing, but actually getting a machine running, pointing it towards the pool of your choice, and seeing the bitcoin process from this perspective is something I've found very enjoyable (mining is probably my favorite part of bitcoin, if I had to choose one). It can also be a gateway drug to more advanced mining, so...heavy care. 2. It is marginally valuable to the network. Sure, one person running a futurebit miner is nothing compared to the hashrate of MARA. But, if you have tens of thousands of plebs all running their own miners from home, pointing their hashpower to the pool of their choice, it does provide a legitimate decentralizing anchor to large mining actors. Every pleb should be participating in mining, in my opinion, and the Futurebit Apollo miner offers a casual and unobtrusive avenue to do just that. Now, the Futurebit Apollo Miner you most commonly see is the 'Full Package.' The Full Package is an Orange Pi computer running on a custom linux distribution. You basically boot it up, and it starts running bitcoin core and mining in a few clicks. That is very cool, and I did own one. However, I will say that the Full Package is, unfortunately, not a great product. I won't go into too much detail, but its a very poor quality computer, the security upkeep of the custom linux distribution is lacking, and I found connecting to the node to use with wallets to be very difficult. The mining was also consistently inturrupted due to the pi freezing up. You are better off going with a different option for running a bitcoin node. This is simply to say, I dislike the Full Package Futurebit Apollo Unit. With that said, I very much like the 'Standard Unit'. The Standard Unit is simply a mining hashboard without the computer OS that comes with the Full Package. I've been running two Standard Units in my house for 18 months now and they just quietly hum along in my house, I barely notice them and they rarely need to be restarted (honestly I can't think of more than 3 times that I needed to troubleshoot and even then it was typically restarting the miner). They are a great way to make your personal contribution to the security of the bitcoin network. (Please Note: These things are pretty pricey brand new, so don't even think about buying one as being a profitable choice. You can sometimes find decent deals for them used, but buyer beware I can't speak to that experience. This is about hands-on learning about bitcoin mining and participating in the security of the network with a machine that won't drive your family crazy and that I believe is well-built enough to last you a long time. Heck, you could even set one up at your office and I doubt anyone would notice and mine with free electricity.) So, that's some background. Now, a standard unit is not the most friendly user experience if you are not used to using command line. I wasn't, but I spent a lot of time figuring it out. With this guide, any user should be able to get a Standard Unit hashing :) Here is the step by step process guide on how to run a standard unit, in use with both a Windows OS computer and a Linux OS computer (Ubuntu is what I use)...enjoy. **I. Linux** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For the purposes of this guide, I am going to be using the 'linux-x86_64' package as it is most appropriate for my computer. But, you would need to select the appropriate binaries for your computer. Odds are, if you are running ubuntu on your laptop or desktop, you are going to use the 'linux-x86_64' package. 3. Once you have clicked on the linux-x86_64 folder, you will land here:  Open each of these 4 files and download them using the 'Download Raw File' link in each file's page. Here is an example:  Once you have downloaded, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all 4 of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to double-click on 'start_apollo.sh' and open it up in Text Editor. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = Most likely "/dev/ttyACM0" or "/dev/ttyACM1" or "/dev/ttyACM2" -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  Make sure to save, then close out of text editor. 6. Now, start up terminal on your computer. First, we are going to want to get into the correct directory. In our case, our file is in Documents > Mining Files. So, you would input the following command: cd ~/Documents/Mining Files Once you are in the correct directory, we will run the following command: sudo ./start_apollo.sh You will likely be prompted to enter your computer's password, input the password and, if all goes well, you should see a result like this in your terminal:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard). As long as you keep this terminal window open and the computer on that is connected to the miner, and you will be mining away :) **II. Windows** Your Futurebit Apollo Standard Unit (referred to from here as 'the Unit') miner comes with a power supply and a usb cable. It's pretty straight forward, but you will want to connect the Unit to the computer of your choice (the computer needs to be on and running while you are mining, so a low power consumption computer and/or a computer that you are already running all the time for some other reason would be best). Also, plug in the power supply to your unit and turn it on (there are instructions in the Unit's manual for how to hook up the power supply correctly). 