The idea Nate Silver took a far right turn is laughable. Saying the democratic candidate is going to lose or that some D positions are clearly unpopular doesn’t make one hard right, just pointing out what the numbers show.
Saying the Dodgers have good chance of winning World Series doesn’t make one a Dodgers fan. Or saying most people like iPhones make one an Apple fan.
It is not. Lots of exposure. Those who complain were not customers. Those who are potential customers don't care about comments on twitter.
Can argue backlash hurts YC but for the company itself probably helps in long run.
Could you have video calls with no internet just over routers and then later added people via internet if wanted to? Or I am I not understanding it correctly.
A little stick is what India needs. People doing stuff like driving their motorcycle on the footpath aka sidewalk, will stop doing it if you offer just a touch of resistance and just stand there. It isn’t the US where you have small but real chance of being shot (at least in southern India, bihar etc might be exception)
Same with jumping the que, calling people out generally does the trick.
Some problems are more complex but a little more stick in India would make some solid improvements in everyday life.
Their pitch is health. But that pitch is murky with no good hook to keep you hooked for a monthly subscription. So after they get the initial $99 from the customer, most of the value customer is going to get is already served up in the first report. Maybe their big database will turn into making cancer drugs but maybe it wont.
Everything else is basically FB Marketplace, Offerup, nextdoor, craiglist.
If you can make an app that enough people use is questionable, let alone be profitable is another thing.
Whats the plan to make $?
1. Change the pic of you, the site makes it feels like premium product then there is a pic of you in your room with plastic target bag. Ruins it.
2. make the format for all the names of the apple people the same. Not some with upper case or under score or period.
Other comment would be can probably cut down on some of the text. Don't over sell. The point of flowy is instant and easy.
They do if they are very harsh, see Singapore, Indonesia etc. America doesn't want to that.
As I said I am very open to them be considered but I also don't think those who have committed offense against society should have priority over people who have not.
I think these prisoners should be given consideration but job automatically? No. People often push for policies for which they don't have to comply with.
$10 for 50mps.
Can also get deals such as for 200mbs with modem for $25 a month (depends where you live).
Yes there are places in the world with better deals but saying 23 million people are going to lose it, just isn't accurate.
Until then the title makes for good clickbait but nothing believable.
This tweet I read earlier today lays out the case:
"The best reason to go to a top 10 American university:
In a random class you'll have a governor's daughter, the son of a billionaire and two guys with 170+ IQ. It's a hell of a group of people to mingle with to succeed in life. I'm super anti-university but I'll admit that this alone probably makes those schools worth it.."
This seems set as specific individual money pots you can buy into instead of monthly goals as at least one previous app was set on.
Money is the best universal motivator, there are others could be more motivating but to a lot fewer people.
I hope this succeeds and more people accomplish the goals they set.
Two main problems, 1. it is much easier to make a compelling tweet/post than audio clip. 2. And much less time consuming to consume text and pics.
Unless this is live and then you have the problem of people have to be on at the same time.
Unless you can find answers to these problems, spend your valuable time on more feasible idea.
Honesty as non mobile gamer, it would still work fine for basically all the apps I use on my newer iphone pro (except for the camera).
Do lawyers get embarrassed when writing stuff like this? He made no shortage of public appearances. He is also going to most likely serve in a lower security facility.
Best thing that creators could do is tell other creators to quit. The author doesn't say this part but really that is what it comes down to.
Instead she offers a generic advice about diversifying the medium of delivery.
