The two features my amazing team and I have been grinding on for the last few months is finally announced - verify your Uber rides using PIN and Ultrasound tech!!
Introducing Verify Your Ride with PIN — a new safety feature we're launching soon. Here's how it works:
1️⃣Riders will receive a unique 4-digit PIN for their ride in the app
2️⃣Rider shares PIN with driver
3️⃣The trip only begins in the app once the driver enters the correct PIN

Some of my old & raw thinking (2017) around crypto, art, AI.

“We are also seeing new NFT behaviors emerge…In some settings, low/no-cost minting is gradually becoming a new social primitive akin to a “like” or a “repost””
NFTs went through a significant bubble and (like much of crypto) became a stigmatized term
but as we enter 2024, it’s clear that:
1. digital art and collectibles aren’t going anywhere
2. NFTs are as flexible as ever and poised to permeate more and more of our digital lives
