No. In theory you can mine everything with robots. However, every year you stay on Earth, you're kinda like throwing a 1d100 whether you get a WWIII and it turns into a nuclear wasteland or not. You can keep throwing it and hope it doe

No billionaire startup CEO, or anyone at the top of their field, was born knowing how to do it. Just believe in yourself. It's the people who have the courage that'll end up as leaders. You've just got a taste of it.

What's your view on cases like Renaissance Technologies? There's an interview online on James Simons ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNznD9hMEh0 ) - and he explicitly talked about using math models to detect anoma

If you're talking about the Bay Area - then there's good reason why buildings are wood framed and light weight. Wood frame construction is generally more earthquake resistant. http://timber.ce.wsu.edu/Resources&#x2

A few questions. 1. How do you define the operating boundaries for your time stamps? What is too low and too high and why? 2. What are the expected use cases for your conflict resolution algorithm? The HAM function you proposed would just o

If you're working on a project with just a few people and on the first version, you'd probably not see many of these problems. But imagine your project grows, you keep modifying the code, and often times you'd make typing mis

Well, just a curious question - do you lint your JavaScript code?

I was already expecting he'd talk about favoring composition over inheritance 1/3 the way into the article... which he finally does in the 40 minute+ videos after the end of the whole article. There're a lot more problems wit

What if I tell you that, there're a bunch of people who do nothing but present themselves? And, when they're co-founding a company with you, they still do nothing but present themselves (not your company)?

One thing I don't understand though - how can the people in Atherton afford their houses with "only" $200k income? (yea $200k is a lot, but those houses cost a freakin' lot more!)

What this article essentially says is one kind of math is better than the other. No.

My last startup flopped as well. But honestly I couldn't be happier - I think a lot of first time entrepreneurs make similar mistakes. But you wouldn't be able to learn them by heart until you've made them and seen what'd happen after each

Problem: the term itself is already not specialized. While there's no doubt a few people in the Valley actually know what it's about - for a startup, anybody knowing how to do one or two of the things below can call himself a "growth hacker

The effect is awesome, but on a real website it's most probably excessive design.

It costs money. So I'd say, yes.

It's a good thing. It means your co-founders already have a bit of job security. With that in mind, you guys are ready to stick together and keep fighting. :)

One of the lessons I've learned in my startup life (2 years) was to never deal with people who aren't competent with execution - what's the right thing to do, how to reason about it in a logical way, how to do it, how to finish it, continge

I occasionally experience the same thing during sleep as well - never knew there's a name for it. It used to scare me a lot when I was a kid, but after some time I've learned to control my fear when it happens. It also seems to be triggered

It is.. the author hasn't updated the description, but I've talked to him personally. It was one of the competition entries for Mozilla's Game On, and at that point it wasn't written in WebGL. But the author has updated the code later to us
