   Seems fair to me. Apple provided with you a service and charged your for it. It is a cost associated with distributing / developing your product. Why should Apple be responsible for refunding you? It was not their fault that the custom

   Videos from years ago are being taken out of context in order to make him seem racist and sexist. It is ridiculous. We have gotten to the point where no matter what you say or do, there is always a victim ready to complain. And now it’s eve

   I am not sure about whether UBI would work or not. I am mostly against the idea of just giving people free money without having to work for it. But leaving my political views out of this: 1) Do we all absolutely get it? That would be fine,

   Currently fundraising. From what I have been hearing, VCs are mostly doubling down on their portfolio and reducing the number of new companies they invest in. Sentiment is strong for companies enabling remote work though.

   I understand circumstances are forcing this to happen, but if online batches are now a possibility, the FAQs should be updated: "Can we do it without moving to where you are?" Sorry, no. We tried this once, and by Demo Day that st

   This is a great question. Our approach here is that there are certain processes that can be easily modeled and digtized, and others that are not. For those that are not (a complex payroll system), we aim to provide a more "informal&quo

   This is the vision that Seliom, the startup I am working on, has. We are still too early and don’t have documentation to share, but the idea is to give business owners the power to easily change digitized processes in minutes.

    He announced that he would remove red-tape and fund research specifically to fight the cornovavirus. Just watch his speech. On the other 2 points you seem to be right though.

    This is called a tu quoque fallacy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque “ Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/;[1] Latin for "you also"), or the appeal to hypocrisy, is an informal fallacy

    Something I really struggle with is getting past the “things I don’t know that I don’t know” stage. Whenever I start learning something new, I try to come up as quickly as possible with a mental framework about how all the pieces fit togeth

    Very good post, covering pretty much everything regarding best practices / libraries to use. I would add to the list MobX State Tree for state management, and parcel bundler for getting started instead of create-react-app.

    This happened to me once. Used proximity infrared sensors that used I2C with a fixed address. Needed to use multiple of them. I was able to fix it with a tri-state buffer, but quite the pain to figure out why things were not working and com

    Thanks for the feedback, but this is $10/user/month. Many Saas companies charge similar amounts and they seem to be doing fine. I appreciate your feedback though!
