Some of these make sense (not that I agree with them), but don't seem peculiar to foster children. But what does this one mean? > so that people don't know you're a foster kid unless you say so. If you post a photo of your

The point is if you can avoid making an app, that's better. Obviously if it has to be an app, then make an app.

Zero, that's my point. It's a waste of time.

Unless you want to hire me or invest, you don't need to make anything of that. Just trust me, 6 months is way too long. Or listen to the cohosts' reaction when he mentions it. Not talking down, just telling it like it is. There is

Oh, it wasn't popular, only got a few thousand downloads, I was hired by a social media app right when I finished my own app so I never had time to market it. Not that I would know how to do that. It was just an experiment.

Have you tried the app? The UX is not that good, you can't resize and move the emojis at the same time, you have to choose one task at a time. Plus you need to put both fingers inside the rectangle it seems, there should be a very gene

Yeah I wouldn't spend a second thinking of that if I were on a high profile podcast like that. Much better to focus on growing that brand.

Why do you need to do that?

I've been a professional iOS developer for a decade. 6 months is way too long for that app. My very first app took 10 weeks, including learning to program, and it was more complex than MaskerAid. And better looking, was even featured i

It's not an attack, it's just a statement. If one purpose is to appear employable, he should not mention that it took him 6 months to write it because that is just too long.

by Grustaf 5y ago
Ok, but he also mentioned it took him 6 months to make it, so those skills might not be quite up to date...

I have kids, and don't mind posting their photos. But if I did, why post at all? It just seems weird. "Here's my son, minus the face. Oh he's so cute!"

I heard him say on some podcast that he thinks there is a possibility for him to make real money on this, but I would say there isn't. Very few people care about this, and almost none of that already small group will have heard of the

I’m saying he probably WOULD win a hypothetical fair election. Or rather, that even my non-Putinist friends think so. Do you have any evidence that this is not the case? Even this brutal war on a brother nation has popular support according

The pro-ness is probably more about extensibility than speed, as you say 20 cores is already plenty for most. And obviously they are not lying about the Mac Pro, marketing is spin, not saying the opposite of the truth.

That's what I thought this was, until I saw the "YC W22" mark.

> In the sense that Putin murders/poisons his political opponents and journalists like Navalny & Politkovskaya, tortures and imprisons activists like Magnitsky and Nadya Tolokno. In that regard, Ukraine is doing much better. But

I'm not saying they "can't make that choice". I'm saying it's a bad idea to make that choice. If Russia tried to invade Sweden, my home country, I would say the same. Resisting an overwhelming force might sound

I mean sure he's planning to "seize all of Ukraine", but I don't think he wanted to make Ukraine a federal subject, at least originally. My theory was always that he wanted to capture Ukraine to force a very favourable (

If you listen to Western media, Ukraine is just another democratic European country. Most Americans probably imagine that it's something like the Czech republic, when in fact it's 50% poorer than Belarus. By the way here's an

As I wrote. Ukraine will obviously defend itself when attacked, with or without the West. And the West has been clear about not helping. But encouraging them to keep fighting, when it seems completely hopeless, is not doing them a service.

There can be more than one reckless party. Putin obviously started the war, and Russia will have suffered huge losses, not to mention the devastating human toll. But do you think Ukraine has a chance here? What is the purpose of fighting? I

Last I read he explicitly said that this was not his goal. When did he say that?

We are not talking about "supporting", we are talking about staging coups and meddling in their internal politics and economy.

There is definitely less violent repression of journalists in Ukraine. But the corruption is worse, and the economy is doing very badly, it's the poorest country in Europe, despite fantastic conditions. I'm obviously not saying it

They're fighting because they are being attacked, and because Slavs are courageous and stubborn. But the West are not telling them to give up, to save civilian lives. Instead they encourage them to keep fighting, delaying the inevitabl

That's exactly what McFaul suggested, and it's frankly absurd. Putin is quite popular, even my modern, non-Putinist friends in Moscow think he would win a fair election. Besides, he never lost an election, it's not that he lo

Instinctively it makes sense that Putin doesn't want NATO on his doorsteps, but at the same time, why not? He already has NATO in the Baltics, and it's not like NATO would try to invade Russia just because they are neighbours. The
