I use it daily now. 1. Little programming tasks. I.e., write me a javascript function that extracts the tweetid from a tweet. Beats Googling it and then having to research through 15 years of Stackoverflow posts 2. Email upgrades. Sometimes

>you need a LOT of work to build in robustness and correctness. While bias is the more politically charged problem, variance is the problem of the current iteration that needs to be solved.

When validating a product it can make sense to gauge initial interest by offering a lifetime deal. If your product is valuable enough, having stable MRR is better.

I am with you on this one. What defines us as a people is the ability to enjoy shared social experiences. The more tailored and personalized an experience becomes the more it isolates us. We don't (at least I am my social circle) speak

Anecdotal evidence: Friends of mine tried to open up a corporate bank account in Singapore for their crypto-business. Doesn't go too well.

- Due to recent UI changes people realize that nobody reads their Tweets therefore they will stop using the app. Musk needs to sell more Tesla shares to keep the lights on. But it will be too late. - META gets more fines. Zuckerberg steps b

Take some time off. Spend time doing something else. Clear your mind. This year specifically is the Big Suck. I always have to laugh when people say it was so easy to raise funds in 2020/2021 and no DD was done. Maybe if you have the

Couldn't agree more. I learned that the hard way. Building a business with a nice funding cushion and salary is way way way different than bootstrapping. Edit: Timebox it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

You are fully right. And only underlines my point.

There is an assumption that Tesla has peaked as competitors are successful in gaining market share. Rivian's successful of Amazon launch [1], Lucid is starting in Europe [2], and NIO is opening up in Europe. Is Tesla, given that scenar

You have two problems. (1) It's a function of audience. I am writing on Medium with moderate success (~1.4K followers, prior top 5% of business writers worldwide), and I noticed that content discovery on the platform is just broken. Th

Maybe immortality is a requirement for space travel? With the 78 years avg that we currently have we won't get far unless we bend spacetime. If everyone lives forever, time becomes meaningless.

As someone who always missed failing cronjobs, I am using Airflow with Slack integration. I.e., every time the job finishes, I get a message. If the job fails, I also get a message.

We operate stakepools that have introduced a really smart and effective way to introduce a monetary layer into content and services online. They sit on top of treasuries that pay out every 5 days and this concept is really nice and works we

My thoughts on this are two-fold. Firstly, people need to earn money for their work. The age of ad-based revenue sharing never really worked and created un-usable experiences in various app-stores of the world. With the decline in digital a

A couple of questions. Do you want to connect with people that you know of people (OG Facebook) that you want to know (OG LinkedIn). Because these are entirely different products. How do you want to surface content? Based on interest or bas

Everyone in that industry is greedy. That's why everyone is there, I suppose. The whole purpose is to make money. And the only way to make money is to take it away from someone who had the contrarian opinion. These people they prayed

Clearly shows that every social platform that was launched with good intentions can be abused by snake-oil salesmen to promote their products. What would it take to weed this out? 1. Confirm holdings before posting. 2. Display holdings at t

That might be the inexperience. He used pretty much every outlet out there to talk about his story and what really surprised me was the naïveté of SBF and Caroline.

That's what I am doing with finclout. The noise on Stocktwits, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc is just way too high. Hence, offering a value adding app + the social component is where its at. IMHO.

If I would be running Medium, I would be really worried. The platform already has the worst discovery. Now this will be even worse as content velocity will quickly increase.

Likely. Running extended collections operations across highly dispersed (low density) population is extremely expensive.

Nope. That's pretty much the gist of the whole shenanigan. As a former CRO, it's not unheard of but quite uncommon to do this. Because normally it has the opposite effect. It should have been only audited financials. But the Big
