A significant number of individuals using this rule use it in bad faith. E.g subletting the place without paying the landlord rent because they cannot be evicted. The landlord will never be paid and take a loss

I agree you can learn many lessons about what not to do. The broader point I'm making here is that there's a billion things not to do and a few things you should do. The successful startups will also make mistakes, iterate, and te

The point is that the valuable lessons and growth on how to effectively build a successful startup only occurs at those high success high growth companies. I've been at successes and failures. You learn much more from success.

I've worked at multiple startups sub 50 to >1000 (unicorn status) and have founded and sold my own company. I've also worked at a few of the FAANGs. This is common advice, especially among VCs since it's one of the key ben

How does this work? Brake pads don't seem like they should be different on an EV. It's really just the engine components that should have less wear and tear and those only come into play at the 30k and 60k mark

The most illogical part of this is that tips already account for inflation because... They're a percentage! But the vast majority of people can't understand math so fall for the argument of tips needing to increase to help match i

I've worked in the housing industry. The unfortunate reality here is that it's really hard to tell if discrimination actually happened because appraisals are all fluff anyway and that kind of a difference between two different app

Just an FYI, Zillow is litigious and your entire service goes against their ToS. They will sue if this takes off and doesn't help them to somehow.

He's a sales PM though. Is this not exactly what you want? Smooth talking will close deals. Good development doesn't need to happen at the customer site in a sales meeting.

At least in the bay, it kind of has if you include housing... 2000 was a low point and we're at a high point now.

You and your article are wrong. Place extra metal on one side near and edge and run the experiment again. All because you can't imagine a way to do it doesn't mean it can't be physically done. This is a lesson kids. Randos on

There are senior engineers at FANG with 3 years of experience. So no I wouldn't say it's too much

Tom is being disingenuous here. And he's well aware where the sleight of hand lies. The VPE today is getting more equity but the startup is overvalued and won't exit to the public market at the save growth rate. 10 years ago, you&

This reads as he's in the honeymoon phase of startup world. The politics he mentioned get so much worse in startup world the moment the startup hits a road bump

If you're an engineer, the path is very straightforward. HN may not like this path, but it is tried and true and has never failed any individual. 1. Practice leet code until you can solve all medium and some hard questions. 2. Apply co

You've had a lot of experience in all the wrong places for this type of recruiter inbound. Join Meta. Move to Silicon Valley. Then tell me what you're experiencing 2 years later.

Lived in LA and SF. This article's research is poorly done. Ask 100 people who have been in both cities and 99 will say SF comes out significantly more expensive.

Sounds like a UC degree is getting less and less valuable from a signaling perspective. They ignored the research results of their own team and professors which conclusively showed standardized testing was the highest signal for academic su

The genius of Eric Wu is that he created a premium product for home sellers wanting convenience. Even when we give you an offer, we tell you up front to go test the market with an agent if you want to price optimize.

I ran Opendoor's pricing unit for the years leading up to IPO. I can say that this designer has a fundamental misunderstanding of the housing market and the Seller mindset which is likely why leadership ignored him. In housing, EVERY O

Looks like neither one was higher than L6 at Facebook. It's a loss but nothing the company will cry over and it'll barely impact anything

Former Data Scientist... This person is just attention seeking. The only people at FB who design algorithms are ML Engineers under the SWE ladder. You can immediately disregard this piece.

You're way overselling this. This commentary is true maybe for the northern part of China close to the Korean peninsula. Southern China doesn't give a rats ass what happens to Korea.

I don't have the same recollection Solomon does and I was in the room. The Google guys had an opinionated view of the world based upon experience and wanted logical justification for why their method was not superior. Solomon's &q

I agree with the logic, but I'd argue that the macro trend and market/brand position vs Tim cook has more to do with that 10x return. That is attributable to Jobs over Cook.

Agree, but I've been inside multiple pockets of FB including one that is consistently considered one of the worst. Even if did not compare to startups. Anecdata can be very reliable if you understand the source
