Life in Vietnam

12:54 AM - Hive

Living in Vietnam was good. I didn't run into too many mosquitoes except one time which resulted in going to the hospital in 2013. I drank a lot of good water in Vietnam. I had some challenges in Vietnam but also had many fun adventures too.

Hardfork Coming For Hive

10:37 PM - Hive

I do not believe anything can be overvalued. I disagree with the philosophy behind the line of thinking and everything relating to the need to correct something like that.

---

To use an analogy to help explain what I mean, it is like disliking a video on YouTube solely on the opinion the video received too many likes. Well, technically, a dislike does not displace a like. And that is my concern with how a downvote can minimize the upvotes on Hive.

---

Yeah, I guess flagging or downvoting can discourage and minimize spam, plagiarism, repetition, low value content, copyright infringement, boring posts, unwanted posts, illegal content, etc. So, long story short, I'm not totally against a desire at policing. But specifically in regards to trying to counter overvalued posts in particular, I find that to be way too hypothetical and possibly a version of robbery.

---

I guess it all depends on how the rewards pool works and the details therein meaning I understand the logic of trying to vote down posts which may be overvalued. I can sympathize, empathize, realize the point of view people have, but I also find it to be dangerous to try to stop people from making too much money or to stop posts from making more money than they deserve to.

---

My philosophy would be if you think a post got too much money, then simply upvote other posts, share these other posts in order to get many people to upvote these other posts. In doing so, then you may keep many more people from voting for the overvalued post and voting for other posts should be able to water down the total value or percentage of how much the overvalued post would get during payout 7 days later.

I don't know what linear curve means for Hive, I don't know what kind of curve it currently have, but I have fingers crossed.

Nintendo Talk

11:12 PM - Hive

Well, Nintendo was competing with SEGA who did pretty good before Sony arrived. SEGA and Nintendo kind of went back and forth but yeah Nintendo was pretty much number one since 1985 and through the early 1990s.

Which toilets are the best?

11:28 PM - Hive

I squat over modern toilets, it is still possible to relax over these toilets and I don't want to poop into a hole in the floor. The problems people have are not simply the position of their toilets as that is more a symptom.

Date My Dad 101

2021-05-01 - Saturday - 11:39 AM - 12:24 AM - Date My Dad 101

He is 40 and I am 36. I am not sure how I feel about this. He is a dad of 3 girls and his wife died 3 years ago. His girls want him to date again and they try to help him. He looks old and I think I look younger. It is not child labor but simple house chores. Paying them is fine. Kids should work. You cannot grow up and learn how to work if you don't learn gradually. Police came and said you cannot work at home. That is bad. That police man is bad. You should have the right to work at home and without the need for government regulated permits.
