I’m a brown guy and I have fond memories of watching the Cosby show with my parents as a kid. I was saddened and disappointed to learn of Cosby’s horrific behavior later on, and it sucks that the show is now going to be lost because of the

I wonder the mental health aspects of this trend. I’m just an observer not a scientist but it seems to me that more and more people including myself feel lonely. It leads to depression and anxiety. I really think we are steering ourselves i

In America a lot of these positions are not full time. Employers like McDonald’s and frito will try to do their best to give “hours” (part time) so that they don’t need to give benefits. So, imagine you’re making minimum wage and you have n

It’s really not meant to be, more of an app to find interesting things. I tried looking up how dating or events app do things and most of those seem to have very structured business entities around them (like IAC)

I see. Thanks for all these points to consider! In my case since it is a social app where people can meet virtually and also in person, the biggest risk I’m afraid of is people doing bad things that are against the TOS and I’m on the hook.

What's the best time to find a co founder, and also how does the equity part work? For example, I've been spending the last 6 months learning as much as I can about business around an idea I've had. That's involved creat

Just have the internet be a bunch of data streams that people can start/pause/stop any time. It would be "real time" from the beginning, and then you can just build whatever around these streams. It'd be like my bra

Thanks! That's awesome. I made a lot of progress yesterday with supabase, setting up some tables and auth :D I really like it, and I'm going to keep maintaining a secondary project with it just to keep up with all the good work. S

As long as 4 day weeks don’t come at a pay cut, and I can’t believe I’ve seen people on HN even be okay with it. If your company continues to make more profit while you work less it’s in your interest to not lose your wage position. It woul
