"People at the office were nice. They had very modest and orderly lives, but they didn't have any interest in science, creative tinkering, or anything fanciful really, so very unlike the people I had worked with before." I re

Yes he did. "At one point TV had decent programs." As far as too many channels, it's not like you have to constantly look at those channels.

"I haven't watched TV in more than a decade." So it seems like you would be the worst possible person to ask if TV has objectively gotten "worse".

I'm sure they might; I don't know. I'm talking about tech people.

Why do we care about the bad startups?

by s73v3r 11y ago
You know, even though you're busy being a startup and all, it honestly does not take that long to clean up a garage.

It's an exaggeration, but there's no denying that SF is one of the most expensive cost of living places in the country.

"overhearing office chatter " I honestly do not believe for one second that this is a thing, or that it's a significant thing.

"I never understood why investors need to be 'close.' " Many of them want to "influence' the companies they invest in, to give them the best chance of seeing a return. They feel they can't do that as effec

Huge tech community, almost perfect weather (it's not San Diego, but it's close), fairly liberal politics, diverse culture (means tons of interesting and fun cultural activities, and lots of interesting places to eat that you don&

Most decent sized to large cities in North America have a large skilled labor pool.

Remote work and starting the company elsewhere are pretty easy solutions to this problem.

What about stuff like health insurance, and 401k match? Young people typically don't think about these things, but getting a maximum match out of your 401k contributions (it's literally free money) while you're young will pay

You know, it's really funny that everyone knocks these patents (and rightly so), but the second some service comes up that does the same stuff as has been done before, but suddenly it's "on an app!" that means it's

Macbook pros are some of the best selling laptops out there. And this comparison really only makes sense on a laptop, as the power usage wouldn't have a noticeable impact on desktop.

All of the optimizations done to Safari are available for Chrome as well. They simply haven't done it.

No, it's entirely a violation of your ethics. You are explicitly modifying them for the express purpose of denying them income.

My rejection of the argument is based on the entitlement of people who make it. "I never would have paid for something, therefore I deserve it for free!"

So you're killing ads in apps now too? Sounds like another great reason to avoid developing for your platform.
681.
by s73v3r 11y ago
I'm sorry, but this argument has never been anything more than entitled bullshit.
682.
by s73v3r 11y ago
No, not really.

by s73v3r 11y ago
And then you'd cry and moan that the big bad website is forcing you to view ads.
684.
by s73v3r 11y ago
So don't visit their website. Problem solved.

by s73v3r 11y ago
No, the concert analogy is valid. It still costs the website bandwidth and server time to serve the website to you.
686.
by s73v3r 11y ago
And you would still visit their site? So basically you're an ass.

" iOS users make up a significant percentage of web traffic and are demographically the most valuable (generally of a higher socio-economic status)." What good is that if they're blocking ads, so you can't monetize them?

No, that's a fucking cop out. Answer the question: why do you feel entitled to view the content that others have worked to create for free? Why should we not expect the same of you? Why should we not expect you to work for free?
689.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Apparently just like you feel entitled to enjoy the content others have made for free.

by s73v3r 11y ago
Ok, you don't want their shit. How do you propose to give the creators of the content you're visiting revenue so they can continue?
