I really love this and would want to use it. However, how do I make sure your service would be around years from now? Any tips for people in the same boat as me who hesitate to put in a lot of efforts in something if there is a risk that it

Am I the only one that finds the title of this article a little bit misleading? These three men represent giant organizations, are responsible to several interests and do not really "control" oil prices in the sense of "fixin

This is an idea in the right direction! HTML5/Javascript/CSS stack is great for making UI. So much effort has been poured into making this stack great that it makes all the sense in the world to make it a standard GUI stack. Now w

Absolutely. As you say, spending a few hundreds bucks is way cheaper than wasting almost half a day of the candidate and our team when we bring someone in and it ends in a no. For remote candidates it makes even more sense since we end up s

Just that firing someone is legal does not mean it is easy. Especially if you have been working closely with the said person for months. And then there are people who are very nice human beings but their performance just isn't good eno

Have you thought about releasing this book with something that makes it easier to read online? For example Gitbook: https://yumedzi.gitbooks.io/python-book/content . I am sure here are others as well.

This answer will get me negative points but I must speak my mind. (1) Yes, coming from a rich family helps. A lot. You get the cushion and above all you get the right life advice. Your probability of success increases. (2) Yes, coming from

Where can I find out if this applies to founder stocks as well? And as a founder what can I do to qualify for this?

Interesting. How does this compare to WebRTC based peer-to-peer file transfer like perhaps https://simplewebrtc.com/filetransfer as an example?

I love Python. But honestly speaking, the point raised in this article is fairly trivial. I would not, not learn Go just because there are small differences in the way reference / pointers work. I do not see this as an inherent shortco

Is this a standard blog design or is the author of this post also a very creative designer? I am really impressed both by the content and the design of this post.

Heard similar stuff from a friend who used to work at AirBnb. He was an ex-Facebook engineer who quit AirBnB even before his stocks vested because we was so unhappy at this company. I am really surprised. Things are going well for them as a

Meanwhile illegal immigrants to the country have been put on a fast track path to citizenship. No diversity rules seem to have been applied there. A simple matter of petty politics?
