This isn't just something Soylent pushes, either. This is a lifestyle that was crafted really carefully over many years that is at the core of 'startup culture.' It's ironic that we're talking about that "alway

I mean the great thing about fallacies is their content isn't important. It's their structure that makes them flawed in leading to the truth. The examples, as a result, are something you can safely ignore, whether or not they&#x27

This is so cool. Also what convinced you to go Android-first? Any discoveries that were especially surprising there?

Yeah, I think this is probably true. Hume was trying to argue that normative statements can't be reduced to or derived from natural statements about how the world is; Nagel's fighting the reduction of consciousness to positive, ob

I wondered the same thing. If they launched another location for YC, I would hope they wouldn't just do it because it's in the same timezone, because dang would Toronto be way better.

One thing I'll say — it doesn't just make things faster. It makes things so much tastier. Any stewing or braising dish gets done much quicker, and the meat retains so much more moisture while still getting its connective tissues b

I really strongly agree that the current messaging suggests that you should only use it if you don't trust the other person, and that it's at least partly caused by the 'prenup' language. But as a tagline, "2fa for

I feel you. Right now, we do have a node.js client that works with synced Realms, but it's only currently available to Pro and Enterprise customers. We're still exploring the best way to open up server-side coding to our Developer

For a while, most non-Macbook Air 'ultrabooks' were hampered by the fact that they had to have an ethernet port, or I guess enterprises wouldn't buy them? It was weird. The whole entire computer ended up being designed around

You need a real, honest-to-goodness launch to get enough feedback and traffic to tell you anything. If you just made it and no one's visiting, then (depending on who your target market is) find someone who can submit it to Product Hunt

For someone who has no idea what RISC-V is but loves making things with Arduino, what new things could I do with this?

Anecdotally, I lived in Coal Harbour in Vancouver when I first moved here. The newest waterfront condos were ~30 stories tall, and on average, you'd see three lights on at night in them. It's not like that everywhere here, but it

I know a lot about libertarian viewpoints. I think they largely ignore reality in favour of positing stronger property rights as an unfalsifiable solution to what have proven to be systemic and intractable problems. You don't appear to

Here's some math that should make this make sense to non-Vancouverites: A 1200sqft bungalow across the street from me sold for $2.8mm four months ago; it's now back on the market for $3.2mm. If you put 20% down, that'd be a m

I personally am worried not about single family homes, but about maybe one day getting to own a condo. That'd be cool. But new tiny units start at $600,000. But what happens if you just chop down SFH and rebuild with higher density, an

Zoning is just one cause of high housing prices. If zoning allowed for greater supply, we'd have lower housing prices. No argument from me there. But if we believe that housing isn't meant to be an empty investment that pushes out

That's definitely an alternative response. Here, we've decided that we should instead cut investors' demand of housing, rather than increasing supply proportionately in response to investor demand. Like raldi says above, it&#

No, the fact that the whole lower mainland has 30% the population of NYC is why Vancouver proper has 1/3 the density of Brooklyn. Increasing density in response to rising populations is great. Increasing density in response to rising i

Vancouver has an annual average income of around $70,000. At current benchmark prices of ~$1mm, we're paying 14x our average salaries for homes. That's roughly as unaffordable as Hong Kong — the world's most unaffordable hous

Zoning doesn't make empty units. If you took away all zoning strictures, you'd still be left with the fact that people who buy just as an investment aren't doing much good for a neighbourhood and a city.

I think you're misunderstanding what "Native Models" means in the context of iOS work. Saying that a database uses JSON immediately, to many ios devs, recalls years of writing very fragile json serialization code. Looking thr

This is equivalent to betting on the margin — the downside is that you end up holding a contract that commits you to paying for the whole condo, and if you can't get rid of that contract when the market goes down or you become incapabl

Right?? I think trolling and satire are different, now that I'm looking at this bud — satire needs to be obvious lest it further the goals of the thing it's making fun of. Trolling actually needs you to buy into what it's say
