How about using two browsers? one of emails or banking and another one for regular browsing?

Good point about the quality and price of hotels varying according to the city. Guess Airbnb business will be more successful in places like London than Berlin or Lisabon (Lisboa?).

I used to go to four stars hotels in London at my previous job for business trips, costing like 100-200 pounds a night, and really I didn't like it so much. The rooms had a TV with some light on it that was disturbing my sleep, sometim

It's not specified nowhere what you are getting for your $12K and mentoring. Could you expand on that? Are you taking equities?

If you want to speculate, how about the possibility of uploading people's mind to a robot? Let's say that we are able to send outer space a bunch of self replicating robots (they can travel to various planets and build a copy of t

People whose pensions are invested in VC funds would lose money. Don't forget that VC money comes in a large part from pension funds.

Through non compete agreements specified in the contract maybe? That person is not literally forced to work for you but can't work for a competitor where his/her skills will be the most valuable.

Don't you know that we live in a world where anybody who can run couple of machine libraries in Python can call himself/herself "Data Scientist"? No need to understand the underlying algorithms!

I'm surprised. I don't know much about Homejoy but I read once that it was the company in the YC portfolio that has the highest growth, so I thought they would become a unicorn at some point. What happened to them?

I am not affiliated with Afrostream, but they currently serve only French speaking countries (France, Belgium, Switzerland in Europe and Senegal and Ivory in Africa). My guess is that the founders are from Senegal or Ivory and want to tackl

No, there are 27 combinations(when you still account for the fact that you can have three windows machines). You can see it in that way: machine1: L, machine2: W, machine3: O machine1: L, machine2: W, machine3: W The reason why it matters i

The topics you mention are maths or applied maths topics. "Data Science" is a bubbly term that roughly means "take that big dump of data and give me some advice on how to make more money", so your list, very sadly, has l

I would disagree with that advice. If you work as a data scientist in a company, you will likely have the logs of something stored in an SQL table (be it pure SQL database or something like hadoop hive) and you will have to answer (and ask)

For 11 I think you're wrong because you forgot the part: "As minutes pass, you begin to vaguely remember lurking in your basement and typing the command ':(){ :|: & };:' in an xterm session just before everything w

On the other hand, many people don't want to touch with a ten foot pole a website that doesn't look "sexy".

Probably a naive question, but why is it the case? we have the basic formula of thermodynamic: PV = nRT , with n and R being constant, so if I keep the volume the constant and decrease the temperature, it would decrease the pressure P

HN could use that on shadowbanned people. Now they would get replies to their comments.

I suspect in most of the countries in EU you can go without visa for 3 months - your US passport grants you a tourist visa. When you go to another country, you get a new visa for that country, which means that you could stay in Europe for a

Understanding the product doesn't require to know in what language it has been built (unless you're selling a library that can be called from a certain language but I don't think that the kind of product we have in mind here)

At the time I am writing this (6 hours after submission), I get a "site not found" error from GitHub. Has this been taken down? EDIT: well, the repo is here: https://github.com/walsh/gba

That depends. I quit my job about a year ago to work on my own thing, and sometimes people think I am a weirdo. I am based in Spain, so a bit different from what you might have in the US in communities of young programmers.

It's fun for a while, but boy do I hope this chat is not the future.

Yes, when I was student I used sometimes to include maths formulas in chats with my friends. Something like this would have been quite helpful.

A dedicated chan on IRC maybe? EDIT: Also: I might take part if the "Finish it" weekend takes place, provided my wife takes care of the kids long enough.

Thank you for pointing Kernel. I never heard about it but it looks powerful. Have you built something with it?

+1. What michaelochurch seems to ignore is that it is now so easy and cheap to start alone and without investment something with a non zero probability that people will want. It's not easy - I am trying to do that, so far unsuccessfu

My guess is that IDEs and debuggers will be more integrated with what's available online. Let's say you have a compiling error. Currently you look up on google the error message the compiler gives you and most likely get a stackov
