I was an inner city “gifted kid” - although I’m proud of what I have accomplished so far, I feel like my potential was stifled, as you said mis-handled. I’m very interested in helping inner city gifted kids today unlock their full potential. How could I start?

Does anyone else experience a physical reaction to AI generated art that resembles repulsion and disgust? Something about it just feels “wrong”. Something I can compare it to is the feeling of unexpectedly seeing an extremely moldy thing in your fridge. It feels alive and invasive in an inhuman and horrifying way.

Thanks for sharing, I love this.

Wish they supported Apple Pay.

This is reductive. It may bear some resemblance to cash but it's more like a voucher, and the actual value is transferred on an immutable ledger. Wish Hacker News wasn't so curmudgeonly about crypto and actually tried to imagine the multitude of ways it would improve society if adopted.

I remember when I tried Clubhouse. I joined some room that was recommended to me, endured about 5 minutes of Naval enjoying the sound of his own voice, then deleted the app forever.

I did this. Started a drop shipping business with friends. That didn’t pan out. Then tried to build a startup. That didn’t pan out either, so I started consulting. It was fine, but consulting and full time employment are really two sides of the same coin. I figured I might as well get the benefits and equity that come with full time roles. Since quitting I have more than doubled my previous salary, and gained a ton of front end knowledge I never would have learned just by working at my old job.
