> ” Most of open source fails because they don't acknowledge this reality.” That’s a bold statement. Most of projects that do acknowledge this reality also fail. Like all for-profit and even those web3 projects that are using cryp

I disagree. The HBOGO app used to have pretty poor tech. It would logout with no reason, forget where I was in the show, sometimes freeze requiring to close and open the app multiple times, have problems with Chromecast. Still, I wanted to

It is a _shared_ journaling app, not many of those around. I believe $19 annually is pretty low already ($1.58/month). And people have to pay only after they have a lot of posts, so anyone can try for free. If people aren’t willing to

Tangential plug, I launched my own social network without feed, notifications, or even a way to find people there. It flopped everywhere I promoted it, but it is still online since I am on free tier of the host service. If anyone wants to c

I saw here on HN about the IPO of a shoes company. Shoes are much more mature than web and mobile and there are still people starting up things.

I think it’s KissMetrics that began as clear market leader, before losing to Mixpanel. KissMetrics had great content marketing, its blog was educating a generation of startup founders on how to use analytics. There is a post-mortem from the

I truly believe that you can’t divide appreciators of art in simple, unnuanced, mutually exclusive categories. Specially just 2 like you did. I don’t see myself in either category, at the same time that I do remember appreciating things tha

Funny, without context (that I am unwilling to pursue atm, just skipped the whole article for the photos) they just look terrible pictures. Period.

In a way you are supporting larger businesses in detriment of smaller ones that don’t have the demand or cash flow to hire a driver, aren’t you?

Thanks, appreciate qualifying a bit what is considered “old”. I am 41, but only 4 years of software development experience. So only applied for junior positions yet. I don’t think I faced ageism applying to jobs, but I rarely applied to SV

Not GP, but I assumed they are talking about the part that they quoted —- consulting gig while on another job, not any discrimination worries.

I remember reading about him being very smart multiple times. Just not on articles commenting Amazon workplace environment and such, as it should not be indeed. On articles about the beginnings of Amazon, the writing culture, or anything th

It felt a dismissive comment for me too, but I think the main point of GP is that you are wrong about Pessoa being ”in denial” of his depression.

Great side note, never heard of this, thanks! And great slogan indeed. I couldn’t think of a translation either and went to Google Translate, which has become quite good in the last years, but gave ”estranhar” the plainly wrong translatio

Are you 100x more productive than an average dev? Is that what _”100x dev”_ means?

I agree. I see nothing “strange” of a very small company blocking criticism on Twitter (even if it is a fair criticism). A bank have thousands of employees, tens of which (maybe even hired agencies) have a full time job handling social medi

I live in Brazil, I am Brazilian. Why did you feel such strong rejection of a black woman playing a white king? I have no idea which movie are you talking about, but I am pretty sure their intention was not to trick, mislead, or miseducated

> ” pushing all their crazy beliefs down our throats,” It always sound both funny and silly to me when people use these terms to describe the presence of equality ideas in movies/shows. I read a review of Brooklyn 99 where the rev

First, I do think that a therapist is the right way to start to change what you want to change. That said, I will give my unprofessional opinion on the chance is the insight you need. I think human connection through a community will help y

That has to be dealt with. If the city buys the building and reach a fair agreement with McDonalds, I still don’t see risk of moral hazard.

The building was occupied after the business was closed. The equipment seems to be unused by the occupiers and well preserved. If McDonalds plan for the building was abandonment or demolition the illegal occupation seems to have zero negati

If the author was maliciously crossing the ethical line, why they would show the project privately to you? If the author was not maliciously crossing the ethical line, why were you so quick to threaten legal action and bully them by mentio
