Oh, yeah, I agree that tact is simply a form of dishonesty. I just don't really care if I am wrong or right, and I project that on to others. Since they don't care if they are right, they won't mind me calmly telling them all the reasons they are wrong. If they get upset at that when defending their position then my instinct is to assume they are irrational. But what my friends taught me is that passionate arguments, like most instincts can be used as a shortcut to bypass work. So becoming impassioned as I tell them all the reasons they are wrong, can help my argument.

Irrespective of what you think of Levels, he's shown me that it's a case of keep trying. He has 215k followers, has tried 70 different things, and only done well with 4 of them [1].

I'm in the same boat - I've tried many things, and most have failed. I currently have a side project with 1k users making no money, and I'm going to try monetise it - but I expect it to most likely fail. And I'm okay with it.

There's joy in being creative, making, growing, marketing, trying, learning. I can't remember where I read it, but once a founder makes their money, they often get lost in life. The common advice is then: "now do it again but this time enjoy the journey".

> They make it seem like building a successful startup is easy [...] [but] It's fucking hard and it takes more than just a positive attitude to make it.

Welcome to startups! Another great quote I read was "Bam! Overnight success story! It only took 7.5 years" [2].

Yeah, I see RSS and newsletters as largely equivalent technologies. The have minor technical differences but 99% of the read differences are social.

Pro Feeds:

1. Once you subscribe the publisher has no way to contact you. Email relies on the publisher being honest.

2. Provides some history (or full history with archiving/pagination atom extensions)

Pro Newsletter:

3. Push based system by default (Feeds can use WebSub but it isn't that common).

4. ~everyone already has it set up.

At the end of the day they both transmit blobs of HTML to you with some minimal metadata.
After almost a year with the Steam Deck I've finally been converted
"Facilitate" can have a very useful and precise meaning when used to describe someone who is running a meeting of some sort and their role is to keep it on track, making sure it progresses in a timely manner and sticks to the agenda. That said, "run" also works for that meaning, it's just a little less precise.

When it's used in a vaguer way then that I tend to agree with you.
So they have open doors to be wildly successful entrepreneurs?

My point is that the OPs “model” is a strategy for a limited population and not very generalizable. Within those caveats, I have no issue with their suggestion.

My view, from the U.S., is that most founders want to make it on their own and keep the returns close to the vest (aka "low taxes).

The risks are too high to found a company for little payoff.... and most founders that exit already pay a significant tax on exits (even when they are structured to reduce tax). Entrepreneurship is too hard of a game to put up with the mental and work grinding for a decade for small returns. Everyone focuses on the "money" a founder may make (with heavy survivorship bias) - but don't focus on the high probability of losing years, or a decade, of lost revenue and social life if a company fails.

HN is filled with want-trapreneurs who are mis-guided about the game they're entering.
The problem with Nordic model is that they are too successful in taking care of the people.

Officially it’s $1.64 Trillion in 2022 on defense vs ~23.4 Trillion GDP or 7% GDP. https://www.usaspending.gov/agency/department-of-defense?fy=... You can see different numbers based on if you include stuff like the DoE spending on nuclear weapon ‘stewardship’ or only parts of the coast guard, national guard, VA etc.

US healthcare spending hardly subsidizes the rest of the world. Paperwork and insurance overhead don’t magically turn into R&D money. Litigation, malpractice insurance, excessive testing etc is just waste.

At best ~12% of US healthcare spending is for retail drugs, but it’s not that relevant globally when you consider how much US companies are spending on advertising vs R&D. Which is then compounded by how much more expensive US drug trials are.

You can generalize this: if you have to implement the UI element because it's not there by default (like a slider), it's probably worthwhile to investigate why.

I follow USA news a bit and nothing comes to my mind right now that could be considered far left around here. But of course I don't follow every political debate in USA, so I'm sure I'm missing some dividing issue... Do you have an example of something that could be considered far left in Europe, perhaps?

Right. RSS still has some value today.

But it had far more value in a world with a lot of individual blogs, many of which were only updated occasionally, and without other reliable discovery mechanisms for those blogs--other than going to a site every few weeks to see if there was something new.

According to you. If you don't like it, your gripe is with KS, not Sanderson. And it's pretty common for things to launch their v2, v3 etc on KS even if strictly not needed. It's a hype channel, not an investment channel.

> In Sanderson's case it's just a pre-order where you milk your fans for some extra bucks.

Why so loaded language? It's not milking, it's fan service. People specifically want these extra things. Hence the success of the KS.....

It does link directly to the Plain English examples on "government jargon". These are mostly written in legalese.

