   Who else is here is using Firebase? What are the odds of the whole thing getting canned with 2 years? For all of the "we promise GCP isn't going anywhere" comments from the Googlers in this thread, I'm seeing nothing abo

   I feel like "compensate them appropriately" should be the actual solution to this problem.....

   To be frank, you can use it to run a business outside of the Valley for double or quadruple the time. At that amount, you can't really afford to hire (doubly so in SF), so who cares if you have access to the "talent pool" (bu

   Fargate is almost what the marketing team said ECS was going to be.

   Could've been hardcoded for an older year for a deadline? Never got implemented to use the correct calendar based on the year?

   I posted this a while back looking for testers, and I've posted again because now there is a playable demo on the website. Also we're live in both app stores now!

    So, how much did YC make?

    'Snatch' might be more of a negative connotation? Grab feels pretty neutral.

    I am pursuing that currently and would love to do so indefinitely. Maybe I'm just pessimistic and assume that it might take a try or two before I get it right? I'm also not against joining a team that's building something rea

    I used to think it wasn't. My jobs were, no matter how it was dressed up, trying to earn a massive retailer an extra percent or two on their already massive earnings over doing anything that impacted the consumer positively. Since I st

    This is astounding. It used to be that doctors were not allowed to post their prices! Openness is needed to fix medical billing.

    I'm bootstrapped as well (as an LLC). The main potential problems would be things like not having physical locations (but you can use your debit card at BVBA ATMs), but their FAQ seemed to cover most of the things like that. I used to

    I've been working on an text-based interactive storytelling RPG called Danger World[1] for iOS and Android. If anyone in the HN crowd is interested in checking it out, I'm happy to send out beta (alpha?) links. [1] https:/&#

    I'm also using Azlo. Honestly, the main "startup" feature is the lack of a required minimum balance in the account.

    Totally agreed on the fake deadline front. Have you ever been torn between two options and left it up to a coin flip? Only to find that mid-air, you realize which one you really wanted it to be, without even necessarily checking the coin? I

    Each individual app developer is making this particular decision, not Google. If you think apps should be free, this is what happens. Pay for your apps, and you shouldn't be subjected to advertisements. This is why I've historical

    I mean, you still have to go and actually learn how to drive once you turn 15-16 before anyone actually gives you a license/their car. People put a lot of time into that. There's also the fact that too small of a child physically

    It does at least alter the expectations. A jar encourages you to toss your change in, and every little bit can be appreciated. Seeing 15%, 18% and 20% as the available options on an already overpriced coffee can make you even feel like more
