Totally agree. About 10 years ago I was the first hire of a startup built partially on top of LinkedIn. A Monday we got a cease and desist letter. We had to immeditely stop using their API and had to start crawling the data instead. That al

The headline is misleading. What is happening is that LinkedIn is using user data for its own benefit only and blocking innovation. As a LinkedIn user I want everyone to have access to the data I'm sharing publicly through the servic

I've worked in risk & fraud for some time now. As online platforms become mainstreams and are easier to build I think Trust and Safety is going to become the key differientiator. Stripe Indentity will no doubt play a big role and b

That is an interesting data point. In my case the support I got from Stripe over the years (email, chat, IRC, ...) has been consistently stellar. Are you in the US?

Tean years ago I moved to Silicon Valley from London to work at a hardware company. I realized pretty quikly that I wanted to do software not hardware. Algebraic datatypes, static typing, ..., were also more natural to me than OO and classe

I think that is your personal interpretation and I am surprised at how angry your comment is. I lived in the Netherlands, worked for an international organization and I still have a lot of friends who works (or worked) in Brussels. Few comm

I'm curious what do you mean by "bad" in that context? In my book, asking people to practice or learn a new language is not inerently bad. Decision-making should not be reduced to the law of the majority. If Europe wants to p

And it comes across as very condescending imo. We are in a world where a brilliant intern may know or sense as well as any CEO, from YC or not. That what makes this world interesting.

I am not sure they are 'illegal' - do you have a source for this? That being said, most non-competes are not enfoceable in Californina that's true. And that is a very good thing imo and a net positive for innovation.

Strong competition has been a net positive for the tech ecosystem in my opinion and what has made SV what it is today. Replit leadership and team should focus on winning by building faster and better, not by artificially blocking innovation

It is a fair point if the focus is on billionaires (Bezos, Zuck,...). The proportion of resources they consume is well below their wealth. They may even contribute positively to society through charitable causes. The real issue is that tech

I respectfully but also totally disagree. Value of money in particular is not intrinsic, it comes directly from the ability to redirect resource today (buy a home) and the future (be able to retire comfortably). People made rich by Google w

What you are missing is that the resources in the world that matter are bounded. So if a minority is creating most of the value at scale, they will be able to redirect most of the resources to themselves. This drives the increase in inequal

Exactly. And I also think looking at money only may not go far enough. At the end of the day what matters is the amount of resources that the society allow a person to enjoy during her/his life, from food to home ownership to work oppo

My understanding is that censorship is currently the only known way to tackle untruths leading to violence on a platform that enable viral sharing of information. In any other instance, censorship should be (is?) inconstitutional.

I second this - I've had about 10 colonoscopies/endoscopies in my life (due to a medical condition) and it went well each time, no pain as steve said. The prep is also an opportunity for cleansing of the digestive system.

At equal execution, I suspect there is often (but not always) a direct relationship between investment and speed of execution / time to profitability (since with more investment it will be easier to attract great talent and iterate fas

As somebody new to the world of startups, I'm wondering why taking a small seed round and then work hard to bootstrap within a few years (with the help of the extra seed cash) isn't a viable option?

I worked for a fintech company until 2018 and learned a lot about the payment ecosystem. At an industry event in 2017 (or maybe early 2018) I discussed with an industry veteran about a bunch of things and he mentioned wirecard, saying that

I see your point at the same time platforms also bring values, are expensive to build,... Success/failure, business models, pricing should be function of the products and the markets. So I'm not sure 'be entitled' or &#x

The stock market is the rule of the minority who is looking (sending trade orders for a specific stock, driving price up or down). And for Hertz, the pros may be looking the other way these days because that serves their purpose, letting re

Intel was later more successful with VLIW. They bought Silicon Hive a company in NL that built VLIW for image processing. I had left by then but my understanding is that they were able to build actual products with it.
