A lot was through dreams, which I began writing down in my twenties when I got fairly fascinated with lucid dreaming. Other times there were specific memories of abuse that popped into my head after not having conscious access to them since

I believe the technical term is “mild trauma.” No, but seriously, like everything it’s a spectrum. On one end you could call it “somewhat lax parenting” like occasional neglect or emotional/verbal abuse when parents are stressed out. O

Yeah, this is pretty much the most matter-of-fact (and accurate) headline I've seen on hacker news all week. What's funny (funny strange, not funny ha-ha) is that there even need to be headlines about this. In my mid twenties I st

Precisely. 10 bucks says this guy got a substantial increase in severance package directly tied to him taking the fall for this.

What I don’t understand is why everybody is swallowing this latest admission of guilt by FB as the whole truth. Isn’t it just so convenient that the man responsible for this latest clusterfuck is already on his way out? I mean, what are the

So many words in this article. So little evidence or basic fact checking. For example: why did they not release a screenshot with timestamp of the alleged internal memo? This is so obviously a case of Zuck/Sandberg instructing the guy

I’ve definitely noticed the culture changing for the worse as the tech gold rush attracted many whose primary motivator was money and power more than building something great. That said, the quest for power at all costs including deliberate

This nugget made me want to laugh and cry at the same time: "...if Facebook pulled down the Russians’ fake pages, regular Facebook users might also react with outrage at having been deceived: His own mother-in-law, Mr. Kaplan said, had

It's really awesome. The first time I saw a web interface like this was on the Mr Robot website (www.whoismrrobot.com). Ironically, it looks like they've updated the site since then with a GUI. But originally it included a DOS-lik

Awesome job on the terminal-app-as-webpage concept. I like how it also fits in with your meta "IDE to learn programming" concept. It made slightly more sense to me when I saw it on context at this URL: https://repl.it&#

After 15 years working in Silicon Valley startups, I am as jaded and cynical as they come, but this is really refreshing. A VC making a stand for values, and having the balls to admit that his own hands aren’t entirely clean? Outstanding. W

And so it begins. The Facebook backlash finally reaches the shareholders. Grab some popcorn, the next few quarters are going to be decidedly interesting for anyone long on FB.

Oh man, where to begin. Here are a few things I learned the hard way from my first time fundraising in 2011 (3 months full time, a few all nighters working on the deck, closed $1M+). It’s a power game. Every single aspect of it. The typical

Hi Anjana, thank you for working to tackle such an important problem. I am of the class male-founder-survivor and I'm interested in learning about the upcoming expansion. Is there a way to sign up for a waitlist?

This is seriously great work. Thanks to all involved for making it happen. My one quibble is, why limit this to only female founders? Male founders can also experience sexual harassment and coercion from authority figures. I am speaking fro

Smart move. I used SendGrid and Twilio years ago, they basically solved the email and SMS dev-ops problem for more product focused engineers like myself. Two companies with a solid product consolidating, hopefully that will lead to better i

“When the brain builds a model of the world, everything has a location relative to everything else,” Mr. Hawkins said. “That is how it understands everything.” This is an exciting idea to me. I don’t fully understand it, but it resonates on

Not credible. The original source makes one bogus claim that the journalist’s fingerprint was used to unlock Apple Watch. Nice idea, but Touch ID doesn’t exist for watch. It would be active on his phone, but the same source reports that his

In other news, the psychiatric industrial complex is making untold billions by profiting off of depression and related forms of acute and chronic mental trauma. Which is part of the plan, therefore not newsworthy.

There’s a lot of market research readily available, admittedly of questionable quality. But the more reliable weather vane is estimating when Apple will launch their smartglasses. Add 5 years to that for when glasses disrupt smartphones. At