1. Go to https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries 2. You'll land on a page that looks like this:  For Windows, you will click on the folder titled 'msvc19'. You'll see 2 files to download, go ahead and click on each and click 'Download Raw File' for each. Please Note: Windows may see this file as a virus, so you may need to 'allow on device' in your virus & threat protection of your windows security service.  3. Once you have downloaded each file, I'd recommend making a folder and putting all of the files into that folder. I am going to make a folder with the name 'Mining Files'. I am also going to move the folder out of my Downloads folder (not necessary, but I'd recommend as it's not a great place to park a folder you want to hold onto). I am going to move it to my Documents Folder:  4. Now, if you do not have a mining pool account, you will need to make one, otherwise you should be able to use your pool credentials in the next step. Alternatively, you can solo mine using solo.ckpool.org with only a btc address. However, for the purposes of this guide I am going to assume that you are using Braiins pool. If necessary, go ahead and make a login with at braiins.com/pool. Note the username and password as we will need that later. 5. From the files that you downloaded in step 3, we are going to right click on 'start_apollo' and select 'edit'. The file will open up in notepad. The first 60 lines or so are explanations on how to prepare this script for your use. However, I am going to run you through all the options to update, so you shouldn't need to read the description. Instead, we are going to focus on the text in black font at the bottom of the file:  We need to update the info in the following fields as follows -host = stratum.braiins.com -port = 3333 -user = username for your Braiins login. I'll use "braiinsexample" for now. -pswd = password for your Braiins login. I'll use "Password123" for now. -comport = go to the 'Device Manager' service on your computer, expand the 'Ports' section, and you should find a 'USB serial device' with COM#. Update with your COM# (COM1, COM2, COM3, etc). -brd_ocp = 48 -osc = 30 -ao_mode = 1 So, when our file is set up correctly, it will look like:  6. Now that the file is ready, save the file and exit out of notepad. You should be able to simply double-click on the file. The command prompt services will pop-up on your desktop, and should reflect this, indicating your connection is successful and mining has begun:  You are now mining! The setting we use run the Unit ins 'eco mode', which should yield 2 terahash per second in terms of mining power (you can monitor the performance from your respective mining pool dashboard).

***I'm reposting this article I wrote some time ago again to fix the images for it on my npub.pro site*** In my previous post, I explained how to use your getalby ln address to receive zaps directly to your LND node. Similarly, there is an additional option that one can utilize to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: lnaddress.com. Lnaddress.com is a federated lightning address server that you can use to create a custom ln address. Unlike using getalby, lnaddress.com can be used with any lightning implementation (not just LND). For the purposes of this write-up, I am going to use LNBits to connect an lnaddress.com lightning address with my node. And as will be the case with most of my write-ups, I am going to be using Start9 OS, so users of that OS will likely find this write-up most useful, but I'm sure people using other node interfaces can infer how to complete this set up as well. With that said, let's dive into the step-by-step on how to create your own custom ln address with lnaddress.com and set it up to receive zaps directly to your lightning node: *Users should have lnbits set up with their lightning node before proceeding. 1. Go to lnaddress.com. Input your desired username, select 'Node Backend Type' = LNBits, and if necessary check the box 'This is a new lightning address'. Keep this page open in one tab as we will be returning to it to input info. 2. From your Start9 OS services page, go to your LNBits service. Open the 'Properties' page, and in a new tab, open the (Tor) Superuser Account. Page will look like this:  From this LNbits page, you can choose to 'add a new wallet' and use that wallet instead of your superuser account. That is up to you but the steps will be the same. 3. Now, we need to grab the info needed for the 'Host Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field on the lnaddress.com page. On the lnbits page, expand the 'Api Docs' field, and the 'Get Wallet Details' field found on the right hand side menu. In this 'Get Wallet Details' section, you will want to copy some of the URL found in the 'curl example' section. Copy 