Why and how is Twitter still running? Could it still run on a skeleton crew? If so, were all those people who left needed? Truly asking. If the answer is no, then why isn't Twitter already collapsing?

By duty cycle are you referring to slow message latency and small packet size?

What is the sweet spot in terms of bandwidth and packet size?

by rexreed 4y ago
I am fascinated by LoRa, but I understand it is primarily for low bandwidth applications that are optimized for high range, low power consumption. I'd imagine LoRA would be a good alternative to SMS but would it ever be an alternative

Anyone have a listing of Chesky's AirBnB? It's probably booked up for years.

This approach only works when there's a lot of fat and churn in hiring where projects get spun up and hiring processes are blocks. This doesn't work well in environments of hiring freezes, project cancellations, and divisional spi

Also a side effect of the move-fast, break-things-often hyper-"agile" mentality that treats the customer as the product, the advertiser as "king", shareholders over employees, and faceless customer service megabrands tha

Let me word it a different way. VCs invest in their asset ownership of the corporation, not in the business of that corporation. In this regard, I refer not to the legal structure of the corporation nor that VCs obviously invest in legally

But they don't actually invest in businesses. Yes, the asset happens to be an operating corporation. But the actual business of that corporation is not what they invest in. They're not interested in portions of revenue or profit s

This will sound super basic and maybe even trite, but the way to get rich is to hold assets that increase in value. I know it's stupid and basic, but that's the way. Assets could be hard like physical assets or real estate, but th

Most likely the game designer will change the design, and then everyone wins. IKEA wins and the game developer wins from the attention. Which is what they all want, unlike Babs.

In what way does this reference the Streisand Effect? Everyone already knows IKEA and this won't make people want to do more or less with IKEA. This looks like standard trademark / trade dress complaint.

At first I was thinking what sort of self-destructive person would do that, and then I realized he saddled Twitter with $1B in debt payments and foisting this onto other investors, and I realized that Elon was exactly the kind of vindictive

You can host your own Git repository or Git commit on multiple Git repositories. When I started with Git, I just self-hosted. I only went to Bitbucket for search and the web interface.

Yeah I checked to see if it was posted on his newsletter (they give you a free issue preview on substack) before I posted the above, and it's not there... yet. I think the main thing that motivates Twitter behavior is that it's ea

And yet, on HN we post the Twitter thread instead of the blog post. It just seems to me there's some entrenched user behavior that will be very difficult to change. Regardless, this thread wasn't posted on his blog or newsletter,

Does it not seem ironic to anyone else that all these scoops and news about Twitter are communicated using... Twitter? Is there really no other way besides Twitter to publish and communicate news and information? Maybe others are bought int

Recruiters are always willing to waste your time especially since their job is to provide their employers options, and besides they need their pay as well. If they aren't recruiting, then they aren't justifying their own salaries.

How do you deal with recurring revenue subscriptions?

by rexreed 4y ago
How do you do that when Stripe holds your subscription / recurring revenue? Keep that recurring revenue base independent of the CC processor? I used to use Recurly and stuff like that but it seemed like I was paying double just for the

by rexreed 4y ago
Daily payouts isn't the issue. Of course we get the payouts daily. But when they lock your account and you have $5M+ in recurring revenue from subscriptions on recurring revenue then you have a real problem.
