Apparently Adam has pledged $1B in charitable donations over the next 10 years, otherwise he loses voting power. Is this normal? >To evidence their commitment to charitable causes and to ensure this commitment is meaningful, if Adam and

incredible piece. If you are thinking of reading this, and have a spare 20 minutes, commit.

as a data point, keto helped me put on a ton of muscle. I do lift weights 6 days per week, but I attribute it to increased testosterone. I've been fairly principled in my approach to experimenting with keto, including doing regular b

Not sure why, but this idea of reminiscing on the "old" internet reminds me of old Runescape. If you know, you know.

When I was in college, I didn't eat the same meal every day. I ate the same ingredients every day. I did not know how to cook. For dinner, I'd just each an entire package of sausage. That's all.

I think dynamically types languages are on their way out. There aren't many good arguments remaining in favor of them.

ha yeah good point. tough to give anyone access to bank/transaction info. interesting that paying someone else money and then giving them access to your bank statements would make you feel better!

ha sure. I just meant I know the sort of operational burden cloud customers are able to outsource by not rolling their own, based on my time at the G inside resource planning and management.

you're probably not wrong, but I think this is a good additional data point to have. It's easy to spot disgruntled reviews of anything. But if someone who left or quit has a composed, reasoned description of plausible problems,

That's a good point. But why not provide a free way to gauge how much the service can save you, then charge appropriately? Why should I pay 10$ to see how much I can save? I'd rather know that for free, then pay a higher amount

by fierro 8y ago
agreed. I'm not a contractor. But these days 10$/month is almost too low for me to even think a service is going to actually work. My price point would be closer to 25-30$ per month

if I have one job in this life, it's to hang out on hacker news and repeatedly post about how it's not cost effective to run your own infrastructure. 8MM/month doesn't even come CLOSE to needing your own infra. - person

Most of the other comments here cover the majority of useful tips/techniques. However for me, one thing I really like doing is reaching out to employees who quit/left. Ask them for honest information about why they quit and what

It will likely never be a true monopoly. But an oligopoly with two or three players? That's where we are and where we'll remain.

I think you severely underestimate what it means to run a public cloud business. "Probably capital intensive" betrays the naiveté of this comment. Even if you have 100 billion dollars in the bank, you're years behind. Go bu

don't discount the ability for either company to build that stickiness. They know this is important. Think credit cards, collaboration with last-mile transportation (Uber + Bird), discounts on restaurants, things of that nature. They