'http://xxxxxx.onion' (don't copy any more!), and paste this into the 'Host (Protocol + IP or Domain + Port' field found on the lnaddress.com page.  4. Next, we need to grab the key for your lnbits wallet. From the lnbits page, expand the API docs section found on the right hand side menu. Copy the 'Invoice/read key' (make sure to use the invoice/read key and not your Admin key), and paste it into the key field found on the lnaddress.com page. Upon pasting in that last piece of info, click 'submit' at the bottom of the page. 5. If all info was input correctly, your connection will be successful. If successful, you will be brought to a page that looks like this:  You will want to save this secret PIN in case you need to update info in your ln address. You'll also find a test lightning invoice of 1 sat. Using a wallet not connected to the node we connected to our new ln address, you can test the ln address out by paying the 1 sat test invoice. Users of Start9 OS might find the following info particularly useful: This ln address via lnaddress.com comes with a couple advantages aside from self-custodial zap receiving: - One, you can have a custom ln address username to go with your nym or nostr username. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address is not customizable. - Two, if you are running a tor only lightning node, you will be able to receive zaps from both tor and clear net lightning nodes. Users of Start9 may be familiar with the ln address one can generate in the btcpay server service. This ln address can only receive zaps from other tor nodes and can't receive zaps from clear net nodes. That is it, you should now be all set up with your new ln address hosted on lnaddress.com, and you should be all ready to receive zaps or lightning payments of any kind :) originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/603061

Curious if the devs on SN have any insights, opinions, or recommendations regarding FP. I've been aware of it for many years, I get the basic concepts but I'm now working on a rewrite of an existing app and another dev and I are considering FP. Its gonna be a Typescript based node application likely using ExpressJS. My college is a huge advocate for FP and really likes [fp-ts](https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts). originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/602772

From [Luca Casonato 🏳️‍🌈 on X](https://x.com/lcasdev/status/1810696257137959018) > So, Google Chrome gives all *.google.com sites full access to system / tab CPU usage, GPU usage, and memory usage.

**50% of the Bitcoin held with Unchained* will be seized by the US government within 10 years: a thought experiment ** Let me start by saying that I believe collaborative multisig is strictly better than leaving on an exchange, an ETF, or other paper Bitcoin options. I have extensively tested collaborative multisig at the 3 most well known providers: Unchained, Casa, and Nunchuk. My participation in Bitcoin Twitter and Nostr has led me to the conclusion that KYC collaborative multisig is shockingly easy to seize. If you care about this topic I will assume you are already based enough that you need no primer on the horrid fiscal situation of the governments of the USA, EU, China, etc. A 6102 (President FDR ordering the seizure of all privately held gold) type event feels escalatingly likely in the short term, and almost inevitable in the medium term. There are a few indisputable facts everyone must accept: Most users of collaborative multisig have at least 1 key (probably 2) at one of the following: their home, a bank safety deposit box, or other highly logical place in their immediate vicinity. Unchained multisig vaults are fully KYC. Meaning they have a list of your name, email address, and home address right next to your BTC holdings amount, 1 of 3 keys to your multisig, and even Social Security Number and more info if you use their loan or trading desk services. Hopefully you should immediately recognize the problem. The American government is 1 warrant away from having your full identity, BTC amount, and 1 of your 3 keys. Further they are most likely 1 visit to your home or bank away from having a 2nd key, and thus control of your BTC. Further, everyone must also accept that video verification is not much better than no verification. The government could also just come to your home (where you almost certainly have 1 key) and force you to submit a transaction request to Unchained. Per their own website Unchained does not have a specific minimum waiting period to submit transaction, e.g. it could be 1-2 days if you submit on a slow Monday or it could be 3-5 days if you submit over a weekend during a crowded Mempool. Even before considering AI fakes, video verification is simply not secure. It is quite easy to have someone stand out of shot holding you and/or your family hostage. The American government also has more than enough prison capacity to hold anyone indefinitely they need to while waiting for transactions to process. Sit and ruminate on the fact that all the government needs to do to