I'm curious as to what else you've found helps increase sign ups. Do you have the results published anywhere?

Exactly, I feel the same way about Joe Rogan. Maybe it's because people see themselves in these two?

Hmm, I don't see it. It looks a little enterprise-y, but otherwise good IMO. What are some examples of peak social media design to you?

Can anyone explain why they'd be a LinkedIn data partner yet did this to compete with LinkedIn?

Go to their site and paste this in your console: window._linkedin_data_partner_id

I find it strange that they'd tarnish their reputation to try and compete with LinkedIn, but they seem to be a LinkedIn data partner? (not sure exactly what that entails).

Open your console on their site and paste this in:

window._linkedin_data_partner_id

Is there something else at play here?

treated me like garbage when invited to demo my tech

Do tell this story.

That bit made no sense to me.

I think the opposite is true; when given no concrete feedback, one begins to hypothesize why they were rejected, and their mind will often point them to discrimination as the reason.

If one is given clear, concrete feedback ("We rejected you because you didn't come up with a simpler algorithm, and you lack experience with framework x"), there is little room for them to think they were discriminated against in any way but their skills/experience.

"Creativity is bad for UI design"

Way to misdiagnose. It's wholly possible to have a UI that is both creative and easy to use.

Most of the bad UIs and UXs I've seen have been the result of a lack of critical thinking and/or user empathy.

Wow, this sounds insane. Do you mind sharing the backstory?

I'd love to read a blog post/book explaining this in more detail.

I'm also interested in hearing more about the 'happiness switch', and how you trained yourself in your 20s to work for 12~16 hours a day.

I also love playing psychological games, with the goal of breaking down their "I must project an image of a perfect human being" armor.

Go into more detail. What questions/techniques do you typically reach for to do this?

I'm curious as to what web-app you're building with it. Is it available to use?

I'm curious as to what your pet project is/if it's available to online to play with.

Would you mind naming/giving a range of the acquisition price?

I'm curious of the effectiveness of this model. Do you have any metrics on how many users have paid?

Do you mind naming these startups?

Blame 300 the movie

The myth that you need tons and tons of water has actually led to over-hydration

Absolutely false. Do you have any evidence for that statement?

"water intake mode" The body is not known to have such a mode unless you are referring to literally having your mouth open while you pour water into it.

I suppose next you will tell me that constantly breathing is harmful because it means that the body never gets rest from air intake mode.

To say that risk capacity is the "real" source of inequality is simply incorrect.

There are plenty of people at or below poverty level who have little/no aversion to risk - it's just that the high-stakes gambles accessible to them are of a different nature than those accessible to a person of middle/upper class.

Risks with high rewards associated with impoverished people:

  - Theft/robbery

  - Scams/fraud

  - Selling drugs/other illicit items

  - Investing (stocks, crypto)

  - Quitting your job to start a business

I've been looking a collection like this, but for startups/sites/internet companies.

Something that would have Facebook's[0] and Snapchat's[1] source code.

Or even something that would have Staffjoy's[2](a startup that shut down then open sourced their source code).

[0] -> https://gist.github.com/nikcub/3833406

[1] -> https://github.com/JonnyBanana/Snapchat-Source-Code-Leak

[2] -> https://github.com/Staffjoy/v2

This tweet[0]. People then made endless parodies of it.
