Just wanted to say thanks for putting words to the anxiety that lurks in the back of my mind most days. Glad to know I'm not alone.
Re:Ask HN: Organize local communities without Facebook? on Tuesday January 21, 2025 @09:55AM (#42780766)
I have a similar pain in my rural community. All the restaurants and businesses post their news on the two local facebook groups, pretty much in lieu of having updated websites. I'd love it if there was a non-terrible alternative for this use case.
Here's me, clicking and expecting to read about someone fleecing Spotify by setting up fake bands.

Consider being a career expert - It’s low-commitment, high-impact, and, honestly, a pretty good time.

I'm spinning up this platform to help people exploring different career options find and talk to people working in careers they're interested in learning about.

As a volunteer career expert, you'll get requests from career explorers and then talk to them about your career.

They'll ask you questions like "What's your favorite part of your job", and "What did you do before you started this job?”, and “What is an average day like for you?”

They’re easy questions. Answering them is a big help for those trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives.

Musk could unveil the most dazzling technology, but would anyone believe he could actually deliver? It's a self-inflicted credibility issue.
There are SEO agencies that do this as a model. I know because I have been pitched by them.

1. You run a content website with a strong domain rating. 2. They approach you with an offer of creating a subsite (your brand + advisor, marketplace, etc) on your domain 3. They write all the content and completely manage the subsite - you have 0 risk (aside from brand risk) 4. You split the affiliate revenues from the subsite 5. The internet is now full of shitty content shilling diet pills and google can't figure it out

Re:Silicon Valley's best kept secret: Founder liquidity on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @06:51AM (#40656617)
This post has managed to piss off everyone: employees who didn't realize founders were getting liquidity events while they're still sitting on their more-often-than-not valueless equity, and founders who feel they've earned it and don't like the implication they haven't.

The Phoenix Project should be required reading for anyone in the management chain of software development, IT, devops, etc. Especially non-technical CEOs.

I don't know enough about robotics to judge BD's technology or innovations. What I can be sure of is that they have an incredible marketing function.
