I just started this site a couple months ago and made my first sale last week (from an unknown customer).
It's just a matter of finding public domain, high quality satellite photos!
> Title VII of the 1964 act broadly prohibits employers from discriminating against workers, including in hiring and firing decisions, based on an employee’s sex.
> The Trump administration argued that the 1964 law doesn’t cover LGBT workers.
There's a debate around whether "employee's sex" includes "employee's sexual orientation."
Why call it a PIN and not a password to begin with? Is there a difference I'm missing?

He even made a commercial that's pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wWkAHOph6A
Love idea #3, I'll have to dig in and see if there's enough of that. Might be info that's in the article and not in the quote itself.
I'm excited to get into #4 as I go through historical sources and extract old quotes.
1) I am using the press as a kind of filter of what's interesting (hypothesis: they pick the most interesting thing executives are saying on earning calls)
2) I am working on extracting other sources like earning transcripts and twitter, but this will be tougher for me to go through due to the sheer amount of things that are said in those sources
SEC is a good one too, the management analysis section of filings is always interesting so I could extract that.
Thanks for the feedback!
I think that's a good point, I will add an "about" page. I was thinking of adding a "how it works" page as well, I'll work on that.
The intro will be shorter from now on, that last one was still intended for a small audience who was helping me iterate on the newsletter.
The main reason I'm starting this newsletter is to start conversations with people about this data, which is why I want people's emails.
Right now I'm hoping people are enticed enough to put their email address to check it out. I might be wrong about that and I might add a link to the latest email on the home page in the future to see if signups improved.
I have no intention of selling those emails. My goal is to start a Saas platform based on this data. A very small number of subscribers will hopefully become clients. The rest can just enjoy the newsletter and help me get the word out if they feel like it.
I initially thought I would be able to manually review each quote (which was the main reason I built the admin), but it quickly became obvious that it was just too many quotes so I had to improve quote detection and attribution.
Big thanks to whomever wrote the spacy doc, I knew nothing about NLP (and I still know next to nothing tbh), but I was able to start using it pretty quickly.
Over the past few months I have been building a data pipeline that extracts quotes and assigns them to company executives, using natural language processing (spacy).
I am focusing on the tech industry right now which I know pretty well (I used to work at CB Insights). Every Wednesday I put together a newsletter featuring interesting quotes and explain why they matter.
Eventually, Oversaid will be a platform that lets you search quotes yourself and come up with your own analysis, but I wanted to launch something early while I build out the product so that I can learn from prospective customers.
I'm having a lot of fun writing these up and I hope you enjoy reading them!
