That’s such a good corollary.

Um no. I didn’t say “no one.” I said who and for what reason. In my opinion, some rando startup deciding to do it (no offense to @knurled99); or a hypothetical rando VC deciding to back it still doesn’t make it a real threat to the sector.

Fair enough, I wish you luck.

Congrats on making something - I wish you luck. I don’t think blockchain adds anything novel to the functionality you describe. The ability to get a cryptographic hash of a document has existed for a very long time. As have signature files

If you’ve only been online for 20 years then you missed the best of it. Nothing truly new has been invented on the internet after 2000. By then I think we had www, email, irc, geocities, aol, search engines, e-commerce, napster, etc. Everyt

You suggest Docusign could compromise their core business and therefore the customer problem is lack of trust in Docusign? So how big is such a market of potential customers that don’t trust Docusign to not tamper with the attestation? I’d

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. That there is money to be made on industry solutions is not in dispute. The point in dispute is that decentralized blockchain based solution makes any sense. Other than to attract VCs who don’t

Agree. I think if the solution is auditable you’re OK. Many companies take first party accountability for capturing recurring credit card consent from customers and store the “proof” as an auto able document.

I hear this a lot, blockchain is going to replace X accepted industry solution. I always go back to, who’s going to invest in actually building the new blockchain solution and for what reason? Big companies pay other big companies like Docu

It’s awful and I wish the fad would go away. Just please stop. I work at a fortune 100 company where a team just had to write off over 2 years of development at over $10M. Executives were sold a no-code solution and then instructed their te

I read about this a while ago, not sure if it’s helpful since I don’t think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. Seems like you need collaborators to make this work. https://mycelium-mesh.net/category/about.html

I agree scarcity is the issue but I think income scarcity is the greater macro driver but made worse by artificial housing scarcity. I think that’s why the divide between housing prices and income is growing. Without income scarcity I don’t

I’m not sure that it’s as simple as that. If you think about the sample metro areas in tfa you see sources of high income potential as corporate headquarters and high paying jobs are centered around those metros. That in effect creates high

That’s how I read the situation. I think FB is cool for Gen-X and above and they are trying desperately to appeal to a younger audience. They have no where to go but down if they don’t figure that out.

You made a set of reasonable decisions that only now seem like you missed out on something. Consider you’d have had to get in early and spend what almost a decade to get to here?

100%. Why are we OK with smart people ripping anyone off? Just because investors have excess wealth it’s OK to steal from them?

Right, the narrative could alternatively read “America’s top trade partner” just as well.

This falls well short of positronic brain powered robots that I was expecting U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc. would be offering by now.

reminds me of the old apache project sites where they would tell you the latest version, changelog and how to download from a mirror site but somehow not tell you what the project even is.

The article misses the point of insurance (which AppleCare actually isn’t technically). AppleCare is an extend warranty program which includes accidental damage coverage. There is a manufacturer/ customer relationship component here th

I wish there was something like this for banking, insurance or other financial products. What a pain in the butt to move to a new primary checking account, wait in a queue to talk to someone about canceling your insurance or to move an IRA

I work at a big corporate and we use a national workplace survey that asks if you have a best friend at the office. It’s one of the measures or organization health. I see the survey results across a pretty big portion of the organization s

I interpret this to be due to large scale gatherings or reduced mask and social distancing combined with a more aggressive variant. To me, your comment read like being vaccinated itself is some disadvantage to the infection rate, is that ho

Am I the only one that thinks it’s ironic that a company called “bubble” just raised $100M?
