Ah. Makes a lot of sense. Gets the person to a lower friction commitment point where they feel like they’re going back on their word if they abandon at that point. And you can harass them with PMs to follow up lol.

What is “comment selling”?

Uh, how do you “bootstrap” a team of 9 at $1m ARR? I thought bootstrapping means your revenues cover your costs.

I could reduce my CO2 emissions even further by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, but I'd rather go to cool places, thanks.

I am an Asian American with kids in school. I am a fierce opponent of race based affirmative action but a huge supporter of income/wealth based affirmative action even knowing that it will make life tougher for my kids. The way I figur

It's also about being on your feet and in close proximity to your colleagues. It's not just about the writing surface.

Perhaps a good microcosm is the Las Vegas Strip. Street crime is extremely low on the Strip and nearby — muggings, car breakins, etc. That’s because the guys who run the most lucrative rackets in town, the casinos, simply don’t permit stree

If you expect 100% bug free software, expect to pay literally hundreds of millions of dollars for it. It does exist but for some reason people prefer the mostly good stuff that costs $10.

“Show me ads” only sounds less menacing than “try to change your behavior” because we’ve become accustomed to ads for a century.

But the “wattages” just pulse the thing on and off right? I’ve never heard of a home microwave that can apply true variable power. If you have one I’ll buy it.

They used to but now since video is popular they don’t. But they have poor blacks.

You have an actual variable power microwave? Not a duty cycle power control??

I’d love to wear an Apple Watch but just can’t stand to have anything on my hands. Don’t even wear my wedding ring.

I say yes to almost everything. I’m massively unsuccessful. But I’ve had an interesting life.

I always wanted to steal a valuable artwork as a kid, and hang it on my wall. I wasn't really into art, and still am not. I wasn't looking for profit. I just wanted to defeat a large system and walk out with something that was &qu

what's the alternative to do the best they can to thwart cheating?

Bad actors funding it always leads to bad actors writing it. Then it's hard to argue that an increase in its quantity is good.

This is an astonishingly good offer, as NY and SF are double to 4x the cost of living of other places in the US (let alone places outside the US).

A kid who is smiling and well behaved in a Facebook photo. Basically, the guy worked at a grocery store, was single, wasn’t an unhappy guy, but always thought karma had caught up to his bully. When he discovered that karma doesn’t exist it

Not really. Cloud computing has a lot of benefits, but a lot of risks and drawbacks. Who is sponsoring a class to teach about those? About keeping users’ data private by building your own infrastructure? CMU is actively tilting their studen

I wonder how much better you could make society if you managed to take the worst 1% of scumbags and remove them.

Getting guilt right and what punishment to dispense to the guilty are different questions. For example you could have 100-member juries with unanimous verdicts required, but also execute anyone convicted of any crime.

I'm not qualified to evaluate this particular course. But any time there is a corporate sponsor of a course, it provides strong incentives to the professor to not harm that sponsor at a minimum. If there's a methodology that the p

Because internet commenters do not have other incentives at work like getting a grant or being tenured.

Don’t look them up. I remember hearing about someone who basically had their life thrown into crisis when they looked up their main bully and found out that he was rich, married to a beautiful woman, had three perfect-seeming children, etc.

If Coinbase is going to be completely apolitical are they permissive of any political activity outside of the office? If a Coinbase employee goes to a white supremacist rally with a tiki torch, and posts it on their personal Facebook visibl