Make sure you are paid and bonused properly regardless of any future exit, because most startups never get there. In CTO role you should get something at the exit too, because you are likely to be instrumental in that success. Because companies often pivot or your part of the company changes outside of your control, you should have both.
I Feel You
As a business owner myself I understand how hard it can be first hand. But if there’s one thing I can tell you is that very rarely is someone’s startup successful the first or even first couple times they try. If that was the case everyone would have a business. It’s all about learning from the mistakes and reasons your business/idea failed. My father has been an entrepreneur his whole life and he had a couple successful businesses throughout his career but his first truly successful business wasn’t until his 6 or 7th business (I lost count on how many he has made) over the course of 20 years. In order to be a successful entrepreneur you have to accept failure and even be ok with failing if it means you are learning something and use it as a tool to improve your future businesses. A quick note about digital influencers, learning from mentors and people who have done what you want to do is very important you just want to make sure they have actually accomplished what they say and walk the talk they are speaking. Lastly, sure it is not for everyone but if you are truly passionate about being an entrepreneur than all I can say is don’t give up and keep trying, all it takes is one success.
Honestly I’m probably more inclined to land on the same side as you regarding this particular case regarding the suggestion or assumption of privilege. That being said, no, you’re being ridiculous. There was no attacking or bullying.
In simplest terms, do you want to remember to visit 20 different sites each day or just remember to visit your RSS reader which aggregates all those sites?
The US has 18 large cities with a higher homicide rate than Guatemala. 50 with more than half of Guatemala's. The difference between the two countries from a violence perspective hardly constitutes "fleeing."

Edit: country level is 6.5 for the US vs 17.5 for Guatemala, which is also not a difference consistent with war vs peace. But since "refugees" end up mostly in cities, and hundreds of thousands end up in the very same cities that are more violent than Guatemala, the city data is perfectly sufficient to show they aren't all fleeing violence.

Edit 2: I would continue this discussion, but somehow my original reply to you got flagged and my commenting privileges suspended, even though I had net three upvotes at the time.

It's probably for the better, I shouldn't even be bothering with someone who complains that I "cherry pick" 50 city homicide data and then replies to me with El Paso.

It certainly shows how strong your facts are (i.e. "the data is wrong") that you get me suspended instead of engaging them.
No doubt, I’m just acknowledging the limitations of the OPs advice. It came across as a bit of a solipsistic perspective.
Newsblur has this feature although I don't think it's used much.
What I'd learned from almost 15 years running a "startup" hitting multi-million revenue years for the last 6 of the life of the company, is that there is a preternatural bias against you (not personally, but your small company) for business and academic customers. For individuals, I'd imagine its worse.

This bias makes it very hard to achieve escape velocity, never mind low earth orbit. Even when you show multiple million dollar revenues and good margins, investors will demand more before they commit. Customers will demand you jump through more hoops. And will seek to impose fairly crazy T&C on you.

All while you have a team you are trying to care for, a business you are trying to grow.

It f***g sucks. It is as bad for your mental health as STEM graduate school. I'm 5 years out of my business, which was shot in the head behind the barn by our bank.

I am still not fully recovered from that experience.

The comments in this thread about success is really luck in disguise? Yeah, they are spot on. Vanishingly few entrepreneurs really force their way to success. Most are there at the right time and place, with a product that does 80% of what the customer needs. And the customer need is the driving factor.

Note that the same is true of VCs. Who are, as a collection, mostly dumb money. There are a minute fraction who have any real value.

The point of all of this is, no one has your back but you. So take care of yourself. If something isn't working and you feel yourself slipping down a slope, get out. Your health, mental and physical, is simply not worth it.
Yes, some kind of asynchronous personal agent is a great idea. It is the ultimate anti-social media, your very own "super app" that handles your digital life for you.

Isn’t the meeting role called a „moderator”, or even „chair”?
There's a flip side to this argument in that more failing endeavors would be allowed to exist for longer, thus draining productive resources from more worthy endeavors.
I own and run a lifestyle business of 5 people. I don’t want it to be any larger. My biggest fear - losing key staff due to lack of career growth.

That’s a great analogy. It feels to me like we’re consuming so much “zero to plushy” content these days, and in very parasocial ways. Podcasts, talk shows, documentaries, YouTubers. We’re told over and over implicitly or explicitly that we can be successful like them.

The reality is, statistically most people will die in obscurity, and at some point we need to come to terms with that.

I know I’m just describing survivorship bias and we all know this already, but it feels especially prevalent in the last few years.
To each his own. I'd rank Starbucks at the bottom, and I've never heard different in any country outside the US. I've also noticed that their foreign shops are strictly in American tourist traps, which seems like a very good strategy for expanding into countries that generally frown on their coffee, and their atmosphere.
This is a million dollar comment - there is a lot in here that is right and is quite literally an insight on the path to creating millions of dollars of value.

