The main point of Nostr identity is not that it would be more or less secure (there can be an argument made that because you can't change keys, identity theft is total, you have to start over).

But Google can cancel your account. There's a story of a guy who sent a photo of his kids penis to his kid's pediatrician to quickly diagnose a rash and the photo was flagged and his account disabled. He couldn't access his email or any website where he used google login.

Your google account can be cancelled, but you can still sign messages (and thus login) with your Nostr key.

The signers keep the key hopefully safe.

I want to make remote signer work well in my app. Any best practices document for the agent to use? Or JavaScript/typescript libraries?

What's the best value (foss, easy to admin) nostr relay (also for auth) and blossom server package?

Is von der demon generally liked or disliked by Europeans?

Juraj @Juraj 1783939659

Either completely unknown by most people or despised. I don't know anyone who likes her.

The merchant doesn't have to. I'm saying that customers can pay merchants and they can run their own node. With PayPal, both sides have to be in the walled garden. With lightning, both can be sovereign, but it's also good for sovereign merchants to get paid from client's custodial wallet. They couldn't care less where the payment comes from. They don't even know.

Based Truth · 4d

Sovereign merchants still serve the state, taxed and regulated, while PayPal serves the elite, like Peter Thiel.

When AI takes the jobs, won't Universal Basic Income — or its more ambitious cousin, Universal High Income — cushion the landing? It sounds intuitive: automation creates a vast surplus, so we redistribute it and everyone's fine. But ask a single question — who actually pays for it? — and the whole architecture starts to crack. Because the ultra-productive AI companies sit in San Francisco and Seattle, while the social cost of disruption lands on Slovakia, Eastern Europe, and most of the world outside the Anglo-American core. The tax base is in the wrong jurisdiction. And that's only one of the problems. The piece walks through the four proposed ways to fund UBI through the lens of Austrian economics, and shows why each one either fails or distorts — especially for small open economies.

Excellent piece. The reason why the EU and soon all other governments do the opposite is that they are rent seekers too. Collapsing income numbers is also collapsing tax revenue.

Hurvajs Rumcajs · 3d

Yep, I was thinking about the same thing. How could possibly UBI work in countries that can't tax AI companies, because they have none? Also AI will be very good and quick at tax evasion. Much better than any company today. Now imagine the open source AIs being very good as a tax evasion adviser. T...

Theo Hague · 3d

There is another way to pay for it; cutting most of the existing social expenditures and replacing it with a UBI. I highly doubt that is feasible though.

Keď nám AI vezme prácu, vyrieši to bezpodmienečný základný príjem (UBI), či dokonca bezpodmienečný vysoký príjem (UHI)? Znie to intuitívne — automatizácia vytvorí obrovský prebytok, tak ho prerozdelíme a všetci sa máme dobre. Lenže stačí položiť jedinú otázku: "kto to vlastne zaplatí?" — a celá tá samozrejmosť sa začne rúcať. Pretože produktívne AI firmy sedia v San Franciscu a Seattli, kým sociálne náklady disrupcie nesie Slovensko, východná Európa a väčšina sveta mimo anglo-amerického jadra. Daňový základ je v zlej jurisdikcii. A to je len jeden z problémov. V článku rozoberám štyri navrhované spôsoby financovania UBI cez optiku rakúskej ekonómie a ukazujem, prečo každý z nich buď nefunguje, alebo deformuje — najmä pre malé otvorené ekonomiky ako tá naša.

ultimately there is no meaningful difference between PayPal, cash app and venmo and custodial lightning.

Juraj @Juraj 1783518992

There is a huge difference.

Even custodial lightning allows you to participate in the Bitcoin economy. It allows you to interact with fully sovereign merchants for example. It gives you more options.

And optionality is a form of freedom.

Hanshan · 6d

PayPal cashapp and venmo are also "more options" that allow you to interact with more different merchants. and if optionality is a form of freedom, by that yardstick they offer orders of magnitude more "freedom" than custodial lightning does. and in what way is a merchant "sovereign" if they rely...
