Running a consumer app at scale is just being a punching bag for every bad actor on the internet. All day long people will try to hack you, spam the platform, scrape your data, and harass users.

Sometimes the “big idea” of an app is simply forcing constraints that feel onerous to users at the time, but preserve the integrity of the community.

For example, when Facebook launched, real names on the internet were unheard of and made people feel uneasy. However, by requiring it: it suddenly made the internet welcoming to women. In contrast, platforms that permitted pseudonyms continued as hostile, male-concentrated spaces.

Similarly, when we were building the Gas app, we knew that launching an anonymous messaging app to teenagers was a suicide factory: they are deranged and will bully their peers until they end their life.

So we pre-set the messages they could send so that they were only positive. This not only cured the bullying problem, but it was additive too: we 10x’d messages sent and many users told us that they actually reconsidered suicide because of the app.

As you think about what “big idea” will resonate with users, it may just be giving them less freedom.

Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states!

Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won:

– Presidency
– Popular vote
– Senate majority
– House majority
– State governor majority
– State legislature majority

The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence 🙄

This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!

You are the media now

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

It is now officially ELECTION DAY! This will be the most important day in American History.

Voter enthusiasm is THROUGH THE ROOF because people want to Make America Great Again. That means lines are going to be long!

I need you to deliver your vote no matter how long it takes. STAY IN LINE!

The Radical Communist Democrats want you to pack up and go home.

Together, we are going to have a tremendous victory and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Here's my conversation with Gregory Aldrete, a historian specializing in ancient Rome and military history.

We talk all about the Roman Empire: its rise and fall, major battles & leaders, military technology & tactics, gladiators, politics, laws, economy, religion.

I will do many more episodes on history (interviews & solo). If we don't understand our past, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that many before us have paid a heavy price for.

Javier Milei just told a bunch of WEF socialists at Davos that they are THE PROBLEM, not the solution.

This is how a leader leads.

@ardensurquiola @jgaytandeayala No diría que ha sido la peor, puede ser la peor gestionada, pero sin duda marco un antes y un después en el mundo del co-working, office leasing space y los unicornios, te recomiendo el libro “Billion Dollar Loser”, la historia no deja de ser una locura.
