The "AI" "agent" "helpdesk" they pivoted into is such a grift. AI agents still does not solve the main issues that makes a person contact support in the first place. How do I know? I was a founder in the space.
but good for them that they got salesforce to buy it.
We’ve been working on a browser-based Link Graph (osint) analysis tool for months now (https://webvetted.com/workbench). The graph charting tools on the market are pretty basic for the kind of charting we are looking to do (think 1000s of connected/disconnected nodes/edges. Being able to handle 1M points is a dream.
We’ve been experiencing the same thing. On further inspection, we discovered that the owner of the data centers was Tencent. So we blocked them at the ASN level across countries.
This was after web had to geo block China & Singapore some weeks earlier.
These AI scraping guys are destroying the web for normal folks in these countries where they run data scrapers.
the service is a suite of online vetting and due diligence tools for website flippers, Fb marketplace sellers/buyers and Tiktok shoppers
The domain has an interesting backstory. I acquired if it n 2022 from Epik after they stole the $10,000 I had deposited into their Escrow service. The money was meant for acquiring a newish stable diffusion hosting website that was competing with civit.ai. When the Epik issue was discovered, the seller pulled out.
Acquiring that website could have changed my life.

As someone who has primarily used Laravel for almost 10years, this makes me sad.

From my knowledge, the company was churning along quite well. I wonder what the money raised will be used for.
What I’m saying is that the product landscape is already quite mature. The product adds nothing new or spectacular to the landscape. They will struggle with internal motivation to maintain an also-ran product.
You can already do this on PC using the Windows Subsystem for Android. The major issue surrounding WSA was that it was too technical to setup for most PC users so we built an app for our non-technical users to solve this. Right now, Google building a standalone app for only Android games (people use Android apps fairly on par with games on PC) and then insisting on a slow rollout will most likely make the product go nowhere.
Calling this now. This is a likely candidate for the Google graveyard.
Whenever articles like these are published, I wonder who the Author thinks does the work of writing free articles on the Internet just for their pleasure. Content is expensive and is created by writers who must be paid.
To demand quality articles from the Internet, you must be willing to pay for them. Nobody exists just to write free passionate articles on the Internet and earn no money from them.
This is not possible. You cannot fund your account with more than $30 per day unless you are have the highest verification and right now, the limit at those levels is just $60.
It will take you years to move $100k at $60 per day.
UPDATE from Justuseapp.com: Stripe has reached out to us and working together, we have resolved this issue and our account has been re-enabled.
I cannot thank Hacker News enough.
Running a business all these years has been hard and full of Ups and downs. I do not recommend it for the faint-hearted. Until this morning, I had almost given up hope that our business was dead.
