Otherwise, https://dokku.com has been really stable to launch your own heroku on cloud services like Digital Ocean or AWS
Gives the same experience as Heroku but with more flexibility
But I’m unsure how impactful revenue wise for an author can make or how sustainable is it long term.
Most of the books I see on Unlimited are either older books (there are some good gems), books that are already freely found on the internet or books that are scrappily put together.
To start with, it does not feel right to have to raise money or give away equity in order to build the first MVP to look for product market fit.
Founding team should have all the skillsets required to launch the first version of the product (Tech + Marketing minimum). Tech founder who is able to code the product and has the know how to keep it running for as cheap as possible, and another founder who knows how to bring the product to market.
Iterate from there, and if lucky eventually slowly have a sustainable business. Along the journey, not having VC money trains the founders to make difficult choices and learn things the hard way. Ie. Founding team will do as much as they can before hiring someone else, optimize cost of operations rather than throwing money easily at problems, etc.
Founders who are in it for the long game and want to build a sustainable business, will find not raising money most attractive.
Since they are both of the NoSQL family.
It's not FOSS, but seem to be a viable alternative to give a go. So far it does the job, though the images load a little bit slower than recaptcha
A new language called Vyper as an alternative to Solidity has launched that said to solve some of Solidity's shortcoming

But it's so new that there aren't that many resources and community around it yet
In a high traffic situation, ETA gets adjusted from time to time. And buses will struggle to get in/out of stops and delays loom when accident occurs on the road.
Poor road planning and building alongside with massive amount of cars on the road is one of the major issue.
Maybe workplace hours should be adjusted as a whole or varying tolls based on high demand hours to avoid everyone competing for road space.
But I generally agree with the article that buses gets you really far. For a long time Singapore was relying on bus routes to move people around the city state, and progressively build subway lines as the demand and city planning go with it.
Real time Chat feature (Campfire) is built in which is great and intuitive.
However most of our team members are somehow still used to Slack chat interface.
Anyone knows of a good alternative that works there?
DAI is the USD stablecoin, overcollateralized by ETH and a variety of other ERC-20 tokens. And managed in a decentralized manner by MakerDAO token holders. A good experiment to watch imo
PS: We also provide free public API for many different data points at https://www.coingecko.com/api
The hardware buttons act like the ultimate OK/Cancel button. You can review the transaction address, id, etc on the hardware screen to confirm that you are not getting phished and such. (vs. on the software)
If you have a hardware wallet. You will pass the intent message (sending money, swap, etc) to Trezor. Trezor holds your private key. Signs the message with your private key. Hands the payload back to the client to be broadcasted to the network. This way your private key stays in the hardware wallet, and protected from a compromised computer.
If you use metamask instead. The private key here resides in the browser or your computer rather. I am unsure exactly where the signing happens but it will have to happen within the domain of your computer (at metamask or js) because that is where the key is. Gets back payload to be broadcasted.
Copy pasting private key (totally not recommended) is for cases where say you dont have a metamask or a hardware wallet. The signing is done probably using the js library included by the widget to obtain payload for broadcast.
Nothing should be passed on to a server. Only the signed message needs broadcasting into the ethereum network for the transaction to be included into a block.
As for Trezor case the private key does not leave the device. I would imagine that the integration would be like most cases where the data gets sent to the hardware wallet to be sent. Signed in the wallet and it spits out the payload to be broadcasted.
As such by using hardware wallets, you shouldn't be exposing private keys outside of ththe device at all.
There is going to be barrier to entry, but this gives the option for end users the option to safeguard their own private keys to swap tokens. Which in some occasion or cases more desirable than depositing into an exchange.
Most folks in the city speaks English in the city, so you wont have issues getting around.
There is a growing tech community here as well with a some notable startups/companies.
Cost of living wise, magnitude lower than neighboring Singapore, as such a good consideration
Been using that to host small projects here and there of late. Works well for keeping the app 12factor, and worry less about Devops
Works like an archiver for web pages, saves everything! Yes includes bookmarking
Built by a friend!
And they will all update the contract state onto their own blockchain then broadcast the result and compete via proof of work.
However in this market; market is irrational and it all depends on how the market is willing to price it pre/post fork. No, you won't wind up with the same dollar amount.
