Thanks - this is quite helpful and appreciate the kind words. You're right - I have approached some targeted folks for co-founder and it's been harder for this kind of domain. The other issue is that unless it does something (apar

That's helpful. I can start exploring my network but is there a systematic way to reach out to them ? Cold-emails/linked-in?

This is cool - I appreciate you taking the time to think about this. And if you're an investor, I hope you find the guide helpful. I like your ideas about making the mission more prominent, which I will do. I have had this struggle in

Are you suggesting an advisor? I guess mentor/advisor are the same thing and I am definitely open to any kind of value sharing - but the question of finding a good person to advice you remains :) I'll check out Vistage - thanks fo

It's too early for VC and I have some early funding from friends/myself. I agree having a good VC on-board would be nice but I think I need to have some success for that?

I have a clear idea of what I am building (based on lot of real life discussions and a bit of iteration) and have an internal early version ( https://stockquanta.com ). Nothing sold yet. But I have also been talking to folks and b

Being a backend engineer for the longest time, I decided to learn how to do web facing projects since September so I can build ideas and show them to others. I have been wanting to build a data/science + finance project for the longes

People want innovation but ultimately they don't want companies to profit off them. In the beginning, everyone loved Google. Now that their innovation gap has increased so much over their peers for some areas, the consequences of that

This is amazing for all computer science degree courses. I wish I had this when I was learning this stuff. Sadly, I think the truth is that most profs or students won't know this platform exists.

The whole backend is in Python + Pandas (which is bulk of the work - market data, quantitative analysis, aggregation, some performance engineering and so on). For the Webapp itself, I used a library called Dash. I recommend it for data heav

It has to hurt somewhere inside Google to kill Allo but not Duo. I honestly expected the opposite given the original push behind these apps. The problem with all these messaging experiences is that none of them work well on both dekstop and

The article is pretty interesting and I didn't read the whole thing. The correlations are positive but not 1, sometimes less than 0.5. So it shows genes are positively correlated, but very different than saying it's an exclusive f

This article, while obviously PR, is confusing to me. It seems to pin too much emphasis on the nature of its hardware as if that's enough to "emulate" the brain. If they don't have folks at the calibre of Deepmind to dri

That's cool. I hope it takes off. Water shortage is a very serious issue in Asia affecting millions and this solution seems too good to be true, so it's exciting. I wonder what the costs are like and can I buy one and donate them

I'm a bit irked that a technology of this significance has no videos or demos or actual use cases, just a PR blurb. Is it confidentiality, or is it too early stage? Otherwise X Prize becomes another congratulatory event. This feeling s

I do it every week and it has helped me tremendously over the last 3 years. If you can find someone you like and can afford it, I highly recommend it. I found my "coach" on Craigslist and since then have stuck with it. Let me know

While I admire the author for describing this process, his tone about "reverse-engineering" this and short circuiting the entire process might be a mistake. Just because he managed to do it without being an exceptional researcher

Unless you can predict individual outcomes based on genes, I think it will remain as speculation to me. No evidence however strong can be counted as causal unless it can be shown to model unknown outcomes to a fair degree of accuracy. If th

Thanks. Including the principal amount for these taxes + number of payroll entities would have been nice - I am trying to get a sense of the relative proportions of these employment taxes vs actual pay.

"Bannon pretty much ran the company single-handedly". I am not following: if he was the only person running the company, how did payroll taxes get so large ? Was it for his own pay? The article neglects what the taxes are for whic

I'm confused. Are you also saying that any amount of exposure to this thing is completely fine? How is that fact? That's a claim. It is a mild poison after all. They are punishing that level of arrogance. If they had a warning aro

I find this argument confusing. Rationally, this is still more than 3 times cheaper than any theater. My goal isn't to take revenge on them but to spend my dollar wisely.

Well MoviePass was competing on price, not on experience. Is that why people flock to MoviePass?
