Administering a policy with a ton of loopholes and exceptions almost always becomes a rotting, horrible thing. Look at tax codes. You need exceptions for 90 million people? How does that get enforced, generally? Even though no one has menti

Well I agree with your first example. But would you call someone who wins a supposedly drawn endgame after 100 moves a tactical player or positional player? No one I know would claim that what happened on the 100th move was a tactic. It was

I mean, if you get into MIT, you can definitely get student loans... lenders agree that your MIT degree is proof that you'll make significant income later in life and pay off that debt. Your situation sucks. It's not really applic

What? Facebook built react to solve these problems. When they built Luna stuff like react didn't exist. Investing in developer tooling including frameworks is a fine use of time and often pays off hugely. There wasn't a better alt

I would doubt that any company would take such a bet now. If not Google, then why would, say, Shopify stand a better chance? I'm an entrepreneur from Toronto and I won't bet the next three years on my life on a municipal governmen

Well not necessarily. The Martian equator can get as hot as 18C. It doesn't retain the heat (due to no atmosphere) and it gets cold like even a few centimeters off of the surface.

I think you're off base. It's simply not runway at this point. That like 200 years of runway at their peak losses. It's pretty simple why they have such a big cash pile. They literally don't have a better place to put it

Dude... what? Both of those are false analogies.

I mean... "The Department of Innovative Technology" is kind of what the USDS is. It's ran by very competent people, and do short "tours of duty" with competent SV engineers instead of long-term, safe, bureaucratic j

Hugging Face is also a for-profit startup. I wonder how betrayed this guy is going to feel betrayed when they launch a paid service...

We do love Kijiji up here, don't we? I have no clue why it's so popular and isn't really a thing anywhere else in the world.

I think you might be misinterpreting him. When I read that, "full of stuff" meant old tickets, process that you had to go to, etc. Slow =/= app performance but general cruft. I don't think he literally meant that the app

What's your question here? The premise of the OP is that they created a fast issue tracker. People complain about Jira being slow (me being one of them.) No one has claimed that all issue trackers are slow. ClickUp, Hive, Linear, are a

I think most of us agree that stereotyping and prejudices are not desirable, regardless if it's by nationality, race, sex, gender, etc.

Sounds like you'd get what you want via a large round from an angel investor.

As someone who has never worked in the restaurant industry, I don't understand, at all, what you mean by this. Could you elaborate?

It's cheaper to get clicks because there's less competition for the keyword. True for a lot of categories right now.

The best jobs? Granted I don't know what "the best jobs" are in Victoria, but that seems surprising. Are there big tech offices in Victoria? If there aren't good jobs there then it's a different story.

We met with Elizabeth virtually (didn't like the idea but wanted to invest if we pivoted.) Very fair process & a sharp person to boot- I don't think we lost anything over an in-person meeting.

I just don't know what this product does. Your messaging appeals to me but I have literally no clue what features or functionality I'm signing up for.

Just to clarify for you because you're not getting the point: People are getting confused because your reply is structured like you disagree with him, because your comment is written like a rebuttal and your tone is derisive. However,

Very interested in seeing how you try to make a business out of this! I spent ~3-4 hours a few weeks ago deciding what analytics products to buy and I ended up creating a cost/benefit sheet on each option. If you guys existed back then

So interesting to hear about this niche problem. I never would have imagined that this would be an issue. When I read the title, I thought.. "duh... just use a backup generator", but the back of the napkin math doesn't seem t
