Do it! I highly recommend the Long Island CW Club https://longislandcwclub.org/ I only just joined, but the way they teach (and the fact that they push using a straight key/manual key rather than iambic paddles for learning) have helped me progress more in the last 2 weeks than in the last several years. I did CWOps (https://cwops.org/) class a few years back, and it was good, but it was a set class/length, and there wasn't an obvious place to go when it ended, so I just sort of stopped. LICW has classes more or less constantly, and no need to sign up. #licw #cwops

Yeah, I've been pricing vehicles recently and it's rough. I'm driving a 2020 Subaru Outback with around 125k on the odometer and considering passing it on to my daughter when she gets her license. I guess if I do that, it may be the first time in 20 years I will have to finance a car.

Here's an updated version, which brings in the COVID nonsense. The whole pdf can be downloaded from https://humanprogress.org/time-pricing-and-mark-perrys-latest-chart-of-the-century/ and has some other interesting bits in it (did housing prices in average wage hours actually go down between 2000 and 2024?)

I agree with you, and noticed that this is an older chart. Here's the version published in March 2025. You'll see there's a definite tick up in car prices over the last few years.

Wouldn't looking at NIP-17 as inspiration be useful? You could establish the back channel in a similar way to that then update the npub via that back channel.
I'm not sure it's very valuable, but that's how I would begin thinking about it.

You're reading way more into what I'm saying than intend. Is it really so radical to say that maybe, had the western world brought Russia into the fold and treated them like an equal while encouraging improvement where needed 35 years ago, we would likely have been in a better place than we are now?

Or they could negotiate a ceasefire and not die at all. But I don't want my country to do everything in it's power to ensure that doesn't happen, which seems like what the US and Europe have been doing, at least up till Trump.

It was to protect from Soviet expansion, and when the USSR fell apart, there was a chance to change the paradigm, but it didn't happen. Is it any wonder that Putin thinks NATO's purpose is to stand against Russia and keep them down?

I haven't thought deeply on this, but yes, you certainly wouldn't post a list of URLs. Posting a list of hashes is still potentially a problem, but the bad guy would have to parse and hash every URL in every note on nostr, and compare against your list of hashes to make use of it. I don't know. Maybe there's extra data you could use to construct the hash that would make it more difficult to reverse?

2025-02-27 21:17:24 UTC

- reply

so, not do.

2025-02-27 21:16:46 UTC

- reply

Well. hashes are one way. do given a hash, you couldn't find the original. but given the original and a hash, you could know* that that hash is of that original.
* There are technically multiple originals that would produce the same hash, but it's pretty unlikely in the real world, at least as far as I understand. But I am not a cryptologist.

2025-02-27 20:19:00 UTC

- reply

ah, I guess that could still be used by someone trying to assemble the "bad" list, but more time and work intensive (crawl all notes, hash domains, compare with the list).

2025-02-27 20:12:03 UTC

This may be a stupid question, but couldn't you publish a list of hashes of problematic domains without promoting the actual domain name?

Any Bevy experts on here? I'm trying to upgrade my project from 0.14.2 to 0.15.2 and there's a change that breaks:

Sure, but that wasn't the question. The question was "why does the Canadian version have less artificial ingredients than the American version?"
But they can't just leave it at that. They have to use a rhetorical trick to make you think the question was different, then prove that the question that wasn't asked was leading you to a false conclusion.

I'm curious about this, too. I live in a hilly area, and have seen two neighbors turn one on. One should have direct line of sight, but forest and 900m range, the other is 1.2 km away, and appears to be up and over a ridge. Maybe my device is high enough on the second floor to have direct LOS, but I doubt it.
The other one, I've got just naked (no case) sitting on my dashboard as I drive around. I mostly just look at it's results every week or so and see what it's seen.

Eh, that depends on you. I meditate using old AnglicAnglican discursive medmeditation techniques but you may do something different.

Vacation did not go as planned. I flew to France to go hiking, but suffered a detached retina on the flight over. Got a good diagnosis as soon as I landed, then flew back home and had surgery.
Today's one week post-op, I'm still functionally blind in my left eye, but nost of my restrictions are gone, and it should get better as the gas bubble dissipates.
On the plus side, this sudden change of plans required me to reach out to friends for help, which isn't something I do a lot, and they came through with all the help I needed, which is a good reminder that, for lack of a better word, I am loved.
