It's the same thing as a US company wanting to sell to Europe but not wanting Euros, because they pay their costs in USD. I think the point here is probably that Paypal is noticing that an increasing amount of consumers have crypto and

I agree. I love Rails and think that it was beautifully designed for its purpose, but it's absolute hell once you start trying to integrate React and more complex frontend stuff into it through its view system (vs using it as an API an

there is a lot of fuss about bitcoin energy needs, but plenty of proof that it's not well founded. You compare it to Visa, but actually visa does only part of what bitcoin does (transactions), and does it using _other_ systems themselv

To me it seems like OP simply refuses to evolve and wants to keep writing HTML and CSS like 10 years ago while frontend today is more complex.

so $573M settlement for 450000 overdoses. So they value life at $1275. The Sackler family is worth $13b. Ridiculous.

definitely, but then you also miss the opportunity to build relationships between someone who loves basketball and someone who does not. So everything is a trade off :)

I've built such strong relationships through games, with people I've never met, that I can't agree more with that. The limit is that games will have the same effects as other "offsite" activities. Some people will b

Tracking has become so bad that it seems like users have to spend money (more bandwidth) to protect themselves from it. Crazy and sad to see where we've come :\

I have no data, but more remote people either has 0 impact, or impact on more data sharing online. Lots of businesses still work a lot on paper (think lawyers, notaries, etc) especially while working with clients, and are not forced to shar

I have, again, for the nth time, stopped using firefox a few weeks ago because it started again to be much smaller at page load than chrome/safari. It's sad to always have to switch back and forth because its development is so uns

The big scare at the time Uber started it's own unit was that "once Waymo or another competitor has self driving cars, it will be easy to offer a ride share network and compete with Uber"

by jypepin 6y ago
That's just not true. Way before Uber IPO'ed and started aiming at profitability next year, self-driving cars was the big thing for Uber's future. (Disclaimer, I worked at Uber 2014-18).

For me, it's the opposite - I'm very close to paying for youtube premium and not have ads anymore.

SO is over 10 years old now and hasn't changed much - I'm wondering what makes the investors think that profits will come and now is a good time to invest more money.

by jypepin 6y ago
So when a H1b holder enters the US with their H1b, there is no way for the border official to know if it's real? That seems impossible to me.

YC is supposed to be an exclusive program funding companies they believe will work. I find it interesting that they choose to change their investing program instead of changing their application program. Why not keep the program smaller and
