The head of YC will always give advice that helps their cause. They will not say "go get a job elsewhere and don't work for the companies we invest in". Setting aside if that is good advice or not you should always consider t

Microsoft will reap the rewards of supporting XP and Office for decades, that wins enterprise trust & goodwill, and clients will expect that from Azure. On the other hand, every month we have a new product/service of Google being d

I'll never forget the train wreck the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs interview was. She kept interrupting them and adding nonsensical meta commentary ("oh that was sweet"). You can see in their faces that both were uncomfortable w

Sounds like he just took notes of his PR management lessons, do you think they throw a CEO without teaching him how to interact with journalists? That's not his personality, see early videos of CEOs to see how their personality really

I would interpret it as a push back to using Javascript for everything and anything, unless it's clearly marked as this is for fun and a learning experience. People will easily jump in and say but why Javascript? and the answer is almo

Performance is an after though, users notice new and shiny features but performance gains are not seen as a feature. Plus, developing code that is functional and performant is actually a challenge, which few can do and still deliver on time

Apple and Steve Jobs for that matter basically invented cross-competition inside the same company. He pushed for different teams to work on the same problem and then compared solutions. Even from the Mac vs Lisa days to the iPhone initial d

It's more of Thiel influence of 'build a cult' on Zuckerberg and also his inability to listen from other respectable figures for their opinions. I got that vibe from the article of the Whatsapp founders. Seems that Zuckerberg

Why is it a 'perfect' counter-example against my description if it involves beards and job applications when I was talking about income and applying to universities? Is that perfect? Get me counter-example where at least income wa

I don't think income is a protected class, therefore the government shouldn't care and Harvard could pick and choose based on that freely. Also, it's not a 'race' to have money so it's not racist.

Put yourself in his shoes, do you prefer to go after the stock or have him do something desperate and bring a rando with 'cofounder' power to your business? Don't know the specifics, but I know better than to judge quickly.

People give value to the currency, if we stop using it it becomes just paper. Maybe that would apply for gold standard backed currency.

You mean the people instead of government right? Gov is basically the employees we choose to administer part of our money.

Nice! also scan if you are likely to cause any trouble for the company or are high medical risk therefore elevating costs for the company.

I've seen those criticisms but you have to remember this is before the Internet and before cross communication with other countries, etc. It's a stretch, do those critics expect them to be investigating something and spending hard

Searching for Sugar Man, do not watch the trailer or read on it. It will spoil the documentary! If you like music, 60s, justice, Bob Dylan and feel good story its a must watch.

Anybody know if it's easy to reverse engineer or strip parts of the application when deploying PyQt5 apps? Or do you need extra measures to obfuscate the code to protect certain logic?

Not to mention if they have automatic backup enabled on the phone, it bypasses the E2E encryption and adds another third party to the list that can read the messages. You never know if the other person has it enabled or not. https:/&#

If you have 1M+ and still working you are rich. If you have 1M+ plus a constant income stream without working you are wealthy. The idea comes from wealthy people, not people that work hard and get rewarded accordingly.

Yes but there's another caveat there, I don't have that info. How do I know that Google Reader (remember it?) generates data that can be mined for their profit and how do I know it doesn't until they announce that they kill i
