Plugging is okay, but you should always disclose if you are involved (which appears to be the case here based on your username).

Twitter's visibility filtering wasn't based on "Your" User Behavior. It was based on what their moderation team decided to filter or not filter.

[2] is referring to 1inch offering 8.05% APY on the 1inch token _only_, which is easy when only 621m out of 1.5b tokens are circulating (i.e. more 1inch tokens are printed to pay the fake interest).

I think you need to work on iOS support, or this will not take off. P.S. Beautiful project for a problem that definitely needs solving.

Why not implement the tried and true fingerprint verification? Quite easy to do when you're having synchronous, lively video/audio conversations.

They absolutely didn't pay list price. Even the rookiest AWS account manager is going to be able to get a discount on $600k of compute.

No, it won't. A single miner has chosen to *not include* TC transactions in their blocks, but they are not *censoring* TC transactions in the sense that they will validly build upon blocks built by others that feature TC transactions.

Is there really great marketplace demand? The hacker/hobbyist community is tiny.

If your hearing aid is made from Apple, you're probably going to be locked in to Apple products for as long as you don't replace your hearing aid.

47% taxes above A$180k/yr (US$125k/yr). Very little loopholes like in the US that allow you to reduce your tax paid. So considerably less monetary incentive to 'make it big'. For entrepreneurs who want to do that, why no

How can you even buy a 1/4 acre house without making millions? Those go for $2-5 million in Sydney.

The T1 runs an iOS variant because Apple understands that if you can re-use security primitives (Secure Encave from IOS), you have less surface area for attacks and you have a more secure product. There is absolutely no need for a separate

Yeah but Apple products are so expensive, outside of the USA, most[1] people still use Android simply because their budget for a phone is maybe ~$300-$400 and they don't want a SE with the body from 5 years ago. [1]: 73% according to S

This is actually bad news because a super-hot labour market tends to lead to higher inflation; forcing the Fed to artificially slow down the economy even more and increasing the chances that they land with a recession.

Insightful observation. Arab Spring changed Facebook and social media, across the whole world. Don't forget the AI moderation-on-post. Just recently, a popular 'influencer' posted a scam. I left a comment saying such, along w

Things I wish messaging apps had: 1. Forward a message to someone else. Sometimes you're not the best person to answer, but a colleague is. Forwarding should be easy and feature minimal friction. 2. Auto-deleting of messages in a DM af

Okay, OVH is not realistic, but at Uber scale, you can certainly roll your own data-centres and get costs lower than, or similar to OVH, even when including the cost of sysadmin and maintenance. Yes, it means you won't get all the shin

I just do not understand how ridesharing cannot turn a profit. Let's look at unit economics: ~25% take rate on a ride ($15 average): $3.75 take Payment processing: 2.5% + 30c = $0.68 Servers / datacenters: $0.20 (for a margin-sens

Rates went down because the underlying economy was seeing slowing growth; particularly due to impacts of the trade war.

Amazon's fulfilment system co-mingles. Checking the seller is pointless, it is an accounting thing only. If it's fulfilled by amazon, then the source can come from _any_ FBA merchant.

Don't think so, as part of signing up to become an Amazon Flex worker, the app explicitly suggests you create a separate Amazon account.

If you make residential investment more expensive (through taxes), you will have less interested investors. This reduces the number of interested parties for home ownership, which means that the remaining parties (i.e. owner occupiers) pay

Without regressing to another ad-infinitum housing discussion, real estate involves two markets: rentals/living, and ownership. Some people want to own their own home and live in it (owner occupiers); these people however compete with
