It depends a lot on the product and the audience, but from my experience, you are never going to get results with your first $500 or $1000 on Facebook Ads, regardless your background. It takes a lot of trial and error just to understand w

OTOH time is relative to the observer and certain universe phenomena, such as black holes, can distort how time passes in different points of the space dimension. The general idea that a point in time is how we define a particular snapshot

By supporting natively I mean provide a layer of APIs that let developers interact with the phone and in particular with the display at a low level, while still writing JS; I imagine that if you could draw on the screen bypassing canvases a

C is always going to be faster than almost anything you compare it to, of course. But the V8 interpreter is also not 5000% slower; for computationally intensive tasks it's not actually significantly slower. The problem in OP's cas

IIRC the "fat people hate" sub was banned because they started doxxing people, which the admins considered crossed the line. It should have been banned earlier though.

Personally, both as a consumer and as founder, I feel like intros like these come across as a bit aggressive, like I can almost read into the email that you want to sell me something. I prefer an intro of the lines of "Hey, glad to see

Or more likely because if you are a VC funded company there's a certain expectation that you should build a scalable revenue stream beyond donations from passionate users.

Yes, let's crack down on porn and make it a taboo again, that way when kids grow up into young adults they can have no idea what they're doing and catch their STDs they way it's meant to. In fact, let's protect kids from

The point is not to never do paid marketing, but to make sure that you have something in motion that doesn't rely 100% on paid marketing before you do. If people are talking about your product, paid marketing can help amplify the signa

Fun fact: The ssh-agent equivalent for Windows that ships with PuTTY (pageant) has a limited amount of memory reserved to store the actual keys (8kb) which causes it to stop responding when more than 25 keys or so are used. Because they hav

Where does this rhetoric come from? Trump has made remarks that are inherently racist and sexist, whether you agree or disagree with him.

Assistant has a little bit more conversational skills going by their Allo implementation, but otherwise the difference is mostly marketing. I assume that Google will eventually phase out (or stop supporting) Google Now voice commands in fav

Not the first internet browser on a phone though, just a vastly superior UX to what had been done before.

Heck, this is my #1 complaint of almost anything on a mobile browser. It's easily the worst offender when it comes to mobile in general; I wish browser vendors put a bigger focus on fixing this, somehow.

The only thing I can picture is them "exploiting" Twitter to push new films and releases to their will, but the consequences of this would be disastrous for the future of Twitter. Honestly, at this point Twitter would be better of

LetsEncrypt still has some limitations though, namely no wildcard certificates, which means you need to issue and update certificates for every subdomain individually. Certbot helps, but it's still a hassle at a certain scale. We'

Call me cynical, but I still don't believe that you can clone a endless runner game, slap Mario on it, and expect it to be successful on mobile. I get that it's a big deal that Nintendo and Super Mario are coming to mobile, but as

Your product has to be absolutely extraordinary to pass such an extensive list of vetting partners [1], in which case there's a good chance you would do fine selling on your own and generating your own word of mouth buzz if you ask me.
