Stephen Hawking defined an entire generation. Say what you will but he created a culture far beyond that of just a physicist. He was both parodied and revered.

The fact that they are offering a bit of money is a good sign that they respect the process.

Isn't the point of AWS / RDS to be able to scale infinitely? I don't remember if RDS has one of their data backends that they are using.

Wow this must be cathartic to even write. If you had a chance would you take the seed money again? How about the VC money?

I have some previous experience with this. It's okay to lose passion in the business. From a logical standpoint your best bet may be to find someone to replace you (since you clearly want to leave anyway). The new person might decide t

That was a very informative video. My respect for the CEO shot up quickly. He wasn't really trying to sell anything but simply illustrating points of concern. I can tell he very much enjoys doing what he does.

I had so many issues trying to install python3 in an existing server that I ended up having to go back. pip kept complaining and it was just really annoying. Then some libraries were not compatible and it felt like it wasn't worth it.

A good spec is really hard. I am thinking about writing parsers for HTML and SMTP which are super difficult.

While we are on the subject of tipping does anyone find it slightly annoying that every point of sale system now is configured to ask for an additional tip? Clover, Revel, Square, etc. Some have different levels of UX where you are basicall

Your insurance number is pretty low. Also I'd say most people don't buy $1000 cars.

I'd be curious about the early stage YC company. Maybe PM me if you'd be open to discussing if it is same one I am thinking of.

Do you mean a word by 8 bits? Or 16 or whatever the architecture defines as a word? So 1000 gets flipped to 0001 ?

100% agree on the messaging here. Is it use it or lose it type flights? I didn't even notice the private terminal stuff (didn't get that far). I thought it was some type of group buying thing on big carriers like Delta, etc. Priva

This is a fantastic read. Timing attacks are insidious and tend to crop it in the oddest places. I first learned of them when learning how to securely compare strings (used a lot with passwords). A naive implementation means that you can ea

Umm this is very shortsighted and absolutely trash. There are many types of users and some don't care if it fails in a blue moon. Hell 99% might be good enough if the price was right.

On the flip side I enjoy playing Hearthstone and getting a chance to enjoy it for free. In a way it is kind of like shareware back in the day.

Investors are seeing this as a non-event. He's still going to be around, just a much more limited capacity. More interesting is who they decide to appoint.

Why are we even having this debate? There are some ORMs that bring so much value to the table that you'd be stupid not to use them. Example being Django's ORM or SqlAlchemy. Also be specific in what ORM you are comparing to raw SQ

Not to discourage the article but just because people smile in SE asia a lot doesn't necessarily mean they are happy all the time. A lot of it is cultural as well.

"In January 2016, the New York attorney general fined Uber $20,000 for failing to promptly disclose an earlier data breach in 2014." Because you know...20k really really hurts for a company like Uber.

Wow there is such valuable advice in this entire thread. After you churn through it hopefully you'll be able to get a better handle on where your product is. For me it just doesn't solve any problem.

Homelessness has a lot of parallels to education and how we teach kids. In schools we need lessons that are individualized to a student. Not every student learns the same. The buzzword that goes around is individualized instruction. The sam
