I've grew up in a very poor neighbor in a third-world country called Brazil, which also got plenty of opportunities and is beautiful. I would argue that I've started rock bottom, but never hit it, by my choices, which sightly bett

You should mock the services and just test everything independently.

Brazil's countryside is pretty sweet. The issue is that I don't think you can get by with only English, so learning Portuguese would be a must for a non-native. You can eat well, stuff is generally far, you can't get anything

I read programming websites and whenever I read something seem to be useful and get excited about it, I try it out. Has worked well so far. Been reading HN since from the very beginning and tested most of the stuff which was added here, som

You can't do shit with 90k usd if you live in SF or NY. If you live in the midwest, good! Think that as you are possibly an american, your parents might be at ur age getting a house and perhaps even raising you. We definitely make a lo

Don't consider as investment advice, just my own thoughts: 1st of all, investing in crypto is 100% speculation, 0% investing. I still do it though just for fun, for now, it has been working but all could be 0 tomorrow. Coins to watch f

The US is a country full of shit, they've got a shitty healthcare system, good universities which only the very riches can afford, TRUMP and is a country with its history written in blood etc. They've always managed to succeed in

I use sentimental analysis over some content + other factors, when it hits some threshold, I trade it myself. I don't automate it also because I'm not looking for very short trade movements, but more like in periods of 8 hours. So

you need to understand that most, really most of the riches we've got today are rich due to crimes to society. in the US you have a lot of "self-made" people who wouldn't make it anywhere if the US didn't keep its i

racket. The ecosystem is great. I wouldn't use it for anything big on prod though, but it's easy to experiment with and is fun.

Maybe you should change your attitude and think that this is an insult. If you don't have experience, you need to find a way to prove that you hold the skill that you do. You'll be competing against other candidates, try to figure

Even though what I say might sound a bit stupid, I think it's because of style. Everybody that I work with is a geek. If you always thought of yourself more of a guy who is a lawyer, serious, likes to dress well, you will probably want

Didn't really like the article. There's no myth, there's full stack developers and of course, they are no masters in anything, but who is? Even the person who got a DBA job title and has been working with DBs for decades won&

We already pay for inspinia here. It's great. I think the business is legit. You just need to make a very good brand for it and be able to show people that they need it. Once they use it, they'll see that they are getting somethin

Looking at ROI(or any indicator alone) is possibly the worst way to spend your time, because it doesn't mean anything. It's such a poor idea that you aren't even factoring the risks in. And can barely factor it, as it's

I would try to build a product myself. Being a developer for a company is pretty much tedious. I have many years of experience and would definitely trade it for a finance job(something I deeply enjoy, portfolio management etc) if I could.

Material success makes nobody happy, so do success. You don't feel happy while conquering, you feel successful. You feel only happy when you contemplate things. When you look at how much you studied and effort you put to have what you

That's a very good point. Those things are backed-up by big contracts. Other companies will need to invest heavily to follow up on this, and they certainly will soon. But I don't see Tesla becoming an EXTREMELY profitable company

What a comment. Too bad that.. Tesla is funded by money which at the end of the tail came from the printing press from the USA which makes conflicts in all the world for profit, not to mention how much it profits from the misery it creates

I just love berlin streets, I believe the future is actually without cars... I don't see it as outdated, but the future. We have so many bikers and everything goes generally smooth. How about making roads only for bike lanes, having pr

I agree. If the situation goes bad, you can always find a new job, but there's a big opportunity for you to step up and try to do something new that isn't coding. When the house falls down, you leave. But while it's up and ru

happiness is overrated. so is striving to become successful at work. i can hardly believe that i'll be on my deathbed complaining that i wasn't successful enough at work. but rather, I would be mostly filled with happiness and joy

why is it so important to scale this up? how about just being a great dad. having a real impact on a person rather than a very very very diminished one on many? why is impact important, rather than doing something with much care and quality

Get a loan in the bank and invest some in their business if you believe in the market of the product? :-)

I agree. I live in the EU and bought a washing machine for 450 eur. After 1 year and 2 months a big hole in the Drum appeared and this makes it flood my apartment. LG wants 530 eur to fix it, so obviously not worth it. My parents had 2 wash

Why would you pay somebody to administrate your own money and give you random results while you can do it yourself? Corporate bonds. I don't know the legislation in the US, but if there's any chance of you losing your money in cas

I said it in general, some people find one or two things boring, but generally there's at least a sport or something that involves physical activities that they do like. I advise them to do it. The main issue is that people don't

I suggest you don't trade and instead focus yourself on growing your assets by working and doing value investing. Trading is a 0 sum game. It's the same as playing in the casino. The only one who makes money consistently with trad
