I believe I saw Andrew (founder, operator of MicroAcquire) tweet out that some deals are for partial equity of a company. It's really just a listing page and from there the buyer/sellers are free to do what they want. If you had apps that you want to offload, just list and see what type of buyers approach you. Since there are no listing fees it's no risk (other than your time).

The issue I had with Flippa when I listed a business there is that there are a TON of tire kickers. Flippa has a lot of users, but I'd say many aren't serious buyers. Flippa will prepopulate "inquiries" to sellers with some standard questions (ex. "How much time are you spending on the business each week?" etc). I learned to just ignore any message that contained only those prepopulated messages after a while. At first I spent time crafting responses to them only to be ghosted after that. If a potential buyer can't take the time to write their own opening message, they aren't serious.
Hi, we’re Seth and Andrew (Aalk4308), co-founders of Constructor (https://constructor.dev), based in NYC. We’re building a tracking tool as lightweight as Trello for all the small dev teams out there with basic needs, and we’d love your feedback. You can try it out by clicking “Try the demo” on our website. You’ll get your own private, mutable workspace prepopulated with dummy data (no email or signup required).

We started building Constructor about a year ago after talking to lots of CTOs/VPEs and product leaders about their frustrations with this space and frequently hearing “Trello’s a great tool to start with, but we know in six months we’ll want something more tailored to software dev”. Some of them had in fact used Trello all the way to exit with teams of 30+, but they’re the minority.

Trello’s great in a bunch of ways: it’s quick to set up, there’s not much to figure out, and the whole team can use it, not just the developers. It also strongly biases teams away from process complexity. But since it isn’t purpose-built for software developers, it lacks a first-class GitHub integration, backlog management is painful, and discussions are onerous. This all adds up to wasted time. But for many teams this is still preferable to heavier-weight alternatives.

So we built Constructor for small dev teams with basic needs who just need to get up and running with a tool that stays out of their way – but also understands how software is built. We aim to retain what’s great about Trello while redesigning it from the ground up for software dev teams.

We’ve been in private beta since January with teams ranging from two to more than 10 people. There’s clearly a lot left for us to improve here, but we wanted to share what we’ve built and get feedback from a broader audience.

We realize there are lots of tools in this space besides Jira and Trello, including several new ones in the last year or two, and we don’t expect ours to be right for every team. But we think it will help small teams keep their process light as it evolves, and save them time and frustration.

Thanks!

P.S. There’s a dark mode not yet exposed in the settings; if you want to see it just change the body tag class from c9r-light-mode to c9r-dark-mode and optionally add the class c9r-dark-high-contrast.
> And though it's doubtful most people would be homeless - most people have friends and family, after all

The landlord in this story doesn't have anyone who's willing to home her. What makes you think her tenants are in a different position than she is?

Are rent moratoriums a good idea? I don't know, they certainly are a dangerous area for the government to get into, but we do as a society have a compelling interest in preventing mass evictions during a pandemic, and eminent domain and forced sales are something we regularly use when we have compelling interests in people's property. People can reasonably debate whether or not that compelling interest outweighs other private property concerns that we have; to me, moratoriums are a large step beyond traditional eminent domain laws and eviction regulations, so I get why they make people nervous.

But what I do know is that papering over the problem and casting doubt on whether or not families really would be homeless isn't helpful, it's dismissive. Particularly on an article where someone is actually homeless living out of a van. Obviously the existing social and community support structures for homeless families aren't sufficient, or else the landlord in this story wouldn't be living in a van.
The monetary system has turned modern capitalism into some kind of social lottery system which has nothing to do with value creation and everything to do with social scheming (playing politics) and dumb luck.
It's all about gaining preferential access to a limited number of opportunities and then locking opponents out - The monetary system actively helps capital holders to build moats around their businesses by ensuring that they and their business partners get preferential and disproportionate access to newly printed credit - This creates asymmetric playing fields which are anti-competitive by design.

Cantillon effects mean that the further an entity is from the source of new money, the more scarce money is going to be for them.
The lack of consistency when it comes to our perceptions about something as fundamental as the scarcity of money is the root of many of our modern problems.

