   1) We want to do things like this: https://x.com/manapoolinc/status/1704199592601080241?s=20 2) We have low fees (5%) and my vision is zero fees, with all revenue coming from value-add SaaS for buyers and sellers.

   could you please email me at andrew@manapool.com so I can get the details of your network and device? We are using svelte for the front end, which I like and does interesting things with letting you decide what to SSR… but it’d be nice if w

    I am building a marketplace focused 100% on Magic: The Gathering, which I have played for 30 years. Biggest issues are inventory and buyer-side bugs now. I wished I would have shipped a few months ago, got caught up on a feature I didn&#x27

    That reddit used to be an IRC and before that a usenet. The wheel turns.

    He's not unethical, just lazy. He should make better tests, and update them every term. He doesn't need to frame the questions the same way each year.

    It’s not more fraught than stack overflow, plus it explains itself, so you can check it’s reasoning and it’s code.

    I use AI to help my productivity while coding a lot. I handle the big system, it spits out code for me where i know what i want but don’t know the libraries/syntax.

    Mobile was a huge boom for indie development too, across all categories. AI will be the same.

    In the US, the CDC has been really bad at providing health information, and the FDA has been really bad at providing food safety info. They also don’t have incentive alignment (incentives are mostly to grow the bureaucracy and serve careers

    Cap sets a valuation cap, say $20M, and the safe converts to equity at the lesser of the cap and the valuation of the later round.

    InfoWars made $800K in one day, not _per_ day. Jones claims that was their best day ever. Which makes total sense to me... businesses have huge boom days, and plaintiff lawyers will happily imply you should multiply that figure by 365 days.

    It seems disrespectful to my wife and the camps to refuse to be available for emergencies.

    I just can’t… it might be some counselor’s random cell phone calling me. Plus the kids go to many camps per summer, and many activities during the year, so I’d be constantly updating my phone book even if not for the main issue.

    The issue for me is, for example, my wife drops my kid off for a camp and then the camp calls me in an emergency. So I can’t just only take notifications from known callers.

    Having a family and responsibilities made this infeasible for me. Most apps on my phone are denied notifications, but people can still text/call me.

    To what extent can this be automated? There are apps to fight parking/speeding tickets... could the same be done for little lawsuits to sue spammers? Maybe a lawyer could comment on feasibility of this.

    There is actually no particular law against insider trading at all, not even related to equities… it’s all securities and wire fraud. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-02/don-t-...
