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?
Does the post explain how the data was obtained? Or is it simply some kind of scraped list to get attention?
west_subject 24 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.
west_subject 3 hours ago [-]
duly noted. I agree it's worth specifying the methodology.

Were previously open to cold emails
west_subject 24 hours ago [-]
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.

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 24 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 7 hours 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.
west_subject 3 hours ago [-]
that's a very one dimensional way of looking at it. investors made it public, knowing full well that they'd get a bunch of emails. that's what they want too.

LMAO yes, so are the bay area ones. I used mapcn ,which is a free tool to make those pins. it kinda got mangled up in the process.
