urbanism

I’m obsessed with Louis Sullivan’s bank buildings

Can anyone kindly recommend a gut microbiome specialist who’s able to fix imbalances after an extended antibiotic treatment? Location doesn’t matter

We need a movement for offline spaces, just like walkable cities.

Faraday cage environments where phones and laptops simply don’t work. 

Libraries with pencil and paper and no distractions.

Laptops without WiFi chips, so you can type offline and then sync back manually via USB or Ethernet when you want.

Restaurants with phone lockers at the front, where everyone must check in devices beforehand.

What else?

Vacation resorts with full spectrum signal jamming

Should we rebrand Warpcast to Farcaster?

We separated Warpcast (the app) from Farcaster (the protocol) a few years ago. 

We've heard from many new users that this is very, very confusing. People hear about Farcaster, search in the app store, can't find anything called Farcaster and then churn.

Yes, rebrand it but make sure the name ‘Farcaster’ is very permissive, legally, for other protocol clients to use themselves; Put simply, 3rd party devs should be able to distribute clients with names like ‘Farcaster Plus’.

I joined Farcaster on 11th August 2022, which was 2 years, 7 months, 15 days ago. 
Since then, 99.9 percent of users have joined after me

You can just spend 10% more to make the sidewalk feel 300% as nice

The difference in aesthetic pleasure here is not subjective but universal

I could do with some more terracotta buildings

SF; highest concentration of capital in the world, but all the roads are in shit condition and the electricity is not yet underground

Is it illegal to give away money to followers?

What if I said I would give 1 ETH to a randomly chosen follower this Friday? 

Screw it, let's do it. I'm gonna give someone 1 ETH on Friday. 

Only rule: Must Recast this post with what you'd do with the ETH

I would give it away again using the exact same format

Quilibrium Builders

How does the Quilibrium bridge to Ethereum work? And particularly, how come almost all QUIL in existence has been bridged? Also does it have ownership?

Haven’t been able to answer these, appreciate any input

architecture

Has anyone seen example of (any) traditional East Asian building facades that are 4+ stories high?

If we wanted to take the format of Paris and transform it to a Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or Japanese style — how would it look like?

Is there a single city in North America or Europe that not just preserves, but actively replaces asphalt roads with cobblestone ones?

Network States

I’m a fan of the network-state concept as much as the next guy here but how many people realize that no state will survive more than a few generations without the ability to physically defend itself? I’ve seen nobody talk about the need for a citizen-army or defense pacts with empires

futarchy

On the debate of a Futarchy custodying large sums of money, much larger than its token’s marketcap

The answer is that there’s likely some real risks to that, but that’s okay

what if we end the high-fdv game by making most tokens tradable at tge? including team and investors. more like IPOs. when everyone can sell at day 1, unintuitively, this might actually make retail less of an exit liquidity tool over their bias of ignoring fdv and future emissions

i just want to find a girl that is beautiful, fit, and wicked smart yet enjoys being airheaded. is that too much to ask?
