Hi! What a great personal project! I was trying to scrape a page and use GPT to analyze it, and then send me an email IF there was a certain type of (fuzzily defined) content on the page. How would I add the conditional check/step on t

On the surface your thought might seem valid, but it is not. The reason a community like WomenMake is valid and important while something like MenMake is not, is because women have and still do face systemic discrimination in society, and i

Contact info summary is great. Something I'd love to have is exporting friends' birthdays into my calendar. That and contact info is really all I need from Facebook.

Those salaries are low and that's a problem, but a nice 2 bed place in SF 10 min from downtown is what - $5000-7000/mo? The rent relative to income seem similar/worse in SF?

This is a seriously great list of high-impact possibilities - I especially like the alternatives to university. Your thinking is clear and logical. +1

I totally agree with this. It creates amazing short-term opportunity for many, but possibly at large cost to society long-term. I also find it interesting that the two examples you gave, Uber drivers and Amazon shelf stacking, are two that

That's an interesting point that we haven't encountered at all. I think open source projects aren't always set up for receiving money (and thus causing tax issues) whereas musicians would normally be set up to handle their ta

Thanks Matt! Give it a try and let us know how we can make it better!

Hey detaro, thanks for the comments. Artists can sign up and claim tips directly, we send the money and that's it! You can always see the status of your tips, and can also claim them back if they haven't been claimed. We want to b

Hey afandian, It's a similar concept, although tip4commit was causing issues with gaming/controller what gets works on, where as Huzza is for tipping songs and musicians that already exist, so we don't see the same problem ha

Great! Let's us know if you have any feedback, we're building Huzza for you!

Thanks! Two ways: 1) The default currency is Bitcoin, so fees are so low we can achieve this. 2) With both Bitcoin and Credit Cards, we have a topup model where you topup with, say, $3, and then can send many tips until your balance runs ou

Thanks for the great summary, saved me time and was a great snapshot of the take aways.

This is what we're aiming for - since there is no content being bought, it's really just a donation. In terms of getting the money to the artists, this is definitely an important and difficult part - but we're going to start

Hi, thanks for the feedback! We agree that for now Bitcoins constrict us to a relatively small community - which is why we will be supporting credit cards in the near future! (And thanks for the link to Amazon micropayments +1!) We plan to
