This is great concept with a strong execution. Interested to see how the price-point resonates relative to typical frequency of use.

This is particularly worrisome because it highlights an entirely new scope to the challenges associated with journalism. Having a deep fake create tons of normal content to then use specific pieces to target a person/agenda will be extremely difficult to deter.

Just gifted it for my mom. Hoping it kick-starts some better habits for her.

Just checked out Newsy and created a site. Great concept and product! Excited to see if I get any traction from it.
markhall | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would you (or family/friends) pay for this service?
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that there are layers of distinction between normal onboarding vs unique. We would strive to play at the 1st and 2nd layer. I'll keep this guidance in mind.
markhall | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would you (or family/friends) pay for this service?
Thanks for the feedback. The alumni partnership piece is a great idea as they may be willing to front the cost.
markhall | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Would you (or family/friends) pay for this service?
Great feedback - thanks for the questions.
-Re: your first question, we are aiming to build a team of broadly-skilled experts with depth. Ultimately we will ensure the coaching experts are well-qualified.
-There will definitely be money-back guarantees. Also, we are considering free trial periods

Yes/No. Here, probably. Elsewhere, no. In China, their facial recognition has got so good that they can track people even with face masks on: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/03/how-china-built-...
markhall | 6 years ago | on: How to Navigate Job Hunting During a Period of Layoffs and Extreme Unemployment
OP here: While I appreciate the feedback and understand parts of it, I think writing general pieces that can help broader audiences still can be valuable. The piece wasn't designed to cover simply today's reality but tomorrow as well.
markhall | 6 years ago | on: How to Navigate Job Hunting During a Period of Layoffs and Extreme Unemployment
OP here: While I do share my articles here often, I think the content can be valuable to folks who recently lost their jobs or are looking for jobs. Regarding point 1, sometimes general advice is still practical. Regarding point 2, not all HN content is tech specific. 3: I included the links to tech companies hiring.

While I understand the frame of thinking, you'll have a difficult time convincing any advocating party that someone making $100K+ is 'exploited'. Multiple examples probably can be found across a number of industries

hilarious... and accurate.

This is such a great point! Experiencing this balancing act right now.

markhall | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Strength News – An HN-inspired website for sport and gym enthusiasts
Love it - good work. For me, this will serve as a nice shift from YT fitness content to more written content. I like the idea of creating community around it, whereas YT or IG is more transient.
markhall | 7 years ago | on: Fake news ‘as a service’ booming among cybercrooks
I've had very similar experiences and find it really frustrating. People inherently don't like being wrong, don't like being proven to be gullible and are less likely to believe information that doesn't reaffirm their beliefs. It's a scary issue that's only likely to get worse.
markhall | 7 years ago | on: Fake news ‘as a service’ booming among cybercrooks
This is a great point. I wonder what studies, if any, has been done on age/tech experience vs susceptibility to believing fake news.
