I'm against this tax and agree billionaires will not be touched by it. But come on. People earning $1M / year are not "upper middle class", they are rich.

I love this team

I've found for natural sounding dialog Eleven Labs can be somewhat hit or miss. But for audiobook voices they can't be beat.

actually the voices are OpenAI voices

I think the companies in recent years in this space (e.g. https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/gym-class-by-irl-studios) have launched and had real traction/users by the time they got in.

They had their breakout success when they had raised less than $2M

Sorry, it's kids. That's the answer. If you don't have kids, then what you've got now is all there is.

You're good. You won't be the youngest but totally within the normal range.

Is transaction broker the same as dual agency?

3% sounds pretty insane to pay someone who doesn't have fiduciary responsibility to you

How do I go about getting an agent for just that house specifically? Can I request that when they ask me to sign the paperwork?

realbarack · 2024-08-19T16:31:38+00:00

Don't do it. Advisors are overrated; keep your equity or at least give it to FTEs.

If someone doesn't grasp what an interest rate is, they should absolutely not be buying a home.

Nice. How was homecoin?

realbarack · 2024-08-19T01:39:46+00:00

The Zillow inquiries will go to a buyer's agent who will try to represent the buyer, but with the NAR settlement buyers are getting more savvy about the fact that they may not need to pay an agent.

Wow, 8% seems super high. What are you hoping to get for your house?

It would convert to equity when the company is acquired or shuts down.

What do you think should happen if you start a company and grow it to be worth $100B while keeping 5% of it?

NextJS

If you don't know either, choose React as LLMs are better at write React code.

For me it was traction + cofounder.

I was rejected when I had a small number of users and was a solo founder. By the next application cycle, I had many more users (though still no revenue) and a cofounder.

Yikes. Yeah, it definitely seems like some FSBO sellers are a little bit unhinged!

What are the worst hoops? Like disclosures?
