Chia is missing from this list.

As they always say, pessimism and cynicism is the mother of all innovation.

Seriously though, this is just a cheap shot at the web3/cryptography/cryptocurrency/de* space.

“Be nice, you might encourage others and if not you can be rest assured that, at the very least, there is one less asshole in this world.”

They’re not camels, they’re AT-AT’s.

E.T. See.

I’m not sure that’s true. I don’t think it takes much. I made a baby sushing album and that’s net me around $70/year.

I made it to help put our daughter to sleep. My wife and I got really tired and it helped to have a recording. I thought that others might find it useful, apparently it does.

Maybe it’s just the utility that brings in listeners, but it’s literally just shushing.

Double dragon II on the NES taught me a lot about the world.

I discovered where “New York” is, what “Nuclear War” is and what a “Crime Syndicate” is, all from the story cutscenes.

I also later learnt that, in real life, big bosses don’t just disentegrate after being defeated.

I’m not sure about this. I don’t think relationship between branches are considered slaves to their master branch (at least I never thought of it that way).

If anything, they’re students that may eventually exceed the capabilities of their master. Much like the apprentice Luke Skywalker and master Yoda.

If it does offend then by all means, make it happen, I’m just not entirely convinced.

Thanks for the explanation!

Do they need to re-enter? Could they not be directed out into the void?

Thank-you for your kind words.

My mum passed a few years ago. I miss her deeply, she was just 59 and she missed the chance to meet her first grandchild.

I live in London and she lived in California, we’d speak to each other a few times a week.

Since she left earth and moved to the universe, she’s become a super awesome space mum! I speak to her everyday.

I do miss the hugs, the laughs and life lessons mind you. Her greatest lesson was when she left this world. It taught me a lot about how I go about my life.

So before I sound too cliché, call your mum and tell her you love her, that’s way cooler than the learning the latest tech!

Love you mum!

Is this tweet some kind of Jedi mind trick?

I know of someone who built something kind of similar [0]. (I’m not affiliated in any way).

Good point!

I believe Jack Ma is now the richest man in Asia. In fact, it’s probably really Ayatollah Khamenei :/

Yes, take a look at the OBIE [0]. You are required to be registered/regulated as an appropriate 'Third Party Processor' (TPP) class, in this case an AISP.

Then you can use an API aggregator service such as SaltEdge, TrueLayer, Teller [1], etc. (I'm not associated with any of these). Or you can try to roll your own.

Well, it might have been obvious but it was certainly not a useless exercise. Some users were really interested and wanted to experiment with it.

Transaction data is read and never stored, just used to processing matches.

The flow was relatively simple, link an account during signup.

The regulation was hard and expensive.

It’s is indeed very difficult to build a good dating experience. I was working on a project that essentially used your bank account (via OpenBanking) as a gatekeeper.

This approach enables you to analyse transaction data and filter potential matches based on similarity metrics, E.g. social, health, travel, financial. Once you had a similar score it would present present a set of profiles that you could choose to try and match.

The idea was to filter out the noise and find people with similar social standing, interests, etc and then allow the single to choose whom they find attractive.

Linking a bank account would also provide an extra layer of security in that the user has already provided a form of national identity. I’m not saying this completely guards against fraud, but it’s certainly more difficult than creating a fake email address.

Unfortunately, one of the major problems was convincing users to link their bank accounts, let alone attempting to build what essentially is a marketplace.

I had been building a dating app that matches based on transactional data. It looks for similarity metrics which act as a filter. It then presents you with picture profiles so you can search for people you like the look of. As you say, sexual attraction is important.

I’ve had to put it on hold because investor sentiment in the U.K. has been negative with the belief that no one will link their bank accounts to find a match (even if we’re transparent, regulated, etc).

I have a HD Homerun and the channels app for that.

I’m using the shield exclusively for smart features and the OLED as a dumb display.

Sadly, we lost my mother to pancreatic cancer. She always had an allergy to garlic, it would leave her extremely bloated and uncomfortable.

Just to clarify, I was talking about inner city. Most existing apartment blocks (in London) don’t have charge points available in their car park.

On top of that, I find public charging points to be hit and miss. Quite often you find ICE only cars taking the space or the charging points just out of service/neglected.

I do look forward to the day when electric charging networks are available everywhere with rapid charging.

We’re in a transition phase, so hybrids are a practical solution for a lot of people. A “token” battery is useful to a lot of people. Especially those living in the city. Electric charge points aren’t abundant just yet.

I decided on an i8 over the Tesla model S. The driving experience and the interior quality of the i8 was, IMO, superior. It was a close call mind you. I even put down a 4K deposit on the Tesla.

I felt the i8 was an £80k car with £30k of tech, whereas the Tesla was a £30k car with £80k tech.

As an unexpected bonus, my pregnant wife found it easier to get in and out the i8 compared to standard cars entries :)

Perhaps it was related to cost of landline calls back then?

Ahhh, but not with anti-sweat technology :)

Yes, and there are also projects like chia [0] that aim to be a green digital currency.

A stalk delivered me a child and in one single transformation, I turned from night owl into Super Lark!!

Out of curiosity. Did it stay that way or did you manage to migrate to another solution? If so, what did that look like? Interested because I’m in a similar situation.
