Hinge: From $1M to $400M, A Dating App Success Story


🈸Dating app Hinge has experienced remarkable financial growth, jumping from less than $1 million in revenue in 2017 to a projected $400 million in 2023. CEO Justin McLeod attributes this success to word-of-mouth marketing and a focus on authenticity. The company's improved technology has made it 20 times more effective in setting up dates, debunking the idea of gatekeeping top matches.

🌍Hinge's expansion and advertising strategy hinge on helping users get more dates, fostering rapid growth. McLeod anticipates positive disruption from AI, making dating more efficient and enabling more curated matches.

LG’s newest 32-inch 4K monitor is a looker with a smart TV inside

LG’s MyView displays will run webOS, which gives them a nice advantage over other more mundane monitors, according to LG’s announcement: they should be able to kind of work like a Chromebook, using cloud services like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace without being tethered to another computer.

Climate tech might be the hot job market in 2024
Tim De Chant

One of the major stories that defined the tech sector in 2023 was layoffs. Companies large and small shed over 240,000 jobs in the last year, and while the trend has cooled of late, it hasn’t stopped, with nearly 7,000 jobs cut in November alone.
But there have been bright spots. Climate tech is one sector that has been hiring, and 2024 looks like it will be continuing the trend.
Clean energy jobs have grown 10% in the past two years, outpacing the economy as a whole, according to a report by industry group E2 . Through 2032, when the Inflation Reduction Act is set to expire, the fastest-growing job fields include wind turbine technician (45% growth) and solar photovoltaic installer (22% growth), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics

Generative AI: Transforming education into a personalized, addictive learning experience

ChatGPT has already assumed the role of an ad hoc personal tutor for millions, changing learning consumption patterns and enhancing our relationship with education. The possibility of an AI-powered teaching assistant — one that mentors, encourages, and guides learners through the material in a one-to-one relationship — is within grasp. And the scalability of AI means that anyone can benefit from it.

TikTok aims to grow its TikTok Shop business tenfold to $17.5B in 2024

With this goal, TikTok would not only be looking to take on Amazon, but also fellow Chinese-owned companies Temu and Shein, both of which have become popular in the U.S. But TikTok has something the other two companies don’t, which is an extremely popular social media network that could leverage viral videos to reach buyers

Researchers successfully 3D print hand with bones, ligaments and tendons

For the first time, researchers have successfully printed a robotic hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different types of polymers. The breakthrough was possible thanks to a new laser technique.

Researchers ETH Zurich, who conducted the work, believe it opens up new possibilities for the production of robotic structures that combine soft, elastic and rigid materials.

"Robots made of soft materials, such as the hand we developed, have advantages over conventional robots made of metal. Because they're soft, there is less risk of injury when they work with humans, and they are better suited to handling fragile goods," ETH Zurich robotics professor Robert Katzschmann explained.

Rust Programming language Is Getting Extremely Popular

Rust has been Stack Overflow’s most loved language for many years in a row.
Most developers using it really love it and more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.
Rust is also getting popular amongst new developers who aim to write safe/ stable and concurrent/ scalable applications.
Here are some of the reasons that made Rust popular
1. High Speed & Performance
It provides high-level abstractions that compile to efficient machine code as if you wrote the low-level code by hand as in C/ C++.
2. Memory Safety Without A Garbage Collector
A Garbage collector automatically frees up memory that is no longer in use by periodically checking which objects in memory are still accessible and which are not.
