Decentralize till it hurts, centralize till it works (protocolize it) https://x.com/ValenceZone/status/1889681759324823701

Keep seeing TSA-Pre check lines at airports that are longer than the normal security lines more often. What kind of protocol failure is this?

I've been working with a group of farmers and web2 technologists building Open AgTech since the summer and we managed to sneak in some protocol-coded research today for an upcoming paper 🤭 have been waiting for these two worlds to merge for years at V6A and all sides seem ready to make it happen now

I recently learned that the movie Perfect Days started off a commissioned commercial for the Tokyo Toilet Project. The quality of a public toilets is a great proxy for the efficiency of a city government/services.

I think substack is the social media feed I've been missing between here, twitter and bsky. Still walled garden enough to feel relevant and cozy, but also great built-in discovery. I wonder if it's bc it's still small or a result of adding shortform to longform (instead of current trend of longform added to shortform)

Definitely appreciate how I dont get notifications for all the bot follows, but almost missed new folks like @theobtl because of it. I can see this making it hard for new farcaster users to join and engage. Any way to do this more granularly? E.g. as a likely person, can I mark Theo as a person. Maybe once a threshold's met of likely human account to new account verifications they get taken off the backend likely-a-bot list? Cc: @ted @v

Markets do uniquely address what Hayek calls "the knowledge problem" though - the challenge of coordinating millions of individual preferences, circumstances, and bits of local knowledge that no central planner or force could possibly process on their own. Wondering if protocol economics/entrepreneurship could be a way to have your cake and eat it too. Markets mechanics without market failures.

Working through Polyani's The Great Transformation rn and it feels like relevant reading for our current day in-between times. Learning a lot more about how markets came to be - as externalities of the fiscal-military state, not as spontaneously as Hayek, Friedman and basically every economic class make them out to be. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/206182/the-great-transformation-by-karl-polanyi/

Anyone up to get some sat/sun weekend runs in? Had a pretty consistent crew over the summer that tapered out. Thinking Williamsburg -> lower eastside/prospect park -> brunch wherever we land 😁

Fun fact: the founder of Project Euler got his start with one of these. Something also seems to click in a kid's brain when you can POKE/PEEK into memory and the insides of a computer in one of it's simpler forms. Modern computers abstract away these interactions and essentially bury the core protocols that made the system transparent and accessible before. The doing process is faster but the learning process much less direct.

This is why experiments like /edgecity are exciting to me. It's one way to increase the democratic bitrate of cities.
