Great article; I've always been fascinated by Timbuktu and hope to visit it one day. Here's to hoping it regains its political, economic and social balance soon, so that more organized attention can be directed at staving off the

Yeah... I've been on most founder match sites, including 2 of 3 OP mentioned (FounderDating and CoFoundersLab) and found them to be useless. I'm a generalist (business/techy/industrial design). They are inevitably full

Oh, I absolutely agree there are. Maybe I didn't express myself clearly enough: these types of harassment makes me willing to forgo the legitimate opportunities for anonymity, just to be able to be able to have an environment where su

Not sure why I'm being downvoted for wishing for an environment where people wouldn't be able to send rape/death threats anonymously and responding to the comment (now deleted) that defended such threats as free speech.

These are the sorts of issues that make one wish anonymity online was impossible or always traceable. The cowardice that lives in people is astounding. For those muttering the free speech line: freedom of speech ≠ freedom of consequences.

Good reminder of how new Swift is, given that I've recently seen a couple of LinkedIn profiles already declaring their owners as Swift experts, despite the language being released only ~1.5 months ago.

Why the downvote? What's wrong with expressing why the company in question should not be complacent in face of such aggressive plagiarism/violation by another company?

Way to roll over and play dead in face of such blatant theft. The phrase "we’ve had our own share of Cease & Desist situations" also gives a fleeting reader the impression that the company's being complacent because they

Very cool. DDG should consider displaying the goodies page as default for beginners, with choice to collapse the section in favour of the plain page if desired. It would encourage more experimentation and additions. Suggesting it because

It would be interesting to see what results would be observed if the experiment were repeated in startup land. I.e. 6500 emails with the same specific query in relation to potential career direction or startup-related problem sent to indus

OP, can you clarify why the NDA had not been discussed before building? And did you agree beforehand to her keeping 100% of the equity? If you did, was there any contract/agreement signed to that effect? Also curious to the course str
