I'm in Chicago - I used to have a subscription to this CSA: https://mintcreekfarm.com/about-us/ The problem is I don't like cooking enough(especially raw meat). If I receive pounds of meat every week it'

I applied almost as a joke because I knew I wouldn't be accepted... I'm a single founder, no traction, and a silly, seamingly pointless product. Also I have a full-time job. Now I'm excited I get a chance to be in a network,

The ISPs and mobile carriers are too powerful. At least Google/Facebook have to innovate, or buy companies like Instagram or Whatsapp that innovate. ISPs get their billions in revenue from monopoly. All they have to do is buy off po

Since you're using .NET I'm assuming you work in the corporate world and not the trendy tech-startup world with "unlimited vacation" and nap pods? A degree would increase your salary significantly in the corporate world.

That could be the case but my theory is that it's about control. Investors funded a solo founder before and then when they said to take some action (sell/pivot/scale up) the solo founder didn't do it. They said damn thi

Might as well give them 50% stake in a company you built and might as well dilute your ownership? That makes no sense if you can hire someone to do the job, pay them X% more, and keep 100% ownership of your startup. I think the reason YC a

It's like "The Truman Show" for autonomous vehicles. The car was programmed to be sentient and think he was giving rides to real people... but it was all fake so they could make a fancy tech demo. And when the car finds out

I agree this study is BS. They have no one in their data who has $5 million+ in the bank and has F * you money... because those people are supposedly outliers. I would be an order of magnitude happier if I could work on my own projects in

I was thinking of Project Fi but Google just buys the data from TMobile/Sprint/US Cellular. So the same carriers just get richer, giving them more power. There's really no way to hurt the carriers or ISPs bottom line. The on
