This looks really good, will pitch this to my company

Unfortunately DAI is also now collateralised by USDC, I read somewhere is up to 30% (haven't been able to verify) but I'm not sure what effect it'll have on DAI if USDC collapses. More here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/comments/nwydtj/what_is_th...

Well said!

They are transacted digtially with the force/power of lawyers. With NFTs, you can "theoretically" transact without the need for lawyers.

Best article on NFTs is this introductory article by Linda Xie https://linda.mirror.xyz/df649d61efb92c910464a4e74ae213c4cab...

TL;DR - NFTs help prove ownership without needing a central authority (which is a big deal) e.g. have you ever been misled and bought a fake concert ticket? It's also huge for the collectibles market which is plagued with high-levels of fraud (which is a billion dollar industry).

- NFTs can also make fractionalized ownership more accessible. So using your analogy, as an artist I release a song but I sell fractions of my song as NFTs to my audience and when I receive royalties it automatically gets distributed to all the nft song owners.

There will be meme NFTs of course (the cat that got sold for $600k), it is a speculative asset that people are experimenting with but I think eventually things will reset and the useful NFTs will remain. They can have real utility whether for a virtual or physical world.

Congrats on this project. Reminds me of when I first read both 'Algorithms to Live by' and 'What If', books applying maths/science to everyday topics. Adding to my reading list!

the only reason the dollar has any value at all is that it is issued within the context of a society full of people who have agreed to treat it as though it has value. Without that faith, every major currency on Earth would be as useful as small pieces of paper generally are

serious question, how is the democratic process different between the two? One i.e. democratic nations are a group of people on the same piece of land that. The other is a group of people on the internet.

BBC Good Food is usually my go to, they have categories like quick recipes (https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/quick-recipes) and you can search for by ingredients. Could definitely be improved but is decent.

This is my intepretation, but I didn't conclude that privacy marketing added $1.3trillion to Apples market cap, what I did take from that statement is that brand strategy IS very important though. I say this because Apples privacy marketing has definitely impacted me, I was already an Apple fanboy but I've become more resolute in not buying and persuading people to not buy non-apple hardware since their privacy marketing tear. So maybe it hasn't added trillions in value but it has indeed added something!

> privacy friendly ads

Out of curiosity, can you give examples of privacy friendly ads that indie devs can use?

This is exactly the sentiment of the article! Spot on statement.

Very fun game, played it just once and only managed to make it to gen 14!

If you ever need connections with people in FinTech in Africa (Nigeria specifically) I can intro you to people as I know a lot of people in the ecosystem. Also keen to learn more about what you're building.

I'm based in London and have an idea I'm working on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21354004 How can I reach you? keen to validate/invalidate this quickly.

I'm based in London, UK and currently working on idea for a fintech for gig workers. The idea is to be the aggregrator for gig workers and have a marketplace where we partner with the likes of credit unions for loans/savings products for example. I'm currently doing customer development and revamping the website based on the interviews so far.

Still doing this part-time as I have a day job as a Data Scientist at a UK Fintech Alt Lender. Although I have technical skills (I can code python), they aren't that great and I'm looking to partner with someone technical.

I see a big opporunity for this so very likely to go the VC route rather than the Indie route.

If anyone is interested please shoot me an email freddie@earnedit.co.uk.

For more info about me, check out this talk about one of my ML projects https://youtu.be/JyITLcJSM-Q and I also ran a personal finance blog (shutdown the website) https://medium.com/@TheDailyKobo twitter (https://twitter.com/TheDailyKobo)

I mean in order to build the product it matters that you can actually build it yourself in the beginning no?

> look at a list of the companies for the past few YC batches... there are some absolutely ridiculous ideas, most of these companies will fail miserably and would NEVER have been seeded during a recession

Out of curiosity, what is the problem with people trying "ridiculous' ideas? Airbnb and Uber were considered ridiculous at the time and look how that turned out. Sometimes ridiculous ideas can turn to fantastic companies that add economic value to the world. The opportunity cost of not chasing these ridiculous ideas is worse than otherwise if you ask me.

Been a UK user of the Emma app and it is indeed one of the best financial apps out there (as a personal finance nerd, trust me I've tried them all). However, i'm still not sold on Emma Pro and hope you can improve my perceived value of it by adding more features relevant to me soon.

This just seems to me like it'll cause unnecessary distraction at work, shouldn't we be focusing on trying to create a deep work friendly environment for employees instead?

+1 I just recently read this book and i was met with gem after gem. Also made me start looking at the world in terms of feedback loops, is it a balancing, goal-seeking or reinforcing feedback loop? How tight are these feedback loops? etc. Definitely a must read!
