What is really interesting is how many times this story has been posted previously without getting any traction?

Why is this time different? The poster, current geopolitical/technical climate or...

Sometimes a gui is helpful for things (such as monitoring) but you don't want to leave your terminal because it screws with your workflow.

>Founders have to focus on signal over noise. People who are not founders focus on... whatever.

This perspective seems extremely close minded, almost as if suggesting those who are not 'founders' (of silicon valley startups?) are incapable of rational thought or action.

There are many executives who have never 'founded' a VC backed company who would heartily disagree, not to mention all of the humans with other credentials who process information, make decisions and create value.

I just meant founders of any company, not necessarily SV ones. Sorry if it came off as very reductionistic, but I was trying to phrase things quickly and simply. If you're not looking for real life tips on how to build products and gain traction and stuff, then any topic is fair game. As online communities transform from niche-based places, to general purpose hangouts, the content can get watered down.

I think a whole lot of people forget that this is a discussion board run by a venture capital group.

I agree with the post, but don't find it surprising. If you have problems with companies these guys are invested in, probably find a different platform that they don't run?

Seriously, we could do this on IRC without hard gatekeeping...

You say gatekeeping like it's a bad thing; I wonder how much spam gets blocked by automated systems here.

This article doesn't relate to spam prevention as far as I can tell.

The author is concerned that content which would be valuable to the 'tech-scene' by virtue of demonstrable ability to gain traction quickly is being suppressed due to site owners wanting to avoid damaging their investments.

I mean: We're all free to have a drink from the proverbial firehose any time we want.

They aren't faster in the cases I know of. As an example, the Isle of Man TT Zero was discontinued partially because 2008 predictions of electric bikes reaching parity with gas by 2025 didn't pan out.

Even for small stuff, a minibike with a 212cc 4-stroke can have comparable performance to something like a Cake or Surron and is a fraction of the cost.

Personally I think the electric motorcycle market should try and max performance versus weight. Perhaps something pedal assisted that could hit 60 mph without too much fuss but light enough that it could be shouldered up a few flights of stairs. Range can be low, as in 10-15 miles per charge max but balanced by swappable battery packs.

EUCs are self-balancing. They also can have amazing suspension and an excellent performance envelope.

Why does this not have 1200+ points? Sometimes people need to be reminded of the fundamentals!

>most people are not influencers.

Perhaps, but many are. They just don't have much reach or don't use a digital platform.

I don't understand the UX complaints? I thought we needed to re-wild the web and do more weird shit when we feel like it?
