Apps like Spotify in my Volvo are convinced I am in New Jersey while I'm on the opposite coast. On one hand I like that inaccurate data is being peddled to advertisers but at the same time I would actually prefer regionally relevant ads if I have to listen to them anyway.

It seems akin to SEO experts identifying as engineers. Can we just call them experts or wizards if they want to be fantastical.

Most experienced crypto users would use multiple wallets. But advertising any of your wallet addresses is asking for people to send you scam coins. It just pollutes your wallet and makes it that much more likely that you will trip up and interact with a scam smart contract.

I used to find solace in the fact I could call a company and get to someone who can resolve my issue. These days I feel like it's impossible to get to a human, let alone one with any power, without jumping through hoops. It makes me hesitate to put trust into new products/services.

If you could wrangle AI to solve this problem for you, I'm sure you wouldn't have any issues solving the captcha manually. Hence the CodeCaptcha still works!

While the current hype around NFTs seems like a giant scam, it's interesting to note that there is VCs investment in the area. That is, VCs investing in the infrastructure to mint/sell NFTs.

The deposit is generally worth more than the scrap price for the cans. For example, NY can deposit is $0.05 [0] while the average scrap price is $0.13/lbs [1]

I don't think you are curious, rather you're making a not so subtly veiled point against immigration which is wholly inappropriate in the context of this thread.
Re:I've created a Twitter clone on-chain to Ethereum's testnet

I'm not super familiar with the concepts here, but can one NFT represent multiple tweets? I thought I read something about Coinbase introducing transaction bundling to reduce "network fees" on the blockchain. Could that be applied here, regular user tweets could be bundled into NFTs, while premium/verified users could pay to have each tweet minted as it's own NFT?

I understand not speaking about sex, politics and religion. But replies in this thread give me the idea that people are also hiding their family life, Netflix queue and sports teams. You're right, this is some dystopian nightmare.

I don't want to be rude, but this post just seems like pure promotion for the mentoring service the author provides. I'm curious though, if you're pulling in 1MM/year, why bother shilling yourself for a couple hundred an hour for mentoring sessions?
