what does "good results" mean? i'm not being obtuse - these are real questions at the heart of it. i don't think the idea of "global" makes a lot of sense for an open, permissonless protocol that constitutes a decentralized network. there is **only** personalized and points of view. the best way to fake global in a pov-based paradigm is to choose - from YOUR pov - a highly connected or highly trusted node (or many) and use them as a sort of preview for a new user. whether that's a "good result" will depend on whether or not you and the new user have similar preferences and taste. you can't get away from pov. say the "global" preview was overwhelmingly bitcoiners, or movie piraters, or cat lovers or christians - this is going to be determined by whose follow and trust pov you select: same networks, many different ways to look at it, none of which are objective nor without point of view and curation - after all, this is the entire point of follows, right? personal curation of the firehose. that's not even mentioning yet that an unknown number of relays may be online and very active yet solidly in a blind spot for you and everyone you're following. the idea of "global" runs out of legs to stand on in light of that extra wrinkle. ...longwinded, sorry, but the upshot is - in my personal opinion: lean in to these facts and be transparent about them. clients, services and onboarding experiences can and should (and necessarily must) be opinioinated and somewhat scoped. any kind of search, filter, recommendation or other curation definitionally has to come from some "curator's" point of view and lens. so make this clear in the ui/ux. use your own or a "celebrity's" as an example, but understand the defacto centralization and influencer consolidation risk involved. my current favorite approach: however someone found a nostr service, the pov could be seeded with that referrer's network. it's natural, unsurprising to the newcomer, and incentivizes curators to emerge. a friend sent a link: you see stuff you'd expect, knowing your friend. a programming blogger includes a link: you see things you'd expect from a programming blogger. someone who makes it their personal goal to **grow nostr DAU with gereral appeal to a wide audience**: you'd see something of a "global", if they're doing their job correctly! there are a lot of gaping holes in that approach on a tactical, operational level, but i think the spirit is correct

Too sexy for X! I didn't verify this is real, I just wanted to be first to make the joke. nostr:nevent1qqsq6xt8qc67lygdyh59gdxuns20ukvk5m98d36s264gfsmm50xnrqqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzq4k2m0yzrxvlqwzjvlhk600m5yycwa9n5qe6vy8f7glcjnl4sqpzvn9dq4

Half the internet posts I see are people whining they didn't get a promotion they feel they deserve. Meanwhile all the real humans I know only accept ranks grudgingly and don't feel they've earned the belt they have.

This does more for my productivity than any other hack. Carry a notepad, write down a task as soon as you think of it. I have the memory of a pothead goldfish so when I finish a thing I look at the list. Otherwise I wouldn't remember and go slack off instead. nostr:nevent1qqstghdhk02v03hwwzyy0xj6mgyj8wyce05vyww263vw9rnqd0zhgcgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyqxfuhshl0042hh5rkhncwsevayusj8ec7gevmesltj7fszgp6rskge55aq

I don't remember if I reviewed the book House Of Leaves when I finished it, so here we go. At its base, a Lovecraft style horror. It is to my knowledge absolutely unique in the genre. There are layers of the story designed in such a way that the reader is in the world of the horror and potentially victim to the monster. Also unique in my reading experience is the way that the book absolutely ignored every convention of book layout for effect. Font, color, and layout are all abused. Repeatedly I found myself flipping back to see how far back a trick had been played on me. More than once when I realized how the book was sucking me into the story I swore out loud. I do not exaggerate at all when I say you need a real physical copy of this book if you plan to read it. An ebook or audiobook absolutely will not do the job. You couldn't convert it without destroying the artistic merit, think braille playboy. I finished it months ago and I still think about it regularly. I have added other books by Mark Z. Danielewski to my to read.

I had considered previously that he was actually working on a genius plan to to sabotage the petrodollar and bring in hyperbitcoinization. But I don't think that's the case. He hates looking bad. I don't think he could play this role for this long without snapping.
