I want to give a heads up to everyone who runs, or is thinking about running an open source project. If your project sees ANY notoriety and you are the maintainer, you will quickly find yourself in this situation. In 2013, I started a lit

These businesses could still survive, but prices are going to have to start raising as subsides (Private Equity mainly) pull back. The next question will be, is the $6 dollar burger still worth it when it costs $14 to deliver?

It's that easy, except when it isn't. I tried to buy that upgrade last year when Tesla was offering a discount and I couldn't find the buy button anywhere. At the time I sent an email saying something like "I've nev

I used to live less than half a mile from Google, but I always thought the smell was due to the train that runs along the busway. Some mornings the smell there was extremely pungent, but it was definitely something that I smelled the entire

Op here! I started working on this project a year ago in a attempt to bring myself some sanity. Reading the news nowadays is a real struggle for me because of all of the sensational, non-news, click-bait, and fluff that is stuffed in to try

I was talking to a few people in a slack channel the other day about the potential market for a whole set of "dumb" appliances. At the end of the day, we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a able to reach mass market

If you buy a smart TV, disable these features, disable network connectivity, and then plug in another 3rd party box you should be fine right?

Thanks for commenting on your use case. I primarily do software engineering and outside of sending large machine learning data sets, I couldn't think of a personal reason to use this.

Another challenge along the previous 4 years was leadership turnover. In the last 4 years, I've had 4 managers. No one every really lasted more than a year. My most recent manager quit to start a stealth startup around the time I switc

The promo process story hits home with me. I was trying to get promoted a few years back at my company. Over the previous 4 years, I built out a lot of systems, fixed critical bugs in our software stack, stayed late during crunch mode ensur

I was saying this to my friend about 18 months ago. This process seems very similar to what happened with Steve Jobs. 1. founder starts company 2. board replaces abrasive founder with operator 3. founder fully exits company (except

This reminds me of "There are dozens of us... DOZENS"[1]. While I am happy that people are diversifying their social network choice, 160k is a rounding error to Facebook. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKie-

Does this get rid of ads? I would pay for this if all of the Ads in Search, Gmail, YouTube, and every other Google product they pushed went away.
