I don't think it's a strong sign of complacency. I think people just don't do toy problems involve coding breadth first searches or determining bipartite graphs. How often to people really write dynamic programming algos in

This lowering testosterone thing - does this explain the decline of athletes when they become parents? I don't know if a 20% decrease in testosterone has a material effect on the body's ability to produce and maintain muscle mass.

I just wanted to say something supportive. You didn't fail; a bacteria affected the situation more than modern medicine was capable of handling. I hope you're not blaming yourself.

It seems like you need a strong hypothesis for growth and a strong hypothesis for customer acquisition. It seems like knowing what you're going to build can help drive how you will distribute, and but vice versa seems less obvious. It

The first start up I worked for we made our desks out of doors that had been discarded. There's an IKEA in East Palo Alto. Sleeping on the floor for extended periods of time is ridiculous. Even a $30 inflatable air mattress is better

This is because reliability, ease of setup, and support are actually just as important as what is being run. If you're not using AWS you're not fully leveraging your software team, because that means you've got people spendin

You don't get $2/month of value out of what you're doing? Then why are you doing it at all???

I'm curious about the performance/success of remote-only on-boarding. If I move to Wyoming, google can lower my salary by 25% because of "market" factors. However, can they replace someone on-boarded on-site for 5 years

I certainly don't have one. I think that finding one is important.

I have not attended an american school. People seem to want robotic admission standards. Is there no room for circumstance? Does a donation to the school that helps improve the quality of the school and the research need to come without str

I'm shocked this hasn't surfaced as a lie detector app on the iphone. I get that it doesn't work very well, but it seems like it would sell. Maybe offer some calibration steps.

But usually you missed them for a reason. They just aren’t directly relevant to you. ... but I made a technical decision because of an idea on hacker news. You should have researched that decision outside of hacker news. Less aggregate time

Perhaps it just needs to be graded. A wealth tax that only applies to the top 0.5%.

When I consider the implications for the children of this world, these thoughts make me deeply sad. Not in a way I feel I can directly action. Not in a way that many children don't have bigger problems than saving the whales. Just sad.

This is so true, and incredibly frustrating. I joined a start up as the first employee, and the amount of equity they gave me was ridiculous. I got blinded by the notion of them raising a large amount of money and hiring at a rapid pace; t

Please don't misunderstand me; I didn't say anything was invalid, just that all these things existed before the internet, and could exist without it in a less streamlined way. It's actual somewhat of an interesting topic when

This was probably a bad move given this whole monopoly inquiry. I'm going to guess Tim Cook may fire someone over this if he wasn't directly involved.

Isn't this the children solving the multi armed bandit problem? In a child's mind, they haven't yet fully decided how things behave and react, so they are willing to try things to see if they've changed (because in fact

There was a time when you paid by credit card using a mechanical copy of the credit card and data was manually entered at the end of the day. It sadly doesn't work well with new style credit cards that don't have raised numbers,

For what it is worth, Buffett also backed the largest solar project in the United States. Look up the NV Energy Gemini project. Please don't take this headline for anything than what it is; Buffett is a deal hunter, and he likes buyin
