Hi Peter,

We have an employee that just won the H1B lotto. We don't actually pay employees any cash (all future payments). Will this be an issue?

Thanks!


If you're Orthodox, keeping Shabbat (no phones for 24 hours) solves this - at least for one day a week.


According to Google, Quora, and r/Judaism you can search for "is it okay to read Parsha or Tanach on phone on Shabat" on Shabbat.

Anyone interested in contributing to a new search engine while you look around for a role josh@sirch.org


I'm working on a search engine. One foundational difference is that we care about People Rank (TM), not Page Rank.

josh@sirch.org if you'd like to join us.


And what is "People Rank"?


Does everyone else assume it'll be a joke/junk/horrible before clicking the link, or is it just me?


Eh, at least the bands won't be made out of "finewoven".


Well, it’s not fine.. : https://store.google.com/us/product/watch_band_woven?hl=en-U...


I guess that's why it doesn't cost anywhere close to $100!


Sirch

A new AI search engine that's democratic.

Some opinions: - Most queries don't require a list of links. Some do. - Most lists of links should be curated by trusted experts. - There should be a way to flip between the results. - A good mission statement for a filing cabinet is "organize the world's information". - The correct mission statement is solve the need. - The only way to do this is democratically. Can't do this alone. - One company in this space is crazy.

What could be the general approach to upholding a one "vote" per human" policy / preventing rank from being gamed?


To whom it may concern,

We're building a new search engine. Of course it's AI driven, but at its core, it's all about human dignity. When you use it, you'll have a voice. If you'd like to try it, please email me: josh@sirch.org

Thanks! Josh

PS. If you'd like to join our team, we have 16 people now (mostly Snapchat/Instagram/Twitter folks), and we'd like to go up to 50 before we raise capital. It's going to be a wild ride.


When I got to your website I get a Vercel 404 `Code: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND`. Perhaps not the most confidence-inspiring for potential candidates..


If anyone is interested in joining Google's real competition ;-) please email me josh@sirch.org

Thanks!


how are you planning to compete, what is your advantage?..


Google Maps is amazing.

If you think the world deserves some more innovation in the search space, email me at josh@sirch.org - we have a team (mostly ex-Meta/Twitter/Insta), an MVP, and early revenue.


Annoyed by Google? We're building the future.

Join us and help beat 'em. josh@sirch.org
