Hi Peter,

We have an employee that just won the H1B lotto. We don't actually pay employees any cash (all future payments). Will this be an issue?

Thanks!

If you're Orthodox, keeping Shabbat (no phones for 24 hours) solves this - at least for one day a week.

I'm working on a search engine. One foundational difference is that we care about People Rank (TM), not Page Rank.

Does everyone else assume it'll be a joke/junk/horrible before clicking the link, or is it just me?

A new AI search engine that's democratic.

Some opinions: - Most queries don't require a list of links. Some do. - Most lists of links should be curated by trusted experts. - There should be a way to flip between the results. - A good mission statement for a filing cabinet is "organize the world's information". - The correct mission statement is solve the need. - The only way to do this is democratically. Can't do this alone. - One company in this space is crazy.

To whom it may concern,

We're building a new search engine. Of course it's AI driven, but at its core, it's all about human dignity. When you use it, you'll have a voice. If you'd like to try it, please email me: [email protected]

Thanks! Josh

PS. If you'd like to join our team, we have 16 people now (mostly Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter folks), and we'd like to go up to 50 before we raise capital. It's going to be a wild ride.

If anyone is interested in joining Google's real competition ;-) please email me [email protected]

We have a small team (ex-Twitter/Snap/Facebookers mostly), and MVP, and a tiny bit of early revenue.

Thanks!

Google Maps is amazing.

Sirch.

The search engine of the future. Tired of 23938384 results in 0.00003 seconds to sift through each time you query?

Sirch gives you what you need. No sifting. How? AI + Democracy

We have an MVP that folks seem to like so far, and a small team. Most of us are a bit weird. Fully remote. Hiring: AI engineer + Consumer app growth expert. Joining us is very high risk/reward.
