You are equating "Hard" with impossible. Its impossible to turn a for profit company against itself from the inside, its hard to push for regulatory change. One system is built to create shareholder value, the other is to create s

This is exactly the type of people the cultural purge in big tech came to flush out. Trying to change a multi billion dollar company from the inside is delusional, self serving, narcissistic and ineffective. Who the hell do you think you ar

The financial world is not equitable, its about results. People from privileged backgrounds are more likely to raise funds because their privilege makes them more likely to succeed. If Being raised in a trailer park raised the odds of a suc

7-10 years is the realistic time frame for a moderately successful exit, usually those that are "Bought" after 1-3 years are actually failed ventures with all or most of the money going back to the investors to recoup their loses.

Don't get sucked into blind rage over nothing. Why do most employees nowadays prefer cash over options in startups? because for every successful startup where the secretary got a vineyard there are 99 when the startup limps along for 1

As much as we lampoon capitalism in western countries, it's interesting the companies above a certain size are treated as public goods and not as a private venture. No one would enforce this on mom and pop shop or even a small chain st

You are actually getting overly philosophical. The reason is that a step of chatbot training is to fine tune the base model to less frequently respond with non answers. I have not read the article, but the answer is: Because they are specif

Firstly, there are many tiny subcultures that by definition you will not know about if you are not part of them. Secondly, I think that there is a hidden assumption in western audience that sub\counter culture are universally good, So when

As with many more modern "Open source" projects, the openness is more of a "You can try for free, and once you need production level SLA come call us". While the source code is available to look at it's more of a fa

Follow the other instructions if you wish to be top 1% super-achiever. If you like a more realistic approach to the everyday man, I would recommend to be part of a social circle of developers. Friends from Uni, some local coding meetup, a g

The issue is that it is not linear. The customer needs change, you understand that you are talking to the wrong people, etc. It takes way longer than you think. The general advice I can give is that if you think you got PMF, and you cant ge

It's wasn't meant to be factual, its presenting the narrative the Democrats tell themselves. "We are the academic, rational side" I'm not arguing the factuality of this because it doesn't matter. Regardless if

There were posts left up on many divisive issues with a "Be kind" message on them. I think what you are thinking of is a "election stolen, storm the capitol" posts :)

With a lot of assumptions I would wager that it was indeed the founder skill set issue. Doing B2B sales is a skill, doing B2B marketing is a skill, doing fundraising is a skill, managing R&D is a skill, customer relations, legal, compli

Heh, you should probably take your idea seriously if you put any effort into it, don't you think? I'm sure there is a good core for this idea but if your product can be replaced by a google docs folder and copy pasting from a chat
