For some reason all the datapoints seems to be shifted a few miles south-west.

i think the mapcn package i'm using. i think it's best if change it, honestly.
it got mangled up, when i started plotting a certain number of pins.

You have some kind of bias in the dataset or the visualization. It's showing places in "Boston" to be south east of the city in a completely different location.

it's the mapcn package i'm using. after i plotted 300 points, the spacing got fucked up. just the spacing tho. everything else works.

I’m still getting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN for apparent.social from Thailand. Might be a DNS propagation or regional DNS issue?
well, this solves their biggest problem of sourcing newer startups. which is the whole reason they made their emails public. they're def open to newer ideas and startups that they could fund.

Does the post explain how the data was obtained? Or is it simply some kind of scraped list to get attention?
west_subject 17 hours ago [-]
i collected and curated it over the months. Also, what attention? this is free for all. always will be.

i'm sorry, I meant attention of the project (as in surfacing it). It'd be worth specifying your methodology somewhere in the page. That is arguably an important piece of important.

And here's a similar list of 3400 VCs who suddenly find themselves a lot less open to cold email
i dont think so tbh. they willingly made their emails open to the public. they have a sourcing problem for all we know

great, this helps no one
west_subject 17 hours ago [-]
well, this helps people who're having trouble finding out public facing email addresses of investors at various VC firms. thought i'd make it easier for founders to reach out to GPs and angels who'd wanna talk.
philippz 35 minutes ago [-]
yeah but all you'll cause with this is spam and they open doors will close. let founder do the work and figure it out themselves.
sorry if you had some trouble opening it up.
