Just tried to order but looks like you don't ship to US yet?

Sounds similar to breadth-first coding.

We have a WhatsApp group where we share music recommendations with each other. It's grown quite a bit now and it's gotten hard to keep up. Also new members missed everything that came before. So I set out to solve this problem and have some fun last week.

I decided to write a shell script that does the following: - Parses chat export file and extracts all the Spotify URLs. - Removes duplicates - Authenticates w/ Spotify API - Fetches Ids of tracks already in playlist - Creates a difference list of missing tracks - Adds those to the playlist

And that's that.

Nice.. but what makes Canva valuable isn't the tool itself.. It's the templates. Add some templates

> "Highly funded companies are expected to produce revenue growth."

Yup, this is exactly what I was hoping wasn't true: That it's impossible to be both well funded, high revenue growth AND do so while tackling a meaningful problem. ---

Don't want to make this thread about all the ways in which Tesla is a bad example (just first one that came to mind).

Ah! Got it! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing!

Yea, it's my fault for providing that example.. wish I could edit the main thread to change the examples. Really just care about surfacing the big investments.

Yea, neither could I. Hence the thread. It really does feel like the worlds greatest minds are all just busy trying to find creative ways to sell ads and it's kinda sad.

This is exactly what I was hoping this thread would disprove. But so far I think you're probably right. Private interest just doesn't seem to be seriously willing or able to tackle the big issues.

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

Oh interesting, I guess I've always thought about problem solving and creativity as being one and the same. Mind expanding on this a bit?
