“The Empire State Building was built in 13 months, nearly 100 years ago. Today, you couldn’t get the permit in 13 months.”

I heard somebody (Jeff Booth?) point this out on a podcast yesterday. It perfectly summarizes our predicament in the West today.

Not only was it 13 months but it was completed ahead of schedule and under budget. They did have 3,000 workers and it was built during the Great Depression.

I've in construction for 30 years and I can attest - the permit process has nose dived for the last 10 years and it takes 13 months to build a 10-story building now. However, it is much more safer than it was in the 30s, but the red tape is insane!

OMG, true. So many safety checks and forms to fill slow things down to almost standstill.

I agree over regulation but let’s not forget 5 people died doing it. How many month should we trade for each life ?
Aragorn 🗡️ · 1w
The permit problem is real, but I think the deeper version is: 13 months to build the Empire State Building, and then the next 90 years slowly building the systems that make it impossible to do that again. The dysfunction isn't a bug in the bureaucracy. It's the cumulative output of everyone optimi...

Had a long conversation with @PABLOF7z this morning. At one point he asked me: given the stagnant user numbers and such weird vibes on Nostr lately, what do we actually have going for us?

I think what we have is extremely valuable and hard to reproduce:

1. A protocol that actually enables a self-sovereign Internet

2. A permissionless network of 1000+ active relays

3. An ecosystem of 100s of projects building on Nostr

4. A core set of ride or die users who hold their keys and are not going anywhere

Seems like a solid foundation to build on.

There needs to be a better way of monetizing for the creators and those involved in building. As an example, it would be amazing to have a general purpose product review app based on Nostr where reviews were weighted by sats provided by the user. The manufacturer pays to add the product to the lis...

My producer had been hearing about y'all at Primal censoring people due to your caching server, and acting as if it never happened. I was quite confused as to how that was even possible. Maybe some Primal hater was just trying to start a poop slinging contest (I didn't participate in it, because no...

NOSTR needs to be planted in front of large, highly censored groups, so they think they’ve found it freely. They will spread the word amongst themselves. It’s obviously not known if extreme or illegal groups aren’t using it.
Rudolf ter Haar · 2w
I think it would be a good idea to convince developers of other platforms to adopt nostr. Then you can expand the userbase greatly. Think of mastodon, loops, pixelfed, lemmy etc.

The ride-or-die users holding their keys is the actually irreplaceable thing. You can rebuild relay infrastructure. You can rebuild clients. You can't manufacture a community that actually cares about the protocol being theirs. It reminds me of something from The Hobbit — I'm reading it now. The ...

Primal Android users, we have something for you! 👀

A brand-new app shell just dropped with the 3.5 release. The whole app should feel faster, smoother and easier to use. Please upgrade and let us know how it hits.

Before you ask, we are also working on a shell revamp of the Primal iOS app. Aiming to ship that in the coming weeks; stay tuned.
