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/

Interesting. Ive seen climbing gyms have coworking tables before so I guess this isnt too much of a stretch.

@adam-
A few years ago I worked on a project for the Bill and Melina Gates Foundation called 100 Homes. It re-examined the Indian census and let people interact with a subset of the data in a deeper and more meaningful way. As I lean more into data analytics in 2025, I aim to bring a similar approach to onchain data. If you're curious and want to interact with the findings from this project you can do so here: https://onehundredhomes.in/the-homes

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 😁

A community cafeteria. Was just talking about how every neighbourhood needs a come and go as you wish food space. Chef's Together at Lanna served this purpose pretty well. Related sidenote: Community ovens feel like theyre a predecessor to this. Apparently a very old and cross-cultural phenomena. https://www.citynibbler.com/home/2019/2/20/communal-ovens-morocco?format=amp

Yes! Just for a few weeks. Honestly it made it hard to go back to the mainland after and visit some of Japan's bigger cities. The islands were bustling and calm at the same time, but I have a growing suspicion that I just really like any kind of port town/city on the water 😁

Adding Sanmiwago to the list of contenders. Might be a bit far for some folks but if we want to make this a crawl I think flushing is the best bet

I would think a combo of better night time weather to socialize in plus a more polychronic culture. I find the former is usually paired with more collectivist cultures...meals were/are social gatherings.

iI's wild to me that we live in a world where web2 people and web3 people can each write a thorough well-cited essay on the same topic and probably have zero cited sources in common.

some of the most interesting content on reddit is often from throwaway or pseudonym accounts which are essentially “anon” to all other users: - advice posts for sensitive situations or most ask men/women posts, like what’s the best thing your ex did in bed - AITAH - NoStupidQuestions - confessions this content digs at the complexity of human nature, often with unfiltered, authentic perspectives, that appeals to millions of users. this type of content on the anon accounts doesn’t get good engagement (and none seems to have graduated to the X account), perhaps due to public likes or the flat nature of reply threads where it seems like only one person is conversing. instead, the majority of content that breaks through is the same content that’d break through without anon accounts: memes, shills, and dunks. and because anon is still relatively small, the breakthrough content risks reading as in-group. excited to watch these projects continue to iterate because i see it as a big, big opportunity.
