   Steve Blank's definition is not widely accepted in silicon valley. You can argue about what you'd like startup to mean, but what startup means to most silicon valley-ish people is a company designed to grow quickly. It's irre

   Ya, fb feels the same way fwiw. I'm very sold on the benefits of monorepos now.

    That's the direction everyone is going, so I think h.266 is an attempt to give vendors pause before moving to av1. AV1 will probably win in most circumstances (big tech) but is unlikely to win where there are big gains to be had by red

    This is a good call. Or (at a minimum) some agreed upon fraction of salary.

    NARRATIVE VIOLATION ALERT I'm actually from Ogden, and I love it so much. The population is probably about 33% hispanic. https://www.ogdencity.com/1466/Demographics I love hackers like this. So awesome to se

    fwiw you're absolutely right. I didn't read the OP, but this is totally directionally accurate as far as I've experienced.

    I've heard this from the same places I usually hear conspiracy theories which is to say: I don't think this is untrue but it definitely isn't validated or verified. Heretics wouldn't be allowed in epidemiological circles

    I'm in this situation. I actually wish I could switch to Linux, but I have too many systems / routines built around the best mac software.

    This needs to be distributable by the website... also with caching guarantees, desktop capture support (which I think is there now, but wasn't till just recently) etc.
