   Years of work. I networked my ass off for years. Hackathons, developer meetups, etc. I probably would have had trouble finding projects if I decided to do contracting when I moved to the Bay Area right away. For my first few projects, my ra

   I did contracting for over 2 years. All my contracts were through a referral from my network. I never had to do cold-emails. I live in the Bay Area though where there are a lot of companies looking for somebody to build their Android app. W

   What he is saying is that it is harder, not impossible. Are you saying that remote work is as good if not better than being physically-located?

   Having worked for startups in SF/SV and non-startups in DC and San Diego, exploiting H1Bs are more common in the latter. I know of some companies reporting a fair wage to IRS/Labor Department but actually paying the employees a lo

   "This is a good example of trying to create demand where there was none before." In the article, they are conducting user interviews to figure out demand. They are not creating demand themselves. "Also, I see your survey resu

    PR to me means the company itself is involved. Magic Leap seems to be keeping its silence. What they are doing is the opposite of a PR push.

    Ah, we see what we want to see. You see Google as a company that is just serving ads. I see Google as a company collecting and organizing information. Should companies not do things beyond what they are doing right now even if it means impr

    I bet this argument has been used on the early days of dial-up modem and cell phones as well. History proved that these things get cheaper and become accessible to the masses.

    If the value of your site can be diminished by showing 5 lines of text, your site probably isn't worth that much.

    Saw this on High School Students too. The default search engine was Yahoo. They search for "Google", click on the link and search from there.

    Detecting spam, phishing, viruses, etc. I wonder how Google or any other service can do that without reading your email.

    If there's no conflict of interest, then that CTO is probably not qualified. I can't imagine a CTO not having worked at any of the big tech companies.

    The first world would still benefit because web pages would download faster on mobile. Also, the first world is just a subset of internet users.

    This is basically what meal-delivery services are doing in San Francisco. They stock up on meals in delivery cars and anticipate where the demand would be and drive there.

    What's your pet peeve? Do you want Google acknowledge that you did it first? That this drone project may not have been possible without your earlier efforts?

    Facebook was initially built on PHP. If you have users, lots of it, it trumps everything. I have friends who hated PHP ended up joining Facebook. Get to market ASAP. Getting acquired is the least of your worries.

    This comment and some of the others show the ugly side of HN. Judging a company just based on a web site. Also the company is still very young that it should be given time to prove itself. mindless contrarianism
