Most seed-stage companies aren't trying to raise $150mm. And you actually have to tell people who you are.

i figured the opposite might start happening with Softbank's gigantic fund coming online. But I guess if they're going to go after late-stage "winners" and that's how everyone else is going, then maybe tech startup

I'm sorry but no amount of introspection is going to make me go "You know what, he shouldn't pay his taxes!" As for schadenfreude I have no qualms about people getting rich with bitcoin, good for them. People get rich l

I have no idea what I'm looking at. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I think it wasn't a couple of youtube videos and a grid.

tradingview is pretty great for charts. Although doesn't have the news component, i guess.

Github may be what you say, but I definitely prefer it over the bad old days of sourceforge.

Couldn't agree more. Similarly with the commenter who has been voted to the top. The tech industry isn't a great look right now.

That's probably what'll end up happening. Right now people have a hard time imagining it because we've been living in a patriarchal society, but I'm willing to bet that in a generation or two there will be fewer hangups

> Or use LineageOS + microG [1] Eh, that's like arguing that Linux was a viable alternative for the everyday consumer during the Microsoft days. While you _could_ do that in a practical sense most people don't have the know-ho

Could be, but I was just trying to say that if he's after sunny he's got easier options than we Canadians do ;)

There are places in the EU with sunny weather though...certainly more so than Canada! Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Balkans are all as far south as California is. You guys have it pretty good in the EU when it comes to options for living

This whole thread is a dumpster fire of whataboutism and centrist "..but both sides are bad".

otoh there are bridges literally falling down and the country doesn't provide universal healthcare...so it seems government's pockets aren't infinitely deep. Obviously military expenditure is a problem, but so are effective c

Yeah I get the feeling just based on the article and the comments here that people are referring more to the waspy formal dinner party and not so much the more casual / common incarnations. Obviously growing up and all that we would g

I’m not sure I’ve ever been to any dinner parties in my life. I always thought they were an upper middle class wasp thing.

Link to the document they apparently got their information from, instead of a kinda racist and classist rant: https://www.oalj.dol.gov/Decisions/ALJ/LCA/2014/WAGE_AND_HOU...

I'm not really sure how it works under the hood, not being terribly familiar with how these login systems work, but you can basically (in your browser) click "add an account" and it will open a new tab and you can sign into t

IMO Google Maps became completely awful when they made that new version of it, and they've been doing everything in their power to continue making it worse. Sure the scrolling is a lot smoother, but it's missing just a ton of fea

Hate radishes. Love wine, black coffee, and spicy food. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

HN is certainly not politically neutral and you can see that in action every time there's a post about sexual harassment or racism in the workplace.

I love that they don't (appear to) use X11 on macOS anymore. What a pain in the butt it was to setup for a while there.
