I use the gym analogy because it provides a visual representation of "proof of work," which is difficult to picture when talking about machines and hashing algorithms.

At a gym, not everyone must lift, but everyone must do some kind of work to get benefits. If someone were to show up at a gym and scroll Twitter all day and never get on a treadmill or use a machine, that wouldn’t be immoral, but it would be quite odd. The weights are not the important part. Burning energy is.

She might say, "But I don’t have enough energy to burn! I need to save what few calories I have." Ok, that’s fine, just recognize that this is a place where people come to benefit from proving that they wasted energy. It requires that an individual be capable of provisioning a surplus of resources such that he has extra to waste without doing harm to himself. This signals fitness.

It only takes 500 satoshis to boost (and it could be much less). This is doable by anyone. If it is not, then I would like to help you increase your productivity such that wasting satoshis becomes as comfortable as burning calories on the treadmill.

Great! Could you open up the hls repo so that i can make a PR? The 1st thing to be done is add the lockup contract https://github.com/shruggr/lockup and recrawl the blockchain back to ~10 days to index all lockups.
Then all the lockups will be indexed at api/v1/contracts/[origin].
Once that's done, what we can do for ease of query is create a Lockup db model so that we can create hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and all-time ranking. They came up with the notion of vibe calculated as follow:
`amount locked x ln(blockheight) x 100 `
Hodlocker is trying to be pow.co so let's show them how it's done!

Certainly. The argument appears to be discussing the concept of "signaling," specifically as it relates to economics and biology.

### Key Terms:

1. *Signaling*: In economics and evolutionary biology, signaling refers to an action or trait that conveys information about an individual to observers.

2. *Opportunity Cost*: This is the cost of forgoing the next best alternative when making a decision.

3. *Handicap Principle*: In biology, this principle suggests that more extravagant and costly signals are more reliable; i.e., a deer with large antlers signals that it is fit enough to survive despite carrying the extra weight.

### The Argument:

The argument suggests that we should not underestimate the value of "not paying to signal." This could mean not spending resources (like time or money) to show off a particular trait or quality. According to the argument, this sort of behavior aligns more closely with the "handicap principle."

In the example given, deer with antlers aren't directly competing with deer without antlers (likely females and young males). Having antlers is costly in terms of resources for the deer (e.g., needing more nutrition to grow and carry the antlers). However, the deer don't "lose limbs" or experience extreme costs; they are still functional and survive well enough despite these antlers.

### Interpretation:

In simpler terms, the argument seems to say that not spending resources to signal might actually be a more reliable indicator of some form of 'fitness' (either economic or biological). Just like a deer with large antlers shows it's fit enough to afford growing them, a person who doesn't pay to signal may be demonstrating their ability to succeed without the need for extravagant displays.

The reference to "opportunity cost" implies that by choosing not to engage in costly signaling, an individual might be better positioned to utilize resources for other beneficial activities or investments, thereby possibly showing their 'fitness' in a more effective way.

This is a nuanced argument that blends ideas from economics and evolutionary biology to make a point about social behavior and the ways individuals may choose to display their qualities or strengths.

[Verse 1]

Spanish songs in Andalucía

The shooting site in the days of '39

Oh, please, leave the ventana open

Federico Lorca is dead and gone

Bullet holes in the cemetery walls

The black cars of the Guardia Civil

Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica

I'm flyin' in on a DC 10 tonight

[Chorus]

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh, mi corazón

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh mi corazón

[Verse 2]

Spanish weeks in my disco casino

The freedom fighters died upon the hill

They sang the red flag, they wore the black one

After they died it was Mockingbird Hill

Back home the buses went up in flashes

The Irish tomb was drenched in blood

Spanish bombs shatter the hotels

My señorita's rose was nipped in the bud

[Chorus]

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh, mi corazón

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh mi corazón

[Verse 3]

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"

Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?

With trenches full of poets, the ragged army

Fixin' bayonets to fight the other line

Spanish bombs rock the province

I'm hearin' music from another time

Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava

I'm flyin' in on a DC 10 tonight

[Chorus]

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh mi corazón

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito

Yo te acuerda oh, mi corazón

[Outro]

Oh, mi corazón

Oh, mi corazón

Spanish songs in Andalucía

Mandolina, oh, mi corazón

Spanish songs in Granada

Oh, mi corazón

Oh, mi corazón

Oh, mi corazón

Oh, mi corazón