take your Bitcoin is enter your home, use their monopoly on violence, and not so politely ask you to sign with your key and request Unchained sign with theirs. After a brief delay, all your BTC is gone forever! There is a brutal cognitive dissonance in believing Bitcoin will become worth millions of dollars per coin, and simultaneously thinking the government will not bother to visit one office, a few homes, or a handful of banks for untold riches. If the government gets desperate, then large holders using KYCed collaborative multisig are a potentially appealing target. Yes it is strictly harder to seize than an ETF or on an exchange, but that doesn’t make it foolproof. The easiest target is often the overconfident one. It would likely be too difficult to discretely visit many places and hold many people for enough time to seize all coins held by Unchained, but grabbing a significant portion of the largest holders before news broke is certainly plausible. Maybe I’m underestimating Unchained and they’re willing to go to prison for life, and during a government raid would wipe their servers rather than hand them over. But would you trust that with your life savings? I would not. In my assessment for users with less technical knowledge non-KYC multisig options such as Casa and Nunchuk are strictly better than a fully doxed option like Unchained. For those with more advanced technical knowledge the potential of miniscript and timelocks in Liana presents an even more secure option, albeit with the tradeoff of additional complexity. There is no free lunch. You must decide for yourself. Just please thoughtfully consider your options. I hope this is not taken as an attack at Unchained. I believe they are a solid Bitcoin only company doing some great work, but I also think they and their users drastically underestimate their current vulnerabilities. My hope is not to harm them in any way, but to force an uncomfortable conversation that the community needs to have. My greatest hope would be multisig makes strides in security across the industry. Taproot enabling multisigs to look like singlesigs and not placing all spending paths publicly on chain would be a great place to start. Miniscript next. These advanced security capabilities are available today via Liana and Anchorwatch. These are the next generation of multisig that the community desperately needs. They just haven’t realized it yet, but they will once a few Unchained customers publicly get their Bitcoins seized.

# Shop The Bitcoin Circular Economy In an effort to help build the circular economy, I want to increase awareness of businesses that accept bitcoin as payment. **These are not Paid Ads**. I list these companies because I use their services and find them valuable. I hope they find value in my word of mouth advertizing. Please spend some sats with them to support the circular economy The following is a list of business that I use: [Coinkite](https://coinkite.com/) You have heard of them for sure, the maker of the world famous Cold Card. If you don't have a cold card, you need to get your shit in order, but the company makes at least 50 products. I don't have a discount code for this company, but listen to a bitcoin podcast and I'm sure you will find one. Coin kite does a lot of other cool shit too, like the satschip, a product designed for artists. NFT's are a scam, but physical art is a real thing. Artists who add the satschip to their physical artworks can throw a photo of the artwork on the CoinKite website. These jpegs are not NFT's. They are not Ordinals. They are art with a chip that works similar to the Tap Signer, except the seed can never be revealed. It ties the physical paining, a , et al. to the bitcoin blockchain. It's neat way of tying art to digital scarcity without all the scammy bullshit associated with NFT's [Bitrefill](https://www.bitrefill.com/us/en/) let's Me buy gift cards with bitcoin. I used to use it to pay my bills, but they have since discontinued that service. I still think it's a great company and use it as a way to get discounts on certain stores like CryptoCloaks. [The Bitcoin Company](https://thebitcoincompany.com/) sells gift cards and Visa Cards online. I recently ordered a part for a composer and the customer service rep asked me to **send my credit card number** and secret code over email. I didn't feel comfortable sending that information, but I was able to buy a Visa Card with the exact amount to get my composter parts. They used the credit card and I got my parts, but there is no more money on the credit card. **Information longs to be free**, so guard your credit card numbers. [CryptoCloaks](https://www.cryptocloaks.com/) is a company that sells 3D printed items for sats. I hae bought quite a few things off them. Most recently, a case that my S9 which has been converted into a heater. He has a lot of other cool stuff too. Check him out. [BitcoinHatGuy](https://bitcoinhatguy.com/) has sold hats for bitcoin for decades and I have spent more sats on these hats than I feel comfortable admitting, but have never regretted my purchases. In real