   > “At the end of the day, I’m available to the highest bidder.” I've heard that a lot from drivers all over the U.S. They run both apps and whichever gives them the next ride, they take.

   It's actually working out pretty well. I would say I get about 1-5 inbound weekly requests from companies like Facebook, Snapchat, AirBnB, Apple, etc. The best part is that recruiters have already done their research for the most part

   I thought about this a few weeks ago. I remember the late 90's actually searching around the web. Now there are so many walled gardens that individual creation is limited to posting a Medium blog or Facebook post. Today, I only visi

   I had to do this for my current job. For me it the task was about 4 hours of work and not a big deal. The main caveat is that I was also in the process of my current work project being discontinued. That means I had 4 months to basically

    Tell me about it! I think it's going to come down to cost. If SpaceX is anywhere near $2,500 a flight, it's going to be a tough slog for Boom.

    There are probably huge strides that can be taken in healthcare, food, energy, transportation and finances. The challenge is that most of these industries are heavily regulated so you go in optimistic then get inundated with endless waves

    You got it, you're right, and I agree. I rarely go into Settings to disable WiFi, but it seems like I'll have to start doing that now.

    You seem to be confused about that post. That only refers to turning off WiFi from Control Center. If you go into settings and turn off WiFi, it will actually turn the radio off. Separately, in Location and Privacy, you can disable loc

    Could you cover the topic of SegWit? Since Bitcoin core has adopted that as their first scaling code change post 1MB blocks, I think it would be helpful to understand what's going on with that.

    This is exactly what I came here to find out. I like most things bout Slack, except when it starts behaving like a web page in the "native" app.

    While you're right, it is huge. This mistake has been made in computing time and time again. You think you've got adequate scale for your solution but you didn't anticipate X which introduces new growth that out paces you

    They are also helpful in terms of space savings. I worked at a startup in Palo Alto in 2011 where we used a 100 GB in memory (Redis) Bloom Filter to de-duplcate links coming in from a real-time social media stream (Facebook, Twitter, Forum

    Amazon (1994), Google (1998), Yahoo (1995), PayPal (1998), Mozilla (1998) and tons of other companies that are well known powerhouses today were all birthed in that era. While I do agree that there are a bunch of socks.com (1997) token equi

    I listened to this YC podcast[1] twice with Juan Benet. Listening to Juan talk about a lot of historical information and the correlations he drew was fascinating. When he tried to explain the need for Filecoin to Dalton, I just didn't
