Given my experience with Bevy this doesn't happen very often, if ever. The only challenge is not having an ecosystem with ready made everything like you do in "batteries included" frameworks. You are basically building a game

Being on the business side, you can just retain your equity and pay to build a prototype, instead of trying to get people to work for free.

Absolutely agree with this article! My startup days are more than a decade ago but even then it was already well known - hence why tech founders with a bit of experience stay far away from these people. The best part of the article: > [.

The fundamental precondition for all these changes is that capitalism massively increased the overall wealth of Britain. The market did the rest: higher wages, lower prices, new inventions improving life for everyone, increased living stand

Go in the woods, hunt and forage your food. As long as you have no monetary income and cause no trouble, the people with guns won't persecute you. The people with guns still persecute you? Try another country with a less competent gove

A society that can laugh at itself is an homogenous society where citizens share the same values. Today unfortunately that's not the case anymore. This is not a racism problem (the UK historically had a lot of well-integrated immigrati

The concept of "piracy" and copyright is completely ridiculous. Real piracy involves stealing, destroying and killing, not copying numbers. I never entered in a contract with you, producer of goods or innovation, you have no right

Looking forward to try. My current go-to solution is E5-F2 (great cloning, decent delivery, ok audio quality, a lot of incoherence here and there forcing you to do multiple generations). I've just been massively disappointed by Sesame&

As a European the main cons is that most places to be are big cities which are: - Expensive - Crime ridden - Full of homeless and drug addicts I don't care who is your supreme leader of the day, they're all useless. I regret not h

There's also a moral issue at play: To safeguard the interests of a few publishers (sometimes the creators, but they can easily end up with a shitty deal) you remove freedoms to the entire population to copy the same idea. You need a c

Given they're a merchant of records, cost of compliance increased, mainly thanks to europe (that seems to have as a mission to ruin working people' lives as much as possible). Stripe + Lemon Squeezy was a competitor. Paddle is a c

A friend built a startup for years and progress was not looking good. Eventually the entire development team quit and left without equities. The founder was then acquired for millions. Another case: startup running out of money after a ser

My RPI is powered via USB-C but if it's the wrong cable or the wrong power source then it's useless; the device will boot and then restart immediately Pretty useless standard if the specs can vary so much

The camera - the only reason I would buy an iPhone is for the better camera. Sure, the Pixel 8a camera is not bad for the price but it's still noticeably worse. The kind of difference you notice when someone with an iPhone shares photo

Nice tool and it's great to see BlueSky allows you to backdate posts! My main problem with BlueSky is that I get barely any interactions compared to my old Twitter (which also wasn't stellar). It's becoming a tool to listen t

Good article! The only missing bit around COVID was that the cost of the economic policies which were implemented by governments caused an inevitable interest rate increase. Sure, we can argue that the response to COVID was planned in a cer

I think it can work for a short period of time if you have enlightened leaders or if the political machine wants to please you; they always alternate pleasing some people and upsetting others so that they can keep control. Over a long perio

Politicians in the states have more influence and can still do something and effect change. In Europe we're way past that, they are just bureaucrats spinning wheels, extracting value and doing minor changes (some good, some bad), gradu

Non-fiction is a bad term. An historical account is not fiction (because it happened) but it read as well as a fiction book. Agassi's biography would be another example.

No, this happens because you score brownie points if you have a female workforce or a diverse (read non-white) workforce. In many countries (UK in my case) "positive discrimination" (an oxymoron, if you ask me) is enshrined in law

This is why we need to abolish the government. If the government doesn't have any power, they can't do preferential treatment to their cronies. Enough with laws for thee but not for me!