life, I'm one of those wierdos that wears the same thing everyday: Black T-Shirt and Gray pants, but I have an extensive hat collection. I buy most of my hats with bitcoin and most of those hats were bought from BTChatGuy. They're great, cheaper than MLB or even minor league baseball hats and I don't watch sports anyway. If you wear hats, buy a hat from this dude. [Robosats](https://learn.robosats.com/) Bitcoin exchanges are some of the biggest spenders in the bitcoin content creation market. They are the bread and butter for content creators. This makes sense, because they also get the most in fees. According to David Bennet from the Bitcoin and Podcast, The Cash App had over a billion bucks in revenue from bitcoin sales alone. Good. I'm happy for the Block, but smaller bitcoin only exchanges like RoboSats don't get the exposure they deserve because they don't have the marketing budget. RoboSats is a peer to peer exchange. It's only on TOR, but they also have an app on the Andoroid store for those too timid for TOR. Robosats is a bitcoin escrow service. They hold bitcoin in escrow and wait for conformation that payment has been recieved. Bitcoin sellers generally sell for about 5% above market value to provide KYC Free Sats to customers. Fiat settlements are made using the Cash App, Strike, or even Amazon gift cards. We should market the p2p exchanges like this more. Robosats incentives this by giving users or referal codes. Refer someone to RoboSats using your referral code and you will get 100 sats for each trade. I would like to see people shill RoboSats and pick up these sats on social media. So I am not only asking you to use RoboSats, but I am also asking you to shill it. I had nodeless.io on the list, but the tyrannical government of Canada shut it down. When I attempt to orange pill normies, the objection I most often need to overcome is "Bitcoin can never work because the government[state] will shut it down. The 100k bitcoiners in the world know it does not work that way, but most CPI believers think the government just needs to shut down the single bitcoin computer to take it all away. Perception is reality as they say. And yeah, we won't all turn off our bitcoin mining heaters or shut off our nodes, but I have seen online Poker get decimated by government policies. They did not succeed at ending online poker, but they essentially ended access to online poker for anyone with a sub 120 IQ. If we want bitcoin to be for everybody, we need to make it easy for people to buy non-KYC bitcoin. RoboSats is making that their mission. [Nostr.build](https://nostr.build) Nostr Native video and image storage. you can login with your npun instead of an email or using nip07. The premium membership also includes access to btcpayserver, but you'll need to set it up. The subscription lasts one year, but the developers told me they won't actually delete your photos for two years. I love nostr.build and think it is an underrated resource in the nostr community [BTCPins](https://btcpins.com/) BTCPins sells cool bitcoin collectible PINS. They're reasonably priced and look great. He only accepts bitcoin because he is a true ride or die freak. He is also one of the meetup organizers in Southern California and wears hats sold by Bitcoin author, Knut Svanholm. He's the real deal. [Strike](https://strike.me/) Strike would pay me like five or ten bucks if I had you sign up with them via my referral link, but I'm not recommending them for the referral money. This is about recommending services I use. Strike is the best way to send fiat around the world. I also know that many bitcoiners don't like the idea of spending their own bitcoin, Strike gives you the ability to instantaneously convert fiat to bitcoin and vice-versa. I would rather have the hodl never sodl people spend fiat in the circular economy this way. In a perfect world, Strike would not comply with KYC laws, but like I said, it's the best way to send fiat around the world.(or people on Robosats who could be anywhere in the world.) I also think if a KYC free exchange is to expensive, you're better off stacking a little on a KYC exchange than not stacking at all. Budgets are tight these days. If you can only stack a penny this paycheck, stack that penny with Strike. Need to send fiat to Mexico, use Strike instead of Western Union. [Seed Signer](https://seedsigner.com/) Seed Signer is a raspberry pi with no Wi-Fi. You can make your own or buy one from the store. The seed signer does not have a secure element, but it also does not store your seed on the device. Therefore, you must write down your seed and enter it into the device every time you plug it in. This sounds like a pain in the ass, and it is if you do it that way, but it comes with a camera and a unique neat feature. You can create a QR code using a pen and paper.