I use Obsidian and I also gave notion a try. The good thing about notion is that yiu can access your notes on your phone, tablet, ... . However, the user experience is so bad. Notion has very slow UI and it hasn't got any better for a

Ah ok, I see. I did not understand you correctly and I fully agree with you. Thanks for clarifying.

What bugs me the most is that when you talk about engineering or even search for anything engineering-related all that ever shows up is software engineering. It's become much harder to find information about more classical engineering

Research proposals are not supposed to necessarily solve current real-life problems so there is nothing inherently wrong with that. But given the amount of startups coming out of universities, the mindset is crazily wrong. So many people co

Maybe not perfect, but Ask HN (or Show HN?) could be a place to ask this question.

Solutions in search of a problem (SISP) are not necessarily tied to low interest rates. What might be tied to them is that companies with such solutions live longer because money is cheap. However, if you never make money, noone will give y

Something I would consider as very weird. Not sure what a good answer is to be honest, but this feels like some kind of boundary. Might be different in different cultures, but yea.

I just don't think deep domain expertise makes you a better recruiter. You need to have deep domain expertise in recruiting with all its facets. Then, you need a working knowledge of the domain you are recruiting for. Having a little e

The recruiter needs to understand a different market than an engineer. Recruiters also don't come into play when you can easily fill the position. The harder it becomes the more relevant a good recruiter becomes. Are there plenty of

> Engineers understand the technology and market That's where you are wrong. A lot of engineers don't understand the market. Anyway, I am not sure what you want to achieve. Engineers are not traded, but can make choices on wher

Will be interesting to see your future insights. There are plenty of open source projects from successful companies, but it's never their core IP. Fully open source business models seem to be rare and tend to be consulting services or

So, you are looking for investors for whom gods plays a role?

by Shinmon 4y ago
Not an investor, but the question itself is already pretty interesting. I believe that no VC that you want to get funding from makes God a part of their decision process. Money is their religion ;) However, God or more specifically religion

Too many red flags. I wouldn't even want to continue working with them as a contractor from what you have described here. Sounds like they are looking primarily for cheap labor to work for them while them being on a power trip. Good fo

It's as much the end of art as photoshop was. It will only change the way art is created. Some people want to look at real paintings hanging somewhere. Others want AI created art.

I tend to believe that most developers want to have control over their dev environment. Rarely have I seen two devs use the same setup. Everyone uses different IDEs, editors, additional tools, etc. Actually, I would argue that a not too sma

This is a real good insight here. I have seen too many founders think they need world-class tech to create value. Perfectionism is your worst enemy if you want to provide value. A lot of companies are not build upon world-class top-notch th

That sounds like a messy situation. Has the company been founded? It seems like it, but your headline suggests otherwise. Figure out the following: 1. Who (legally) owns the code you wrote? 2. Have you talked to the founders? What is your g

The question should be, how many of them are successful. I believe you can be successful without necessarily knowing a lot about the industry in the beginning. However, you need to talk to people in that industry about their problems. You w

Was skeptical when I read the title but that's actually not too bad. Makes a lot of sense to educate people with information relevant to them.

You are being asked those questions because you are seen as an expert in the matter or as an "authority" (by expertise) in general. First, I think it should be okay to answer "I don't know" if you don't know. I

Yep. Some states still have a permanent contract for a senior assistant. Depending on how well the professor negotiates their terms they might be lucky if they get a second one. However, this is rarely the case unless you are a well-sought

Something similar is implemented in many German airports for EU citizens and it greatly reduces the time to enter the country. I know, this is some kind of privacy intrusion but if you are traveling by plane, you have already no privacy lef

This is definitely a problem in Germany as well. The water head of universities become bigger and bigger while research and teaching staff is being kept on fixed-term contracts. This is a disgrace and hurts the research in the short term an

A full career switch will likely be hard. For everyone working on stable diffusion or GPT3 there probably 1000s of people working on rather mundane tasks in ML (nothing wrong with that). If I were you I would leverage your existing knowledg

Continuous content generation is super critical. Not sure how youtube works in this regard but at least on LinkedIn, you need to be active regularly to get some reach. What I see quite often is, that "creators" try to get people t

Good question. If you already make a few hundred bucks from making videos, I think you are on a good track. Do you make money through Patreon or from advertisment? Some things to think about: * Can you generate leads from your YouTube chann

I heard a CEO of a venture backed "green hydrogen" startup (valued at 1 Billion) say in a talk that they will only be profitable if society changes its habits and is willing to pay more for energy. Not sure how true that is and wi

Most companies just don't have any idea how to manage remote teams at all. The transition is definitely is not easy for companies who did not have a remote culture in place already. I guess some overlap is beneficial because sometimes
