Any reading on 1? I was thinking about how America gained ground in the world, from early colonial, to the industrial revolution, to the internet giants. I haven't read much about the Mississippi in relation to that era of our industry

I view this as a major failing of our payments infrastructure. I have no way to send a few cents to a business digitally.

Really? I didn't see anything about Russia in that article. It seemed mostly about sweetheart loans for Trump in exchange for holding money or buying bonds from Deutsche.

Strongly agree. Go feels great to write. I hesitate when designing a new project in C++ because I need to figure out the right / clever way to implement something. Go feels a lot more straight forward where I can just write it in the o

Large loans and real estate deals are not the type of money laundering this software detects. It is looking for unusual transaction flows between accounts. For example, if an account receives large amounts money for inconsistent purposes (e

I was thinking recently that kites could make great signaling mechanisms for backpackers. It would be relatively light in your pack and can get a location noticed if you got lost. I'll have to dig through this site for simple designs t

Where I live the streets are so much better than the bike paths. I tend to residential since they're quieter but damn, I would love to have some nicely maintained dedicated lanes.

Downvoted for the frothy edit. Chill out there ya toughy. Someone clearly hit a soft spot on you.

Not sure about non-US law. In the US, you would need to register as a federal money service business (MSB), as well as in all 50 states (it costs about $150k in state level fees to do so). In addition to this, it is (from my research) incre

Could you describe a more specific use case? In the US, P2P is much more difficult than consumer to business.

Do you serve (US) money service businesses?

I just lived the last 10 months without a car. There needs to be a big asterisk of not driving would increase your quality of life if there is alternative transit in place. It's pretty miserable when the nearest activities are a 45 min

I'm actually delighted to hear this. Every company seems to have slapped on a send money button on their app (gmail, fb, snapchat come to mind). My understanding is they were all taking a loss in hopes that it massively took off and th

I can leave a phone in a drawer for the 4 times a year I do this.

I feel the best test was "did you get breached? what data was taken?", if the answers are yes and PII, you were collecting data that you didn't have the capability to protect and should face a fine. There is a lot a company c

This would be awesome if it applied to security breaches as well. Not sure how you would fine OPM, but there are a ton of consumer companies that have leaked data like a sieve.

You can cause a scene earlier, break windows, set off car alarms. That's a lot harder once you're in a vehicle or in a house being held.

I am honestly surprised that Dragon Fly is the last straw for people at Google. The company is the embodiment of surveillance capitalism. Why is there no talk about changing that model? It just seems the activists there are piling on the &q

I wish they made bathroom sinks taller. It would be nice to not hunch over to wash my hands. Desk height is super important. Extended work hunched over really messes with your back.

In an ideal world I would prefer to reduce zoning so I could live near my work rather than pay a ton for roads that don't support me as a cyclist and transit user. For paying for healthcare, many illnesses are preventable and I do not

I was a "picky eater" who "threw tantrums" when I was a kid. In college I ate every other day because food made me feel so shitty. Should I never talk about my food-related autoimmune issues because I had the money to go

I think this comment is a bit unfair. They weren't belittling the situation in any way. They are concerned about their own kids and posting in a thread about kids and food. You're really tearing into them and I do not think it is

I'm sure it's not universal, but I was super picky growing up and I turned out to be celiac. The food was messing up my body and I think I knew in some way. I wasn't in any way selecting the correct foods, but food was an iss

You frame nimbyism and protectionist housing policies as the will of the people, but I'd take a Chinese city with clean air over 3400 / month in a second. SF housing is broken, I would not put it on a pedestal of being some grand

I would really like a big news service. These focuses might be a little morbid, but like major catastrophes (e.g. Idai), a single pre election explaining the stances, a post election on the results. Right now articles are being written on o

That's a weird assumption. I hate politics due to the influence of money, first past the post voting, and gerrymandering.

I would be pretty proud of a company that could take people from various backgrounds and education levels, make them productive, and enable them to earn a good living. Same goes for a city.