(You'll need access to a printer too) Actually, I recommend using a pencil and paper. It's easy to make a mistake so you might want to erase it. You can always go over it with a felt tip pen later if you're worried about a man in the middle attack. You can also use it for nostr keys I think, but I have not tried this feature. I would not trust all my bitcoin with any wallet, but this is an excellent wallet to use as part of a multisig with Sparrow Wallet or Specter Desktop. [Get Alby](https://getalby.com) Get Alby is my favorite desktop wallet. I've made spme videos about them here and highly recomend it because you can use it as a custodial wallet or hook it up to your own node. I also respect this product a lot. Back in 2017 or 2018 we had the Joule browser extension, but you had basically had to be a lightning engineer to get it to work. I wasted many hours of my life away trying to get it to work on my browser with no dice. Alby is about 100X improvement over the old Joule days. They also have some cool nostr features and make it easy to login to websites. Full disclosure, I have no idea how they make money. [Plebai](https://home.plebai.com/https://home.plebai.com/) You put a dollar into a vending machine and it spits out bubbly sugar water. This data vending machine works like that. You put im 100 sats and it will genorate an AI image or create a summary for your blog. It's an awesome service and does not require a subscription like some of the fiat competition. LeatherMint I bought a belt from leathermint and it was one of the best purchases I ever made online. I highly recommend buying things from this site https://theleathermint.com/. I wrote about my experience [here](https://habla.news/u/bloggingbitcoin@nostrplebs.com/bad-ass-belts-from-leathermint). These are not all the products I use, and I will add more over time. **If you have a bitcoin side hustle or sell a bitcoin related product, let me know about it**. I'm always interested in learning about more bitcoin companies.

Recently a famous actress accused an AI company of using her voice without her permission. She says this company approached her about using her voice as the voice of a new product. She declined the offer. Now she claims the voice of the product is a dead ringer for her voice and is suing the AI company for using her voice without her permission. What could have happened is that this company could have hired an impersonator and used their voice to develop their product. I think this is the most likely thing that happened. This sparked an interesting idea in my mind. What LLM are doing is imitating. We all do it all the time. Musicians do it when they write songs. We all do it when we write. We can't help but be influenced by others. Of course there are even professional impersonators. Under current IP "law" I do not believe that an impersonator can be sued for stealing the likeness of those they impersonate. So, given that LLM simply use information/data that is publicly available how can what they are doing be unlawful or even immoral? Imagine a world like this. I color my hair and cut it in a certain way that is new and different. Does it seem reasonable that I could use the government to prevent anyone else from doing what I have done? Its absurd right? Why? Because a hair style can't be stolen. Its not tangible. It can be copied or imitated though. This cuts to the core of the logical flaws in idea of intellectual property. Most people really only look at the utility of things like IP instead of reasoning about them. You can make arguments about why IP is needed to protect something but when you really break it down logically it is full of contradictions. It falls apart. Its arbitrary. If I write something on my own web site on the Internet and do not specify a license legally you are not allowed to duplicate it. Once I publish it though I have zero control over it. Anyone can read it and "steal" it. But they can't really steal it right? I mean, I don't even have possession of it. Anything that can be infinitely copied cannot be stolen. It can be copied. It can be copied and changed. You see theft requires the possession of an object to change. When you copy what I have written here what I wrote does not cease to exist. No matter how much I don't like that the only way this can be stopped is for me to never share it. The only reason IP even exists is the state. The state arbitrarily decides who has the "right" to ideas and intangible things like songs and prose. And we know how the state enforces things. Violence and the threat of violence. I am really looking forward to watching all of the absurdities that will come out of AI companies copying and imitating things broadcasted online. Grab the popcorn. Its gonna be fun. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/598082