People who have access to easy money tend to spend money more easily and in larger amounts and they also tend to produce less. On the other hand, people who don't have access to easy money have to work much harder and produce much more value to get enough money to get by in a world where all the prices are determined by those who earn the easy money.
At this point it isn't even a big deal. Apple has and can see all your nudes in your non-e2e iCloud Backup (including all of the ones sent to you by others, even via SMS), all of your chats, your address book, your phone number (your iPhone uploads it to Apple when you insert it, even if you don't use iCloud), and device serial number (sent to iTunes when you open the App Store). They have your 24/7 location if you have location services enabled.

Providing your name and address is basically no big deal at this point.

One ID, strongly linked to government identifiers, strongly linked to every activity you take on your most important computer, one you can't install apps on without permission.

Neither of those are true for Europe.

I would argue that it is fair to say that the US is more homogeneous than Europe, especially if you are talking about the entire Europe, and not just the EU.

This is a blog post from last year. Is there any news on this?
The thing is that, once you assume a standalone single family house, the savings associated with going "tiny" vs., say, 1000 to 1500 sq. ft. modest just aren't that much and the compromises are significant. In general, there are certain must haves. A bathroom, some measure of kitchen, a place to park a car (and, yes, in most places where we're talking standalone houses 1-2 cars need to go somewhere), a bed, at least a desk, etc.

I wasn't saying that's what's happening here, the OP just asked how banks "could possibly" charge negative interest on savings. In a world where a bank couldn't use the money you deposited, they would have to charge you in some way. Negative interest rates could be one way to do it. Simple answer to a simple question.
Depends on what you mean by "hacked".
One use case for this is places like Pennsylvania where you typically need to produce a government-issued ID to purchase alcohol.

In 100%-proof-of-ID stores, cashiers often don't look at the photo on the ID, they scan the bar code on the back of the Driver's License that's presented.

Why not use the Digital ID in an Apple Wallet in those situations?
Ran into this last week with a throwaway. Bummer.
that's the thing, banks don't make enough money with loans if the interest rate is that low for such a long time. It's nothing very very wrong if banks do that it's just an effect of keeping interest rates low.

I don't fully understand your dutch over the internet bank stablecoin comparison, but if you mean that people could flee into different currencies than this is not new at all, some years ago this happened already with the swiss franc. It's also not hidden because there're well enough economists talking about the implications, it's not as complex as you think and yes people with money in the bank are going to be expropriated but this happens anyway if you print more money.
To put the title figure into some perspective, it suggests an average of 281,250 per month in excess the normal.

India in 2019 had something like 1,141,666 deaths / month on average. So a 24% increase on that assuming the numbers on my quick search line up. It would be interesting to know the fluctuations over a decade for better bird's eye.

This is why walled gardens are bad. If you want to play in Google's sandbox, you've got to play by their rules. Of course, "fragmenteddeveloper" didn't learn this lesson, because instead of posting on their own website they're posting on Medium, yet another walled garden.
Most people don't own a savings account because it is profitable. They do it because it us a valuable service. It provides an easy way to store your money that is secured by 'this collapsing is an exustensial threat to the government'. It also provides access to the financial system.

I would be willing to pay a lot of money for such a service. Of course, given that I already need it, I might as well choose a cheap option. If that cheap option happens to have a negative cost, I'm not going to complain.
> Currently to get crypto on Coinbase or wherever, one needs to go through a crazy signup process where you deliver photos of documents that enables anyone who gets ahold of these photos to identify as you and use these to sign up as you on other places.

Really? I'd like to see a civil suit where an institution says I owe them money and shows a picture of my ID as proof of contract.

There are ways of signing legally binding things online (DocuSign for example, which AFAIK was actually tested in a trial in EU), but they have more sophistication than that.
"Also, with 75K, sounds like you would have ample amount to invest."

Depends on location and if you have a family. $75k for a single person in an average area will provide a fair amount to invest. $75k for a family of four in most suburbs is going to be tight. In either case, the value available to invest is substantially less that high net worth individuals and will limit many investment opportunities (private equity, accredited investor status, and likely not making enough to take advantage of mega backdoor Roth).
It really is hard to say whether it is better or worse for the "middle class guy." Sure, it makes debt more accessible and also makes debt faster to wipe out due to inflation, but low interest rates typically increase asset prices (everything else being equal, which it usually isn't) and assets are primarily owned by the wealthy.
I guess this doesn't bode well for that pupil-dilation test for psychopathy, huh?
I use Windows at work since all of our servers are Windows - at home since I play games, use Adobe software and don't like to tinker with my PC when I'm trying to relax. Windows just works.

