Show HN: Liquid Auctions – Instant liquidity powered by incentivized biddinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38558612GM HN!Working on a novel way to auction non-standard tokenized assets. Two main quirks with the way our auctions work1. Bid-to-earn model that encourages bidders to participate actively, bidding high and early. Incentivizing people to bid even though they may not want the underlying asset.2. Instant Liquidity: Sellers get to tap into the liquidity from the bidders by paying a fee that gets redistributed to bidders based on how much bid "risk" they take (the standard rate is set at 3%)Note: Sellers can cancel the auction anytime, but they will need to repay whatever they took out plus an additional fee, which is paid to bidders. Canceled auctions effectively become loans. Unlike p2p laon protocols, our auctions optimize for the sale (default) instead of the repayment.Video showing how to get a loan/advance for a tokenized Pokemon card on Liq: https://www.loom.com/share/5bd2d2fd4e7f4ff58a7227379720e2d2?sid=ab9429d1-30a2-41e6-82ac-15afc47a2835If you want to bid or play around with what weDec 7, 2023 4:48 PM

Tell HN: Amazon AWS abuse report form returns "Something went wrong"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38554522Hey HN,Is it me or every most of the major internet service provider are trying to evade the question of abuse of their services. It can be seen when Microsoft hosts phishing files in their cloud storage with no way to report the abuse or response from their abuse contact in IP WHOIS. Google is similar in that regard where the images in phishing e-mails are hosted in Google cloud storage or Gmail is used for sending obvious inheritance millions spam.Last instance of abuse evasion is with Amazon AWS. I receive several spam e-mails from their SES and when reported to email-abuse@amazon.com it is unnoticed and keep getting same spam messages for a few years already.To try something different I tried Amazon AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/forms/report-abuse) abuse report form and received "Something went wrong" message when I tried to submit it from different browsers and IPs. Actually, POST request with the submitted data to https://api.support.aws.amazon.com/v1/contacts/report-abuse-v2 returDec 7, 2023 9:26 AM

Tell HN: I hate contemporary "predictive tile" UI design so muchhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38549530I open Spotify. One day many moons ago, Spotify was a tool for listening to music. Now I'm not sure what it is. It presents me with eight tiles, all unlabeled, all with an identical sleek black appearance. One of the tiles is an auto-generated playlist Spotify made "for me". Two of the tiles are playlists I made myself. One of the tiles is an artist I often listen to. Every time I open the application the tiles are arranged in a different order. It is difficult to find where Spotify has stored my playlists, or to sort my library by artist, because every single screen and command button is presented as a series of auto-generated tiles.I open Google Search. One day many moons ago, it was a tool for searching for online content. Now I'm not sure what it is. It presents me with five advertisements, and then above the advertisements it presents me with a random number of tiles running off of my phone screen.
