That's not quite right what I have in mind. It solve part of the issue, the maintainability of 10+ integrations, but it is not really the biggest pain point. The biggest pinpoint is having 10 different service that gives you quite the

Probably the biggest challenge I had in my last startup was setting up the analytics platform. Obviously building an analytics platform wasn't the top priority (probably the last). So you put Google Analytics on your website, then you

This article is very interesting but fails to address one point. Why companies go for "Flat" or "Holocracy" organizations? I know three reasons: - People tend to hate managers, they don't trust them. - Flat team are

No. Imagine tomorrow a new RFC suggest to use the reserved bit for something meaningful. Any implementation that check that bit and drop the packet if the bit is 1 is broken immediately, even if it is not impacted. True story, some years ag

The article raises the issue for computer security but computer science is used in many other fields where it could have ethical implications. Self-driving cars is on top of my mind, but for sure other applications has issue too. So I agree

I like your proposal in theory but I doubt it works in practice. I'll try to explain: in practice what First Round has done is measuring post investment performance. I'm pretty sure that if the sample is big enough you will have a

That assumes that the company reaches the IPO and its value holds. And still I don't get how lower they must be priced to be comparable to a growing startup, even risk adjusted. (And consider that the IRS could have something to say...

If they are from a "treaty country"[1] they could apply for an E-2[2] investor Visa given that at least 50% of the company is owned by entities from the treaty country (easy at that stage) and you could demonstrate a substantial i

The idea is amazing. I just wonder if he had also implemented the Chromosomal Crossover in the "sex" function. From his description of the results it seems so, but he hadn't described it and it seems an interesting part to ex

I tried both and i prefer Redis over Memcached except for very simple use cases. It is true that for a pure caching system Memcached is easier to setup, easier to scale and faster. But by just a small margin. On the opposite side, Redis pro

So you have retention. Being long tail means that probably the users does not open your app every day and measuring retention could be challenging. For gauging retention I would look at two number, times the app is opened each month (per us

The problem with your question is that you don't understand retention (nor the author of the post explain it well). Retention in theory is not that I buy from your service every day. Retention is that, whenever I need your type of serv

Yes, this is usually a problem. A better way to use cProfile is to run it and save the results in a pStat file and then, in iPython you can load the file using the Stats class [0]. With the class you could easily change the ordering without
