Looking for a Technical Co-Founder for a TTS Product Focused on News Ecosystem

Hi all,

I'm looking for a technical co-founder for a text-to-speech product that is focused on the news ecosystem. In brief, the idea is to automatically generate a podcast-quality audio companion for published articles that can support advertisements.

Type of Profile I'm Looking For:

1. 3-5 years+ of experience in a software development or technical PM role 2. Fluent in Python + experience with ML products 3. Has other back-end capabilities; potentially some experience with front-end too (the latter is nice to have) 4. Track record of success either implementing new features to an existing product or starting a product from scratch 5. Willing to jump in to a startup full-time 6. [Nice to have - not required] Based in the New York Metro area

Differentiators Re: My Startup [Narrativ]

1. Angel investor in place for first $250K; path to raise $750K easily among close connections 2. Board Chairman is the former CEO of a $700M revenue company; advisor is the former Chief Data Officer of a Fortune 500 company 3. Willing to provide relatively generous salary + equity compensation [sliding scale between the two]

Contact Me:

If interested, please reach out to me at ben@narrativ.ai or connect with me on LinkedIn

Hope to hear from you!

I woke up one night to the sound of someone breaking in to my house.

I quickly reached for my phone. My wife grabbed it away and whispered "Don't do that, he'll hear you! Take your baseball bat, go downstairs and chase him out!"

I reluctantly took my bat and creeped down the stairs. I tiptoed into the kitchen.

Nobody there.

Slowly, I made my way into the living room.

Nobody there.

Getting really nervous, I crept into the dining room.

Nobody there.

There was one room left- the toilet. I silently approached, gripping my bat, and flung open the door!

Nobody there.

"Where could he be hiding?" I wondered.

Then I remembered-

I don't have a wife.

A suicidal man

had enough of being unhappy and decided to jump off his balcony. He went out to the balcony and grabbed the rail while looking up to the sky for a sign. Something in the corner of his eye catches his attention. He lowers his gaze and sees his armless neighbor, who lives in the building across the street, dancing and raving with no music.

Baffled by this, he yells to the neighbor:

-Hey you!

-What?!

-How come you're dancing and raving and having a blast?

-What are you talking about!?

-No for real, I'm about to take my life, all limbs intact and you're armless dancing around? How come?

-Mate, I don't know what you're on but I've been trying to scratch my ass the last 20 minutes.

Is my english teacher right?

I'm German. We just had 'globish' as our subject in english class. It's a version of the english language with only 1k words, so that it is easy to learn and understand by everyone. Now my teacher showed us the following cartoon https://preview.redd.it/moncmcyogid91.png?width=498&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c279d9ed11f472b7ce2308a02f78f6a0333fa27 and claimed that a casual english speaking person would often use the sentence on the left: "Would you please be so kind as to point me in the direction of the premises where I will find some relief?" rather than something like : "Can you show me where the toilets are?". I tried debating with her, but she insisted that it is a normal sentence that most people use. Is she right? submitted by /u/jaybee18OnReddit to r/CasualUK [link] [comments]

Can men pull out before they ejaculate?

We were newlyweds and excited for sex. I told my husband I'm at my fertile time and we need a condom. He said no, he would pull out in time. He did not pull out in time. He didn't even try to pull out. I got pregnant. I was upset and asked why. He said he couldn't pull out. He said it felt so good he was incapable of pulling out. Is this really true? Do men lose the capacity for reason and become incapable of pulling out?

i was raised christian. now i’m questioning my faith, so i want to hear the other side’s perspective. why are you an atheist?

title. any responses would be much appreciated because i want to see some actual atheists say why they believe what they believe instead of hearing christians explain why atheists are aesthetic.

i’m not asking to be convinced, but i am curious to hear about the pros of atheism. i’ve only ever been taught to view atheism from a negative light, so show me the positives.

edit: alright some people have rightly pointed out that it’s not about pros and cons, it’s about what’s true and what’s not. so i take back my prior statement about the pros of atheism. tell me why it’s your truth instead.

edit 2: woah, i was not expecting so many responses. thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences! i already feel more informed, and i plan to do some research on my own.

The Age Factor

(Taken from Reader's Digest Year:1998)

Even though she's been teaching English for 25 years, my mother never felt her age was an issue, until the day she helped a student with a report on the Vietnam War. Mom recognised the name of a war correspondent mentioned in the textbook and blurted, "I used to date him!" Peering up from his work, another wide-eyed student asked, "You dated someone from our history book?"

How do people live on 50k a year?

I’m 21 and recently got my first real job I would say a few months ago that pays me about 50k a year. My take home is around 2800.

I live at home, debt free, no rent and only have to pay my car insurance, phone bill and a few other stuff each month. I was thinking of moving out before going over the numbers for rent and expenses. But i determined with rent Plus my current expenses I’d have almost zero income left over every month. Even just living at home my paycheque doesn’t last me very.

So how do people with kids, houses and cars afford to do so on this budget it just doesn’t seem possible. I believe the average income is around 60k but even with that amount I don’t see show people make it work without falling behind.
