I see what you did there - Nice puff piece to get the Salesforce corpdev drones to start buzzing around you guys to lay the seeds to an eventual acquisition ;)

Coincidentally, happen to be in Kerala on a work related trip. The "Newton" of India/Indic/Hindu culture would be Madhava of Sangamagrama[1], the founder of the Kerala School of Math. Did some impressive work on calculus

"The single greatest national security threat for India is Indians' abject incompetence in governing themselves." Why don't you learn from your Northerly neighbors (China) on how to run government? One thing I find in my

This is certainly a helpful resource but quite conflicted on whether Theranos' deck should be in here (along with the disclaimer) even if it's just for historical purposes.

This is a classic submarine PR hack to "defuse" the trade war, by showing an emphatic side. One can easily get away with such statements that can't be demonstrably proven and hence needs to be thrown away, since it's jus

The multiple term sheet negotiation strategy is generally a myth. [1] Most startups even the ones that are decently successful would be lucky to even get 1 given the enormous time sink (and seems to be corroborated by the data in the blog p

N00b question - why is it called pseudo-3d? It looks and feels very much 3d like a three.js output.

PMF is nothing but a framework, a mental model, a bunch of heuristics rather than a magic bullet. Yes, the ecosystem is constantly changing - but at any given moment in time, you have a specific product targeting a specific market. PMF is a

You guys certainly have product market fit for the free articles (atleast using HN as a proxy) :) Curious to see if the same reception is there for the paid content, especially given that the topics you cover have a lot of free articles and

Million dollar question - how are the remote stripes going to be compensated? Are they going to be compensated pegged on their geo-locale (which then just makes it like international offices without the office)? I'm pretty sure the dub

Great idea but however equally great caveat - it's just for (forward) inference. Unix pipelines are fundamentally one way and this approach won't work for back propagation.

you're attacking a straw man. I didn't deny the worth or value of a good engineer. "And good hires are worth their weight in gold." => So don't they deserve a chunk of the 10K triplebyte gets, considering triple

^^The incentives are misaligned among recruiters, candidates, and employers when recruiters only want to place someone just long enough to hit the 90-day mark. Precisely! That's why I think Triplebyte.com is such an overrated company.

Do you know if these phones will be exported to the US or just for domestic consumption in India? Also how "complicated" is the manufacturing? Is it just lsat-mile assembling of all pre-made components shipped in from the US, Chin

A serious caveat about relying on Glassdoor. Glassdoor doesn't do absolutely any verification - no corporate email address verification, etc. Anyone can place any review for any company! Here is an experiment at it - Techloaf (The Regi

^Thanks for the comments. As I said there is a spectrum of startups. You have to make your own judgement - especially if you're joining 3-5 person startups without any funding. But that said the median Valley-based Series A/B&#x2F

Honest question: Why does every blog post that talks about working with a startup, always pick Facebook and Google for the comparison? Both these companies are extreme outliers (probably in the history of business!). Their outsized pay come

Why not call a spade a spade. Better title would be "We need to talk about systematic fraud in China" It's hardly a secret. Any grad student in America already knows this - about the blatant/incredulous cheating and plag
