in @ycombinator they have a playbook on how to get customers ASAP for your startup. if you follow this, you’ll brute force your way to 100 customers, almost no matter what your product is. Here it is: 1/ launch-max. product hunt, hackerNews, devhunt, betalist, peerlist, indie hackers, etc. YC tells you to launch 3 times MINIMUM 2/ pull your competitor’s strongest backlinks and get yourself listed in the same places. whatever article they have listed, you make a better version and ask the site to replace it (or supplement) with yours. 3/ WARM OUTBOUND. Everyone knows about building in public. but you still need to capitalize on the 99% of leads who see your content but don’t come inbound scrape everyone who likes your posts on Linkedin each week, check if they fit your customer profile, and message them. you set this up to fire automatically with @origamichat (i dropped a prompt in the comments) 4/ find 20 to 30 ugc creators on tiktok / instagram in your niche. ask them to create content about your product, ideally from a fresh account. pay them a fixed fee ($15–$30 per video) plus performance incentives ($1k for 1 million views, etc). you can use @sideshift_app (best creators imo) and line up 20+ of these creators in 1 day 5/ when building in public, a video is 10x better than an image/text - spam use cases of ur product on X/Linkedin 6/ figure out where your customers actually spend time. which slack/discord groups are they in? what newsletters do they open? which podcasts and accounts do they follow? pay those people for shoutouts 7/ there's a fresh trend on x basically every week. jump on the relevant ones and fold your product in (like i’m doing right now). To find trends i just use Origami & search “Lead Gen/GTM posts that are viral on X” to find the best posts every week in my niche Then, I will reply to those, quote tweet them, and use the formats that work myself (that’s the secret to why my account has high engagement BTW - you can do this too) --------- if you are doing all this every single week and DO NOT GIVE UP (launching, posting demos, contacting new customers) I guarantee you will hit your customer goals. Then the game becomes retention. will be posting 2-3 more growth hacks every single week

Alex Soros is interesting because he’s a billionaire heir who dedicates his life to making cities less safe. He’s like a Reverse Batman.

Elon Musk: "You cannot ask for two years of salary in escrow and consider yourself a cofounder. There's got to be some combination of inspiration, perspiration, and risk to be a cofounder." when Elon recruited Mueller in 2002 from a stable job at TRW, he insisted that two years of his salary be placed in escrow as protection in case SpaceX failed. Musk agreed to the escrow arrangement, but this directly influenced how Musk viewed him.

Over the past 6 months Chinese households have paid off CNY 253bn a month ($32bn). That's the annual equivalent of 2% of GDP. At the same time private investment is shrinking at a record pace and the rate of retail sales is at a record low (ex-pandemic). These would be catastrophic numbers in any normal economy. But China is growing at 5%...yeah, right.

最近跟藏师傅聊天，都感觉到深深的共鸣。 大众以为 AI 带来平权，但实际带来的是 K 型分化。 头部用户已经默认理解 Agent 的组成：文档、规则、memory、loop、MCP、CLI、工具调用、权限、安全沙箱、上下文工程、定时任务、心跳、文件系统、代码执行和 Skill。 普通用户只知道"Agent 能写代码"。 怎么办？把技能做好，是跨越鸿沟的唯一解法。 我们正在和藏师傅一起做一点实际的事情，让 Cola 帮助大众真正跨越鸿沟。

I can understand why Italians saw this and decided to invent unemployment

The two best statistics in the WSJ’s genuinely great article on North Korea’s economic boom: Pyongyang built more housing last year than LA. (Says something about CA housing dysfunction). North Korea assembled more cellphones than the USA. (Assuming the #s are true!)

@Sunday14620881 @ZZYtheReformist 1991年，胡启立复出工作，被安排到原机械电子工业部，担任排名最後的副部长。 ---你极没素质，也没常识。还是闭嘴吧

@ZZYtheReformist 胡启立被处置，多年后成了电子工业部部长，最后以政协副主席退下。 你给他定的副部？ 狗屁不通的东西，该去哪玩去哪玩！

I've written our finance special report this year (one of the few bylined pieces in The Economist!) It's on what I see as the decaying status of US Treasuries, the world's only real safe asset, and the worrying long-term problems for global finance as that role is eroded.
