So if I'm reading Segment's page correctly, Segment is a service that reads other API data and warehouses it into a single place to be read later? I feel like I'm missing a lot of the picture. :)

Not so much buying one, but if you really do own one, then you can rent your car out autonomously. Ford, GM and others have mentioned this is the plan, so Uber's model is really junked because everyone is an uber/lyft.

Mostly because you're in a competition with everyone who sells cars; a commodity business. That's hard. What is a startup? Poised for explosive growth. Are commodity businesses poised for that growth? No.

Be prepared to spend 30 - 60 minutes filling out forms and also taking a 'culture fit', 'numerical analysis,' and 'verbal' test. So far I've spent about 40 minutes applying to 1 job. Edit: 60 minutes I do

Why hire someone with 10+ years of experience over all when we can hire someone with 3-5 years of experience in our tech stack? Or so it's been explained to me.

I will confess to being cynical but they need more engineers than C*Os. My time is almost over.

Today, an interviewer put it to me this way: > Why would we pay for someone with 10 years of generalist experience overall when we could hire someone with 5 years of experience in technology X. They nominally claim to hire smart, general

So I have a project I'm working on now that could potentially be useful and commercial. I'm not looking to be a billionaire but I would like to have a steady, comfortable source of income. How easy is it to form the legal structur

How did you find this data, or this competition? I wouldn't mind trying my hand at this, either.

So how does it work? Is it a sort of SLAM algorithm?

You invented a lot of what I'm using this very instant to compose this message. I yearn to do great works of engineering and art, which I consider what you have done. How do you come up with ideas?

How do you advance to leadership roles? I try to pursue it when it seems like it appears in companies I'm around but it feels mostly like crapshoot. My other best guess is start my own company, which I think about all the time.
