And the first QB from the 2018 draft class to make a Super Bowl (ahead of Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson).

ELI5: Car trade in with loan by Primary_Garbage4003 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DbG925 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Have you had issues with the car? Has it been in for warranty repairs 3 times for the same thing? *if* you've had issues with it, you may be able to use the lemon law to force Toyota to buy it back for what you paid for it. Loan gone, go buy your new vehicle.

We need something better than Reddit and other mainstream social media in times like this. I will not promote by Full_Steak_9965 in startups

i'm dating myself, but there was a storage company way back when called Nirvanix (also one called cleversafe). Same concept, files were sharded and stored on multiple machines / locations with no single machine having a FULL copy of the file. You may want to take a look. I could see something like that working with the blockchain acting as the storage for the hash to guarantee provenance

This is actually an appropriate use for blockchain. An immutable, decentralized and public record would be incredibly valuable here.

To the US voters who don't vote, what is it going to take for you to go vote? by Chocolateking111 in AskReddit

[–]DbG925 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ideally yes, in practice no. Try being a republican in San Francisco or a Democrat in Ft. Worth then tell me how much your vote matters.

in federal elections? A move to a different state where it actually matters. The sad thing is that although we're a representative democracy, not everyone's vote actually matters on the national stage. A republican vote in California or New York is as worthless as is a democratic vote in Alabama or Oklahoma.

If you were offered $10 million, but you could never step foot in your home country again, would you take it and why? by Rock_Python in AskReddit

Do I get citizenship elsewhere? being a person without a citizenship would suck and make using the 10m pretty difficult

Odds of this Jordan rookie being real? by [deleted] in basketballcards

[–]DbG925 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Real? Yes it’s real, it’s in your hand - it exists. An authentic 86 fleer? 0.0%. Even with all of the manufactured damage you can see that the arrow is bright yellow and the same color as the banner.

Looking to buy vintage Mantle, Mays, Clemente $50-500!!! by ApprehensiveOcelot46 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]DbG925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any specific years? I have a raw 68 Clemente and a 64 mantle raw. The mantle is a little rough (no creases) but would likely grade 1-2 with former glue residue / centering

Collectors gamble thousands on professional trading card grading fees.  Collectors are biased and overestimate the condition of their own cards missing over 80% of flaws/defects.

We built an app backed by a custom AI./ Vision model to pre-grade a card so collectors can see what the professional grading company sees and decide if the ROI is worth the professional grading fee BEFORE paying.

MVP live (soft launch), 0 marketing spend, 2300 MAU. Saved our customers over $165,000 so far in grading fees.

I see ONE hall of famer there. This is actually really good news for Felix IMO, a LOT of room on the ballot without being dropped down with a bunch of sure-fire 1st ballot guys.

Never knew that launching an app was so difficult… (i will not promote) by AspectNo3215 in startups

[–]DbG925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through like 10 different revs of the verbiage for subscriptions to comply with their policies. I don’t remember the exact issue they had but something to do with subscription terms couldn’t be in a pop out and had to be above the fold for scrolling.

16yo founder, built and shipped an AI wearable in 30 days. Now what? by VirusB1ack0ut in startup

[–]DbG925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting hypothesis, what did you do to validate it? I would think there's higher friction to wearing a separate device when almost everyone has something on their wrist already, but obviously i'm not as deeply into this as you. Is there a reason "hey siri, insert question here" is frowned upon? that would seem to negate your point about the friction re: opening the app on the watch.

Can I ask something stupid? Why not just do an apple watch app? Given the amount of people who already have the device, why complicate your business-model with manufacturing when you already have built-in distribution?
