The garage stage is usually the seed round, just like YC helps make it a formal process. Get a working provable prototype up and iterate quickly on your idea to something that works and can turn a profit. Then off you go to find customers t

Throughout my travels my passport number has been copied with an old school copier, entered into excel spreadsheets and held on to by various shops for collateral. Not saying this isn’t a shitty hack, but I feel like the passport is the lea

Very good find, but SJ was using a slight-of-hand here. While true, privacy has always been a feature of Apple products, this was said during the Amazon iBooks lawsuit when Apple suddenly added this 30% in-app purchase restriction. SJ was o

At the end of the day, we're all just writing syntactic sugar over assembly that a very complex state machine has to execute.

Facebook shares a huge chunk of core code between Android and iOS with C++. Even with Electron, VS Code also writes a lot of the core modules in C++. At the end of the day, it's just a clever way to write performant code that can be sh

If it's a competitive advantage for your desktop product to use the native system frameworks with the platform preferred language (Cocoa/Swift or UWP/C#), I believe its just as easy to justify the development time and cost to

I currently live in SF and work in South Bay, but this is probably the last job I'll accept down there. Being able to walk to work, or at least jump on a short bus ride to work cannot be understated for quality of life.

Totally unrelated, but I just last week did say I loved being an American and love this country yet immediately I got shunned for being a crazy right-wing conservative. I'm like what??! So I can see how thought leaders in this space ar

The article didn't mention Arial from Microsoft all the way back in 1982! And it's probably one of the most used "Helvetica"-like (to avoid licensing) fonts ever.

Funny. Facebook Newsfeed was the darling of the world until Brexit happened and Trump got elected and then the Western press brought out the pitchforks.

Of course it does, it's not a gender problem, who said it was? How many of you have heard your friends and colleagues tell you, "wow I'm so lucky I got through that interview, there's no way I would pass it if I did it a

Yea marketing is really confusing here. The 9900k is coffee lake v2. The 9900x is skylake (server) v2. Two totally different chips.

Progressives in the city are quick to demonize Breed for calling out that the proposition doesn't add any kind of accountability to the funds. Yet, I bet if the proposition added a 1% sales tax, or general city tax applied to all resid

Wow, the comments make it seem like this has anything to do with Windows UWP platform. So much misunderstanding here and the OP is even quite a bit misleading. 1) UWP is the branding behind many technologies, but most commonly thought of as

Meh, just a decade ago those same women would have been flipping through Vogue and Cosmo. Media has always been a net negative for female body issues and relationships. At least with Instagram for the first time, they can chose to follow mo

I preferred stick because it allowed me to accelerate faster and better control my driving. Now that most cars offer some sort of turbo and manual-like like transmission option, I much prefer our new future of automatic.

Sorry, but all this hate, how is this any different than your local grocery store charging brands for higher placement on the shelves?

How is this different than any other prestigious high performance job? Okay great, you busted your ass and you made it to the top, and now you have to bust your ass to stay there. I also don’t really think it’s fair to attach YouTube to the

Not really sure what this article's final point is? Facebook and Google have hardware teams that allow them to build impressive data centers. Cisco has lost a lot of potential revenue from all the components FB and Google have managed

It only mattered in the last couple of years that you could buy a car that supported Android Auto. So as long as Bluetooth works, I think that gets you 80% of the way there. Maps seems to be the only real UI app allowed anyway, and hopefull

I agree with everything in the Twitter post, except the "without getting lucky" part. You must already have wealth in order to practice any of his suggestions.

Have you actually found any new apps to download through Apple's new News style storefront? Just a cursory ping around my office has resulted in only 1 person installing an app through it. It's quite frankly an obnoxious, Apple ha

SIM card activation lock is required by phone carriers as a precondition to sell you the phone. You can create a bogus iTunes account by using gift cards and creating an anonymous account with that. At that point, yes the device is linked b

My guess is a sensor requires a signed connection, much like how HDCP works. Seems a bit over-engineered if Apple is building protected sensors, but would also love to hear from someone in the know.

Sounds very similar to Disney wanting to go alone and pull out of Netflix. Content creation is expensive and digital platforms either need to create their own stuff or pay up. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/08/d

I think city living in SF is super great for people who can afford the extra cost. Right now you have 2 kids in a 2 bedroom, and at some point that is going to be pretty cramped for everyone. Also the number of families that put a strain on

Except that Facebook has also stated they too want their products to be less addictive. But let's be real, Google is also very much talking only about real addiction, the negative kind that negatively effects people's lives, like
