I'd do it right before releasing the product if you don't need to do it earlier. You should track money in/out now, don't wait until the company it setup. You can claim expenses on the company even if those expenses were

Their abilities as developers are judged by what they deliver. Obviously they need to deliver before they can call someone else's code "shit", or at least before they can say that and be taken seriously...

I've known outstanding guru-level engineers that were that blunt when I was a student. You need to know the person. In my experience most of them are very nice guys. It's just that when they think something is not that great they

You sold something. What happens to it after that is no longer your concern. At least you are a shareholder of a company that has just made a good deal in cash. But from what you wrote it seems that that company is privately held, so your s

What is "plenty" for you? Because 10 out of 170 just in one YC cohort suggests "plenty" of them out there...

There are plenty of startups in spaces like electric vehicles, renewable energy, energy saving, food production, etc. This is tackling climate change.

Yes, it's called the Republic of China...

That's not useless at all, that's very important and that's the point. Ask Chinese, ask Koreans. Also ask Germans or Vietnamese. You could also ask Foxcomm's founder.

"China" claims it is part of the People's Republic, which it is indeed not. But both sides agree that it is China. Like Korea includes both North and South even if there are two states.

Which makes it a Chinese company, yes...

I think we should further make a difference between the existence of a god and religion. Atheism is significantly driven by the rejection of religion. The existence of a god can be discussed and indeed we do not know. However religions are

HK benefited from people and businesses' flight from the communists (Shanghai was the main business centre) then from being the gateway to China. These quirks of history are mostly gone now and thus HK's relative importance is bou

It's the 'person' in a totally different sense than what this article discusses.

by ElBarto 8y ago
Well, again that is not the same thing. It's about 'personhood' only in the sense of existence. To quote Wikipedia: "While other knowledge could be a figment of imagination, deception, or mistake, Descartes asserted that

Wow. Great thanks. I'll try not to express individual thoughts in the future to fit into the collective.

My understanding is that the cogito isn't mere existence but that it is proof of mere existence. A baby, like everything else in the world, is something you perceive through your senses and that you can thus never be sure really exists

by ElBarto 8y ago
This profoundly misunderstands Descartes. Descartes is about proving existence through doubt. If you start doubting everything around you, what is left is your own mind that must exist since it is thinking and doubting. It has nothing to do

Talking about overestimating something... Now please leave me alone and find someone else to troll.

Stop digging, please. It's unclear only to you.

You are proving his point by being so dishonest and insulting me, and downvoting everything. And you guys are the ones taking things in unproductive directions by refusing to address or discuss the point of my initial comment (and you even

My comment was crystal clear. It is as plain a reference to American influence as can be, nothing more.

Friendly advice to German telecom companies's CEOs can be an effective 'tool'... But must guess is that Germany will be very careful and still let Huawei have a footprint in the country because Germany is a heavy investor in

Yeah, but what about the experience? You could already have pure vending machines serve what baristas serve you at Starbucks, Costa, whatever, you would get exactly the same product and it's close to what happens in reality. But people

by ElBarto 8y ago
What do your comments add to my actual point? I obvious know that it is not an actual vending machine at the moment... But it is in all but name. Humans in Costa don't add any value to your cup. They might make you feel better, though,

by ElBarto 8y ago
I observed in Costa and others... Even when they use en espresso machine (because perhaps you ordered an espresso), it makes no difference to the final product if that is automated entirely. A standard espresso machine requires a human only

Well, they can't make it too obvious, can they. But it is basically it. Employees do no more than employees at say, McDonald's. In fact probably less. Push a button, right amount of coffee pours into cup. Move cup. Push button, ri

In most of those chain coffee shops what you get is a coffee vending machine with a human arm to move the cup.
