For quite a while AWS and cloud were basically synonymous. It took years for others to get in the game. And they're still playing captchup. Because of this quite a lot of 3rd party software targets only the AWS. I mostly hear about Azu

I had pretty severe dysgraphia throughout childhood and teens. Completely unintelligible. Couldn't draw simple shapes. For whatever reason I kept taking notes and doing drawing exercises. Got to a point where I can finally read my own

Communist China mostly utilizes the great number of mainlanders in the US who are there on non-immigrant visas. You can do quite a lot without engaging in reprehensible racial actions. Other nations can't pull it off. They don't h

Usually you'd want to reuse existing hacking infrastructure that is people, exploits, operational practices etc. These are bound to leave fingerprints. Doing everything from scratch to ensure secrecy would take significant resources. W

Hardly risky. Only if it gets notoriety. If he's already intent on leaving China there's little to worry about. The regime doesn't care about a libertarian's intellectual critique. If you want to get in trouble talk abou

Cutthroat competition of well-funded second-movers is a whole different ballgame. It's funny that you mention Peter Thiel. His "globalization" pretty much describes this. I think you'll find relevant advice in more trad

Well that's sort of what I'm thinking of too. I'm talking about the idea that this might be doable by limiting topical scope. So for example you'd only index some portion of tech related sites.

I'd love a search engine with more querying power limited to a niche. But I doubt limiting topical scope would do much to keep computational complexity from blowing up. A while back some startup was charging per search to work around t

I think it's fine. It's just probably 10x easier to get 80% of what you want if you aren't as strict about doing away with your old one. You can do a name change and all that without completely vanishing. Does the odd obsesse

It's interesting how HIBP considers mainstream dating sites sensitive on par with adult sites, while shady hacking related forums are fair game.

Cashlessness makes it easier to cordon off the official economy from the blockchain/grey economy. That is assuming the blockchain is made illegal. Otherwise, I guess there isn't that much of a problem.

Wow, that's a crazy commitment. What happens if you break it?

AI might be one of the few tech niches where China has a legitimate advantage. Obtaining certain kinds of data is tough, there are many unresolved ethical and legal considerations. The communist regime has already proven itself to have no m

Had a similar experience. I find it fades quite quickly. If you can't triangulate with what you're already doing (or thinking of) it's going to be tough. I think getting to a productive level would require a lot of dedication

It's a valid point but diamonds are definitely a bit different. Luxury fashion items are differentiated. Most of the time they don't have identical substitutes. And when they do they might be hard to get and illegal. Diamonds are

Most smallcaps have tiny volumes and aren't traded on many exchanges. Getting the coins into (and out of) an exchange isn't immediate. Even worse most of the volume is likely to be on a trustworthy exchange that does some basic KY

And if you try to attack one of the smaller coins, odds are it'll just get forked. Which is a risk with big coins too, but at least there's a chance the original chain retains some value.

Well, many private European VCs are pretty willing to have you incorporate as a Delaware C-Corp or a UK company (don't remember what's the most popular structure for these). I say private VCs, because there are quite a few pseudo-

This culture has driven innovation of the last 2 decades. You can't point me to one other industry which enjoyed as much success. Of course, Europe couldn't care less - they never had a real startup industry in the first place.

Hope: D. Blockchain - I'd say the blockchain is overhyped by the mainstream but severely underappreciated by Silicon Valley types. It works, it's fundamentally novel. Money is a big deal and this changes money as we know it. A hug

The posts do look like an exact copy of Reddit down to font color and weight. Your design has plenty of odd spacings (or lack of them). I'd spend more time adjusting sizings, margins, and paddings. I don't know about your audience

If we get a precedent protecting US companies against the EU I think you're going to start seeing that. Until then it's still risky. Also on the flip side, it'll take a while until there are GDPR horror stories. Right now the

It's an interesting angle to explore. Especially with respect to China. If you look at just denuclearization it's pretty unclear how China ties into it. Some think China can produce goodwill by "helping" with NK. That N
