I talked to several people (not just 1) and am still friends with some to this day. This was an event held by LINK ( https://www.libertyinnorthkorea.org/ ) which I already wrote in both the article and this thread. You can go

In 2018, I got connected to 5 refugees who escaped North Korea to the USA. What surprised me was all 5 were able to escape by different variations of saving up enough money to bribe people along the way. The only way to save up money for th

The next incoming trend of startups is Buy Now, Pay later. A series of companies will offer you to keep your standard of living and assume you can pay it off at a later date. Many will abuse these services assuming they can have their pre-C

I’ve been burned a few times but realized how I need to vet and communicate better before and while working with someone. I had a chance to see a venture fail for reasons other than an incompetent cofounder which was educational. And I had

On Facebook you decide who you follow and get notifications from. This is a bad take.

This is a hard question, like asking how you make friends. I don’t go to conferences myself. But if I consider people in my network who I would vouch for it’s: - Classmates from schools or various programs who I became friends with or joine

I don't think networking is something that takes tons of time. Just be nice and curious. Show yourself to be honest, reliable, and hardworking. Maybe go to dinner every couple of weeks. I agree with you that there so is many language f

I would only add to this that you need to network and grow your skills to prevent potential ageism in the industry. They would involve making lots of friends in the industry and continually learning. I would suggest really really deep learn

They have the option to not include it, it’s called the API. I, for one, am happy such an influential company understands the urgency of this issue and is taking a “default on” stand. If the US government ever gets rational again, they will

You have a few options. 1. Have you been growing less since those competitors have come into the space? If you didn’t know they existed, would you even be worried? Have you actually lost any customers to them? If not I wouldn’t worry. 2. Ar

Fantastic use of workers! I added the ability to do captcha submissions from my site and send alerts to slack myself. I opted not to go the worker route as I found the language a bit hard to use and I could get the same effect with just jav

It is fascinating to me how this crowdsourcing of money and trust cycle seems to jump around every couple of years, from Kickstarter and now in DAOs. After enough bad actors, it will move on again to somewhere without a bad history. Does an

I agree with the other comment and go further. Pick a stack and a deployment and just get really familiar with how it works so you can copy and paste for each project. If you need a suggestion - Django with Postgres on Heroku is consistentl

The value of domains at these prices are like startups. They are bought, not sold and based entirely on if a company with money wants it badly enough. I agree on your assessment that it would likely have been 7 figures. 8 if they knew it wa
