> It even has a sprinkle of the silly "wow very technology!" aesthetic pandering that's typical of EVs.

I've never heard it referred to that way, but you nailed the description.


Back in 2019 I created a Google Spreadsheet titled "family debts" that allows my family (4 siblings and my parents) to record when we owe each other money, and periodically settle up. I later learned that I recreated Splitwise, but having something like this with trusted folks has been hugely useful. We have over thousand entries, and use it constantly for splitting gifts, buying something at the store for someone, etc.

Om Friday after Thanksgiving I spent half a day building a telegram bot that accepts an address and a list of Amazon links, and in turn orders the item (at a discount since it uses my Amazon credit card), and adds it to the above "family debts" spreadsheet.

I really like the idea of programmable, trusted lending like this, and feel like it could be extended to other groups that you implicitly trust.


Yeah, if the telegram and whatsapp spam I get is any reading, limiting by phone number is not sufficient.


whatsapp is the worst because it shows everyone the phone number


If it's an all out race between the different AI providers, then it's logical for OpenAI to hire employees that are pre-trained rather than training up more internally.


A lot of airlines have started doing this by "gate checking" bags.


Switzerland's wealth tax is a lot more reasonable though. UK is 2%, Norway is 1.1%, the Swiss ones are all below 1% (depends on your canton), ex the Zug canton is 0.21%.


There is no UK wealth tax - just your normal income / capital gains tax etc. Dont know what your 2% is meant to be referring to here.


Then accept stablecoins.


Then you go back to fraud free tier account problem.


Require a phone number for free tier, make stablecoins a path for paid only access.


Something like a `/raw` suffix would be amazing. Example: `https://www.dum.pt/dump/302460a1-1ed0-40b0-b637-e9d04a168678...`.


In normal cases I mostly agree - you can just charge it while taking a shower or something that you do every day. That said, Garmin's battery life shines when you are using it on a non-normal day.

Overnight camping, and sleeping in a tent for a few nights is a good example. I'm not "taking a shower" and hence don't really have a great time to charge it. With my garmin I just leave it on, and it keeps working for the entire trip.

Same thing with other "adventure" travel, flying overnight, etc.
