This is the coolest way I've seen to have my mind focused on work 24/7 even while I'm laying down resting. If my employer gives me one of those I'll quit on the spot but I want to buy one (secretly) to try it, damn.

This. The ability to reach people from very specific demographics and behavioral segments is something every politician from all sides want. That's why they will always complain and promise regulations, but will never really do somethi

I don't know much about security. I'm asking from a purely theoretical perspective, so you could imagine a worst case scenario - for example, Alice wants to use her phone to securely chat with Bob about resisting the dictatorship

I'm never going back to work in an office. If companies stop with WFH I'll become a freelancer on Upwork or whatever. Sure, there are many advantages to being in the office, learning and career-wise. But those advantages are relat

My wife is a perfectionist, she spends unreasonable amounts of time even in little tasks (like making the bed) to make sure it's "perfect". We all talk about perfectionism in the workplace or job-related activities but in rea

Yes, because religious activities were at or near the center of everyday life for many. It was the topic of discussion during meals. It defined people and their personalities. Now politics has taken that place, and I'm not sure we&#x27

It works because it's true. The joke's on the audience that takes seriously what someone with a comedian background says after "I'm a comedian, but..."

Congrats on the launch! Do you guys by any chance know Deepnote? They're in YC as well, also in the tools for data scientists space. I lead a small team of DSs in a big corp and we'd happily pay for a single tool that would be Dee

Recently I've bought a Nintendo Switch because I've come to the realization that mobile games (I play on a high end tablet) are inferior. Why? Because most of then rely on dark patterns to get you watching ads or paying lots of mo

Meta should just double down on trying to be not just an ads company by buying Valve or some other prestigious gaming company and some business software company to have better gaming and business tools in their metaverse.

I used to work with team members in Argentina. They received in local currency, so they had salary raises every now and then. It sometimes didn't match inflation, though, and the moment the members started talking about missing eating

A product manager with an MBA will argue this affects only a handful of customers, mostly non-paying, so fixing it should sit at the end of the backlog.

I agree and in that regard I've always found EU countries much more humane, in the sense they don't have to take shit from a bad customer and smile because of the weight of the tip in their salary.

While I agree with your comments and find them very true, it must be said that widening the talent pool means hiring high skilled professionals for the same or less money. The remote penalty can be offset by a stronger team in a cost effect

Correct me if I'm wrong: the first and second ones in market share aren't the most interesting part. What's insightful is that Amazon is at third. Spotify is a pure player in the space and with it's years of growth it ma

In the old world, a company would build the television, another would broadcast shows, another would measure the audience and another would measure sales to compare with media investments. Which of those steps Google does today? All of them

It may vary a lot of course but I'd say it's generally worse... And the difference gets brutal if the startup gets successful and you get to exercise stock options. However, money isn't everything... Mental stability is price

Urgh, that's horrible. Even if package authors feel like they should get some compensation, breaking code like this is never the way to go. Maybe they think most apps are "useless" anyway and could break, but there's a c
