It seems like many major cities of the world are experiencing this problem, and no city has been able to come up with a good solution. It always leads to displacement and newspaper articles about displacement, but no real solutions. Here ar

The most recent companies funded Y Combinator seem to exist in the intersection between code and domain expertise in law, medicine, finance or other advanced industries. It seems to be harder to make it work with a "pure code" sta

IPredator is a Swedish VPN service that appeared when the "Ipred" law was passed in Sweden, a law that was passed to allow rights holders to find and prosecute people who torrent stuff. So most likely, it's used for piracy.

Project management SaaS is a suuper crowded space. You appear to be targeting businesses, educators, designers, organizers, writers, web developers, logistics planners, therapists, and probably more that didn't fit on the screen. If yo

It's interesting to note how the styles of Russell Okung's article and PG's response are so different. Okung draws analogies to sports, men on hills, uses rhetorical questions, and talks about dreams and compassion. It's

Look at the people who derive their influence from the Bitcoin ecosystem. Do you agree with their views? Do you find them generally friendly? Are you happy giving them more power by buying Bitcoin? This was what made me stay out of Bitcoin.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that SoundCloud gets into the ring to compete with Spotify, Apple Music et al. SoundCloud shines for small musicians, independents, for actually building a community around music. The other players do

I think this is one of the most interesting essays he's written in a while, and it echoes many of my own thoughts better than I could express them. PG seems to argue that the fragmentation of society is a question of efficiency. A natu

The idea is nice, but cynical me can't escape the idea that Product Hunt is successful in part because it is a mirror of reality, where capital and connections are the reigning currency. If you create a platform where capital and conne

Alternative theory: the more successful you are, the more well-read you need to appear. I've read some 25 books this year, not an awful lot but also probably above the population average. I struggle to recommend any one as a life-chang

I'm told that it's easier for musicians/artists to get O-1 visas than for software engineers. Are software engineers disadvantaged from getting the O-1, simply because the visa wasn't designed for software talent?

I wonder why, in the debate about fossil fuels, we never bring up the point that oil has been the cause of a lot of issues in the Middle East. Many guns and bombs have gone off in order to get to the Middle Eastern oil, and much of the fund

Let's not be so quick to cast judgment on the US. Europe's colonial history is pretty unflattering as well, and also plays a big part in the middle eastern mess. It's certainly not all about the Iraq war.

I see many people here being skeptical about the arguments for diversity, and asking what the utility is for Twitter. But part of the question is about the utility for minorities as well. This debate is really about minorities being shut ou

Alternatively, why not embrace immutability and add native immutable data structures to JS? I believe there is a TC39 proposal for this, in fact. Even if O.o had become mainstream, I would've stayed away from it. The immutability trend

The value of the contract is $1 + $X dollars in expected future revenue from having 18F on your resume, which is probably higher than the starting bid of $3499. $1 is win-win, because reputation is really valuable in our world.
