I had issues with intermittent charging of 6S so I upgraded to 2nd gen SE. I didn’t want larger screen so 11 wasn’t the option. I personally don’t like SE. The Touch ID is crap, it is not an actual button that presses so touching or pressin

I would love to see a decent search engine. Google search has gone down the toilet. Most Google search results are ads or SEO optimized junk. It was funny once when I was searching for a medical term, all articles on first page were clearly

Six figures include a wide range from $100,000 to $999,999. If you are near upper range, you could sell 10-30% to take some money of the table. If you are at the lower range, either you can sell or keep everything. Without knowing anything

The readability of lot of web articles tend to be quite poor as they are written from viewpoint of SEO rather than readability. I rarely can read complete web article unless it was published in a paper magazine or newspaper. HN used to be g

Readers think of Reddit title as discussion prompts. The combination of subreddit theme and post title can easily start a discussion on “close enough” topic. One of the suggestion for increasing engagement is to disable link posts and only

I use Zipline. It serves the purpose. Typically, you need to decide what instrument you want to trade, and look at what backtesting software provides the best support for that instrument. Not all s/w cover all instruments. If you have

I guess, like China, USA is becoming authoritarian state. It is not about reciprocity. USA was considered the beacon of success and role model compared to China. Recent actions by USA justify other countries to do the same against foreign p

Too many ideas are a good kind of problem. If you can’t decide, throw a dart and pick one. Low hanging fruits picked at low cost is the key. If you like creating, just create. Don’t worry about marketing. Overtime, you will figure out. If y

First, I will suggest reading $100 startup. What skills do you have? Based on your skills, find low hanging fruits and go for them. No need to think too much or do any validation etc. Take a shotgun approach. Launch bunch of small projects

Nope, Microsoft dominance was already well established by 1997, about 7 years with Windows and DOS.

I am not sure what is your argument. Google and Facebook didn’t even exist in 1997 and Amazon was still in basement of Bezos home.

What was the alternative in 1997? None? Windows 95 was on every office desktop. It was the only desktop OS most companies bought. I can’t recall another desktop OS widely available. OS from Apple was a niche, mostly in education and desktop
