   Not a Teams user. You're telling me the windows Teams client is built with electron rather than native? That is extremely telling.

   I'm the CEO of an early stage startup, about ~10 in size. I share everything. Cash in bank, runway, burn. How our products are doing. What's coming next. Maybe things change as you grow, I'm not sure. But for now, my teammate

   Not since Shazam have I had a Neo "whoa" moment like this. Some of these generations are incredible.

   For the parents of teenagers here - how do you regulate TikTok usage amongst your kids, if it all?

   I think this is the next move for TikTok - a search + map offering. I've started searching for restaurant reviews on TikTok and it mostly works. Couple things I liked about that experience: * The medium of video. It's just a next

   Yes, absolutely. In fact I was just emailing some childhood friends these videos earlier today. What TikTok does _really_ well is surface hyper specific content to you. I grew up the children of indian immigrants and there's a, let&#x2

   Is this were the case, why is Amazon's and Apple's pricing the same as Spotify's?

   I would argue they are in a much more stable position vs Netflix. They are the one stop shop for every kind of audio. Retention will be the true barometer here.

    It is my understanding - and correct me if I'm wrong - that a-listers have the leverage to move their entire catalogue over if they wish. Could they have, en masse, done this over to Tidal? Would that have broke Spotify?

    This is fascinating. Can you share more on when and why Disney decided to build their own streaming service?

    This is a huge point that I bet there will be many business case studies around: why didn't what happened to Netflix happen to Spotify? I thought Tidal was going to be that. Remember their first promo video [0]? Full of A listers prett

    Left it awhile ago - we've gone all in on Render. Aside from these weird intermittent DNS issues Sentry has been flagging, it's been smooth. Our engs love it.

    Wouldn’t enough disputed charges result in the credit card processor blacklisting this merchant? I would think a better scam to be selling fake av software in this scenario.

    I can feel the "mush" sensation after watching TikTok too much. It's really a whole new level.

    Think of these questions less as interrogative orders and more as discussion points / negotiations. I agree that the latter two need to be deployed wisely, sensitive to context and frequency.

    If I'm selling a product, I can either take on distribution on my own (no dealerships, self-serve) or partner with resellers (dealerships). With the former, I control the entire sales UX and receive a higher price. If we're talkin

    To be a self sustaining business, probably. For the hobbyist creators, there's a long tail of creators that don't need to go maximally viral and still enjoy a healthy following.

    What a wave of nostalgia. Had the 901 during grad school in 2009. Bear in mind, the alternative at the time were huge, bulky laptops that ran hot with the fan on all the time. I had one of those at home, but I wanted something light on the

    Bingo. The surface level value prop of these tools are: enable your ops staff to create/manage biz processes. The underlying value prop is: don't spend expensive dev time creating internal tools.

    Appreciate the honesty - speaks volumes about you and the company. We're very much solving for the BI usecase right now but as we start staffing up the ops part of our company, we're not going to be able to build all those interna
