Awesome work! I would recommend showing a comparison table of the cost of some of your competitors and your product. I use customer.io for a side project and it's crazy expensive (I think like $150 a month), so it would (a) help showca

This makes a ton of sense as a browser extension, why not go that route? With this, I still have to google your site (or at least type it into the url bar if i remember the exact url)

I'm a buyer at this point. We'll see how earnings turn out tomorrow, but no matter how bad the macro environment, I think $COIN at 7 P/E is a good buy long-term.

I'm pumped for Beeper but have been on the wait list 6 months now, and am wondering if they're having implementation issues.

Where do you get your data from? I've found sports data (especially odds/lines) to be overly expensive when trying to build hobby apps.

This is perfect timing! I just launched a bootstrapped company and thought Typeform's 10 free submissions per month was kind of crazy. Look forward to trying y'all out.

Wow. Just had to say I'm turning 35 this month and had the exact same epiphany when listening to the "Time" recently. When I was young and in my 20's I would get high and listen to it and just loved the way it sounded. B

You could put it that way. I'm a huge fan of sports betting, poker, blackjack, you name it and have been gambling for well over a decade and this is something I enjoyed back when it existed as CentSports (2008-2011 era). So I'm ju

Haha exactly, actually talked to one of the cofounders before writing any code to figure out what happened to them. TLDR: when the DOJ cracked down on offshore sports books it cut off their revenue.

I just released a barebones MVP yesterday for a sports betting site with a little twist: We give users a little bit of money each week to play with ($0.50 right now) and if they can run it up past a certain point we'll pay them out in

I think you're conflating the ability to profit from a region with the ability to hire from a region. You can still get your chunk of that GDP by selling services/goods there even if you don't have employees there.

> they leaked information about 20% of the earth's population This is straight up false. It was scrapers extracting data from public profiles. They already incorporate anti-scraping techniques, so there's not much they can do

Inequality seems like a meaningless metric. It's not a good measure of a society's well being. For example, let's assume a country of 10 where 9 people have $1 million and 1 person has $100 trillion. The inequality is massive

Just out of curiosity, what was your use case? I've thought about making a SaaS out of this in the past as a side project but not sure who the ideal customer would be.

Commission model is going nowhere. Ask anyone who trades for a living. They pay handsomely for direct market access.

It's frankly scary that this line of thinking has become so in vogue. Let's exacerbate the definition of something to the point that it must be censored. Example: "takes a disproportionate amount of effort to refute" -&

Why is this being flagged? It raises many valid points against Propublica's article which was more misleading than this piece or its title.

Are you saying an opinion piece stating that we should leave open the possibility of a leak is misinformation? That doesn't make any sense.

No, the twitter rules don't make caveats for different positions in society. They are blanket rules that should apply to everyone equally but are not. That's the entire point I'm making.
