   The thing is, even if you want to hold yourself to a simple React-only app, the moment you want to leverage someone else's work, you are thrown into the shark-infested waters of the React ecosystem. I think React is very cool, and I ha

   That sounds like a great idea for the OP. Although any company with some traction won't be so easy to take over.

   Definitely, just going through YC rejects there must be at least one that has a great idea :) .

   Thanks for the links, they make sense - I've always had trouble with blind "you should unit test" advice, but especially the video explains the reasoning very well :)

   Is the altwork a real thing or a satire? (I honestly can't tell). Looks uncomfortable, like a dentist's chair (but maybe is amazing once you get in it).

   I have 2, I'm pretty sure plenty of people have me beat :). I've read of people that were accepted on their 2nd or 3rd submission. I even think they have statistics on that. Drew Houston / Dropbox is the most famous example.

    That's what they do at the company I work for (I'm at a remote location so I'm 100% remote for them). I think it's the kind of setup that works best, for some kinds of software projects.

    I had to Google it... not everyone knows all the music out there :) but they definitely Googled it before settling on that name !

    I definitely agree that luck plays a part, but I like a phrase I've seen often here about "increasing your luck surface". https://plus.google.com/116160612483689327039/posts/b3FPV13d... Also mention

    Works fine in Spanish, but I can imagine other languages having trouble. I'm actually pretty impressed by Alexa's voice recognition so far.

    That's a good tip, maybe for everyone - have an offsite backup (Gmail works, iCloud, whatever), with photos of your valuables, your place, etc.

    Whoosh! I guess :) . Thanks. Sometimes it's hard distinguishing what's reality from fiction in the U.S. from South America :) I could definitely see homeless people turning to a virtual world to avoid their dreary lives much as th

    Could you elaborate? That sounds crazy! ("VRing while driving") Are there any news articles about that?

    Unfortunately that's how it works for companies today - they know they can pay less depending on where you live (even within the same country, like SF vs Midwest US).

    Ok, getting paid in local currency sucks. I work for an U.S. company from Uruguay and I get paid in USD.

    I live in Uruguay and I don't earn "SF money", a 70k paycheck would be huge here (and in Argentina as well). And to avoid the currency inflation you should of course choose to earn in U.S. dollars, or negotiate to be tied to

    Good question. However, I'm rooting for them "We founded MessageBird in 2011 after experiencing firsthand how poor the quality of service of most communication providers was at the time". It's 2017 and the incumbent (Twi

    They do still sell them ($8000 now), not sure if they're still sold in Russia but they sell very well in Uruguay. The BYD F3 is ridiculously cheap! (and good looking, I'm actually considering it when I manage to sell my 15 year ol

    That car probably doesn't meet US safety standards (most of the Chinese cars don't). China has cars for 4.000 USD that don't make the American market, many built in the same factory (we have lots of those here in Uruguay).

    Buying an existing team probably makes more sense than starting one. And if they tried to hire all 100 they'd probably be exposed to a lawsuit (plus they'd end spending a lot on bonuses and relocations anyways)

    It cuts both ways, there's "webrooming" too: https://www.shopify.com/retail/why-retailers-should-embrace-... It does cut into their margins, they can't be way more expensive than online.

    The Argentinean site was created by an Equifax-acquired company that was called Veraz (that's why the site is called Veraz). Most of the Equifax subsidiaries used to be different companies, and when I worked there they all had differen

    I didn't "get" the Venus project, but I am wary of "designed" cities, they aren't very liveable (see: Brazilia or Astana).

    Not always. The newer Qualcomm chips consume significantly less battery due to changing to 14nm and 10nm processes. Switching to OLED (as Apple did) also increases battery life.
