I don't have any data, but it might be that Giphy class companies have more or less the same investment share percentage today as they used to before. It's just that the total investment pie grew. There's plenty of useful com

This is very specific for people who work on systems, such as programmers. I have a devshop and have sent his over and over again. The actual cost per employee isn't really paying them salaries to do stuff, but rather the salaries you

Considering that central banks are creating a new norm of negative rates around the world, I doubt that foreign investors who are there to seek yields will go away anytime soon.

Sounds like the bubble is bursting. The established companies whose valuation was based on multiples of future growth are taking the hit, getting in line with more traditional multiples of current revenue.

Uber and Airbnb are most definitely not trivial. Anybody who has ever worked on a remotely complex two sided marketplace project can tell you that. The UI/UX alone is incredibly hard yo nail down. The fact that they made you think that

European companies are a while other thing though. In most big EU corporations you get hired for position, not skill. The position is ranked relative to all other positions and your rank is determined through your school/education. Cas

Aah, this makes a lot more sense. Still, the questions remains. Does it need to be a US C Corp?

Is it global or US-only? I guess US C Corp needed for this?

Chat is definitely becoming the default way of operating small to mid-sized agile teams (Slack specifically for us). It's fascinating how much more productive we have become through it. We're already moving towards completely dist

Have you looked into remote jobs? Honestly, moving to the US is overrated. I'm staying in a developing country myself. Get 50% of a US salary, live on the other aide of the world, live a laid back and cheap life.

You don't actually need absolute time for distributed systems to work, only independently verifiable order. Independent venerability can be achieved through Merkle structures and Merkle proofs. In a way, through the proofs you can comm

Wow. That reads like some misguided cult text.

So we'll just see vertical integration of previously separate firms into well capitalized monoliths again. This might take a but of time, but I can't see why big investors would not do it.

The Swiss example I gave was for staying in Switzerland. I couldn't get a decently paying job in Switzerland as a European (SEE), Swiss citizen, living in Switzerland. At that point I wasn't discussing remote jobs at all. I kid yo

Any South Eastern Europe coast city does it really. I personally like nature and silence every now and then so I stay at Albanian Riviera Villages May-July and Mid-September-October. If you know the young scene and make friends quickly, as

I've been to every major US city. Compared to European or most Asian cities they are simply not walkable. Notable semi-exceptions might be Downtown SF, Manhattan, and Vancouver in Canada. But all of them have serious drawbacks when it

If they go full SaaS I would not be surprized if they go Open Source on Windows itself, seriously. I think for that to happen Nadella needs one big win/turnaround and the shareholders might be on board.

Bitcoin is effectively an oracle service. It creates a random state which is dependent on a previous random state. Generating the state is NP hard, verifying it is P (can be verified in polynomial time). The oracle output state is used for
