as a user of the digg revival(another social network that died but had good backing), i'm highly skeptical of the new approaches of 'anti-reddit/botting/addictive design'

the reason being I don't think people address the supply side of the equation: why should I an individual contribute to your ecosystem of content? I personally left digg because there wasn't any new content and I wasn't getting enough satisfaction with the current engagement? Ironic right? Any new subreddits also suffer from this same problem, little engagement until a threashold is crossed-1k members,5k members,etc it depends on the community. To get to their is extremely hard and it would make more sense to go to an existing ecosystem like X, LinkedIn, Reddit,Instagram etc

plz don't take this as criticism of the idea, but rather the blind spot that I've seen many times with these new social media sites.

Thank you for your comment! That is a very valid observation - network effect is hard to beat. Moreover, because of how our voting system works, the project becomes even more dependent on community size than, say, reddit, that has a top-down moderation structure. And it is also dependent on volunteers voting on the content and on moderation proposals. That is more work than, say, clicking upvotes sometimes or just consuming content. But hey, if in exchange you get better bot resistance, better content, and full transparency, would the additional effort not be worth it?

And, of course, as the hero section of the landing page says, this is still an experiment. Indeed, it does not matter whether it works mathematically if it does not work psychologically - this is what we want to test!

I find these kinds of blog very poor and foster extremist thinking allowing little nuance and context-while pointing to biased sources to prove their point.

Regarding the Claude leak, it seems the summary of the point is “Claude steals creative work from people via training data. Copywriting strikes have been used to oppress people. Anthropic is not a morally good company because of an implicated missle strike in Gaza, so it’s a good thing something happens to a big tech company”

The writer feels does not adress the complex legal definition of copyright and AI. And this feels like a politically charged piece rather than a fair critique of Claude’s leak

Do b2b sales 1) identify best architectural/construction firms near you

2) buy donuts/other bribes and give it to them for free to raise brand awareness

3)send them an email or call them

4)close like 5-10% of deals

5) listen to feedback and iterate your product and sales motion

If I’m not wrong a lot of the email gateways have died because people would spam

help me understand this. This guy is dropshipping glp-1's from a company that has a network(?) of trusted vendors which they get from the big pharma companies. And now he's doing the dropshipping thing of building a brand

I'm highly suspicious of these revenue claims because how is he doing any of the marketing? Tiktok bans you if you post ugc content saying anything about peptides. FB doesn't allow medicine to be marketed nor does google. If he's dropshipping how is he doing the marketing?

It's in the article—he buys advertising on news sites. They claim to have verified his financials

To be fair, if the meta verse did succeed, it would've been an amazing play.They were the only serious tech company in the space, they own oculus, and has many of years in the space. I'm sure it was justified with, if this works(20% chance=> trillions of dollars, infinite shareholder value). If this didn't, we ONLY lost 80BN

Just like how currently google via waymo is the leader in autonomous driving.

FYI you might want to do this via [ask hn] to get a more appropriate response.

Regarding your question, there needs to be more context- specifically why do you need an fde that you can’t do via backend engineer. Palantir was special and it’s incorrect to use broad strokes to apply to every company

Thank you! I couldn't figure out how to post there. Guess I need to figure it out! A backend engineer might be OK if they had some solid customer-facing experience as well. I hear your point on Palantir, I just used it as an example because it's so commonly known. The big challenge here is finding people who A) have both skill sets and B) want this kind of role.

So just a poorly ran press event? With no notable difference between an actual bar and the “situation room”.

Honestly was expecting more gambling- disappointed that it turned out to be a press event

"Other surveys suggest less bullying when devices are taken out of the school day."

I'm a little suspicious on this claim, feels very much "phones are the cause of the death of everything in this generation" sort of feel. At least I do not see the link between bullying and being on phones

It’s not clear from the article but it’s posibly about cyberbullying..

Being someone who took a month or two to look into mcp servers, I'm geniunely surprised the monetization of mcp servers have not come yet. I was pretty positive as ai agents grow bigger then the need for paid quality servers will surely increase. That said I do understand it's still very early and 99% of people have never heard mcp servers.

My personal take is that mcp servers had very little value outside of info gathering like connecting claude code to supabase to save on token usage. But we'll obv see as the ecosystem develops and people develop new unique servers
