• Bitcoin Block 840000

  The only way I can foresee a cryptocoin actually holding value is if spending the coin meant spending processing cycles and RAM doing things like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects But in more general sense, less like https://boinc.berkeley.edu/ and more like AWS... It's the only way to have value, actually holding computing power in a distributed network. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: What should I do with my leftover bandwidth?

  A few years back, I was in a similar situation and found BOINC(https://boinc.berkeley.edu/) to be a great way to contribute. It's a platform that lets you support various scientific research projects by sharing your computational power and bandwidth. However, it's worth noting that BOINC might tends to be more CPU/GPU intensive rather than bandwidth-heavy. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: What happens when I click "Request for quote" on your SaaS?

  Pretty sure that's exactly what Clearbit does. Although now their site has some AI hype on it and I can't tell if that's just the obligatory AI marketing, or if they actually changed their product. https://clearbit.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• How Profile Enrichment can boost your product

  For profile enrichment with Authgear, you create a Hook that could call an external API such as FullContact and Clearbit to grab some data and then put any extra information into the User Profile that every user gets when they sign up through Authgear. You could also integrate that data with the profile custom attributes of existing users who are logging in but are missing that information. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Getting Your Developers to See Value With a Great Developer Experience

  Leveraging an extension like Clearbit will help you surface the relevant demographic information, such as role, industry, and company size. This will then allow you to zero in on who is likely to be your next best customer. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Legality and ethics question about a feature I saw on a website

  I inspected the site a bit and it looks like they're using https://clearbit.com/ to get the company data. Personally I don't feel there is any ethical issue however everyone has their own opinions. It definitely feels a bit creepy. Source: about 2 years ago

• An Post and Ordnance Survey Ireland are selling intimate personal data about all of us - Irish Council for Civil Liberties

  No, I'm just a realist about it. I've worked in ecommerce for ~15 years and been invovled with massive implementations (Companies of scale such as Walmart) Part of my job is to understand and implement these tracking tools. I've seen them all, both from a European perspective (Where GDPR is a line that they all regularly cross) and a US context (Absolute wild west, anything goes in terms of data collection) Take a...
