   Seems like a heavily volatile way to store your "net worth."

   I think one of the problems with trying to understand how to achieve success is that by referencing the successful we often are dealing with outliers and not rules. I think this is why a lot of people here like seeing startup failure blogs

   You should watch these replays, the AI is already way more advanced then the situation you just described.

   Depends if that server is storing every conversation in a non password protected mongo database. I'm going to stick with expecting the entire world is going to see it until security and privacy is valued much greater then currently.

   This reminds me a bit of the scammy motivational speakers that get people to buy their plans and go to their events. On one hand theres some value in there, some people really change their life. On the other hand the end of the tunnel for t

   My guess is these investors were investing in what it will become not what it is now. Isn't that the whole point in investing?

   That's hard to do at a startup though with FANG salaries and benefits being so extreme. You really have to double down on the value prop of small agile teams, culture etc. Even if you nail that it's hard to turn down 2-3x salaries

    I think all of the recent macbooks have soldered ssds which are not replaceable. I doubt this one is going to buck that trend.

    The existence of fox news does not negate the value of identifying other, possibly more subversive methods of manipulation. If anything if we were satisfied with calling out only fox news then it has does it's job.

    Even if I did agree with your core argument (I don't) how is a VC meeting the appropriate time and place for that?

    I don't think you can be so black and white about it. Too much of anything is probably bad for you. If you replaced counter-strike with chess or golf or model trains would you feel the same? I think the answer is the same for all of th

    Not OP but my guess; OP remembered they read an article about this, googled it, found the first result and linked it. Third party site is winning the SEO game.

    Dimitri Fontaine writes about this in Master PostgreSQL in Application Development. He agrees. I found this to be a great modern sql resource.

    The good news then is that you don't have to, each service has done so for you in the TOS that users sign.

    Especially true because customers rarely want to pay for it and when there are issues you just sweep them under the rug and move on. Developers are the last people we should look to blame / change if we want better security.

    I can agree with the resolution issue but the framerate issue I think is still a sticking point. You really lose the immersion at low framerates and things like motion sickness start to take over any fun you might have.

    Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with money where you need more precision then cents? For example financials and inventory markets?

    Sure, the game is not done growing in popularity. That's one of the difficult things - they don't just have to scale to 3.4m users because next week the target is moved and now its 4m then 6m etc. It's hard to hit a moving ta

    I have owned every single 15" MBP since they started using intel. Each one was better then the last - they were great - best laptops you can buy. This most recent one is the first one that is worse then the previous one.

    Being locked in a room for your entire life sure is safer then driving a car so that can't be bad for you right? I think ops point is it's dangerous to your mind and lively hood as well as society as a whole - not to your physical
