I know .. and I hope it's a bug .. i really loved the hotkey trigger to chat and take screenshots etc. surprised it's not a big thing ..

maybe the next siri is coming for that and they are just planning ahead?

Hence my response: > Aliases are fair game .. for organization for just hiding your own email to limit tracking.. that's fair .. but bad, known disposable email generally just costs too much and is too risky for businesses.

Aliases are fair game .. for organization for just hiding your own email to limit tracking.. that's fair .. but bad, known disposable email generally just costs too much and is too risky for businesses.

IDK man .. many services really just don't even want to deal with a sign up they are never going to reach. By using a disposable email, you're telling the business, I want to use your service, get value, but I don't really want you to reach me. To them, it sounds like a loss loss situation. Business are there to make money, and they offer a signup/trial/free account so they can give you access in exchange for being able to reach you.

But I do sympathize with the stupidity of marketing email madness.

Rupt started as an account sharing prevention project. Customers kept telling us we need this feature, we need that feature and we kept adding them.

Turns out they were asking for a trust and safety platform. One platform to handle the intelligence, the rules engine, and the enforcement in one place.

Introducing Rupt3 the platform to tell you which users and actions to trust and which ones not to. With an AI agent that monitors the rules 24/7!

I'd love feedback from people who want to enforce policies against abuse and fraud. Thank you!

are you using it to write code? $20/mo was never enough and I'm not even full time on coding .. yeah different models are worth experimenting .. but I'm okay with paying higher for the best model .. just need predictability and stability of pricing, which Claude doesn't give, and yet we still use and pay for .. because it's such a good product.

I'm only entered T&S space recently (compared to you), but since I entered it, it was never separated from security. It was mostly product security and user trust and safety as one function. I suspect they will also need shared tools, which is why I built my current product.

When you build something people REALLY want, you can pull of ridiculous stunts like Claude's pricing: - Vague limits - Weekly/monthly usage stats ?? - 50% of your usage on Fable 5 - $200/mo subscription that doesn't include Fable 5 - But you can use it with "usage credits"

Falling (life mistakes) used to break me. Now they don't. An article about how I handle them now.

The company was started by Stripe's CTO, raised ~$50M seed round less than 2 years ago launched dreamer a month or so ago and now acquired by Meta.

That's a good guess .. but I bet they are also paying price for this in support costs .. I'd be curious what percentage of their support tickets are related to this (also the require you to cancel subscription, create a new account, create a new subscription if you want to change a pro account)

You cannot change your google email itself .. because there's no other reference to identify you with them. But you can use your email as the "inbox" for all other services. OpenAI doesn't have an "inbox" .. they accept other "inboxes" so they should allow you to change it.

According to Gemini, it's because OpenAI uses the email as the unique identifier of the user. But if that were the case, it's probably an week's project for a single engineer at most. I thought there was a better reason for this like some security measure for such a fast growing company, it never occurred to me that the reason could be so simple

We send & receive a lot of emails internally. One of the first things we have to do in every project is build sending & receiving emails. So this is open source and reusable so that every new project can use it.

Please try it out, give feedback and contribute.

Next: - Templated emails (AWS only) - Simple editor (God knows we had to do it more than a few times) & AWS sucks at it.

This is really novel. I like it. I've never gone this far. I just lump everything together. I've used tear-able notebooks before for the reason of moving them around but never stopped to consciously think about it the way you did.

I noticed you didn't say anything about digital writing, about half of my writings are in digital format. I do try to write the full idea that comes to mind before ending my writing session.

While $10K was a rough number, the same can be said about $20K .. it "should be", "relatively easier" to get to that solo .. the point is should you aim for that, or aim for much bigger .. which will mak you realistically hit that goal .. and my perspective had been that aiming big, while starting small (smallest complete unit to get you to a reasonable income). What you do after is another story.

Ah .. I thought about this, but I've found that most people who have hit "financial freedom" generally tend to lose momentum and lose drive .. fewer of those actually end up building something bigger .. just a personal observation .. although honestly it seems compelling .. but unsure how it will affect me / my friend specifically

This resonates .. intentionally going small may not be the same effort per se .. but because it's harder to raise money or you raise at like 50% dilution .. you're tight for budget .. all this adds up to be the same amount of work for the first few years .. this is actually a helpful perspective.

This resonates .. I built top selling Mobile Apps in 2013-2015 and very quickly after making it to the top copycats came from all over and revenue dwindled.

You don't need to be waiting tho .. the question is whether to deliberately go after big ideas .. Marc Randolph, founder of Netflix, specifically went after Netflix as an idea to be really big and make him a lot of money .. So did @pg with ViaWeb

I think this is mistaken, there are ideas that obviously have the potential to be big .. and ones that have hidden potential to be big. Some people's entire jobs is to find a track them (whole VC industry). But yea, it's not easy.. it's tricky.
