I was making a game based on Elle Magazine's song association (YouTube Game)
- In the YouTube game a guest gets a word and has 10 seconds to sing a song with the word in the lyrics (the requirement is that he must get to the part with the given word within 10 seconds)
- My game in flutter displays a word, and lets the player sing into the mic while running a countdown and converting the audio to text (if it gets to the word in the lyrics within 10 seconds it stops) then it looks up the lyrics via GeniusAPI if it finds a match that is a point, if it doesn't that is a loss
also if you don't get to the word within 10 seconds that is a loss
I intended to make this multiplayer but I got busy in the early stages and kind of abandoned it, intend to get back to it soon
Cards are moving towards no card at all i.e. virtual cards. USA is very slow in adopting new payment technology compared to the rest of the world. I live in South Africa and tap to pay is so much of a thing that you do not have to worry if you leave your card at home as you can tap at like 80% of the merchants, and if you can't they will have a fall back like QR code etc, NFC enabled cards have been around for years and all the merchants are really quick in adopting them.
this is dope, and also something I have been working on on android (yes I am gonna be that guy, Android has supported this for a long time)... it's great for informal merchants, and maybe waiters that run around a bar collecting bills from customers... but actual POS devices aren't going anywhere, there is always gonna be a need for them, this function has been there and even has a name (softPos) many companies can give you this functionality TODAY on your android phone, so yes apple devices can now participate but it won't shake the market as everyone thinks.
The only difference between Google and any other private company is that Google publicizes it's "experiments" early, most companies have the same rate of experiments being closed or even higher, they just keep them private. It makes more sense when you look at Google as an R&D company, than a finished product company
Funny, I wrote an article about why people don't cite Wikipedia as a source for information in scholary papers when in fact Scholary papers can fall to the same trap of being "not reliable" the same way wikipedia is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21989531 not so long ago
