Why are these two completely different metrics being put into the same title as if they correlate in some rational way?
The answer is they don’t, but it incites irrational reactions. Which, in my mind, is what Reddit is for; not HN.
Thanks for making this.
Maybe LLM’s auto transcribing and pinning timelines to them (like loom does) is the solve.
The industry simply recycling its business model in new delivery methods is a valid complaint/perception.
Innocent until proven guilty, not guilt until proven innocent.
Being de-platformed from financial infrastructure is tantamount to being economically jailed and instantly forced into life altering poverty. This isn’t some silly app you’re getting banned from…
Banks shouldn’t be allowed to ban anyone. They should need a court order to lock up/ban someone from access/mobility of their own property.
That said, this is likely a narrow lens statement. The problem is more complex around governments/judicial systems incentivizing banks to behave like governments. In reality, our regulatory agencies need to do their jobs: regulate/enforce and be held accountable when they don’t (instead of passing that enforcement on to banks through threat of liability).
Another obvious manipulation by Hinge (and the other apps) is I’m almost 100% positive they artificially limit who they show you by stacking the deck with a bunch of profiles of women they know haven’t logged into the service in awhile. Basically priming the pump with “possibility” to keep you engaged; diluting the active profiles and spreading any likely match possibilities out over time.
It’s things like these two realizations that made me decide these apps are not in existence to help you find a match. They’re incentive is the same as Facebook, engagement. You matching means you no longer using the app and that’s bad for business.
You get out what you put in.
We spend attention bandwidth to those we relate to. Those that don’t, we naturally let those text messages go unattended. We don’t think about it, we just naturally decline to foster any meaningful connection or development of one to those we don’t relate with.
It’s not all that smart sounding list of reasons, it’s simply subconscious behaviors that have created this reality.
I think these devices are going to become more tied 1:1 to our individual identities. Where my phone is a digital extension of my self. Acting as my wallet, gov ID, work ID, stores any info about me (or the private keys to get at the data in the cloud). Etc.
It’s really already to that point, it’s just not fully baked the way I describe above. But I think it’s highly likely to be exactly this eventually.
As a person in IT, I see an obvious change where hardware is still separated for people from person and work. people say they don’t want work on their personal devices, but then they’re the first to break that rule. Convenience is key.
So I think the solve is the same we’ve done elsewhere: 1 hardware device, multiple virtual spaces on top, all tied to the me that is the ID.

I don’t intend to be rude, I’m just genuinely curious to the motivation in creating stuff like this when it completely misses the value of the product it mimics.
How do these way early startups put together such animated, great looking website / landing pages?
Are one of you founders just brilliant front end designers? Is there some kind of easy/cheap service I’m missing out there? Did you just spend some crazy money on getting the page custom done for you?
This isn’t just some theme that was altered for you. The graphics, animations and layout are all matching to your message in a customized way in both copy and content.
What did you do?
You simply can’t get rid of certain types of productivity that only come from face:face interactions.
Personally, I like the 16 hrs (in-office) x 24 hrs (remote) default weekly schedule for my teams.
Hosted desktops require a consistent, reliable data connection. Which means any time mobility (car, plane, train, etc) is on the agenda or if an employee needs to work from an area without 100Mbps or better broadband (rural), work or access to work is complicated at best. Further, accessing that hosted environment still requires some kind of user hardware anyway.
Dedicated hardware per employee is still the best route in my opinion. At least then, if data connectivity is nowhere to be found, they can still get stuff done.
In the real world, that stuff isn’t an unlimited, instantaneous resource. Someone has to build that shelter, farm that food, etc.
In order for this to work, we would need to find free labor... that hasn’t worked so well historically. And sure, you could say technology could fill these labor needs to fundamentally reduce the cost of basic resources to zero, but I don’t think that’s really possible either in practice (the robot maker needs some incentive to make the robots that are providing these free services).
Further, you start replacing fundamental tasks with technology and you begin to remove the opportunity for tasks to better your life (like in the game) because technology isn’t just niche applicable generally.
IMO: It works if you ignore the premise that the game represents a complicated issue in the most simplistic way. But as soon as you put some economics to it, it breaks down super fast.
It has completely fudged any hope I have in them doing it with any sort of ease.
What you need, is a device that does literally nothing else but a video call over WiFi. May take some hacking, but may be possible with some effort.
A “subnet” is simply a predefined and dedicated space of IP addresses given on any type of network (most likely public or at least not-private).
What you probably want is a Private Network (or Private Cloud).
The “cloud” industry has really run rampant with standard networking terminology being used in Marketing and UI labels in ways unaligned to standard definitions, so double check.
But if they have a separate product for VPC/VPN, then the above is most likely true for them.
Tesla: 0.0322% (or 1 in about 3100 cars sold)
Ford: 0.8836% (or 1 in about 114 cars sold)
Its late for me, so check my math, but I think it’s right.
If so, my only advice is just keep doing what you’re doing. Start, get bored, start something else, get bored. Do it over and over again. Don’t stop.
Keep going until you find yourself into something that you don’t WANT to let go.
Life has a way of guiding you on its own. Just keep going until you find it.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You just haven’t found “it” yet. Which is just fine.
Keep going.
BioScience. So, so, so many things out there we ALREADY know/have/are capable of, but are held back from exploding us forward due to religiously founded governance. Younger generations are less tied to the latter, allowing the former to actually progress.
Both of these will happen faster than we think.
Doesn’t bother me either.
Side note: This is beyond the convo of the merit in how we do this today. Whole different convo.
It reminds me of the scene in Lord of War about the atrocity of a “used gun”.
