The first link you posted an article from over 25 years ago from an organization that denies human caused climate change and prioritizes science that makes their donors happy. I would take it with a grain of salt.

It's hard to argue that they have not made some of the most important inventions of the past 100 years: - A personal computer that people could afford (Apple II) - Nice GUIs, window based operating system, etc for the masses (Macintosh

For sure agree with this—letting your employees get a (very small) windfall themselves might make it easier for them to justify hard work and (potentially) lower pay. It also just shows you really care about your employees.

If you're working on a really hot research topic, you can come back to industry with a much better resumé + probably pay check. I know for ML research if you want to ever 'make it big' you basically need to do a phd at a top

Keep in mind some founders have had careers before starting a company (average age of YC founders is like early 30s?) so they might have 10 years experience leading teams + some significant victories that came from their startup. If someone

I believe he was 1 of 4 co-founders, and then raised 11 (according to crunch base) financing rounds. If you get diluted even a very reasonable amount 11 times, you won't end up with a large percentage of the company. Basically if a com

Yes but present and accessible is a low bar. For most companies you have to email support to make this happen.

I use pipenv for this. I found it sometimes annoying but generally sufficient. Pyenv and pip both seemed too weak or complex. Pipenv was just simple. I would only write code within my pipenv environment, and then when I deployed the code pi

This is a great process for becoming a nice-cashflow side project, but I doubt there's enough people searching for linux commands for this to ever be huge. Not saying this isn't a great idea, just saying that it's wise to hed

The way I see it, there are 2 factors that make it hard to get keurig speed + convenience and good coffee: 1) Since brew time is a function of temperature and ground size, K-pods can use hotter water and finely ground coffee to speed up ext

JavaScript lets you code however you want. It gives you a million ways to do everything. This can definitely be confusing, slow, and overwhelming. However, if you choose a paradigm and stick to it JavaScript can be great. I've been usi

https://www.notion.so/ It's like Google Docs + Trello + a Wiki. We use it for our product roadmap and task management, and can easily link to documentation, specs, or discussion all in one platform. I'm a huge fan

I think if you have wet sand it's then possible to make a well and get clean water. Basically it seems like the water flows more slowly and then sinks into the water table, which can then be accessed by wells (also lets plant tap into

I think there are 2 common cases for SAAS startups here: 1. The founding team is very technical and doesn't want to make sales/talk to customers themselves. In this case, it will be difficult to achieve success without taking on a

Assuming you use water-based sauces and mostly pre-ground spices, the easiest way to fix the spice issue would be just to put all of the spicy ingredients in a separate container and let customers add those in at their discretion. For most

I'm a current student taking CS classes. I find there's 2 types of CS classes for me: 1. Classes where the content is better presented on Youtube, so I don't go to class and just watch the youtube videos on it. There are some

Great succinct list. It is the same for me, except I have a mandatory "spend time with love ones and close friends" in there, and I don't meditate regularly enough.

First, you should internalize that your happiness is far more important than how much money you make. If you could give all your money away to be happy forever, you certainly should, even though it means you are broke and homeless. With tha

You could certainly do that, but you would need to create the training dataset. It would require many thousands of photos of real and counterfeit bags up close. Image recognition has been mostly solved by ML techniques, so if you just assem

I disagree- when doing something in life you can tell very quickly how it makes you feel, but when investing in a company it can be difficult to see how the company will do.

I think a lot of people are stressed or sad when they are just going 100% on something difficult. They are probably just looking out for you. When my friends get crazy busy for a long time on something I tell them to take little breaks and

Probably the work that is considered hobbies now. And lots more music/arts festivals, and other fun purely human things. That's assuming that the wealth distribution is designed carefully. Obviously if 1-10 organizations dominate

I'd imagine you could split it in different ways too-- technical employees, employees in the Mountain View office, all employees, etc.

It's not a PR win, but it's a mitigated loss. They may have thought by not firing him they were endorsing his opinion, especially when many people were calling for him to be fired.

I think the product's design is pretty different though. If you want only text as well as photo-centric options, that's hard to design. Also, if you want people to spend 2 minutes reading a profile before deciding if it's som

I'm not sure if gene editing is really the quickest way to see more colors-- I would assume that a Brain Computer Interface solution would happen sooner.

I'd imagine part of it is just having to test all the edge cases-- for every language is their full neural better? That, and also building a good pipeline for it to work at scale.