#### Can someone that hates the government celebrate Independence day? I believe they can --- --- ## Defining Terms Before I answer that let me preface my thoughts with this. There are three things that get used as if they mean the same thing. 1. Nation 2. Country 3. Government Many people use these interchangeably yet they are three different things. The fact that many people do not realize or recognize this leads to confusion and frustration when they hear someone being critical of the government, and its policies. 1. Nation is the people 2. Country is the land 3. Government is the state. The system ruling over the people within the borders of the land. ## What America is to me Over the years as I've become more disenfranchised with the US government and the state as in idea I have had an internal struggle with patriotism[^1]. I love this country and its people but I hate many things the government has done and is still doing. I no longer vote. I do not believe the political forces represent me or any of us. I believe the Constitution is a beautify document but it has been powerless to stop the march to where we are today. I am ashamed of what the US and many state and local governments do. And yet, I still love America. Some people have tried to make me feel as if I do not love America. This isn't true. I'm proud to call myself an American. I love our country and what the people (on the whole over time) stand for. The ideals of liberty and justice. The ideals of the only limitation being your own willingness to work. The idea of being unashamed of what you believe. The idea of fresh starts. The ideas that drove people to the new world. These values are good. They have not always been upheld or modeled but the ideas are core to being an American. When you talk to an immigrant that has came to this country you can see how special America is. --- --- ## The US government is not America I believe the state is evil and responsible for more death and destruction than any entity that has ever existed. But, I do not want to live in chaos, I support governance. Governance exists in each of our lives. It is mostly voluntary and rarely includes violence or the threat of violence. The state uses violence to force the people into submission. The state is an entity that has a monopoly on the use of violence. The US government is not what makes me proud. It makes me ashamed. The actions of those in power are deplorable. Many of them are anti-American. When the founders penned the documents that created the federal government there was much concern about the federal government trampling over the rights of **the people**. And the evil isn't new. Look at what the US government did to the native people in this country. The state is ruthless. Our culture is far to comfortable with the violence the state perpetrates. Maybe you don't think we can abolish the state as I do. That's OK. But can we agree that its grown too big and too powerful? --- --- ## Food for thought I challenge you to think about this over the next few days. Who has your back? Is it your friends and family or is it some politician or bureaucrat? You might be thinking well, there are men who laid down their lives for our freedoms. Ok, but they are people. Most of us that oppose war oppose the abuse of those soldiers. Many times they are being used as tools for the elite. Most of us respect those that are willing to sacrifice themselves for their family and their nation. If you talk to vets(I know many) they believe in the values I have described. Those people have my respect. Most do not love the government. They love the people. They love the country. They love their families and our cultural values. They do not want to live under tyranny. Yet as the state grows in power we are increasingly living under a technocratic system that rivals the USSR. In the name of preserving freedom the state has created a tyrannical system that robs us of our freedoms. It is fueled by a political system that divides us and pits neighbor against neighbor. I invite you to reject these ideas. This political poison. We don't need to agree with each other on everything. We are being forced into this stupid arguments constantly. Live and let live. Stop trying to use force to make everyone live like you. That's un-American. Its not what this nation is about. Yet that is where we are. --- --- ### The dollar isn't American Bitcoiners should understand this. Many Americans think bitcoin is bad because the identify the dollar as American. Again, this is ignorance. The US government predates the dollar. The dollar is fiat. I believe it is anti-American. Bitcoin is American. It is censorship resistant. It is created by proof of work. It has no rulers. What is more American than that? But you see this is the same issue as thinking being American has something to do with the government. The government is something we can change, or replace. If we did would we cease to be who we are? I don't think so. --- --- ## Happy Independence day Happy Independence day stackers. Lets work on thinking more independently and living with each other in peace. Reject the political framing. We don't have to love and agree with everything everyone does. We can respect each others rights to do things we wouldn't do. We can do better at that. We could all probably focus on improving our own backyard a little more and forcing people that live across the country to do or not do things a little less. Celebrate your freedom and the freedom of others on this Independence day. --- --- What do you love about America? The people and the land. [^1]: Inspired by SNL (@k00b, and @car)
