Re:FB’s Policy on Enforcing Against Manipulated Media

>>Collaboration is key. Across the world, we’ve been driving conversations with more than 50 global experts with technical, policy, media, legal, civic and academic backgrounds to inform our policy development and improve the science of detecting manipulated media.
I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, of course collaboration is important. On the other Fb has near unlimited resources yet feels like they can shift the burden to other entities who in no way benefit from the problems their hugely profitable business creates.

Been geeking out about ZIP code data at https://incomedata.org . I never realized how cool ZIP code data is, just how important the census is, or how much fun working with geo data is.

I realized I was always looking for the best pen and I was geeking out about writing instruments so I started a website about pens: https://unsharpen.com/. There is some light programming, but it's mostly data entry.

Honest question: Does it really matter if he loses the chairman role? Or even if he lost the CEO role? If he was busted down to VP of Engineering he would still be a major shareholder and everyone would did what he said right? He just wouldn't have any "official" corporate leader responsibilities (quarterly calls, etc). Or am I totally wrong?

Who is this by/for? It says "We’re a community of people trying to build our side projects over the month of May." but there is no talk about who we is. I'm not suspicious or anything, just curious!

Sounds like you are off to an incredible start, so why not just run with it and see how far you go? Without VC pressure to get HUGE super quickly you could have a great business on your hands. So if you simply need funding for cash flow or to support yourselves, then try friends and family. You might be surprised how much people are ready to take a chance on your idea.
If you have some degree of product-market fit, then an accelerator likely won't be a great use of time.
