Definitely. I'd be interested to see how this breaks down for the S&P 500, with more rigor around what constitutes an engineer - maybe have different categories?

I read one called Workplace Poker a while back, it was pretty good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0105V634A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VWNM...

No sorry - I'm also eng. YC has a few resources that should be able to help you though (see below). Something that they stress is "clarity of thought". "Student loan repayment automation for workplace benefits providers&

Is this supposed to be like Stripe for student loans? It's extremely unclear what the problem is, who has the problem, and how you're solving it. > Give your products student loan superpowers Not clear who your audience is here

Looking at the author's background, it's easier to say generalists are undervalued when you're a freelancer/agency - you kind of have the freedom to work on projects for 3-6 months, punt them, and move on to the next. Wh

Yep, this is pretty normal. > It sounds like the company raised a round at too high of a valuation. Not necessarily. A company's valuation can shift up and down due to many factors - but for whatever reason, they ended up underwater

I'm so confused by this article - is that not apparent when reading it? Especially in a high school English class?

I built a very similar thing w/ topica.io (now defunct - I could spin it back up if there's interest), but focused on sentence-level and word-level timings to create a sleek interactive transcript[0], and transcribed the videos vi

Interactive Brokers also offers a "Lite" version that is pointed at a similar market to RobinHood (no fees, no comissions). Also worth noting that they run their own clearing house. https://www1.interactivebrokers.com&#

As a runner/triathlete, this is pretty useless to me. As another commenter describes - we prefer real-time time series data. TrainingPeaks captures everything I could think of. Seems like it might be useful for lifting though. At the s

You dont. Use DBs with schemas for structured data.

by solumos 6y ago
Yeah, just shovel the data in. No schema, no problem. The tradeoff is that if you're actually relying on the structure of that data, you're introducing risk since its changes aren't being intentionally managed at the DB level

Writing data migrations that fail safely is tricky, and requires some extra care. Temp tables, adding new columns instead of modifying, feature flags, etc. all help with this. Basically, you want to run stuff in production with less risk. O

Same. What really seals the "echo chamber"-ness for me, is that they have a priority on their "about" page claiming they're serious about inclusion, yet it's still an iOS-only invite-only beta.

Well, lawyers take a retainer. Doctors are paid per-diagnostic-visit and per-procedure. Accountants bill hourly. Most professions have this - electricians, plumbers, locksmiths, etc. This business model is normalized for other professions,

You should check out SecFi - they helped me out of a similar snag (non-recourse loan).

At least they had the decency to retract. I get the sense that other news sites these days would leave it up with its "alternative facts".

Well, because ruining your credit and spending years to pay off a huge pile of debt is pretty "not great". Being independently wealthy or being able to take a high-paying job (FAANG+) would be a good fallback. Seems more founders

3 people, ~12 cards each - that's about a binder of cards, I'd say. If they had good credit to begin with, it would take some time for it to degrade.
