We definitely saw more crypto transaction flows going in to these regions following the current situation. But one challenge to greater adoption is the off-ramping from crypto back to fiat currencies which is largely done online by centralized exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance.

Best case is if you keep all transactions in crypto, which can then be entirely managed P2P. Compromise case is P2P trading for fiat money, which may impact your rates but is better than nothing. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of the centralized exchanges that are in turn limited by compliance and regulatory considerations.

Unless the entire world suddenly decides to adopt crypto (unlikely), the fiat component will be a major challenge for greater usage.

TIL Korn is still performing.

Hope the show was good!

Hi HN

So at Quidli we work on enabling orgs to internally share crypto with their members as incentives using existing workflows like via web browser and Slack - online teams and communities can use crypto as digital rewards with real value to encourage participation and engagement in their objectives, missions.

We've seen solid adoption on the Slack app and so we've now pushed to prod this v1 of a Discord app. It's not yet open-source or fully on-chain, but we make it free and it offers a friendlier onboarding experience to crypto for newbies.

Super happy to answer any questions or take feedback/comments on this from the community here. Thanks!

Looks to me like this ^ pretty much says it all

it is shockingly not very pro crypto, huh?

In the spirit of procrastination, redid our landing page as ugly https://ugliest.app/l/7658c63c-e4d5-43e3-89d6-42e095ed5b25/Q...

You forgot to add a maniacal cackle

Potentially great news for adoption

Potentially good news for HODLers

Potentially bad news for decentralization

Wow, shooters gonna shoot.

Not sure these guys are the brightest shooters in the game though...

If this was Reddit I'd give the previous comment gold

All of this has to be balanced, and it’s not a simple equation. There are a lot of moving parts here.

The challenges in legal tech are rarely technical; it's largely in the hands of the practioners themselves to want to change and to adopt new technologies. Evenb low-hanging fruit tools like e-mail and word processors took time to catch on; while seemingly no-brainers like e-signatures are still looked upon warily. So where does that leave even more robust solutions?

And this isn't even taking into consideration clients, who have the bargaining power to also drive some of the change but are often afraid to do so because everyone likes "having a lawyer" once they're significantly large enough to be able to afford the services of one.

Like are you going to create another entity in order to do this? Or are you planning to act more in a sales/contractor/referral capacity?

Cool, thanks for the insight! I'm now considering attempting this as I've started worrying about memory and how to keep it active and healthy (in my mid 30s but people seem to make a big deal about it).

What was the criteria for the poems you decided to memorize? How did you pick - just based on stuff you already knew of, or did you actively pursue works new to you?

It only took two for me to learn my lesson haha

Fascinating.

I once built a cloud-printing app (free printing in exchange for banner ads printed on the pages) and for an initial launch, we installed printers loaded w/ paper across a university campus. A Japanese friend recommended and even sent us paper from Japan (can't remember the brand anymore) to use because he claimed it was some of the thinnest industrial-grade available and this would help us maximize the paper capacity for each printer.

Given the media industry's history, I'm sure if anyone relevant does see your post, that white space is simply going to be used as display ad real estate.

Appreciate it!

Ha, that made me chuckle.

Hope you're up on like the 3rd floor or something!

Your comment in turn piqued my interest - very much enjoyed seeing Simeville and now having a great list of browsing material.

Virtuous circle!

WSJ is like the textbook example of a newspaper where I'd love to pay per article I read. There's no reason I want to subscribe, I probably read like one article from there every 2-3 months, which is certainly not worth an annual subscription.

From what I understand, I can see how the operations for this kind of business model aren't ideal and so difficult to imagine scaling. But even PG has been pretty vocal about how limiting media subcription based models are...

Sorry, end of rant.

if this is true, then it's terrible and it's instances like this that make crypto look like an absolute shitshow...

That's wild. Looks like just a bunch of plane icons on a map at first glance.

As a former decent runner, I used to love looking at old Olympic Marathon results and imagining how I could have won the first few races given the lack of institutional knowledge on how to train back then. A lot of these early races seemed to be just guys who showed up on whims to compete and have fun.

Many of already waded in so not sure I can add anything different. However, here I go ;)

I guess for me the main question is, what do you mean by 'fluency?' Do you want to speak/be thought of as someone from an English speaking country? Or is it more a personal feeling that you want to be better?

For someone with an already high-level of English speaking and writing, I think the remaining barrier is more cultural than language. Like can you decipher common codes as someone who lives in the culture of that English-speaking country. And from my experience, a lot of that is broken up into two categories - 1. childhood identifications, things like education system, curriculum; regional, national milestone events, etc.; and 2. pop culture today, things like TV shows, current events, views on social, economics, politics, etc.

I think it's easier for the US case just because how pervasive American soft power is. But in any case, my feeling just from your post is that it's perhaps really more culture rather than language that you want to focus on.

Don't know about anything else, but it simply looks better to me - staring at a darker screen feels easier on my eyes than a highly white, lumnious one.

And if anything, that leads me to look at my devices even more!

Has TraffickCam ever made a match on Sex Trafficking?

Great question. As it appears now, it seems like a case of building a product without any validation of results.

but it was all fake.

You mean like scenes shot with actors to imply certain events happening? ex. scenes protests in some city when it's actually just a bunch of actors making it look like a protest is happening?

Maytag blue cheese? Is that for real? How does one get some of this?

Something about "planning to be legitimately profitable by end of 2020" makes me chuckle. Like most founders probably plan this for their businesses haha
