Our new product has been live for 5 months, but it’s evolved a lot. Dane Lyons recapped our product progress on Hacker Noon:

We got the initial experience live for our core users: writers, readers, editors, sponsors and admins; and integrated with many great technologies like: Google Cloud, #Slatejs, Algolia, Filestack, Unsplash, Google Analytics, Discourse, GUN blockchain, Twitter, and more.

Building a digital product is always a trade-off between inventing the wheel, re-inventing the wheel and figuring out a way to plug in an existing solution — all while making the thing feel like just one quality thing. We’re getting there. Very excited to build more this year.

Read for more detail on how/why we built the way we did.

E61 — We Are Living in the Simulation Hypothesis with Riz Virk.

Listen on iTunes, Google, wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on Youtube:

via Derek Bernard: In a world where the nature of our being in this place we call reality is so often taken for granted amidst the need to sustain the status quo, Riz Virk (zenentrepreneur.com) explores the very real possibility (and in some schools of thought, a very real PROBability) that what we experience as “real” is in fact a simulation akin to a video game with it’s quests, achievements, and leveling up through our experiences.

“What is Science and what is Religion? Both are attempts to try to find the truth about our physical reality and what is inside or outside of that reality and what the rules are. In the Simulation Hypothesis what science is actually discovering is what we in the video game world would call a physics engine.” — Riz Virk

“The Simulation Hypothesis is a model that we live in an information-based reality that’s being rendered for each of us may end up coming closer to explaining these things than a lot of other models that are out there.” — Riz Virk

“The Internet is Here to Stay,” says Ron Burgundy was originally published in HackerNoon.com on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

In Math We Trust. Do You? Or Should You?

“A few days ago, one of my favorite artists, Carlos Cruz-Diez, passed away. He is considered one of the fathers of kinetic art, which plays with the viewer’s perspective to provide the illusion of movement. He had a scientific, almost mathematical, approach to art and did a lot of research on the physics and the physiology of color perception.”

Listen to the interview on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Can also watch the interview on YouTube.

In this episode, Patrick Murray interviews Ryan G. Smith about how LeafLink grew to $1B in orders on their platform, making up 16% of all B2B orders in the U.S. More at http://firstbillion.leaflink.com/. Ryan also goes over how LeafLink became the first cannabis company named on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list and Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Enterprise and more!

“The use case, real quick, is if you are purchasing manager at a dispensary, typically you would text, email, phone call 30–50 brands every week or so to stock your shelves, now you can go on LeafLink, create a multi-brand cart, hit submit, and then those invoices get sent out to all those brands, and then they have some SaaS tools which help them then manage the life cycle of the order internally all the way through to delivery.”

“I’m confident about going through these processes but a lot of it is being comfortable, being uncomfortable knowing you don’t know. Those phrases that are too often used, but it’s true. If you think you’ve got it all figured out, nobody wants to deal with people like that. Everyone is just like an old baby, pretty much like an old child”

More Tech Interviews worth watching:

Four Pillars for Enterprise Blockchain Development with IBM’s Jerry Cuomo

“There is a wonderful moment when a developer meets a business-informed person, and there is this cross-pollination that occurs where an age-old business problem. with Blockchain now as a set of tools and techniques for businesses to collaborate, provides a resolution.”

From Liberal Arts to Tech with Lauren Maffeo:

“In hindsight I think my media studies degree I thought at the time that those degrees were going to prepare me for a career as a reporter, but I actually think they were better preparation for what I do now as a research analyst because that kind of education primes you to look at a market, find gaps within that market, ask critical questions about the status quo and then give solutions for what to do differently. And I see a lot of parallels between my work as an analyst here and what I did academically, and so in hindsight that humanities education was great preparation for a career in tech.”

The Shortest Distance From Idea to Execution with Jim Rose of CircleCI

“Our model has always been about developer empowerment. We’ve always wanted developers to use our platform irrespective of whether they’re going to pay us, because we think, in a very community-oriented fashion, that a rising tide raises all the ships. The more developers can get familiar with more advanced technologies and more advanced approaches it’s just good for everyone, including their consumers.”

Nontechnical Founder Interview: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Zack Hurley

“I finally understood that you don’t need to spend 10 or 20 years in a corporation to be an entrepreneur and start your own thing. It just flipped everything that I knew about what I had to do on its head. I don’t have to wait,”

The Entrepreneurial Journey with 10up Founder Jake Goldman

“My entrepreneurial journey is really like a long break at a time story. I think there are a lot of people today who particularly shape their minds that being an entrepreneur is a career choice that you make and then find the product that you want to build, which is not how I think of good entrepreneurship”.

$1B in Orders and $35M Raised: Meet the Man Disrupting Marijuana Tech was originally published in HackerNoon.com on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

“Last month, Facebook rocked the world with its blockbuster Libra announcement. Even a year ago, the idea that an iconic United States company would launch a digital currency or that a sitting president would tweet about it seemed insane,” writes Dan Jeffries.

“Welcome to the new normal.

The Libra announcement sent politicians scrambling, hit the mainstream media like an atom bomb, and left many crypto influencers wondering if the social network giant just turned 90% of altcoins into shitcoins. What tiny crypto project with a few measly programmers and a few million bucks can stand against the combined might of not just Facebook but also the titans of the tech and payment processing world likeUber, Lyft, Paypal, Visa and Mastercard?

But there’s a new hope on the horizon. One company on the planet has the power to take on the social media monster and win:

Telegram.

If Libra is the Empire Strikes Back, Telegram is A New Hope

While Facebook has 1.8 billion users, Telegram raised $1.7 billion.

While Facebook has the unwashed masses who’ve never held a Bitcoin, Telegram has the entire crypto community that lives and breathes altcoins for breakfast.

While Mark Zuckerberg is the poster child for the internet as a surveillance economy, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, is a fight-the-power renegade, with privacy woven into his DNA.”
