After spending an evening with friends refreshing "ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com" and jokingly trying to name the non-existent people it shows, I came up with the idea to make a game out of it.
I spent a few hours vibe coding it, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy it! Happy to hear feedback.
This is great. Local, "among-friends" prediction markets are a cool niche to explore - if the experience can be gamified properly this can be a great viral app.
Hmm I get it's a thrill for the author to get exposure/internetfame, but what's in it for the bettors?
Looks to me that if bets reach enough of a one-sided weight, it's super easy for OP to just "forget" to study for their test
Yeah I think that's my goal here. Traditional payment platforms like Stripe charge a ridiculous fee that makes small prediction markets unviable -- but with Crypto payments small markets can actually become a thing
Bob arrives at The Five Corners and has himself and Bart (with his hands and feet bound with duct tape) stand in two of the states at the meeting point. He then tells Bart of his plan to murder him: Bob will stand in one state; reach into a second state and shoot his gun; have the bullet travel through a third state; hit Bart in a fourth state; and Bart will fall dead in the fifth state (although this is not possible, as the bullet would have to curve around to actually hit Bart). Because all portions of the process is legal, he will have immunity from prosecution in all five states so Bob can’t be charged for Bart's murder.
I think there was a man in England insert long ago who killed someone and fled. 40 years later he was found and put on trial. In his defense he argued that he wasn't the same man of 40 years ago. And could point to many many differences to prove his point. The court was quite impressed and had him hung anyways.
Contextually, it hardly matters. However, "hung", as described of a person (usually male), typically refers to the endowment of their genitals and "hanged" will refer to the result of "hanging" as a method of execution.
When Michel Ney was tried for treason (after supporting Napoleon's and subsequent second abdication), his lawyer wanted to argue that since he was born on Prussian soil, his hometown recently being annexed by Prussia, he as a Prussian could not be tried for French treason. Ney himself rejected this, saying that he was French and would always be French. He was sentenced to death.
That’s true, but a lot of Cyber security products are also made in Israel (Most of Microsoft’s Defender products are developed here, as well as Israel-born companies such as Palo Alto Networks, Checkpoint, SentinalOne, and countless other startups).
The fact is that the tech scene in Israel is very much Cybersecurity oriented and as such it’s logical that there will be lots of companies doing both sides of this.
