This is consumer thinking, not business thinking. Every high ticket item on the planet comes with the option of a support contract.

I challenged myself to learn to count cards last year and I found it really fun. Being able to count a deck in under 30 seconds is one thing, but putting the skill to work is another challenge completely. It is hard work. Ultimately, if you

This is exactly what’s terrible about Airbnb. A listing in a residential neighborhood creates negative externalities on that community.

Redis. Back in the day when I ran memcached with the rest of the cool kids, I always wanted something like SADD and LPUSH. Redis is a realization of that vision and using it is always a delight to me.

I immediately jumped to “why don’t we just compress them?” and it turns out I was wrong. The author is using the WOFF format ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Open_Font_Format ) which is already compressed with zlib us

If you liked this article I would recommend “How To Invent Everything” by Ryan North. The book is effectively a time travelers guide to reinventing technology.

It sounds like a standard “double Irish” tax scheme. It’s possible FB did the same thing as everyone else and the IRS is just going after one of the big fish to get case law in their favor. If that were to happen, they’d potentially get to

Review volume is not a useful indicator. HR departments actively lobby employees to write positive reviews. These will always outnumber the honest reviews.

You can’t pick up a dictionary and determine how difficult it is to speak a language. One of the most difficult things about pandas is knowing how to shape your data frame before you plug it in to something. Most of my frustration comes fro

I’ve seen some writing on what makes marketplaces resilient to “supply side defection” as you call it, but I’d love to hear your take. Specifically I’d love to hear more about structuring to leverage the relationship, or anything else you t

Because using scrap cars to exhaust the barnacle supply is a hilarious way to hack the system for the benefit of other students.

As a cam site operator, you have a legal obligation to keep a record of their ID as proof of age. Keeping just the ID’s number isn’t sufficient. Could they have firewalled the data better? Hell yeah, there’s a long list of ways this could h

In my partner’s speciality, a job in SF or Oakland pays less than a starting software eng at Google or Facebook. A medical degree costs easily 5x an undergrad CS degree.

Yep, when I sent out a call for help for a bug on HN in 2012, I got ~190 votes. When I posted the followup I got 5. It’s a little strange because for Reddit’s r/legaladvice it’s the opposite. Follow up posts can rank much more highly t

There’s 100x more bots that don’t run JS than do, so the presence of a running JS environment is a helpful filter. User agent is not a good substitute.