- It is about building solid product and distribution at this stage, other stuff can wait

- If you can self-fund customer discoveries (essentially get people to pay you while teaching you about the market) you are 80% of the way there

- If you have nothing else, business skills plus an enormous amount of elbow grease will go a long way

That's my own personal lens on it anyway
If you paste https://www.nytimes.com/ into your feed reader it will likely discover https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml automatically. This tends to work very well for most blogs and many sites. I often just assume that there is a feed available and past article URLs into my feed reader, most of the time the feed is automatically discovered.

Back in the day browsers had icons that would light up when a feed was available, however all of the most popular browsers have removed this feature. You can add it back with an extension easily if you are so inclined.
C has the unique distinction of being criticized on the one hand for the complexities of vendor-specific extensions and portability concerns... and on the other for being insufficiently like Rust or Go, which are defined entirely by their proprietary implementations.

I don't think I've ever seen this criticism leveled elsewhere. Do people criticize JavaScript programming because the ECMAScript standard doesn't give you everything you could want?
I have security experience mainly in big companies, but this is the approach that I will take: start to prioritize the needs.
I suggest to use a threat model methodology (STRIDE or PASTA are fine) to understand what are the main assets and the risks and start protecting them.
When you have identified the key assets and the risks related to them, you can start thinking about security controls (not only technical, also from an organization perspective) to reduce them or accept them in agreement with the management and stakeholders.

Starting from scratch can be difficult, because you need to setup processes and policy, maybe you can ask help for a consultant company in the first steps.

The world is against you. People really don't like to accept the reality that most businesses and startups will fail, they like to think they will be the exception because they are willing to work hard.

It's not enough to just work hard. You have to be lucky, and the smarter and more ruthless you are the luckier you will tend to be.

What you have described is pretty much what you should expect to happen for the vast majority of startups. No one cars about you in any sustainable, repeatable way. There's always something new and more important coming up.

Fuck startups. You want money? Just work in tech. Get a remote job, maybe two. You'll make more money than you will by trying to juggle the million different responsibilities you'll have bootstrapping a startup, half of which you probably don't really even care about doing. And you will end up working less and living, truly living, more.

You want fame and to touch the lives of millions? Just be some kind of influencer, that's all people really follow these days. Make content.

You want to change the world? Forget about it, the world will change with or without you. Trying to change the world the way you think it should be is just a thinly veiled lust for power. A selfish goal.

If you still want to have your own business, first figure out the existing businesses in the industry and find where you can close a gap to add value. This is going to take real insight, and skill, not some tweets or votes on "Product Hunt". You will have to work in the industry. Don't bother with the shiny world of mass consumer tech, it's garbage. A digital version of selling C.R.A.P. on Amazon FBA. Better to find something where you can sell a very expensive product or service to businesses that most people don't even know about. Example: We offer services where we audit tech code bases for clients who are acquiring tech companies. You've never heard of us, we sound boring (audits?!), and if we posted our business on Product Hunt no one would give a fuck. And yet we gross nearly $1.2 million a year in fees doing this, and it's not even our full time jobs. We beat out the shitty little failed startups with good graphics and social media footprints and enthusiastic CEOs. Yet the only thing people will find interesting about us is that we make some money.

So just give up, startups don't work if you force it. The more you have to try the more likely you will have to fail so you can get your life back.

Public charge rules mean immigration to the US takes privilege.
When people see "luck" they often miss "set up to capitalize on getting lucky." That is the component of skill (and background) in most entrepreneurial success stores. Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and most other mega-entrepreneurs were very good at exploiting their lucky circumstances. People who don't notice this think it's all luck because they wouldn't be where they were without the luck - they notice that the luck was necessary. They don't notice that the luck wasn't sufficient. Lottery winners are a great example of the insufficiency of luck to create wealth.

This caused some hilarity in a training class the other week. The class had a section for how you could load a VM directly on the switch and wanted to demo doing packet captures then you’d move to the next module. Easy enough except the guide said to run “apt install wireshark 1.2.3” where 1.2.3 was whatever actual version that got installed when the training material was written. This matched about 10G of packages to be downloaded. Now because it’s a perfectly valid package selection and includes wireshark it works it just takes forever so the first person does it and manages to get through it in under an hour but as more start reaching that point the poor internet connection is getting slower and slower until someone notices and asks “do we really want to install all these packages or just wireshark?”.
I don't think OP was referring to any social features beyond what RSS specified:

> In retrospect, it was the least toxic social network. You added your friends, their recommendations bubbled up in the interface, so you saw cool new stuff.

This is just "subscribe to people's blogs". That's still the ideal social media for me.
In my local school district:

- less than half of 11th graders meet or exceed the state standard for math

- almost 90% of high schoolers graduate
