Startups give stock options because they feel they have to in order to attract talent. The startups can't compete with Google/Apple/Microsoft when it comes to the base salary, they simply don't have the cash or revenues

When you don't take VC money, you're free to run your company as you like. Basecamp sounds like an awesome place to work for both Jason and his employees.

I've recently been experimenting with pure SVG and React, which seems like a really good fit. Just draw SVG in your render function as naively as possible, and let React figure out the DOM transitions. Super easy to debug and reason ab

New development in for example NYC has very strict requirements on how much noise can pass through walls, ceilings and floors. I live in a tower that was just finished in 2015, the floor-to-ceiling windows are double-pane glass (no air gap,

How on earth does taking capital derisk your startup? It's like throwing gasoline on a bonfire, yes it burns a lot faster, but also shorter. Early money is the most expensive money you'll ever take, and if you're reliant on i

The last 10 years has seen major global progress, let alone the last century, wars included. People always love to think they're at the pinnacle. The future will be far more fantastic than either of us could possibly imagine, because i

The risk is too great. To give humanity immortality at this immature age would be like giving a cave man a fully functional nuclear bomb. No matter how useful nuclear power is to us in this day and age. Imagine if King Henry VIII had someho

Sure. See slavery, interracial marriages, racism in general, LGBT acceptance etc. The world is now more liberal not because people suddenly saw the light and became accepting, but because old people who would never accept these things fortu

Immortality will mean the stagnation of humanity. Max Planck said "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation

IntelliJ IDEA is crazy cheap if you're being paid as a software developer or have developers on your payroll. I wish there was more software like it that can just instantly make all my developers more effective. The cost is so minuscul

Don't I wish that were true. Off the top of my head, I know for a fact that a few of the Splinter Cell series games are impossible to run nowadays, and other games that used the same Ubi DRM too. And I just can't seem to get the o

A subscription model doesn't automatically exclude running old versions after you stop the subscription, see for example the IntellIJ by Jetbrains model. The "available in the next version" effect of one-time purchased softwa

If you enjoy those services... yes? If not, feel free not to! I love and subscribe to all of the above, they provide me with capabilites that were simply not available before, such being able to stream any song I can imagine instantly. Heck

Many, perhaps even most, popular mobile apps have some sort of online component that will surely stop working if the business is closed. And apps made for an OS two releases back or more regularly seem to stop working if not updated. I know

Amazon is one of the most frugal companies I know, penny-pinching is built into their DNA and one of the reasons IMO they're not a pleasant place to work. Amazon actively chooses to invest every cent they make into expansion (with grea

A big company that is profitable is invariably found to have evolved from a small company that was profitable. A big company created from scratch is never profitable and cannot be patched up to become profitable. You have to start over with

If it's only worth $5 to you (~ one mobile game), it can't be that big a pain in the ass. The correct price lies somewhere between $0 and the cost for you (or a CPA, $80-150/h) to do it. A percentage is fine too, as it's

Take 1000 people, have each predict a coin flip 10 times. The top 10 players will have predicted way better than random chance would have you believe. Why several of them are even 10 for 10, they must have special prediction powers! ;) Grow

As an Android game dev, I'm not sure I like it. How is this not distributing my copyrighted material without permission? Just because my app is available free of charge, doesn't mean it can be freely distributed by the website own
