Re:Ex-Twitter Employees should build a new Twitter on Friday November 18, 2022 @01:49AM (#33651232)
Normally yes building the userbase is the hardest part but I believe this is a "fork" in the road where a massive ideological difference exist between 2 camps such that you could convince a huge portion of users to migrate. An crypto example would be Ethereum and Ethereum classic.

How does this work? The scammer does the actual work but you attend the meetings? How would you know the answer to anything? If the scammer can do the work, why don't they just apply for the job legitimately? Is it a visa or job permit issue?

Re:Ask HN: Why does it feel like MMO server tech hasn't changed? on Thursday September 30, 2021 @11:58AM (#28707836)
This is their first MMO. They're playing it safe from the server tech side but I agree they seem to have the same limits as the very first gen MMOs like Everquest or Asheron's Call. Player names are global unique so there's probably some plans to unify servers at some point. World size probably also played a part as it is on the smaller side.
So in your example, the investors are basically getting a 300% return if the company sells for 15M or more?
