Re: Alex Honnold Climbers in general have a really lanky build. They are basically carrying their bodyweight up long walls so being bulky is definitely a disadvantage. That's not to say that some climbers aren't extremely muscular

A few companies do, including Uber. The real issue is that the American banking system is insanely slow and outdated so transferring large sums rarely is way more economical than doing small sums frequently. ACH takes 1-3 days. Push-to-debi

Yep, absolutely. However there are ways to bring that into "the system" and regulate and monitor it just like other payroll functions. There is no reason that payday advances couldn't be done without those negative externalit

The way it actually works is that people get payed before their paycheck if they need it at zero interest. When executed correctly there is no debt the money they took is just deducted from their paycheck. This is how payday advances worked

There are far less exploitative options out there for providing this service though. See emerging fintech offerings like: https://www.earnin.com/ , https://www.dave.com/ . There is also a concept called earne

We went really deep on this recently, as we looked to migrate off Keen.io for that exact reason (only time based queries, also it's really slow). We didn't look at MongoDB due to too many people on the team having been burned by i

That exists (or at least it did). I think the name of the app is Flutter, I know Jason Calcanis invested in it and they presented at Launch Fest last year.

I agree with a lot of this. Especially work around credit algorithms and alike is fraught with immoral (or at best amoral) choices. The question is if it is more immoral than working on something like a self-driving car, that is going to ya

Market efficiency and the number of humans involved are unrelated. When people talk about market efficiency they are talking about the markets ability to quickly allocate capital where it is needed at a "fair" price. I think the c

Not going to comment specifically on the judgement (I agree in general terms). However that is a vast mis-understanding of what a lot of the brain power at an investment bank goes towards. It isn't just equities it is fixed-income and

Cleveland is fine if you are reasonably well off. Like many run down urban areas it is currently going through a substantial revival (driven mostly by "hipsters" opening vegan restraunts and the like.) I can only imagine it would

I second Troy (I hate Albany but that is personal preference). They are also reasonably safe considering how improvised they have been in recent times. Prices in Troy are already starting to climb, so get while the getting is good. One thin

This has been brewing for a while. I don't know most of the people involved but they post youtube videos of their meetings. isaacs is involved and get is the creator of npm so that is a good sign. As I understand it this is a direct ba
