Hi sama, great letter. The only thing I would suggest for the next round is to identify some misses. What are some RFPs that you tried to solve and didn't and what are your insights on this? The two annual letters I like the most are B

It's ok Kyle, I'm with ya. I like most indiehackers articles but this one didn't really provide the same level of insight as most. I made over 150% returns on bitcoin in the last 13 months.... and I did nothing.

Agreed this could change the game. I think there is a large network effect to this type of product. Once people get used to it, learn how to code it, build tutorials, start using it on projects, and tell their friends about it, they won&#x2

Is this just called dark chocolate? Kidding aside, I'm hoping they don't replace it with some sort of chemical sweetener, I'm always suspicious of sugar replacements.

If I go to the site aliexpress.com it looks like the deals don't start for another 12 hours. Are there different launch times for the sales?

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails" - Sounds very happenstance. What are the odds something coincidental happened two weeks before the election?

Very interesting. The fact that Groupon buys a rival for pennies on the dollar sends the value of Groupon down 14%. Assuming people see this low purchase price as some sort of validation that the model doesn't work? Typically you woul

I assume that inputting historical judgements by the judge ruling over the case would improve the results but could also prove whether bias was involved.

I like your tool. This is just a random use case opinion of 1 - I liked the old Named Entity Recognizer because I could copy and paste the list into Wordpress as Tags. The new way seems cooler, but I can't do anything with it. Either w

Pure speculation here. I can't imagine that the "toothbrush test" is accurate here. There is a large market for robotic arms. And if Google's robot creates any advantage over existing robots in manufacturing, Google coul

I wonder at what point the nose was removed :)

Very interesting. It makes sense that you could learn the model for something like classification which has a cut and dry answer. Just brute force queries at the API, log the results, and start working on your own model based on theirs.

I agree. I think Google should follow suit on this. I think it will lead to quicker acceptance. That's not the lawyer in me talking though.

The biggest "gap" in manufacturing is the wages gap. Most new jobs in manufacturing require less skills than a Walmart greeter. They either stand around and press a button or stand around and pull a piece of plastic off a part. Ma

This is an interesting topic for companies looking for an investment. I would also be interested to see investor stories from this type of investing. I have looked at quite a few companies raising through these sites and never once saw a d

I feel like click baity titles need to intentionally withhold information to be evil. Get's to keep every penny is kind of assumed to be No VCs involved as well as there were no other founders employees with a large equity stake, which

The title feels like an oxymoron. I would assume the reason for spinning out a "moonshot" division is that if some projects fail, at least they are not part of the main division. Perhaps some of these projects are not the type th

Does this type of slide show do anything besides give TechCrunch more clicks/page views? Do people like this style? I do not.

There is an extremely fine line here. The people who make real money based on "endorsements" are business owners. They favor companies in which they receive some sort of benefit, whether implicit or not. The people who will suffer

As an aside, I really hope that future iterations of Google's SEO algorithm catch this. Right now it is too heavily weighted towards word count and keyword usage. People who write for SEO are rewarded for redundancy. There should reall

Interesting. I've read quite a few of Buffett's year-end reports, I wonder how much of these are written by Munger? Their writing style seems to overlap a little.

I'm 37. I've felt that way in the past. I've felt that way recently. I've had successes and I've had failures. Most people don't wake up and say "I've made it", if you are looking for that, it ra
