You can get top 3 stories per day on Hacker News, which is aggregates posts based on community votes but how does your service determine top posts for a news website for example - Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg?

Your product's design is really cool, great job on it.


That’s a great question! In short, it doesn’t.

If the website has no RSS Feeds, it scrapes the website and gives you the articles (if it can guess what are articles, otherwise, just gives you the link to the website — in this situation it’s more helping you create a habit to only visit that website once per day, and if you tell me which website it is, I can go in and tweak the logic for it).

Also, thank you so much for the kind words!


This website contains contains links to lot of these textbooks - https://mirtitles.org


Thanks.


Can you share the original source / how you found the document? Thanks!


I've actually reposted this a couple times since I thought it was interesting and it never gained traction, so at this point I don't remember for sure how I originally came across it. A quick search shows this page has the same link and some more info: http://www.scmessinacapital.com/blog/2015/04/where-can-i-see...

So I suppose the context was probably that I had just watched The Big Short and was reading up on the topic some more haha.


It looks like an addendum to (or part of) "Wall Street & the Financial Crisis-Anatomy of a Financial Collapse"

https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/PSI%20REPORT%20-%...

Yep, there's a reference on page 289.

1119 2/2007 “Shorting Home Equity Mezzanine Tranches,” Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,

and there was an earlier version, from 2005.

1314 See, e.g., 2/2007 presentation, “Shorting Home Equity Mezzanine Tranches,” prepared by Mr. Lippmann, DBSI_PSI_EMAIL01988773-845


Thanks for posting, I been looking for one of these pitches, but never found it.



Wasn’t able to add Medium post linked in the tweet - https://medium.com/@henrysward/cartas-covid-19-layoff-cbb80e...


Woah, was just reading the chapter where it described you in the Hatching Twitter book. Didn't know you hung out here too.


who would have thought it would turn into POTUS chief medium of communication then


In their defence, it's unlikely that the situation would have been much different without Twitter. There are plenty of other ways for narcissists to micro-publish on the Internet.


Yep. Hell, I'm narcissistically micro-publishing right now!


You might be being sarcastic, but you’re not wrong. If the POTUS commented on hacker news, they’d hit the media just as surely as any tweet.


i read this in a Utah Phillips voice: around 2:10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9c1vSIpHA0


I'd argue twitter made POTUS not the other way around


Have you tried using GTD method with a task tracking tool? It might help in your case.


I have followed plaintext productivity. http://plaintext-productivity.net/2-11-standing-lists-for-gt... The problem though is following it studiously.


Yes, sell side analysts expectations are basically expectations of the big participants in the market unless there is disclosure / news from the company or price action on the stock that can influence the outlook.


The estimates are just absurdly wrong though. Ask any investor and most will just laugh at those estimates. 99% of estimates for all companies haven’t dramatically been decreased yet. So I would take these estimates with a grain of salt.


yeah that's the point of the article.


Long time user here, great product and use it quite often for online subscription trials.


Perfect. I also signed up yesterday. Thanks.
