I don't know about Gravity Payments but one of the huge money making machine in credit industry is collections. If you can figure out tricks to have people pay off their debt without getting dragged into expensive court, you get a huge

Not "we", but people like you certainly. There is no "credibility" if there is no real evidence. History is full of journalists creating sensational articles and amplifying things out of proportion to sale news papers. T

It doesn't implement the algorithm but not for the reasons you described. The fundamental issue that this algorithm solves is whether to keep waiting for something better to pop up or accept what you have now. The fundamental constrain

Why should transaction "cost" anything? It is just running arithmetic instruction on a number in a computer. I would argue batch processing makes no sense. If you send me me $10 and I send you $5 and bank wait for a month to run t

I didn't bought house for 10 years but when I finally did, I realized the ownership of house essentially meant living in it without actually paying for it. The house appreciated so much that if we sell then it will be like we actually

I still haven't understood why credit cards companies need to go through this complex multi-hop "settlement" pipeline that takes almost a day for transactions to get "processed". Is it because some banks still depen

I really don’t get what is this panic about TikTok. When I used it for the first time, it just kept throwing soft porn videos. I see how people would get “addicted” but I don’t see it becoming any more mainstream than many similar websites.

Ultimate goal is to create molecules with desired properties. For example, you might say that I want material that is as hard as turtle shell. Or molecules that makes up transparent eye material. So first question is how do you go from prop

I used to think that Bitcoin has no assets underneath it like all experts says. However, I have changed my views. There are ultra-libertarian type folks who will rather risk tremendous losses than give in to their principles. These are prob

You remind of me Seinfeld episode where Ellen's boss is trying to see what Ellen is seeing in some random art. There is an entire world of elite snobs out there who take pride in being special to see X in Y and scoff at people who don&

So this is $3500 EV vehicle that has 40 miles range and 25 mph max speed. Few tweaks here and there and these will be perfect to sell in US or anywhere else. Tesla needs to up their game on getting $5k/$10k EVs delivered or their dream

My lesson from Clubhouse is that if you want to make social media app then you either need to be lucky or able to enlist tons of celebrities. MySpace, Twitter and Clubhouse are all examples of how they skyrocketed as celebrities pulled in a

As people pour in, it appears I am the only one left with contrarian view. I had watched this movie and didn't realize the scene was really all that special. I couldn't even recall it, let alone remember it forever. I have seen pe

The huge problem in many US states is that nothing is well defined in family courts. Virtually all answers from lawyers is “court can do anything”. For example, there is a good definition of separate property but it still doesn’t mean that

I'd say this is rather distribution at work. To build software competitively you need fairly good people and not a lot them would want to end up at Hertz. Places like Hertz are not tech companies which also often makes them very low

The entire business idea of these "services" is to get cheap labor, pay them $30/hr and charge clients $300/hr. Why companies go for this? Because they can't build their own IT, they have failed all the times and th
