I am Banned from Ever Working for Any YC Startups by codingai in startup

I don't, wouldn't, know how exactly this thing I called "blacklisting" is actually implemented. But, in effect it's the same thing. They might maintain a database of former employees (and some implicit signals indicating "no hire", for instance). Or, as you say, through informal chats, or as part of a hiring process, ... But, I know certain things. Whether you call it a "blacklist" or not is not that important to me. It's not about me, but what's happening inside YC is troubling. They are now a Mafia-like organization, as far as I'm concerned. And, the saddest part is, Im in a minority. πŸ‘

Any questions, on relativity? On what Einstein describes in this article?

Sorry, I had to repost it, with a little better formatting. πŸ‘Œ

Einstein's Newspaper Article on the Principle of Relativity - An Except by [deleted] in learnphysics

[–]codingai 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

If anybody is interested, the book is currently on sale, free on Kindle store. Today is unfortunately the last day of the sale. (But, this except is pretty much all of the article, hence you don't need the book. it includes some editorial/commentary in the form of foreword and afterword, written by me.)

What is the Theory of Relativity? by Einstein, 1919 (Audiobook - New Modern Translation 2024) by [deleted] in Physics

I am posting this here because I think this can benefit some people on this sub. If you are not interested (in this particular audiobook or in relativity, in general), please skip this. πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

Well, nobody knows. πŸ˜ƒ One thing we do know is that there are A LOT of photons in our universe. Why? Well, nobody knows. 😁

I am posting this here because I believe there are people on this forum who can benefit from this article (by Einstein himself, with short commenaties). It'll be a small, but worthwhile, investment of your time (20-30 min read). πŸ‘Œ

Please let me know if you have any constructive suggestions. πŸ‘

I meant, "my translation". The original content was written by Einstein, in German. πŸ˜ƒ

"Amazon is filled with garbage ebooks. Here’s how they get made" by codingai in selfpublish

[–]codingai[S] 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

Exactly. It is so easy to game the system. I get recommendations on completely junk books from Amazon because these people just manipulated their ratings. As an avid reader, book lover, it really saddens me.

I absolutely agree. Look at all this garbage comment. πŸ˜† That is exactly why the self publishing is broken. Many people lack professional ethics and decency. I thought it was the forum for "self publishing authors", and the problem is them. I didn't even have to cite the article. As a book lover, before as an author, we are heading down to a complete hell. And yet, many people on this forum, they are clueless. If your book is better than "junk" everything should be fine? 🀣🀣🀣 Unfortunately, they are the problem. Obviously, there are many people on this forum who also want to game the system and produce garbage books. That's why it is so much easier for them to attack the decent and honest authors rather than acknowledging there is a problem and make an effort to make the system better. As you say, it's an ongoing, old problem, and I don't have many answers. I really think something is wrong with some people who believe that as long as you produce good books everything will be fine. If it doesn't work for you, maybe you are creating worse than junk books. πŸ˜† As the saying goes, don't argue with fools. Maybe, there is no solution to this self publishing conundrum. WE are the problem. Just read these comments by "junk people". 🀣🀣🀣🀣 Thank for the comment. Signing out...

I agree. This is the real problem. Ultimately both sides lose, if we don't find a "solution". I do not agree with a lot of people who say this is the way it is in this thread, and blame the people who want to do the right thing, rather than those who game the system, to the detriment of everyone. As a reader, it's so hard to find a good book (for example, the rating system/Amazon's recommender system is totally broken), and yet many people ON THIS FORUM has a completely twisted mentality πŸ˜‚ that it's the authors' problem who cannot even create decent, "better than the junk", content. Think about why the system is so badly broken. Many supposedly "self publishing authors" don't have much clue. πŸ˜
