Thanks, I fixed the URLs and data on those.

Fixed -- try it now.

That was a bug from fetching the wrong URL. It's fixed now.

It checks the site immediately when it's added, then once a day afterwards. The sentiment of http://issnapchat.deadyet.lol/ is amusing, but I agree it shouldn't be with the dead-product-walking list. Will add some

I worked at one of these startups whose product kept running for months, even after firing all of its developers. That's the main reason for this and the "dead yet " name -- the "walking dead" state definitely seem

Great idea, I'll look into it.

Any examples? I'm cleaning up bad data now.

Really need to host isdeadyet.deadyet.lol on another page so it's accurate next time. Try again now.

It doesn't come from a place of negativity. As I mentioned elsewhere, it can show how resilient a product is as well. A community for startup support is probably outside the scope of this site (and done much better elsewhere), but what

It's definitely meant to be taken lightly. If you added your own startup, a big "no" just shows how non-failey you are -- it goes both ways.

Hahah I will be too! ;)

That's a very theistic way to frame atheism. Theism requires active belief in prescribed dogma, whereas atheism can include both rejection of said dogma or simply not subscribing to religious ideas. For example, many people are vegetar

Except those people have probably never driven a train before. It's different.

I don't think I'm that "non-mainstream", but nothing annoys me more than even split-second connectivity drops with Bluetooth. When I'm listening to music, reliability and consistency in hearing an entire chunk of au

Except we're not machines. "You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else," as Tyler Durden would say. Some might say the next logical step isn't to wish to live forever, but to die, and hope your genes

Everyone read this [0] and now think it's The Next Big Thing™. That and Slack, I guess? I don't get it either. The nice thing about not typing out requests ("it's not a command-line interface," they all say) to pe

How so?

Same! When either building something myself or with under 5 people I've been able to use all my knowledge and truly stretch myself. But I've also worked at a "startup" with the wrong people in charge, where I was complet

I think his point was that IRC, too, allows instant communication, and self-hosting would allow parent to enforce necessary security policies. Not that it is or isn't worth the effort.

Right, everyone is still experimenting on the side now especially because those little ideas are the best route to autonomy. And if you have a wide breadth of skills in the field, a startup is often the only way (I've found) to finally

Sounds like something a bot would say.

by shopkins 11y ago
Yes that's all true. But I wasn't suggesting that it would work, just that: 1) I think the parent missed the point that the author was suggesting potential alternatives to UBI, and 2) It's an interesting idea that some of one

I didn't get that impression, but maybe that's because I'm not in the geographical area of the author's vitriol. About halfway through he makes a good point about Uber drivers not making much money from the job. He menti

It isn't meant to be taken literally. But to be literal, in my previous sentence, "We all have homeless problems in our cities" implicitly means "not just the people in San Francisco, California." I go on not to

Yes, that's what it's about: changing the things you're frustrated by. Because the world expects more from the people who build the hardware and software they depend on everyday than some petulant whining. This evisceration

So it doesn't exist, eh?

The hostility is warranted when you think you're solving a problem by whining about it on Medium. We all have homeless problems in our cities. We get accosted by mentally ill people, drunk people, high people, strung out people, dirty
