dumb question i’ve always wondered but never put in effort to figure out why is there no edit button on farcaster app?

I think: - prediction markets are bad for crypto - coins tied to people & clout are stupid in my humble opinion, gambling & ‘celebrity coins’ gives a horrible rap for crypto to people who don’t care about celebrities. Most people only give value to those who help them in a tangible way - the local relationships and friend groups - The people we connect with conversationally it’s mind boggling to me we have yet to figure out a form of internet social where the decentralized, localized form of human connection is valued most.

yesterday, I shipped ⛵ found 1 potential power user out of 7 friend shares so far the near-future priority is to find & talk to more potential power users

a toxic culture is the requirement to ask for permission to do something. do it; ask for feedback after

my hope is to build something very useful for a lot of people it is difficult to resign to small world thinking of simply ‘helping your neighbor’

I find it ironic that social media apps are not all that social for most people

Does anyone else find it weird that a core aspect of real life identity / branding is determined by something uncontrollable? i.e your parents giving you a firstname/lastname normalize nicknames !

Given a two-way market, how to calculate house rake? Example: Given the moneyline for 2025 World Series Game 6 is: Dodgers: -138 Bluejays: +118 1. convert American odds -> decimal odds -138 -> 1 + 100 / 138 = 1.72 +118 -> 1 + 118 / 100 = 2.18 2. convert Odds -> Probability 1 / 1.72 = 0.58 1 / 2.18 = 0.46 3. Summate probabilities 0.58 + 0.46 = 1.04 4. Analysis House is taking 4% 'vig'.. or 'rake'.. or 'cut' from this particular bet by taking bets from a wider range than is possible. 4% from a simple two-way market. The rake becomes much much **much** higher when users submit parlays. Most gambling platforms are parasitic blood-sucking vampires. But, they make a shitton, and therefore is the most lucrative, easy, and lowest hanging fruit for people.. so we see celebrity make the mistake to shill it out... & also far too many builders focusing on it. This presents how important transparency is. In the endgame, gambling is all PVP, and the platform is simply noise. It is cool to analyze and try to predict the future, but it can be done in an ethical way (but hurts marketing spend). My recommendation is to be clear on rake structures - an aspect performed extremely well by Poker platforms & venues. i always wonder what people could be doing better with their time which is more fun, constructive, meaningful. src https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ii1ROzeSwU fanduel.com

Do we think emotions are a consumable / limited resource? When one experiences emotion, do they emit a life energy you have to recharge?

I face my fear of heights by imagining myself stepping up to the ledge of a tall canyon and remaining calm. Is this how I can become fearless?

In order to acquire an inactive subreddit, I have to farm a new account's karma to 100 post / comment karma Given I refuse to do this in a disingenuous/illegitimate manner (reposting cat video, comment puns on cat posts), I am forced to grind... Well it'd be nice if there is one day an alternative place to grow the community for my startup, other than reddit.
