It's wild how people write without version control... Maybe I'm missing something.

It's a phone number. It's probably been bought / sold a few times already. Unless you're on the level of Edward Snowden, I wouldn't worry about it. But maybe your sense of privacy is more valuable than the outcome you'd get from Claude. That's fine too.

Thanks for reminding me of why I shy away from Swift and dove into the arms of Kotlin Multiplatform.

Pretty sweet site, thx for sharing. Hope y'all will start bringing token count up at some point. Will be testing this newer version too.

I hope you don't delete it! I enjoyed reading it. It pleased my confirmation bias, anyways. Your comment might help someone notice patterns that they've been glancing over.... I liked it up until the T&S part. My eyes glazed over the rest since I didn't know what T&S means. But that's just me.

cool personal site. nice & to the point. Yea, I thought you would have gotten used to seeing elements of yourself on the web, but I guess there's levels to notoriety.

Can you please explain why it would be preferable to have large companies paying x cents per notification to Apple, and not to users?

I don't understand the credit part? Wouldn't some kind of "set your rate" option for the user, allow more individual flexibility? As opposed to a flat fee per notif, sent to Apple?

The product isn't necessarily true (mobile -> landline push), but the profit-seeking is certainly expected, as it is for all businesses. While the amount of minutes & attentions that are generated from spam calls helps the telcos, because they get paid either way... that doesn't mean they're negligent. They just don't have the right tools to police this since they're common carriers. Things are changing little by little and with upcoming changes in telco infrastructure, I expect Q4 this year to show a strong signal of what the future holds.

Neat. Sounds like I gotta explore what's available there now. The parent comment's issue sounds like a pretty good feature to add to an app... thx.

Learning this term was required to move on to the next belts in my Taekwondo classes, thought it was a South Korean thing, but I guess not. I've only ever heared of Filial Piety a few times out of that environment.

Wow, ok. I've been hit with this issues twice and both times, the Twilio reps failed to let me know about this. I had previously resorted to just turning off any counties. Looks like mu international app users might get functionality back.... if this feature is still live.

You could get a full time assistant for less than $12k/year.[1] Not sure if they work with individuals, but I've used them for my startup.

I'm sure you'd be able to use this.

Not sure if it's dishonesty rather than just wise resource planning?

You're describing one of the solutions made by Ironport, "Bonded Sender". Their solutions were sold to Return Path and Cisco later bought them out, presumably with the bonded sended solution still belonging to Return Path? [1,2]

I've never seen discussion of this in the mainstream though... so I'm not sure if it's actually being used or just shelved.

At this point, I think any proprietary they've created is game for usage. But it's very hard to get multiple large organizations to adopt this.

I definitely think it's a solution.

I see you still have working feet for the trackpoint keyboard... I've broken the foot on 3 of those.... any secrets you've got to preventing that?

New comment by AdrianEGraphene in "TIFU by using Stripe as a payment processor for my small business"

AdrianEGraphene — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 11:54:17 +0000

AFAIK, there are no permissionless payment rail that do fiat-> crypto payment processing. They all require intermediaries and presumably would run into similar issues.

Crypto-> crypto would be a different story, but requires a more sophisticated buyer.

I play in this space, so would definitely like to hear what you've got in mind.

KarmaCall was built on nano and so was FynCom. Building apps without tokens removes the speculation [ and the volume of activity associated with it :( ] and lets you focus on your core business models.

At a recent online event, I was asked to talk "what is the riskiest thing about building on crypto". The answer I gave was "it can distract you from your core business model, from making your customers happy".

EDIT: I echo your sentiment though. I wrote something supporting your thoughts (I think?) a while ago. Do you think this is a similar sentiment? [1] [1] https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/using-crypto-tool-investment-...

New comment by AdrianEGraphene in "Solend seized $170M of user funds"

Colored coins is one of my #1 favorite topics! The same issue (high fees) that plagued ETH would soon arise if doing "Colored Coins" for NFTs on BTC. Regardless, this could certainly be done. Colored coins was actually one of the 1st concepts that seriously drew my interest to this space.

One might think Lightning Network would be a good solution, but LN is fungible, so that wouldn't work.

Still, colored coins is an awesome concept and I'm planning to help with at least 1 use-case (fingers crossed!) in the next few months.
