i doubt that components for consumer electronics can be made cheap enough manufacturing them in the US. you just never are going to be able to make a TV for $150 in the US. it’s a pipe dream made up by politicians. and why the great lakes?

ok, so a distributor thinks a movie will make $100MM, they buy the rights for $50MM, and the bank discounts this to $10MM, so they get a loan for $10MM?

that assumes there is no value in integrating code. actually, from my experience, that is where the value is. how you put into practice components to solve a new problem or offer a new way to do something people are willing to pay for.

curious how movie financing works and why banks would be ok with lending money against future movie IP.

ever heard of “not invented here”? even if you have valuable IP big tech companies think they can do better even if they cannot, or are simply greedy and will spend a multiple of what your IP costs just so they don’t need to acquire you. th

it is uncertain that the garage sale crap will bring in any money. or your inventory. besides, they discount it 90% anyway. people do buy and sell small businesses. why is a pizza place worth any money? because of the customer database? but

but the rates are not low. AND… in the case of SBA or govt programs from other countries the debt comes with restrictions which will hamper your ability to be succesful.

i will warn anyone against taking on convertible debt or government backed debt while also investing your own time and money in a company. i have been through this experience and sooner or later the debt will mature. this could mean that yo

companies can keep a list of universities and decide to only screen those who do not have a degree from those universities. the list can be dynamically changed based on on the job feedback. any university in western europe is pretty hard to

that is not what i asked. why did YC fund hackerrank? sounds like a shitty idea and bad for our industry.

i will add to this that if recruiters or code interview people expect you to be a liar or fraud, by default, then they will be looking for evidence and the slightest misstep will instantly be a “fail” with the excuse that they prefer to hav

some companies don’t even get you need 2 monitors and you want everyone to be aware?

it’s not your problem. pay them more so they don’t need to juggle multiple jobs?

no, the burden falls on the college. that is the point, if the college is good, then you cannot graduate unless you mastered both theory and practice. and i am not talking about fizzbuzz, read my comment.

well, how did HR get through YC?

by b20000 5y ago
the last time I checked autorouters were still not capable of doing all the routing on a multi layer PCB properly, and manual work was still required to produce a decent design.

fizzbuzz is the least of your concern if you do these type of interviews. the problem is that you will be asked a question which required several hours to produce an optimal solution, yet you are supposed to deliver this solution in under 5

a good college education covers all of the above. we don't need HR or LC.

exactly. the solutions are the property of those taking the interviews.

the problem is that the type of advisors you are talking about only care about selling products and making commissions, they actually don't care about helping people make the right decisions. the same goes for CPAs - the moment they se
