> Time dilation goes to infinity at the center of the black hole - at the singularity, not at the event horizon
That is incorrect. The inside and outside of the black hole are causally disconnected. For someone who passes the event horizon the entire future history of the universe plays out above them as the universe warps down into a single beam of light as the black-ness engulfs you.
From the perspective of someone outside, nothing ever "crosses" the event horizon - it just slowly redshifts into darkness and appears to take infinity to "touch" the even horizon.
There is nothing "happening" inside of any black hole right now that has any corresponding time in the outside universe. From our perspective, it happens in the infinitely far future.
Imagine working hard your whole life that you get to a point that most cannot even dream of getting to and having some schmuck on an online forum who knows nothing other than some headline hoping that you would fail.
It appears the trend is becoming that just by being negative and short on everything is some kind of lazy hack to appear intelligent.
I'm a startup founder from India who'd love to learn more about how to gain access to US capital markets and startup ecosystem. (e.g. Annual VC deal volume in US is typically 25x that of India).
I'd love to know what you think are some practical ways of going about this, any common gotchas etc.:
1. Opening a delaware c corp via stripe atlas, any common mistakes you've seen?
2. For a small bootstrapped business (<$100K ARR), are there any realistic ways for the founder to immigrate to the US? (mainly to access a better ecosystem, community)
3. For setting up a remote team: Say that I keep the tech team in my home country, what's the best way to, for example, set up a sales team in the US? (common use case for B2B SaaS)
Not very professional to just point the user to a google doc/sheet.
How do you manage collaboration (i.e. allow users to add features but not make any random changes or delete the whole sheet)? Feature upvotes? Do we ask people to raise a number by 1 in the "upvotes" column.
A proper solution should come with a dedicated frontend.
I'm a software developer myself. For me, its more like a disengagement from the whole thing.
Do you remember when android/ios were new and there were all new and fun games coming out like angry birds and such? Everyone was into it for a couple years.
Now, if you look at those same games (or even apps from the same era), every single thing about them is made to suck money out of you. It just does something to you, and I've noticed this in most people I know too, it just makes you sick.
Rather than constantly worrying about how not to be a sucker when searching for a new app, I now frequently decide that whatever it was that I wanted to do, I could do some other way or not do at all rather than be subjected to the constant victimization by aggressive monetization everywhere you look.
The hard truth that we, the tech industry, are currently not accepting, is that the value of a lot of the software out there, is actually zero or close to it. The industry has matured. Commoditization is imminent.
Software will be like auto, energy, medicine. Just another industry. Software developers will be like plumbers, advertisers, electricians - It'll be just another trade, but the past gold rush and the remaining few nuggets still out there will blind us all to this fact for the next decade at least.
Wow, I find it amazing how some innocent founders find their posts/tweets/etc blocked, ignored or shadowbanned and somehow, if you're someone, you get attention everywhere for free.
Doesn't seem very fair. I thought at this point hacker news' spam detectors would flare up and stop bumping everything 'Hey' to the top.
Not trying to put on a tinfoil hat but, there is simply no way in hell to get this level of PR and attention unless a significant portion of all Hey activities have been carefully and methodically planned for weeks and months.
I deal with the same difficulties myself and the App store mafia cut is a real problem but I just don't think I'll ever be able to trust them again with such aggressive PR tactics.
As an android user, I'm so jelly. Those screenshots look delicious, well done.
I feel like amazon literally hasn't bothered updating their UI since the 90s. I love audible, but god damn their UI is depressing and actually makes listening to audiobooks a worse experience. There's no better alternative either :(
It's really disheartening that when you don't even have any twitter/blog following, stuff like this happens to thousands of people and nobody ever hears about them.
To anyone who wants to learn more I highly recommend https://www.profgalloway.com - Basically a bunch of idealogy around why the big four need to be broken up.
