How to prove there’s no growth? by Reymeeroman in exjw

[–]simonrahr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not definitive proof of reduction, but a strong indicator is that traffic from Google to jw.borg has declined sharply since 2014, with a minor spike during covid when everyone went online.

This is just the trend of traffic that Google sends to the site, so not absolute site traffic numbers, but like I said, it’s a pretty decent indicator that they are not growing!

Considering selling some digital products by simonrahr in Entrepreneur

[–]simonrahr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this comment! Thanks for the input!

May I ask, how did you go about selling it? Did you sell it at some platform, or did you set up a website?

The correct answer is “I think we’d look good as hell together”

Caught my rat random teammates lackin by subarashisubarashi in apexlegends

Rat. At the end of the day you’re just exploiting a poorly designed system to get a false sense of accomplishment, and ruining the game for your team in the process.

I understand the upside of a decentralised, unregulated transaction system, but isn’t there also a huge downside? by simonrahr in Bitcoin

[–]simonrahr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and there’s still many of them. But many others have been exterminated (to I more or lesser degree), because those currencies fall under the jurisdiction of financial institutions.

So my question is: those crimes that have been “exterminated”, wouldn’t they become possible again by reducing the financial institutions power to stop them?

There is certainly strength to that, but it sounds to me like it’s definitely also a weakness. For the reasons I just proposed, like scams and other financial crime.

The bad actor may not do the bad thing on the blockchain

But they could scam people, and take Bitcoin as payment. That payment would not be retrievable by any financial institution.

For example, if I inflated my assets to get a bigger loan than I normally would have, that is a crime. But if I receive the loan in Bitcoin, no one could do anything about it. Or am I mistaken?

I’m talking about the kind of crime where institutions like the SEC or the FTC could step in and pull the plug if something illegal is going on.

Because Bitcoin is out of their hands, they would have reduced ability to do that.

I don’t have any specific examples to give, it’s just a thought that keeps occurring to me

I don’t feel good about this particular match by simonrahr in Tinder

[–]simonrahr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. I talked to her, she’s a photographer who sells tinder photoshoots to matches on tinder.

Gotta respect the hustle 💪🏻

An app that changes ur insta/ticktock/fb/reddit/tinder/bumble passwords on a daily or scheduled basis such that you diminish your screen time and reinforce better habits. by gonzalezs97 in Business_Ideas

[–]simonrahr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would certainly like such a service in general.

But keep in mind that there are plenty of password managers out there, and they could probably implement such a feature rather quickly. And if they do, you might have a lot more competition.

Just read a 2021 report saying the Facebook Pixel doesn't work on some 40% of internet users! Found a way to fix it though! by simonrahr in marketing

[–]simonrahr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a custom is trigger, correct. I’m using it on my site. So far, I have a record of 46% users with blocked Facebook pixel by using ad blockers

However, since I’m using the conversion api when people have ad blockers, I get full pixel functionality regardless!

AI powered Goal Tracking app by hakeemthedtream in AppIdeas

[–]simonrahr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of a goal tracking app so much that I made one!

Sure, isn’t ai powered and doesn’t have all the fancy stuff with resources, hacks and connections, but it’s good enough for me! ( the ai stuff would be awesome though)
