1/ what do you feel like you've learned or gained from this?
2/ do you ever go back and study what you wrote or is it more about giving your thoughts clarity today?
1/ For me it's similar to meditation in terms of the appeal. It's a way to slow down and think, not necessarily for measurable gain but to be a bit more present in the flow of things. I've learned a lot about myself as I do a lot of introspection when writing.
2/ Yes, a major feature I'd like to build is a retrospective flow as I've developed a pretty nice system for going back and pulling out "nuggets" from past entries. Seeing your own thoughts after some time, as a stranger is a really useful tool to understand how your mind works.
Not OP, but have been journaling for the past 7 years with some pauses in between.
The greatest tools for me are:
1. When I'm feeling as if I'm stuck I go back sometime (like a week) and confirm that I've indeed progressed.
2. My recollection of events is better just because I'm logging them. If I really want to confirm something I can go back and check. This is specially helpful in day to day issue resolution with my wife, which has been an important topic for us.
3. Sometimes I go back a year or more to just have some memories. It helps me to feel human because I had big troubles with long term memory.
I've been journaling for 20 years and often I open old files to talk to the younger me. It's remarkable how you change over the years, a feeling that, AFAIK, any other medium achieves (maybe video/audio recordings, but text is way simpler to register, storage, and retrieve).
It's one of the things I'm most grateful of doing for so long.
I'm not the OP, but for #2, it's almost all about the latter. Occasionally I go check on random or specific days.
What have I learned or gained? It definitely helps ground me in the flow of time. It's so easy to lose weeks or months or years if you're never reflecting. Journaling helps me be more aware day to day.
1. markets = s&p -15% by q2, crypto -40%, fed funds rate >=5%, energy best perf. sector
2. Ukraine war continues
3. Layoffs continue
4. Sbf goes to jail, SEC prosecutes 20+ high profile names
5. Twitter new CEO will be a VC
6. Large bipartisan push to get TikTok banned
7. AI: best hits will impress and change our lives for the better, >3B acq. of “unknown” ai company by F500 driven by FOMO, AI content floods the web, many societal issues raised
8. China will not attack Taiwan, GDP contracts
9. Zuck takes reality labs private, META +50%
10. Socio-economic unrest in Pakistan, China, UK, Africa
11. Step fxn biotech breakthrough: mRNA vaccine for X or crispr
12. Gaming: Riot continues to do well, MSFT/Blizz deal closes
to add to your point:
1/ tech stack/architecture isn't #1 or even #10 issue. think everyone (all) agree on this
2/ larger issue is how to handle open discourse. given how we are wired as species, is there a social network that is truly open that doesn't descend into vitriol? if so - what behaviors are rewarded, what are the policies etc. - this is #1 question
- Process: interview-> take home problem -> tech screen if applicable -> google hangouts behavioral -> offer (we will move quickly and will do our best to not waste your time)
- Visa: will sponsor
- Timezone: looking for at least 3-4hr overlap with PST timezone (rest is up to you); some roles may require more - depending on product
Melon is a simple way to create professional live streams with ease directly from your browser. Reliable, lighting fast, and packed with unique features to help you customize your show.
We built Melon to democratize live-streaming. Individual entrepreneur/creator is the future and we'd like to play a small part in supporting this movement.
With melon you can:1) host a private peer to peer call (like zoom); 2) invite guests with ease; 3) go live to one or many platforms at the same time; 4) record, share screen, customize your shows
What makes melon different from competitors:
1) donations = your community can support you and 100% of the funds (minus processing fees) go to the creator (we do not take a cut)
2) real-time alerts to recognize your fans
3) ability to drag/resize certain elements on screen
4) deepest customization/personalization
5) ease of use = one of the core design principles is that you can get started in just a few clicks
6) more affordable = more value for $
Happy to answer any questions. Would love blunt feedback on what we can add to make it useful to HN community.
>If I customize the screen, can I save the items and positions and reuse that in other stream a few days later?
exactly. everything saved. there are also notions of profiles so all other visual settings (banner/ticker/font/themes etc.) can be saved and re-used
It's slightly confusing and my guess is that people does not care if you or VISA is taking a cut.
>>Do the streamer have to pay upfront? Do streamer prefer to pay instead of "sharing" a part of the donations? (I think this is the twitch model.)
could word that better. meta point is that we do not intermediate between the supporter/community and creator. on twitch and youtube - if you donate - the platform (twitch/youtube) take a cut. that is standard for native donation experience on platforms or on mobile (iOS). we take no cut so max % of funds (minus processing fees which are outside our control) go from community to creator. and this donation/monetization feature is unique to us - > that was the spirit of the post
Feature request?: Do you have a whiteboard? We now give a lot of math classes by Zoom/Meet, and my coworkers have very strong opinions about them because they have differences in the whiteboard support
We don't have a whiteboard. Could you please elaborate what you'd like to do? So is that just ability to draw on canvas - and both guests and hosts can draw on canvas?
We can add anything (all possible), but want to make sure we get 100% what you want. Elabroate?
