Making decisions that optimize outcomes for current founders over ex-founders is not the same as assuming there won't be founder disputes or exits. I just think it creates better incentives.

This is "current founder friendly" behavior on the part of Sam. I would argue if you're founding a company that's optimal for you, and you shouldn't be planning for a contingency where you will become an ex founder.

Would it be contradictory to be OK with this argument but against the logic of the Citizens United ruling?

I'm tentatively happy with our move to GCE as well, although we need to live with it more. What really delights me is the quality of the web dashboard, command line tool, and the ability to open web based SSH windows with a single clic

The current poor areas we have in America are still connected by market forces - jobs, social service providers, affordable housing, transit, road infrastructure, and others. Short of being subsistence farmers they cannot break too far off

To expand on his migration point, I worry that BI will create inland ghettos where the BI allowance is enough on it's own to cover the cost of living. At least some people would choose this lifestyle. Over time these ghettos would evol

Surely you can protect against a fork - other licenses do.

Can anyone explain why this would not work: 1. Modify the license for django to stipulate that companies using the software must display a highly visible 'powered by the free version of Django' badge on their website. 2. Allow tha

What will the pricing be like?

Isn't it the same today for Finland? They have extensive social benefits already, and this plan is mostly just a restructuring of the current wealth redistribution schemes in place. I assume you only give BI benefits to full residents.

I don't have the data, but that's intuitively correct. Time does matter some when it comes to the corrosion of the underframe (in states that salt roads), dried gaskets, weather damage to paint. But miles matter for everything els

"the regional effects of those redwoods are tiny in comparison to the "robust ecosystem" of mushrooms that grows in their shadow." If "regional effects" follow a power law this isn't true. We know valuatio

I read PG as saying, "You can't fix exponential forces with linear solutions." Furthermore I got the impression PG's essay is in favor of progressive reform such as reduced incarceration rates and even something like bas

Wealth inequality may be a problem broadly but it doesn't invalidate his argument about incentives in drug production.

We use parse with stripe. The client drives the transaction and then stripe hits your parse cloud function via webhook with the confirmation.

In pursuit of a low battery foot print and low memory foot print the "wake up word" technology is really just a trained ML classifier running locally to identify a specific 3+ syllable phrase. They don't start sending everyth

What about for a short loop? Can it cache some frames so that could be fast?

"50% of being a startup is about communication" - this is only true if you believe being a startup is about being in the tech news cycle, which I guess he does.

Spotify very much cares - Advertisers ultimately will measure clicks and if listens increase without clicks increasing, the payout from ads will drop.

Another pattern you can use (and we do for one of our apps) is to make a google sheet with all the information you need and then write a python script which pulls down the information and transforms it into the json/xml/whatever y

Wouldn't you want an area with both? I may be missing the context of London's culture - but if 'up and coming' means 'being gentrified' wouldn't you want to pick an area that has a barbell distribution of

What if the chromecast was allowed to transfer wifi network details (either for a secure or unsecure) network over NFC for the phone to temporarily connect to? That's a cool feature even if you don't plan to use the chromecast.

To add to this: try to live like you are still in college as long as you can stand it. If you have very low interest student loans, pay them off at the minimum rate and save the cash - you will need it to launch the startup. And if then you
