Thanks for the feedback!

Our Virtual Accounts are the first step towards exactly that – we were thinking that virtual debit numbers tied to virtual accounts might make the most sense from a payment flow perspective. And that would allow you to do just what you described, provided the payment recipient takes debit vs ACH. Having virtual account/routing numbers would be a great extension of that capability too!

Gotcha. IMHO, cash provides a number of functions where f(x) = security, privacy, or physical partitioning. And those are valuable!

For functions where f(x) is something one would want to program or automate in the digital realm of money, that's where we hope to add value to the experience of managing your finances.

Curious, what's the reason? Security? Do you have all of your accounts at one bank?

Hi Hackernews, Gil here, co-founder at Astra. Would love to hear what you think about this new technical architecture for your bank accounts! With Virtual Sub Accounts, you can partition your cash or give your dollars purpose – and you can transfer funds to and from those virtual accounts with programmable routines.

Thanks for sharing my article here!

Over and over in conversations with other startup founders and VCs, we kept hearing the analogy of AWS for Fintech. I think it's a really interesting thought experiment, but I haven't seen a breakdown from a technology perspective. What's in place, and what's missing? So I did a write up using Cloud Computing as the framework.

Would love your input!

Thanks for posting my article! Happy to answer any questions you all might have on our take for fintech and what's next.

Thanks for the feedback. What would you expect to see? We are probably doing it but could do better at sharing that info.

Amazing, gritty portrait of NYC in the 80s.

I agree that their API is great, but there's so much more to building a business - most of all perseverance. Many people can make a good or great API but very few can execute on the rest.

You can set reminders for emails to come back to your inbox both at send and separately when reviewing email. It also has read receipts. And the hotkeys and shortcuts are super powerful. Worth the $ if you have to spend a lot of time in email for the efficiency increase alone.

Really cool project! Loaded up Gauntlet and was able to start the game but saw a lot of artifacts after my warrior moved across the screen. Did the ROM have some dust on it like my old Gauntlet cartridge? Hehe.

It's awesome that the curriculum is newly created for this term AND that the old curriculum is logged in the library page.

Awesome! Submitting our info.

Hi Adora, we audited the course last year and thought it was great. How similar will the content itself be?

Roger that. Thanks for the info!

Pros/Cons in comparison to similar websites like hunter.io?

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick - plus, after you can re-watch Blade Runner with a new perspective.

Fair point. Can you share some more detailed examples?

Disclaimer: I posted this article originally because of the humor component, but I also think it's a legitimate conversation to have.

So good. 2 pies = 2 Taus though. Ha!

Sure, more important things to do. But isn't a minimal change to a plethora of formulas that simplifies things worth consideration? How far are you along the circumference of a circle? Or what's this angle in radians? Isn't Taur vs 2Pi*r easier both conceptually and computationally?

Actually, that'd be one Pi but half Tau! Ha!!

Tau > Pi?

But what will we eat on Tau day? Tau-cos have my vote. A tortilla is still a circle we can describe mathematically with tau.

Um... "nasty smells"? How big of a problem is that really? I'd have a hard time placing my laptop in a bag of kitty litter. Don't doubt that it works though.

Oh yeah - totally. If they followed the Netflix model of generating great content, they could make a killing (and justify their market cap). Original podcasts would be cool, but even better would be backing artists, especially long tail or emerging bands. Spotify Records?

Spotify does have podcasts, including tech ones like a16z and Recode Decode. They even added speed adjustment if you like to listen on hyperspeed like me. https://open.spotify.com/genre/podcasts-page

Agreed. If the choice is between fewer hyperlinks with a higher bar of entry with jargon and a ton of hyperlinks that let a reader dig deeper where necessary, I'd choose the latter 100/100 times.

Good point - but I think that the difference is valuable. If that is the average person's first touch point with the content, then it would do a better job of making it accessible than a technical paper. Agreed that a follow-up detailed post or paper would be awesome!

This article (like pretty much all from OpenAI) is really well done. I love the format and supporting material - makes it waay more digestible and fun to read in comparison to something from arxiv. The video breakdowns really drive the results home.

If you are going down the unequal route, I recommend an approach like this. We used a spreadsheet with weighted buckets. This forced us to define the weights as well as our respective contributions and overall made the process transparent.

Sweet! You should post this on Product Hunt.
