Not affiliated with YC, but here are some reasons about why B2B would be more appealing to YC. YC offers a big competitive advantage to B2B (especially tech B2B) through its network. YC offers a large network of potential customers and ear

Another potential difference could be prioritization of work-life balance, which would generally be better at a FAANG company than a startup.

My impression is that there is an idea, and they are intentionally not explaining it to the public yet

"Their profits come from helping students to cheat and I would be amazed if they don't know this." I worked briefly at Chegg and the only viewpoint I heard expressed, from either management or regular employees, was that the

I think they might have meant "using a library" in the context of computer classes, like sorting a list using a library

This seems like an obvious answer in the US where the top 10 are all very elite schools. In a small country where there is a big gap between one and ten, it might make sense to transfer. I chose an okay state school instead of a top 10 sch

Reaper Man was one of the first ones I read, and after reading 20 or so now, the plot about the snow globe things is still the most bizarre by far. It’s definitely one of the most Pratchett-y but not necessarily one I would recommend to rea

The "problem" is the fact that the commenter, as well as many other readers, find Shakespeare's language difficult to parse and enjoy. Obviously this is subjective. My only point was that the difficulty is more attributable

The dated language is only part of the problem. The bigger issue in my opinion is that most of his plays are written like poems, intentionally using lyrical rather than natural language. Consider the lines: "Good pilgrim, you do wrong

Perhaps what they meant is that it could gain democratic traction within the states where abortions are restricted.

The DOJ site has some accessibility problems: - links don't meet WCAG AAA contract guidelines - focus is not communicated with a reasonable amount of distinction in many cases. Ex: https://imgur.com/a/bcrScWg May

There is a safe harbor for business with under 15 employees, but otherwise, yes

I don't disagree, and I am not trying to argue that these laws aren't a good thing. But I'm also not sure the lawsuits are going to make a big difference. My last company, despite facing an actual accessibility lawsuit, was

It is easy to make a basic web form, e-commerce site, or blog post accessible. But the web is largely becoming a space for arbitrarily-complex, fully-interactive applications. Today's web is full of products with: - complex informati

I usually write out Pacific Time out of concern that not everyone would immediately recognize PT as an acronym. Most scheduling systems use the full acronym.

I would say time of day is not completely arbitrary, but it also does not require exact alignment with physical phenomena to have meaning. For example, if one were to say it is 12pm, people would understand roughly where we are in the diurn

My personal pet peeve is when people write the Standard Time acronym when scheduling cross-timezone meetings, despite the fact that it is Daylight Saving Time. (Eg. "I'll call you tomorrow at 4pm PST.") In the past, I'v

Yeah, most of my mom’s family is like this. They don’t believe in most on the heaven and hell stuff literally but see Catholicism as part of their cultural identity as Irish-Americans

My main frustration with IC levels is that the promotions often come down to questionable criteria like: - Have you worked on highly-visible, high-level, cross-org projects? Are these efforts really needed? Should your organization be rein

The problem has been fairly extreme at all of the companies I've worked at. I would even say that, if you exclude the new grads, there's actually an inverse relationship between someone's level and how much I would want to w

In my experience, neither intro calc classes nor intro stats classes are that useful at teaching the underlying principles. The classes mostly just test whether students can learn an algorithm to solve a certain class of problem, whether i

Becoming more physically attractive is much simpler, if not easier, than becoming more confident if someone is prone to anxiety. There are at least concrete steps you can take to become more physically attractive, like: - lift weights and r

As for your question about persisted data, yeah it definitely needs to be modeled on the backend, right? How much modeling should be done on the FE is a good question. This question is sort of why GraphQL exists. GraphQL provides a contr

State is a pretty loaded word, but what I meant more specifically is complex application state, and by that I mean the ephemeral state that manages a user's usage of the application. For example, in the real estate use case, there may

Many projects are absolutely more complex than they were 15 years ago. The web is now a space for fully-interactive applications, not just interlinked documents and forms

Most SaaS developers aren't serving APIs to their clients, they are serving websites and web applications. Applications have state. In order to render and deliver the application, the server needs to have some concept of what that sta
