In the age of technology, where everything and everyone is tracked and shared, I wanted to bring awareness to technology-facilitated abuse. Did you know 99.3% of domestic violence victims report that technology was used in the abuse? That's nearly everyone. (You can find more eye opening stats here.) Have you experienced harassment online or someone monitoring your location?
My Airbnb host in Chengdu is incredibly sweet and invited me to a family dinner. He mentioned he bought a special bottle of Baijiu to celebrate. I've heard this stuff is basically rocket fuel. I'm honored, but how do I drink it politely without embarrassing myself or passing out?
Trying to vibe code a b2b payment platform - I work in finance (kinda junior) but i see the problems we face paying suppliers interntionally and it's insane. I trade a bit of crypto and see how much stablecoins could solve this problem, but i've been getting stuck on figuring out what the flow of b2b payments under the hood is. Putting my notes here for feedback and in case other indie folks are poking at this space.
Simplified flow, a business initiates a payment on the platform (enter amount, recipient, invoice ref), the platform calls the stablecoin payment infrastructure api (cybrid, bvnk, or similar) to initiate, the infrastructure validates kyb/kyc/aml and locks in the routing (fiat rail, stablecoin settlement, or hybrid), funds are pulled from the business's bank account (ach pull is native in cybrid, worth calling out because most infra skips this), stablecoin settlement happens on chain, converted to destination currency, paid out to the recipient's bank. Platform gets webhook updates at each stage.
The part that surprised me (in a good way cause vibe coding), the infra provider handles all the compliance and licensing, the platform just makes api calls. So from a build perspective you're really building the ui, the business logic (approval flows, invoicing, reconciliation), and not the payment mechanics. Cybrid is US and canada first, bvnk is stronger on euro corridors, bridge is dev first infrastructure for fintechs broadly, conduit is latam. Pick based on where your users are.
Anyone with more experience wants to poke holes in my mental model?
Edit: No idea why was it removed, here’s me trying again
Every night I turn up the TV so I can understand the dialogue, and every night my family complains that it’s way too loud. I’m tired of the arguments. I just want to watch a show without upsetting everyone.
I know TV streamers exist, but spending $300+ when I am replacing my hearing aids next month seems like a lot (which also makes me wonder why my hearing aids can’t handle TV on their own). I want to get something that’s good with watching TV without dealing with pairing, charging, and extra tech.So before I buy another pair, I’m hoping someone here can tell me: are there hearing aids that make TV dialogue clear without needing a streamer? Are there programs like "TV" or "Speech in Noise" that actually help with dialogue versus background sound? And are certain brands better than others for this?
I just saw the teaser for the spin-off and I am hyped. Seeing the space race from the Soviet side with all the paranoid thriller vibes? Yes, please. Ronald D. Moore really knows how to expand a universe. May 29th cannot come soon enough.
Got these in hand recently and wanted to share some quick thoughts.
Overall shape and materials feel solid, but I’m still a bit unsure about some details.
* Leather feels decent * Stitching looks okay overall * Colors seem close, but lighting might affect it
Not trying to hype or hate—just sharing.
What do you guys think? GL or are there noticeable flaws?

Europe is quickly following the United States in embracing prediction markets. After analyzing performance data on our platform, one thing is clear: traditional sportsbook content is no longer enough to engage today’s crypto-native and Gen Z audiences.
