It's an absolute crisis. The government should response just as it would in the event of war time profiteering.

Ancient Romans knew that lead water pipes were unhealthy and so they preferred terracotta pipes. It's hard to imagine why the U.S. ever had a single lead water pipe, let alone huge numbers of them. Updated with a reference for the down

Have you attended a hackathon? It's usually more like working full-time for a couple days than an actual marathon without sleep. There's really no better way to meet other programmers that want to collaborate. Meetups are the seco

Lots of very small companies will happily do 1099 contracts without trying to control your time at all. The hard part is finding those contracts, which usually come through networking and existing clients. You might try emailing companies o

A classic coup d'état. This is the danger of taking VC and hiring a COO that clearly wants to be CEO. 1. Wait for a misstep by the current leader. 2. Play it up as a huge problem that could threaten the company. 3. Suggest that maybe s

If programmers made twice as much money, it would be such a great job. And yet salaries have been relatively flat for over a decade (adjusted for inflation). Something is wrong that salaries never seem to rise with demand in Silicon Valley.

That's not accurate, but even if it was, you now have to argue why this time would be different.

I didn't downvote you, but this is one of those ignorant arguments that only survives because it sounds clever. 1. You only need guns good enough to take over an armory. 2. There are tens of millions of armed veterans in the U.S, and m

Where's the Linode founder(s) in all this, and why couldn't they have kept customers informed? It seems like a lone network engineer has been left to deal with a potentially company destroying event.

If you want to take your life into your own hands, the way to monitor the infection is by using a pen to draw a line around the red part. If the infection spreads outside the line, it's time for an infectious disease specialist.

More like learn to be a wealthy, elite, and well-connected. These founders are as privileged as Bill Gates but totally lacking his work ethic and sincere passion. They're pedigreed out the ass, so those involved (including themselves)

Einstein famously (and actually) had poor grades in subjects he had no interest in, and did great in subjects he enjoyed. It seems to have delayed his progress that no one recognized his skill and passion early on. Bad filters look for weak

YC may be closest to being this startup. If their process was an "Empirical, blinded, skills-assessment", and they funded anyone who met their predefined requirements, we'd have a real alternative to class-based universities.

If you did have a co-founder, they would encourage you to do it anyway, or offer to do it. There are good reasons to favor teams over individuals.

Despite what some confused people say, there's actually not enough seed funding. Many thousands more teams would try their hand at creating something, given the kind of help that successful startups have all required. Most would fail a

Immigrant does not mean poor. Often immigrants are the most wealthy, connected, and educated people from their countries. Poor people are usually stuck wherever they are. A more accurate title would be: "The Secret of Rich Genius"
