If I own a treasury bill and there is a government default, will I actually lose money?
Or will there merely be a delay in payment?
What if no payments are due on my bill at the time of the default?

I am a very self-interested person, in the following sense; I try to figure out what is best for me to do.
"best for me" here does not mean that I expect my actions to bring me wealth, pleasure, power or comfort, or something of that sort. It rather means that I take a much greater interest in the success of my own actions than those of others, for the simple reason that my own actions are the only ones I can directly control.

Will the availability of AI lead to a decline in people's ability to write and think? If so, how do you plan to prevent this from happening to you?

Is there a guaranty built into it at the technical level that this choice cannot be taken away from you?

To the geometers, physicists and set theorists of the world, a question about the nature of space.
Consider two arbitrary points in space A and B, and consider the straight line running through A and B. Suppose you start walking from A towards B along this straight line, and the length of each of your steps is 1 yard.
Based on the information above, is it certain that you will reach B after having taken some finite number of steps?

I was going to quote Plato from time to time, but now I see that there's @npub1pla…g43q already. Let's see if I can compete with the AI.

Whole Foods sells a counterpart of everything I used to buy at a 7-Eleven. Brownies, twinkies, salted peanuts. The high calorie items are packaged in pink and labeled "sinful", so I guess that makes it ok.

Happiness is not a state, nor an activity, but a story. The things in your life have to fit together in a certain way.

That you will not have to lie, cheat or deceive, and can live with an untroubled conscience owing debts neither to gods nor other men.
An answer from Plato's Republic.

The open protocol makes it very different. On the proprietary platforms, it would have felt like contributing my labor without compensation for the benefit of someone else*s website.

Yes, the algorithms bugged me. Why contribute to a platform that's rigged.

Chiming in with some feedback after a few days here:
(i) Don't know what zaps are. Don't understand the connection with lightning.
(ii) Don't understand the significance of of the list of relays that I'm using. Does the list mean that my events get stored on *all* of these relays? Is what I'm seeing from other people in my timeline a combination of what's stored on all of these relays? If I add relays, will I see additional people in my timeline?
(iii) How many relays should be I using? What's the disadvantage of using as many relays as are available?
(iv) How do I retrieve a full backup of my own profile and events from the relays I am using? How can I later "upload" this backup to another relay?
(iv) Would love to learn how to do sign events airgapped. Not that I'd necessarily do it on an everyday basis, but I like to know how to do things securely as a baseline, and then deviate from "best practice" as I see fit.
(v) It would be especially neat to be able to sign events airgapped using Tails. Maybe someone has a program for doing so that can be installed in Tails persistent storage?
(vi) A list of hashtags or some other way to identify communities with shared interests would be helpful.

I've always stayed away from social media because it felt exploitative.
I have no interest in expending time and energy to create a conversation that some third party can shut down at their whim.
This feels different.

Thanks! Not that I've ever used Twitter. But I'll learn, first time social media seems like it's worth the effort.

Does nostr have communities based on shared interests? If so, how do I find them?
