Hilarious to me that the bank refuses to process large amounts of change. They have the change counting machine right there and they refuse to use it. Jerks

I’m very excited for what @comm.eth is building! Finally some well built projects encrypted chat for farcaster. Feels way better than discord and will probably replace keybase for me.

In general regulations stifle markets. But a few well-crafted regs around security are a good thing. This is one.

Here are a couple more that I'd favor:
🔘 Banning personal questions for account recovery (eg.  "what city were you born in?")
🔘 Banning SMS 2FA

if they ban 2 factor how will they know your phone number? they have to track you 😆

Aerospace

I wonder how much of Boeing’s decline can be attributed to SpaceX and Blue Origin sucking up all the aerospace engineering talent. Would be interesting to see an evaluation from that lens.

apparently apple's the most compliant when it comes to government data requests? doesn't seem very compatible with their pro-privacy marketing stance...

Yeah i’ve always suspected the apple privacy thing is just marketing. 

Is there a chance that they just comply because the requested information is just all encrypted?

I’ve heard that running a vpn on iphone doesn’t prevent apple from still routing their traffic outside your tunnel. Infuriatingz

Crazy stories about law enforcement just taking peoples money. Give the channel a follow to support them.

Anyone tried the ARX machine. I’m impressed by it and seems weird to me there isn’t more around. Maybe it’s just too different. I suppose the cost of it doesn’t help either.

Nobody talks about how awesome 0xCoffee is. It’s the first thing my wife tells people about when crypto comes up.

Is there any way to mute a channel? I come to farcaster to avoid politics and want to block /politics

Chatted with a guy this weekend who kept telling me about “trying the Me Me” coins. Finally realized he was talking about meme coins 😆

“Programmers today are impatient for success. They start planning for a billion users before they write their first line of code. In fact, nowadays, we train them to do this without even knowing they’re doing it. Everything they’ve ever been taught revolves around scaling.”


Really good article. Would be awesome if @dappnode could integrate tailscale.

The easiest way to RUN WEB3. It just works.

Well Mexico had 37 assassinations in their election so we are doing pretty good.

Books

Two of the most important books I’ve read for understanding modern politics are “Orality and Literacy” by Walter Ong and “Amusing Ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman. I’ll save Ong for another day but I could not help think of Postman yesterday after seeing this image of Trump after his assassination attempt.

Postman wrote about the age of television and impact of images on public consciousness. As the world shifted from a literacy-first to visual-first norm, the public became more focused on images and visual charisma than the abstract technical details of governance.

Trump has spent a lifetime in show business. No one knows better the power of the image than him. Incredibly, in a moment of mortal danger he kept enough composure to make sure that he drew incredible image out of an attempt on his life.

Trump in a way is truly a Postman-esque genius. His political rise cannot be understood without understanding the rise of the image in modernity.

Amusing Ourselves to Death is on my top five. Everyone should read. It’s short and easy.

Farcaster

Please spread the word: there are 0 economic rewards—currently or in the future—for running a Hub.

Only run a Hub if you:
1. Find it fun
2. Find it useful for your project or your business

There's no surprise or gotcha that comes later.

All of the YouTube video tutorials are lying to you about a potential reward.

Ok so who gets the storage fees i pay? Isn’t a lack of incentive for hubs going to cause centralization? 

Email is an open protocol but it’s centralized around just a few providers because there is no incentives baked in to the protocol.

Interview repo attack vector - be careful out there devs!
https://x.com/tayvano_/status/1810455262320570416?s=46

The “interview” attack is so smart because so many legitimate companies have you install and run sketchy software when interviewing. 

Side note - Perhaps a good interview method is to insert something that could be potentially malicious and see if prospective employee picks up on it.

Saying rituals don’t matter, is like saying the taste of food doesn’t matter because it all ends up in your stomach anyway - you are not wrong, but well, you’re missing the message

Let me more specific by what I mean when I say ritual:
