I'm not sure how you guys feel about this, but personally, I've been avoiding Google services for the last couple of years because I just assume they'll eventually get shut down.

It quickly gets very expensive to do so.

Why wouldn't this work for Canada? Could it?

I asked around for exactly this a few times over the years. I've never met someone who hadn't regretted using Wave. Maybe it got better recently...

I've been closing this very closely for a few months. I think he thought he could arbitrage and benefit from the increase in BTC's price and get away with it somehow. The market came crashing down, XRB got listed on Binance and Ku

There should be a "robot.txt" for passwords. ie: /password.txt This file could define the accepted password format. Password managers could retrieve that file and know exactly how to generate a password.

This looks great. At first sight, it seems more like an alternative to Ulysses. Would you say that's accurate?

This. 1password is just amazing. I've been using it since the pre-release betas and it's one of those things I wouldn't live without. Security is good (at least good enough) and it's simply not worth my time to try to ro

This is awesome! Fun hack to make data entry easy: Use hacked Amazon Dash buttons for really quick data entry. ie: press a button when feeding the baby, press another button when changing diaper.

I had breakfast with Bill a few years ago in Palo Alto. It was clear pretty quickly that WePay wasn’t a good fit for us, but he still managed to navigate me through the competitive landscape and helped me figure out which product was right,

I made > $1M more than once. For me it's always been building projects/startups and eventually exiting. I repeated the cycle and got lucky enough a few times. Interestingly, I always managed to get some kind of liquidity event

If the promotion was for a manager role, it might simply be because "you get walked over by people". Good developers rarely make managers unfortunately. While I don't have much info, it could simply be that your manager doesn

Inspired by this, just wrote a Ruby gem that handles passwords exactly how Atwood suggests. It's still a work and progress but I think it's off to a good start. Let me know what you think. https://github.com/cmer&#

If it's interesting to anyone, I evaluated a few NAS software and landed on Unraid, which is not as popular, but quite nice. It's not free (but it's cheap), but the way I can easily expand storage and Docker support sealed th

I founded a startup with my wife 4 years ago. We're now at Series B from top tier investors (Sequoia, Lightspeed) and it has never been an issue for us. I think the fact that we complemented each other so well was actually a plus. I wo

I'd argue if a VC is trying to sneak in some non-standard bad terms, you should just walk away. They're definitely not people you want to work with. The best VCs have extremely simple, straightforward terms. I've seen a term

That's why I'm saying this. Licensing deals go through in pretty much every country except Canada. There's an issue...

It'll never cease to amaze me that all these countries, including many underdeveloped countries, get to have great internet services such as Spotify, but somehow Canada is never one of those. There's something seriously wrong with

I second this. I recently discovered Middleman and the experience is very familiar to Rails, in a good way. There are also many amazing plugins, such as one to automatically deploy to S3.

I told my wife's uncle about the biometric EarPods. He happens to be one of the most renown ear specialist in the world. His response: it actually makes sense, it's 20 year old technology. Apparently, you can measure things like o

Anybody who gives up 25% to build an MVP clearly has no idea what she's doing. This probably tells a lot about the future success of the company. Not only it's a bad deal for them, it's also a bad deal for you.

The computing power that Apple sells for $1500 would cost a lot more to rent each month on AWS. there's just no comparison.

We had a giant table that constantly needed schema changes. With older versions of MySQL, adding a column meant many hours of downtime. And our business required 100% uptime. It wasn't a good fit. The promise of no schema sounded aweso

They refused to give us per incident support because they figured we could afford the yearly support plan (this was post acquisition at a public company) We eventually just gave up on the whole thing.
