What information do retail investors have access to now that they didn't say 3 years ago?

Have you used this service? What are your thoughts on more consistent chat rather than email

Good question! Right now you can't choose your own coach and all coaches have experience in helping others be their best self/accountable (primarily have worked with employees in high tech industry)

Never seen before, very cool! Yeah similar but we do think calling & real time has made an insane difference vs async

I used to do this too. Then I realized this only works if you actually sleep 7.5 hours and it takes average human 14 minutes to fall asleep. I.e. I’d set an alarm 7:30 from when I go to bed but then still felt tired - doing 8 hours felt better with 7hrs45ish the sweet spot. Hence I can see why people just recommend 8 because normal people don’t try to optimize to the minute and better to slightly over estimate rather than definitely underestimate

So if I’m understanding correctly, do you end up doing a full 24 hour rotation every 8 days? Very interesting - how do you plan your week?

Hi HN! My friends and I are constantly sharing our stock portfolios, returns, and trades. Similar to Open Startups sharing revenue, we thought we would create a place where you can safely view verified returns from both strangers and more traditional famous investors. You can also follow investors you like to get regular updates from them.

Right now we verify manually through screenshots and email, but will be adding in a Robinhood integration to make it more seamless and continuous.

We built this using Airtable and Pory.io as a wrapper, and WhaleWisdom for data on more traditional investors #noCodeRules

"Just like we sometimes buy pottery b/c it is handmade, will we will one day prefer writing that is also “human made”?"

I wonder what the role of cryptography will be to manage authenticity moving forward. Or if the prompts and seeded data become the "true creative art form"

GPT3 may be showing how "shallow" our human writing is, but I do think the real value of writing is to get someone else to do something (ex. writing a company memo to rally and encourage going after an opportunity). It doesn't seem far to when a human just provides intent and the AI may generate writing to best convince people to follow it. The real scary (or at least paradigm shifting) part will be, as you mentioned, when intent is no longer ours

1) If I was just trying to make money - some market manipulation experiment (most likely just Elon Musk since TSLA would be easier to hide activity)

2) Donation matching similar to this hack, but posting a collection of nonprofits around the world

3) Wanted to create chaos - some anti-China, anti-Trump, or anti-cancel culture tweet by popular figures

4) A message of unity - "Stand with humanity" or something with everyone simultaneously posting.

Hello HN!

I was working on a project that required me to scrape/integrate with several different job boards and freelance gig sites. After a couple of additional conversations, I realized this was something that a lot of places have to do (ex. personal projects, bootcamps, labor marketplaces, job boards, staffing agencies) and so spun it out as its own service with the first few customers and wanted to share with HN in case you were interested in this as well. Right now we're integrated with several sites (ex. Craigslist, Indeed, Upwork, etc.) and are adding more integrations every day :)

Would love to get you set up if interested!

Yeah $X for Y% for one year, it's a very small amount.

How does one go get working capital loans?

Have you ever looked into anything to outsource the tech support?

Wouldn't a counter argument be that the MOST successful people do not do what others do and define their own path. I.e. it's great if you're optimizing a game for a particular outcome but if you're creating a new game following what other people do may just leave to the average (of whatever group)?

Did it ever feel "big brothery" for your team that was on it? Or did it not matter b/c you were being paid hourly

Nice, what did you not love about jira/asana that caused you to build your own?

That's pretty cool, I've tried to do this manually just for personal productivity.

What type of industry/role were you in that you had to keep such diligent track of what people were working on? For freelancing/agency work that makes a lot of sense!

I love podcasts and take a lot of notes on them, but my friends/family just want the most interesting snippets of them because (1) they don't have the time to listen to all and (2) there are TOO many podcast episodes.

So I've built an app that curates ~10 minute snippets - not unlike a Pandora for podcast bites.

Curious what it sounds like? Here's an example - https://soundcloud.com/user-857781619/curatedpodcast-coronav...

Would love to hear thoughts on how I can make this better!

My friends and I love podcasts and are WFH - so we're doing virtual book clubs but for podcasts!

We're experimenting with formats but right now are doing theme based podcasts - i.e. one person chooses a theme (ex. "COVID-19") and selects 1-3 podcasts, everyone listens to them, and then we do a virtual discussion over pure audio-Zoom. We also have slack channels for those that just want to discuss it asynchronously.

Would love to get some people from HN on board as well :) Feel free to comment themes/ideas/podcasts you think are interesting and would want to discuss.

Yes will do!

Right now no, it's just a small group of friends (and hopefully future HN users like you :)).

I'm assuming since all podcasts are public and free it would be okay (i.e. I'm getting it from ListenNotes). It's a good point that I should include links to the podcasts in the description so people can go directly.

What do you think I could include in the audio to help with giving credits to the podcast authors?
