It's an ad designed not to look like an ad. It looks like internal site navigation but is an external link. Not a big deal but a bit shady/confusing.

And Chrome won't allow the extension block lists to include regexps/wildcards, they all have to be FQDNs? It seems reasonable to require a static list for privacy reasons. But not supporting pattern matching rules would seem to be

It seems proprietary because there are ad links disguised as documentation links. You can't click "Components" anywhere on TailwindCSS.com or you'll end up on TailwindUI.com pricing page. It's fine that they want to

If you were following the guidelines yourself, you would have assumed my comment was not targeted at the author at all, which it was not. And you would most definitely not assume I was criticizing someone for their language skills...

To be clear, since someone else was confused: I wasn't being critical of you for using this word. If anything, being a non-native English speaker is the one valid excuse for using corpspeak in earnest :-)

Founders are the ones with the experience, skills, and knowledge to lead the companies they create. Generally, VCs are equity portfolio managers and not qualified to lead a company. Even when they are successful founders themselves, they&#x

Yeah "learnings" is just corpspeak for "lessons" because it seems more sophisticated (to some people).

Selling equity is one thing. Selling control is another. When the founders have control, they're the leaders and directors have to follow. When the directors have control, they lead and the founders have to follow. Generally, founders

It's fun to see the data and it is a cool project. But running speedtest every 15 minutes sounds like a bad idea. It's going to fully saturate the connection for ~1 minute and is likely to interfere with whatever the connection is

I know it's not a new idea but it seems like the time has probably come for there to be a YC Space, YC SaaS, YC Edu, etc. YC should seriously consider going one level of abstraction up. Instead of YC being an investment firm that creat

Yes, it would. Most people should put their internal cloud infrastructure behind a VPN, if at all possible. It's easy to do and dramatically reduces the surface area for an attacker. It's not a silver bullet but in many cases it w

The 90 day stock options exercise window should be made illegal. It should be 10 years or indefinite. Employees, like the author here, earned their stock options. It's wrong that they get stolen back just because its an "industr

By this logic one should not get excited after buying a house, a car, or even a birthday cake since someone else did the work. Obviously, that's crazy thinking. But besides that, Bezos did a lot more than just buy a rocket from a sup

Besides money, entrepreneurs invest a lot of time and energy. Buying on one market and selling on another is not much more than gambling/speculation/trading. Seems like a real stretch to call it entrepreneurship.

They're taking on financial risk but I wouldn't call it entrepreneurial risk. They can list any number of products at time, risking nothing but money. There's nothing innovative or novel being added to the world. The closest
