Maybe we’re splitting hairs. I agree that it wasn’t “sound science”, but one could argue it was evidence based - the evidence being reports/video coming out of China (I believe there was an article in The Atlantic stating this is what

Does this include commercial leases or just residential?

Sometimes the scientific process isn’t an option and intuition is required. Look at the results and tell me you would have preferred they waited in the name of science. SF could have been much closer to the situation in NYC...

Can you lay out the chain of events you imagine (or have been told ) will occur for refusing to pay your leases, or at least pay in full? I’m genuinely curious what would happen if you say, “sorry, not paying.” beyond an eviction. It seems

Can any lawyers chime in here? How would that actually hold up in a copyright lawsuit brought against them?

I think your comment has good intentions by trying to let parent comment know their hiring prospects may not being as daunting as it currently seems, but the immediate social and parental pressures are going to make it hard to see the fores

The reason shooting for completeness is not ideal is because it’s usually a waste of time. Very rarely can founders guess the compete solution to their customers problem out of the gate. It’s the mismatch between what the company imagines

Some examples that come to mind are pesticides/herbicides/synthetic fertilizers. The farming example is very on-point actually. Production agriculture has become synonomous with monocultures (growing one species) to maximize &quot

First, my choice to use the word gift is exactly that - a personal choice. If I believe that psilocybin is a gift, what authority do you have to say I am wrong? You may feel differently, and I would respect that, without pretending I know b

You can make capsules from ground up mushrooms very easily.

Again, totally agree. But are you arguing that not changing/innovating, while refreshing, should be considered tech? I associate tech with innovation and trying something new. Zero to One.

Totally agree. I looked it up out of curiosity... 1995. 25 years in tech is basically a lifetime ago. Has it changed much?

Probably because the players who can amass a billion $ fund would rather put their money somewhere else. You're basically asking why is capitalism capitalism?

Craigslist isn’t a tech company. It’s a website. Not trying to disrespect them as I’m sure they do some impressive stuff behind the scenes to handle scale, I just don't feel they’re innovating in a way to be called “tech”.

No apologies, your answer makes a lot of sense. Thank you for replying and sharing your perspective. Hope all is well.

So how many times has your application been rejected?

Thanks for sharing. I learned something too. What’s interesting to me is that, at least in America, we associate the judicial as government because we consider ourselves a “land of law” and the judicial has the responsibility of determining

My best friend's mom came down with pneumonia two weeks ago, she had all the same symptoms of a COVID patient, but when two separate tests came back negative, the approach to getting her back home and with her family was dramatically d

While I agree with the overall sentiment in regards to supporting end-user privacy, this article’s title is a bit sensational and the body fails to provide enough substance to support such a dramatic claim. It’s an overly idealistic solutio

Thanks. I didn't check the homepage and looked for pricing info in the navigation links, felt it was needlessly difficult. Pricing should be easy to locate from every page for a product like this.

The schadenfreude isn’t necessarily directed towards individuals who choose to work at a startup and have the misfortune of being laid off. I believe it was meant towards an overly aggressive/ borderline reckless leadership mentality t

One issue is the time it may take to get a loan approved and have funds available, especially during a crisis as dramatic as the one we’re in. The other larger issue is that the loan is incredibly high risk because the owner may not ever be

There is a comment in this thread that has a link to the same map, but for back end.

I totally agree. Calling it a step by step guide without providing any context to support the technologies makes this unusable to most beginners. It may have utility for a mid-level dev trying to make sure they’re well polished, but it’s no

Interesting. Connected the the “Learn a Language” box, the only one the author personally recommends is Javascript. All others are labeled as alternate options and while I know this is a subjective resource, that still seems odd to me.

Over generalizing. Small businesses may own all of the same asset types as large corps, just on a different scale.

I think there is a massive market of young people that would love to own a Tesla when they reach the required income level. It’s a green product, from a company with grand ambitions to address climate change, and an incredible car. Everyone