Don't like Mac hardware for various reasons, again I want something reliable.
> You’d still have your physical ID.

For now. In the future I could see a cost saving measure to be all digital.

> It would be reasonable for there to be statute that prohibits Apple from revoking your digital ID

There are a lot of reasonable statutes that should exist.
They claim an upcoming project is to upgrade to .NET 5 (though at this rate I would more expect 6).
>Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.

That was my first concern.

I don't want to hand an unlocked phone over to someone just to show ID. I'm not surprised, but still glad they covered this use case.
I know it's less secure but it makes contactless payment with the phone much easier. Also masks!

Are they loaning it out at non trivial rates? Outside things like credit card debt I have understood that part of the problem is that rates are or are becoming trivial.
My Youtube account is 15 years old. I wonder if I'll still have to verify my age in 3 years time.

I think his point is that apple can revoke access to your digital license.
> I have no idea what businesses with huge cash reserves do as you can quickly run out of banks.

To take an extreme example, imagine running Apple’s reserves. It’s probably close in scale to the finances of a fairly large country (and considerably more profitable).
It's not necessarily being genuinely exchanged. If you're willing to eat a few transaction fees, you can buy a NFT from yourself repeatedly at escalating amounts and make it look like it's super popular.
Some of the authors concerns with Pihole can probably be fixed by replacing it with Adguard home because of the HTTPS support. That being said, it’s kind of cool to see someone higher on the corporate ladder posting these kind of blog posts!
Not sure how high interest rates mean better return from investment. I mean look at the chart from last two decades or so. If by investment you you mean giving money to the bank so the bank can loan it to other people then obviously the investment will be paid by people who need loans which is, you know, not exactly good for lower/middle class.

I for one think near zero interest rates are optimal. As o long as we can ensure there isn't too much irresponsible lending. Liquidity is very important and ensuring people who can make use of the money have easy access to it is very important.
> Low interest rates actually give middle class guy more opportunity because it becomes cheaper to borrow. You can use leverage to increase your position. The most common form of this is a mortgage, but there are many other ways to utilize debt properly as well.

It is the same for everyone else, hence assets get more expensive. It washes out, unless you make riskier and riskier bets to stay ahead of the curve. Some will win, but most will lose.
Maybe at small scales like embedded, but Go's GC has proven problematic even with static memory allocation. Some company (Discord?) ran into issues where the large heaps were scanned every 2 minutes because Go refuses to go longer than that w/o a GC check even if it has no reason to believe it needs to.
I am getting so burnt out on the condescending 'old guard'. I have no time for graybeard curmudgeons.

OP linked two websites as bad examples... and they both totally work, so what?

"You can even run into serious security flaws" prove it, hack it.

"you get compatibility issues" worked for me

"Web was to be a set of protocols and formats used for the purpose of publishing documents" i only use my computer to crack nazi codes.
This is a misunderstanding.

What I mean is this: If online companies require a copy of some document as identification, then this document you just copied and sent out to them can be used to identify as you when signing up with other companies.

The old brick and mortar way was better: When you walk into a bank to sign up for an account, the bank now cannot walk into another bank as you.

A new crypto way would be better as well: Instead of copying data for identification, sign a message cryptographically.
The wealthy may not keep their money in savings accounts (they dont) but I think the GP's argument still stands -- because most other products pay a spread above the base rate. If savings rates are low, so are all riskier rates above. As an example, Triple A corporates generally pay a mostly-consistent spread above the risk free rate. Triple B pay a mostly-consistent spread above that. And so on.

If it's unequivocally true, how about a source that shows scope does not impact it?

I'm simply stating that money does not have fewer uses as one gets more of it. Usually the person's scope changes to include new uses that were not previously possible. The important thing to note is that utility is being used in mixed definition here. Strictly speaking it's definition is happiness or satisfaction. The part about having less use doesn't necessarily match this.
Would Social Security be in any danger of insolvency if taxable income (for payroll tax purposes) wasn't capped at just over 100K/year? What if you had to pay Social Security tax on capital gains?
No, I have never purchased a license. If a paid for license was required for my personal laptops (which I use professionally) then I would probably just use virtualenv.
It’s not completely awful, but quite a long way from mounting a natively supported share, made worse by the already convoluted setup process that has been made worse by the project going proprietary.
Note, this is EU AVMSD regulation we're talking about. Even companies who you think wouldn't need to comply with it do require this (notably Microsoft, because of Xbox, Microsoft Family and related stuff). At least EU just requires a credit card, in Korea you basically need your digital equivalent of an ID ("For customers in South Korea, use I-PIN [ed note: https://www.oecd.org/sti/ieconomy/38540152.pdf] to provide parental consent or verify your age.", https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/parental...).

