P.S. Beautiful project for a problem that definitely needs solving.
As long as 1% of miners include TC transactions, even if 99% choose to not include, TC transactions will still be part of the blockchain, albeit not as timely.
When miners start actively REFUSING to build on blocks that feature TC problems, that is an issue.
For what it's worth, the ethereum development community is actively exploring features that make active censorship a network violation (with censored blocks not being accepted by the network), although this is an area of active research.
Current proposals include PBS+crList.
So considerably less monetary incentive to 'make it big'. For entrepreneurs who want to do that, why not move to the USA and come back to Australia when you want to settle down and have a family?
How many corrupt files, strange bugs, or quirks can be attributed?
There is absolutely no need for a separate SoC for the lock screen, when the Apple SoC already features high-efficiency cores.
[1]: 73% according to StatCounter.
Don't forget the AI moderation-on-post. Just recently, a popular 'influencer' posted a scam. I left a comment saying such, along with a comment that the influencer should be ashamed of himself, and immediately, an AI filter told me that my comment may go against the Community Standards, and that repeated attempts to comment would lead to account deactivation. There is no appeal button.
To those building these technologies, beyond false positives and coverage error, it takes one law or PR incident for you to re-train this model against dissent. And to those building technologies like Apple's CSAM scanning, it takes one DB replacement to make it flag photos of the Hong Kong protests or Tank Man.
1. Forward a message to someone else. Sometimes you're not the best person to answer, but a colleague is. Forwarding should be easy and feature minimal friction.
2. Auto-deleting of messages in a DM after X _messages_ (e.g. only the last 100 messages are retained as scrollback). It forces you to document knowledge in more suitable forms; than having it lost in DM silos. Furthermore, it keeps conversations with your regular contacts more candid and natural; but retains the information and context for infrequent contacts.
3. No typing status (thanks Cardinal!)
Yes, it means you won't get all the shiny quality of life services offered by cloud providers, but you're in a _margin sensitive business_. Deal with it. Optimize every cost.
Also, you don't need expensive engineers re-inventing the most basic things (I know Uber had a huge not-invented-here syndrome). Use the boring tools for the job. Only reinvent what is necessary. You don't need engineers practicing resume-driven-development.
~25% take rate on a ride ($15 average): $3.75 take
Payment processing: 2.5% + 30c = $0.68
Servers / datacenters: $0.20 (for a margin-sensitive business, you should be colo'ing your own servers, or using cheap alternatives like OVH/Hertzner)
Customer support: Automate as much as possible (auto refunds up to a certain point; for lost items, connect directly to driver); assume 1 in 50 rides require manual human support with a $3 cost = $0.06 support cost per ride
Fraud/refunds: Assume a 2% fraud rate that cannot be reclaimed; thus $0.30 cost for fraud. Refunds for things like driver purposefully took a longer route can be clawed from the driver.
Gross COGS: $1.24
Gross profit: $2.51
What am I missing?? Marketing? Fuck marketing when you can't turn a profit. Everyone knows about Uber or Lyft already, you need to turn a profit, not waste $30 per CAC.
Taxes are often used to discourage behaviour society believes to have negative externalities. For example: tobacco excise taxes; and also in the other direction (e.g. concessions for long term capital gains; which is supposed to encourage 'investment').
Some people want to own their own home and live in it (owner occupiers); these people however compete with investors who are seeking to rent it out. While investors don't directly affect the rentals market (as you'd expect an owner-occupier to not be a renter), they do push the price of housing, because housing becomes more of an investment (competing against everything else with zero / negative interest rates).
Progressive taxes on investors can mitigate this and make home ownership more affordable. First property, no tax. Second property, 1% of its land value charged annually. Third property: 2% of its land value, etc...
