Prosecutors are investigating whether X has been involved in election interference , even classifying them as an " organized gang " a pretty serious label! X, predictably, is not happy about this, calling it a "politically-motivated" investigation and refusing to cooperate.

It brings up huge questions about transparency, data privacy, free speech, and government oversight. What s your take ...

... zero-sum game. Like on a derivatives exchange: it s not enough to keep doing your part; someone above you has to mess up for you to move up. Your gain = someone else s loss.

... makers and fellow tech enthusiasts! I'm an indie developer from China. I've always struggled with traditional habit-tracking apps. They often feel like a chore, and when I fail one day, I lose all motivation. So, I had a "what if" moment: What if breaking a bad habit felt less like a task and more like a game?

... Maybe this post will help makers understand how much people are willing to spend, what products are useful to them, and what the main motive for buying is. I personally try to keep track of how much and what I spend.

... something else for a moment. That one moment when it felt like it was over. No funding. No traction. Silence from users. The team is falling apart. You doubted everything. What kept you going? For me, it wasn t motivation or a podcast quote. It was a single, silent look from my dad, the kind that says I see you without words. I remembered that. And I kept building.

... Keeping a startup team motivated without money is one of the hardest challenges I ve faced, harder than growth or sales. I ve worked on a few SaaS products with let s just say, not-ideal budgets. And honestly, the hardest part wasn t traction. It was morale. At one point, we couldn t even guarantee stability, let alone bonuses. What kept us going? Let me share what worked for us?
