Looks cool! Any plans for pinning and bundling/one click archiving entire bundles? Those two features are what I miss most since getting kicked off Inbox.

I think your comment should have a disclaimer that you work for Google. But, to address what you said, the point being made is that if someone say made a clone of Google, that had better search results than Google, that Google would penaliz

$90k upfront plus $12k /year? Perhaps these public restrooms are better than the alternative, but it seems to me that Germany has successfully solved this issue for far less cost by partnering with local businesses [1]. For just the co

Ah, I was under the assumption that 400 microns was implied to be at least within an order of magnitude of the threshold, so for example I assumed the signal transmission worked at at least 40 microns, which is still 1000x the synaptic clef

What happens if a fine is greater than the value of a multi-national company's operations in a country? As $4.2 billion is ~10% of UBS's market cap, does UBS derive more than 10% of its value from within France? If not, might they

A synaptic cleft is like 40 nm, or 10,000x smaller than 400 microns, so it seems the scales of typical communication are enough orders of magnitude smaller to be an implausible explanation?

That sounds good. So long as founders are aware of all the implications, then there's nothing wrong with any particular arrangement. I would be careful about a structure potentially disincentivizing growing a business faster, though. O

IANAL, but it's ambiguous from my reading—leaning towards no, not without them accepting. The reason being that the reduction in the 'Return Cap' is through a quarterly pay-off-mechanism as a percentage of earnings, set out i

In principle this seems pretty cool, but the gap between what's communicated on the website, and what's actually contained in the 'Shared Earning Agreement' [1] makes me concerned this might be good marketing on a fundam

It's not such an involved process anymore as apps can link people directly to the submenu within settings to modify the permissions of the said app.

Yeh, the exploding complexity due to the increasingly wide choice of tools seems like it could exacerbate already steep learnings curves for software development—but if you don't have some teacher/learning source that you just dec

This varies by technology, but often you can get productive within a day or two with these technologies. I mean, the core Vue docs (entire essentials section, from Introduction through Components), is 12k words, including code. At 50 wpm (1

To push back a little against this notion—is this even true? On the web front-end, I develop with React and Vue, which were released in 2013 and 2014 respectively. On the backend, I primarily use Phoenix, which was released in 2015. On the

Definitely could be, but they must have gone through the trouble of setting up a larger number of little nodes if that's the case, as a lot of the largest exit nodes on the network have known operators. For example, as of a few weeks a

The suppression of the viewing of the human body in its natural form, especially in art, is one of the deepest perversions of society. It seems so intrinsically tied to the suppression and control of pleasure by institutions seeking dominan

That number thrown out at the end is pretty mind-blowing: Google pays almost a tenth of their total revenue just to stay as the default search browser on Safari on iOS and MacOS. And Apple gets nearly 5% of its total revenue from this one d
