Code without test code doesn't mean untested code. And vice-versa. Unless you're actually writing complex tools - no, you're probably not getting a "formalized way of modeling" what happens to your program. If someb

The graphs are super confusing. Without reading the story it's hard to figure out if the point is their sameness or if you should keep trying to figure out the deltas. Given that sameness was the point - just make a single graph with 4

You're not telling us why you got turned down. Do they not share your assessment of how severe the vulnerability is?

You want to minimize the effort it takes one to reply. 1. An information-dense subject line 2. Tell them a soft compliment 3. A sentence about yourself 4. Say what you're up to 5. A very very very simple ask, don't make them think

Citizens of poor countries, not necessarily very very poor people themselves[0]. Almost any country has a not-insignificant middle/upper-class that would love to compete on a level playing field with the world. Which is most obvious wi

A global currency is big. A global economy is big. For citizens of poor and cut-off countries - it's huge. Which is why I think the SV has largely missed it. ICOs are big with Eastern Europeans for the same reason hacking was (hint: it

AFAIK Google Hangouts uses non-standard WebRTC functionality. Found a decent write-up: https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/ Can't tell you whether or not that's the real reason. But I can

The site seems to default to not-English when you first open it. Had to refresh to get English. Try opening from incognito to reproduce. update: using the demo basically locks me into the dashboard. Can't visit the landing page anymore

Culture is performance. Pondering on the artifice of social relations is timeless. The interesting part is what happens once enough people become aware of it. A total glamour killer. Every day there seems to be so much talk about dangers of

Well if you need to raise, then it's not that different from applying for a job. You won't be making a salary for quite a while either. Whatever you end up working on might often feel like a disaster. Maybe you can get a free psyc

In most of these rapid takedown cases, the accused doesn't contest the allegations (or only sort of does). Easy to overestimate how often this happens. And the destruction is mutual for the most part. The moment the accusation is made,

They communicated the vision really well. Better pricing too. I think, strictly feature wise - search was the only differentiator. At the time we were using the rather obscure Flowdock[0]. Didn't feel like switching. Felt mostly the sa

Try spending the first few hours working on your idea if possible. Wake up earlier if necessary. Want to test if tiredness really is the obstacle.

A passport that lets you visit the most countries != the most valuable citizenship. Might be wrong, but doubt many would pick a German citizenship over an American.

I'd wonder how much of that is new money poured into the ICOs. Selling something in the crypto-world usually means trading it for BTC. So I'd imagine all crypto money finds it's way into bitcoin eventually.

If you can get VC-like dealflow and vetting - yea. Would need a few years before building a reasonably sized portfolio too. On top of that - this kind of a deal isn't going to play too well with future investors. Not to mention you won

First, I'd try to identify how the status quo affects your bottom line. How will you determine if the rewrite/refactor is being successful? Be wary of the glamour of "doing things the right way". Don't want to get i

Should mostly consider who you'll be raising money from. Rasing American pre-A money with a European incorporation is going to be tough.

Not sure. One part of me wishes I hadn't. Once you get used to emacs, working in other environments will get rather annoying. Don't think it makes me that much more productive either. Not to mention the days and weeks wasted cust

Care to expand on the "theft and premature release of Stuxnet by Israel"? Most information seems to point to it being a joint US-Israeli creation or even primarily Israeli. We do know for a fact that US General James Cartwright pl

While not enough in of itself, a PhD will greatly increase your chances of getting an O-1. Which is much more attractive than an H-1B. Also, remember that H-1Bs from India and China have to wait for many many years before they can get their

Doing research on up-and-coming startups is every M&A department's core competency. If you are to believe the rumors - some big players are very sophisticated in figuring out what to copy. Nobody is going to put up with hyper-steal

I'd wonder if given the prevalence of the bias - you could simply make it be a function of company size.

Well, if you want to build a company, the advice I'd really want to understand at that age - is it won't get much easier. At that age, I'd often assume difficulties I encountered were due to uneducation or lack of experience.

Not an alternative at all. It's what's happening and it's no good. The benefactors are the Chinese me-too tech industry and the government. The ultimate loser is the Chinese consumer. If China banned coca-cola and bragged abo

I'd imagine pre-Internet conversations were just as "sad". The main difference was you couldn't "show" what you were talking about. Nowadays instead of verbally describing a conversation with a friend, you&#x27

Worse is better - too much nuisance and nobody's gonna care. Rapid iteration - throw ideas out there, see what sticks. Also, you can perpetually broadcast different, even slightly conflicting takes on the same general idea. Very powerf

Consider the following scenario: a foreign (non-resident alien) founder gets funded in the US, standard C-Corp. The founder and the entire team are based in another country. The founder comes to the US once in a while for somewhat extended

Problems off the top of my head: 1) standard bank transfers often aren't instantaneous (idk about Germany) 2) no support for handling disputes etc. 3) banks can simply try to block you if it ever gets traction 4) a lot of friction, no