Implications of Third-Party Payment Processing for IAP on iOS and Android
Python is an odd duck in terms of dependencies because it gets very integrated into the system; think of it almost like "portable scripted C." There's the pure python packages, which because of how python's search and import process works, means you need a separate library root for each set of incompatible dependencies, and these must be orthogonal.

Then, you have compiled extensions, which have the above issues, plus now you gotta get some binary distribution machinery involved.

Then, you have FFI/so/dll/dylib type extensions, which have the above complexities, plus the linker/LD_LIBRARY_PATH involved.

Then, you have the interaction of site-packages, since python is used by my OSes for scripting.

I also give these statements (the first sentence) flak because the logical conclusion would be that to get out of a depression one should start a war or perhaps just pay everyone to dig ditches. The reality of war is quite the opposite: it is a huge expenditure that makes the parties net poorer. The victor only gets richer if they get to steal more wealth from the looser than the war cost them, which was not the case of WW2.
Do these numbers actually make any sense? I feel like I'm missing something here, 800k of 1.4m refuse the vaccine, but 68% of the 1.4 are already fully vaccinated? Is there a primary source out there for this?

This currently may only be for a TSA usecase but this area of using a phone to show ID starts to get very murky very quickly

My insurance company has an app that will display my proof of insurance - just hand your phone to the police officer at the stop.

The trouble is you are legally surrendering the possession of your unlocked phone to a police officer who can then search through it. I asked a lawyer friend about this and he said the law doesn't allow you to granularly declare the terms under which you surrender your property (ie you can't say "don't look at anything else officer, just keep that app window open").

It's the same with finger prints as biometric - no one considered that you can plead the 5th when asked for a pin code but you can't decline to have your fingerprints taken (including on your own phone sensor). I'm assuming face recognition is same.

Back to this Apple Wallet announcement, TSA scanning is a very restrictive usecase that feels like just a wedge otherwise it's pretty low value.

But then why would anyone want to hand over their phone to the police (or another government agency) so they can take the phone with the ID on it back to their cruiser to write up your ticket. Of course they are going to have a quick search through your phone. That's not paranoia, that's good police work on their part.

Adding your government ID to Apple Wallet just seems like something that sounds technically cool but not properly thought out OR will only have very limited usecases.
Thanks everyone for validation. I just told them that there are 2 options:

1. Change the response times by a lot and find a price for that.

2. Not continue the conversation since the product does not meet their requirements

I am confident this is the right decision
Wouldn't blinking with your third eyelids give it away though?
> Presenting a driver’s license or state ID to TSA: Once added to Wallet, customers can present their driver’s license or state ID to the TSA by simply tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch at the identity reader. Upon tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch, customers will see a prompt on their device displaying the specific information being requested by the TSA. Only after authorizing with Face ID or Touch ID is the requested identity information released from their device, which ensures that just the required information is shared and only the person who added the driver’s license or state ID to the device can present it. Users do not need to unlock, show, or hand over their device to present their ID.

Please read the article. It's presented there, and not even hidden away.
Apple secures first states to support digital driver’s licenses
This to me is a nice distraction from the fact that since 2008 most western governments have bought an insane amount of bonds from banks, including their own government bonds, with printed money, creating artificial demand for the very products that set the lowest risk interest rates.

The japanese government even bought stocks with printed money.

This has pushed interest rates down at a massive scale. There is nothing like a normal market on interest rates on money. It's all controlled by governments.

Of course this also had the other effect of pumping money into many people close to governments, typically bankers, who instead of going to prison from the 2008 crises, now got rich themselves but also pushed up stock prices to make other rich people richer (Tim cook would never have earned $750m from high apple stock prices without QE from government). This might have the secondary order effect of what the blog post is saying, but it's still caused by government printing money.
