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)
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
It can be hard, TBH - I actively minimize distractions anyhow, but this is on a different level. It's probably not for everyone.
That all said, statistically I'm much more likely to be awake than not during the day, so many folks would have no idea. Usually there's only one day a week where I'm essentially going to sleep right when everyone else is starting their day.
I'm lucky that my daily shift is 3h - two REM cycles - as it maps nicely onto the 24h schedule everyone else is on, most of the time. 1.5h or 4.5h would be really confusing to me.
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
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 :)
Super curious about this. There must be some way that the loaner knows what to expect for the next year. If that's true is the loaner paying based on your expected revenue with the upside being that you might grow further?
From my experience with PayPal Working Capital, you get loaned $X based on a percentage of your expected annual sales, and must pay back Y% up to a maximum of $Z.
There's no additional upside for PayPal beyond the lofty rates they charge for the service.
The fee is also "fixed" and is based on an APR calculated at the time of application. You never accrue interest.
