Reminiscent of the old Centsports?

Haha exactly, actually talked to one of the cofounders before writing any code to figure out what happened to them. TLDR: when the DOJ cracked down on offshore sports books it cut off their revenue.

Id be curious to learn more, how essentially did the US DOJ cracked down on offshore website - since they are offshore?

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar…

Hi ! I am interested! Would be a great opportunity to learn something new while delivering real value to the world! My personal email is in my HN profile!

I believe it was this https://www.justice.gov/olc/file/1121531/download in congruence with Poker's Black Friday crackdowns[0] where they shutdown many high profile gambling .com domains (which have since moved to .ag and .eu TLDs)

I'm trying to reliably/systematically establish passive income so I can work on more ambitious ideas.

I'd like to meet a "validator" to complement my rapid product dev skills. (I'm surprised this kind of pairing structure doesn't come up more often—I see it kinda like 'generator'/'discriminator' pairs in GANs. Seems like the ideal duo-form to systematically discover excellent PMF.)

I have several projects in the works, that to my knowledge could each be seriously profitable—though my certainty around their potential profitability scales inversely with how profitable each may be.

E.g. the one I'm most certain will be profitable will of course not be any kind of unicorn—more something that could provide comfortable passive income, and it's basically ready for open beta: https://diskatlas.com/

I did a fair bit of market research with that one, but the others are a bit more 'intuitive'. I would love to find someone who I get along well with on a personal level who has some real chops/experience (or smarts/drive) in the realm of validating product ideas, collecting user feedback to make revisions to ideas or refine usability, doing market research, maybe generating/implementing marketing/advertising ideas, possibly taking care of other business-ey things(??).

Shoot me a message on twitter, or you can find my contact info on symbolflux.com. I'm a 36yr old male, worked in startups in SF and Cambridge, do independent contracts now living in the southwest (US).

Hi, I'm working on solutions to currency inflation and would love some help. Similar to a COLA (cost of living adjustment) on your salary, I think people should receive a COLA on their savings. Inflation destroys economies and lives all over the world, due mostly to uncontrolled currency printing by gov't. And, as obvious as it may sound, we don't have to sit back and just accept it anymore. We can build tools that p…

The CPI data is determined and published by the government. It has received plenty of criticism.

Also, blockchain is supposed to solve trust problems, government being one big one. Instead, you're going to trust their CPI data?

I want collaborate on publishable ML research. I'm currently working as a machine learning engineer, but doing a lot more engineering than learning. I'm also applying to PhD programs with focuses in knowledge graphs and common sense reasoning, but willing to learn any other field. If I don't get in then some independent research is still a good career move. I have ideas of my own (goal oriented question asking) but h…

I'd like to collaborate on this too. lmk if you have any cool ideas.

Whelp, I'm about to break the first rule of TAPBE. Imagine an Earth where all interactions / relationships are voluntary, with a societal structure that's resilient to everything from solar flares to the rise of oppressive governments. I dunno what that would really look like. But I'd like to explore gift economies, time banking, and brainstorm the strategies and games that could enable a more equitable Earth. As for…

I'm building a new task manager. I'm aiming it to be like HEY of email apps - Kinda opinionated, but hopefully fits workflow for a lot of people. https://focustask.app Building this in my free time, and would love to talk to anyone who might be interesting in helping with either coding or with marketing. My email is vojto at focustask.app

Nice work on this and on the demo video as well! The keyboard shortcuts and visual interactions look polished. This is essentially how I think about my todos, too.

What's the name of the nonprofit? I'd be interested in learning more! Email is in my profile
