   How coupled together is the native currency and assets that need trust? Meaning, suppose you wanted to swap in a different crypto coin for the native currency one day, is that a major rewrite or more like a plug in?

   He's stating facts about his startup. It's not like he's giving some opinion on something he's not qualified for. It's like saying we shouldn't ask Woz we he made Apple Basic.

   I run this service: https://screenslicer.com It can search, extract fields, and page through results--automatically (no config). A full-featured developer API will be available soon for finer-grained control.

   I don't respond under the assumption that the recruiters are sending hundreds of messages and really only care about responses from people who are interested. I assume my lack of response won't be noticed and that notifying them I

   And FYI, EINs are surprisingly easy to get. Maybe 5-10 minutes. I guess the IRS doesn't want to make you jump through hoops for you to pay them taxes.

   From their perspective it's probably as reasonable for you to sign their contract as for them to sign yours. That said, you should definitely read and understand what you're signing, suggest revisions before signing, and pass it b

   I would recommend writing apps as much as you can from "scratch" (do use standard libraries for your language, but shy away from big libraries or platforms that aren't a core part of the language). I think this helps ensure y

   That's ultimately driven by a concern in showing that: (1) you can learn quickly and (2) that you're a good enough programmer to be able to build things independently. A side projects section can show that, and so can properly fra

   I think that the cloud will win, if only because it's the logical first step for any small customer (which you can later up-sell). And large customers will be won over when you tell them they never have to upgrade again and that uptime

    There are no expectations for middle managers or for sole-contributors, from what I've found. If you're under this assumption then you're living in a bubble or you're unknowingly signaling to people that your hobbies do

    What they mean is that in the face of criticism exactly such as yours, that Microsoft will not revert to server-closet, workstation first in order to keep the easy flow of cash coming. Think AOL at the start of the broadband era. Microsoft

    What about just this: for every dollar that is created, 50 cents of it goes to a basic income fund. Right now, banks and government contractors receive a disproportionately high amount of the newly printed money. Also, we need to reform cor

    I think you need to (1) find a significant other and (2) partake in debauchery. I say this because you seem to be myopically focused on business/success, and despite doing pretty well for yourself, you've derived almost no satisfa

    I have found it helpful to approach your first customers from the mindset of a consultant... who happens to have most of the work done already. Take your pre-built software and integrate it to be a solution for your customers. You'll l

    Garbage collection would be a problem in realtime algos. And efficiency is ~10x slower than C. But as far as writing bug free code, I'd take JavaScript over C. But I'd take Java over both of them and the JVM has a lot of GC config

    If you have enough business that you need a scheduling solution, I don't think $90/mo for all-you-can-eat SaaS is anything businesses would think twice about. Actually, I think it's odd how Square Cash is totally free and alw

    I don't see any reason to feel bad for consumers. Journalism couldn't get much worse than it already was. At least native advertising is still more explicit than, say, defense contractor GE beating the war drum via NBC/MSNBC.

    I don't think the corporate structure matters at this point. If you get investors they'll want a C-corp anyhow and you can hire a lawyer to create it once you have investor interest. If you want to limit liability, an LLC won&#x27
