Show HN: Get an email when Dario Amodei (or 230 others) gives an interview

I follow a handful of people to understand how they are thinking about the future. I kept finding out weeks later that one of them had sat for an interview somewhere. Subscribing to and tracking tons of YouTube channels and podcasts is a waste of time. So I built Recordal (https://recordal.app/). Pick the people you like and get an email when they do a new interview.The hard part was filtering...

Getting first 1-10 paying clients is really tough. And with the $12k-$120k/year range, it might have been really tough. Would you be able to share how did you get those first few paid clients? Thanks.
No response to this post can mean many things: 1. Everyone else (just like me) is also drinking from the survival bias success stories firehose. 2. There might not be many authentic referral-worthy failure stories books (there might be individual stories, though) 3. This piece just fell through the HN cracks:)

Ask HN: How do you find the energy for a side project after a 9-5 job?

I've heard/read that some people work 4-5 hours in the evening/night after their full-day job (for a side-project or hustling for their startup). After a day of work, I feel totally exhausted and can't seem to focus on work. Though I can read (books/articles) and walk/exercise a bit. Weekends too go in haze or watching some Netflix. Any suggestions?

Can't hurt me was so masochistic that after 50% of the book I started thinking why is he doing "that much". It's a good book no doubt. It makes you feel that limits are just in mind. But I've to give it a break after hearing (audible) 66% and will return to it later :)

good stuff mate. A few other functionalities need to be added like embedding videos, tweets, blogpost etc. And don't forget that now you are completing with Google stories (http://googleblog.blogspot.in/2014/05/google-stories-and-mov...) so you need to be Awesome.
Eric might think that college is worth it but the guys who are running those colleges (Deans) think otherwise.

Problems with college is not only HIGH college tuition fees but also number of years wasted in the institution. If you are 'self motivated learner' then you can learn on web. This is especially true for software courses. Other courses like electrical and mechanical engineering might -still- need college education as colleges have requisite infrastructure for those fields.

Howsoever superman you are, you are powerless in front of your wife.. :) I would say that these things are unfortunate and can happen to any startup. Being a founder, you need to take action asap before things starts to go beyond control. Even if some investigation is done into this matter, I don't think anyone will be found guilty as it's a general behavioral/attitude problem and it won't go in matter of days. Let's stop this discrimination (howsoever minor) against women; we need to stand up and speak openly about this. And it's all the more important when a company is getting formed as culture of the company is defined in that stage.
