With OpenClaw and powerful local models like Kimi 2.5, these specs make a lot of sense.

Pay for Social and Google Ads for a week, then hire cheap SEOs fro Fiverr and ask them for tips. That should give you an extra month or two.

You have many options. Joining another startup seems like an easy fix. If you want to go corporate why not join a bootcamp to level up your skills. General Assembly has a good product management program.

Everybody fails at many things multiple times in their lives. Just try to manage failure gracefully and get things in order before trying again.

Welcome to the NFL. Don't sweat people who do it wrong, just keep looking for those who do it right. Those are the absolute minority.

America is a victim of its own success. The market is so primed with sales, management and arbitrage opportunities that young minds are hard pressed to take on those roles instead of building. Notable exceptions are high tech enterprises, where proven paths to scale are commonplace and provide attractive returns for many.

The typical builder class is better off importing, subcontracting or outsourcing key value add operations. This creates several vacumms: local talent, cheap infrastructure (since decreased consumers increase prices) and, finally, weaker supplier networks.

Over time, these loops combine and grow, making it harder and harder for companies to compete. Incumbents exit the market unless governments step in and provide incentives that either offset externalities or reduce operations costs for corporations. As an example please check this article about the Mac Pro production in America: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/23/tech/apple-mac-pro-united-sta...

Arguably, the quality of search engine results is somewhat subjective. Comparatively speaking, Google serves better results than its competitors. However, it's been widely known for some time that relevance goes down as the number of keywords increases.

It's not a good city for most. It's expensive, crowded, busy and difficult to live in. If you get a good job in the city and want to try it, sure, give it a shot. But most visitors end up moving elsewhere.

Found a Twitter rumour about this - we'll see https://twitter.com/Dagnum_PI/status/1538522021906325504

Wow. What will happen next?

Respectfully, I think you are an idiot. Let me explain: I've provided a single example when mentioning Livepeer below (it provides video streaming at a 95% discount). However, you chose to look over it, plus dismiss the entire trillion dollar crypto industry because you should be served the single example or answer that saves you from thinking or doing your own research. Essentially, the behavior of an idiot.

Bitcoin provides millions with a free bank account. That is the single best example of the value Web 3 provides. But you choose to avoid it. You also chose to overlook the Livepeer example, and even the entire Coinmarketcap list.

I think you should just continue looking the other way, because you just don't understand what's happening. No problem, in a decade you will.

Head to coinmarketcap for hundreds of disruptive web3 examples. To answer your question go to https://livepeer.com and look at a decentralized live streaming platform that provide savings today.

Also look up IPFS here https://ipfs.io - that will disrupt Amazon S3 among other services.

There seems to be a huge disconnect in this community about Web3. Every day, billion dollar startups are reaching new milestones in Web3.

Tokenization and ownership are huge. Ecosystems like Stacks (https://www.stacks.co/explore/discover-apps) have hundreds of Web3 apps already running and providing value.

The value provided by Web3 is simple: now you can program property and ownership on the web.

This changes banking, finance, publishing, social media, etc. It's a huge change because users can take their data across platforms and avoid lock in. Imagine a single social profile that works across platforms (one single profile for Facebook, Twitter, Insta, etc). The possibilities are endless.

I suggest you keep digging in and make up your own mind. Don't let dismissive one liners dissuade you from learning.

Disclosure: I'm a founder of Web3 protocol called Bitfari.

We are building an app for that, it's called Bitfari. It pays people to disclose preferences and customizes city ads as they go about their day. It also blocks ads the majority of people don't want to see and routes them to different locations, so that public ad space is better allocated. The service has integrated over 200K screens globally and its currently valued at 25M+. You can learn more about it here https://bitfari.org/whitepaper/

This guy should face consequences. He has a million subscribers. Wow.

Inflation, cost of living. Families, social comparison. America life is built like a never ending hamster wheel.

May he rest in peace. Sometimes is best to realize we are not in a position to judge.

Yep. Looks like somebody in the QA deparment has some explaining to do.

This will stop happening once adopted as reserve currency of major economies.

There is something called UML -- this is a dying though There was something called Rational Rose -- maybe it still exists somehow

Today we use wireframes and Adobe XD mock up as most of the products are mobile/web-based.

The formal specification of software practice started to fade when product managers came into the software development lifecycle. Back in the day, technical managers and information architecs would make detailed specs detailing everything about an upcoming platform. Only to see have of it be change by a manager/business stakeholder.

Today the push is for speed and cost reduction - fail fast and break things. It's really not as bad as it sounds but way worst.

I love it 1000%. Need to create videos for a new crypto. This helps translate the videos to 10 different languages and kick off a global service. It's not perfect but it's fast and looks very professional.

You need to establish channels of enjoyment for your life. Sports, meditation, religion, intimate relationships, vacations, hobbies, etc. Startup life is hard and sucks most of the time for a long time. It gets easier with good people around you and money in the bank, but it's never a walk in the park.

Become resilient by building layers of enjoyment. When problems come, use these layers to dissipate pain. Hope this helps.

So Gumroad is dead???

It's the best one in the space. It solves the scalability problem which is crypto's larger shortcoming. Very revolutionary. The team is a very focused group of coders. No games here. I'm very bullish on Matic as well.

Disclosure: I'm building a cryptoDAO in a competing ecosystem (Stacks)

But Bitpay and others provide instant settlement and manage the volatility on their side. Merchants don't have to risk anything.

It breaks my heart how few people in HN appreciate/understand BTC. This technology is creating a new monetary system + Internet for human kind.

What would it take to get you to read the bitcoin white paper and comprehend that bitcoin was not created as an investment vehicle but as an electronic cash system. So Wall Street is speculation on bitcoin. What did you expect?

Bitcoin is as useful at $100 dollars as it is at $1 million. Why then are we fixated on price when this technology can change millions of lives? Let's talk about the many awesome things we can do by coding trust into a decentralized Internet. Price is just a footnote.

SauceLabs, TestNG, etc

Buy a Canon M50 and use it as a web cam. You can use this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eISFCeuiCik

What we need in high technology is a website to manifest our needs and let companies know about underserved use cases. Yes, it's pathetic that Logitech and Apple don't have compelling products in this field but, sadly, it is what it is.

No. In many respects things are objectively worst. The problem is that technology's ecological impact is not being measured. Mainly, because societal changes ocurring after technological advances are unpredictable but also because technology moves faster than social science.

The state of the art is to revert to previous tech or invent new solutions when social damage has become clear. Sadly, some times this is not possible and we are left with open problems bigger than the initial ones we encountered. Consider for example climate change, the birth of the precariat social class, declining birth rates, etc.

Technology can be good but it has to be created, nurtured and regulated to such a purpose.
