Interestingly, N26 here in Germany advertises with “no hidden charges” and then goes on to charge you for almost everything. Like using an ATM more than 3 times a month. What?

Coolness factor, marketing, standing-out, creative itch, nostalgia, retro vibe. All the regular reasons creative people create things.

There is a very cute Lego version of the LHC in the lobby of the building that houses the LHC. Lego should actually bring it to market.

- "journey": check - "humbled, honored": check - complete shutdown < 30 days: check - no context on what, why, and how it happened: check. This is a sour post, sorry for that. Startups are hard, no question about that

The old huge IBM stuff they have is fascinating but I really was amazed by the Cray. What a cool weird design piece. They totally had some Bauhaus type designer work on the housing.

I’m very similar to you. B2B SaaS. Bootstrapped. Hitting 50k ARR right now. - 1 year is nothing. Do consulting up to two years. - screw partnerships, pilots. They add nothing. - Start blogging and evangelizing - Do anything feasible to get

There is a great observation in one of the Bellingcat podcasts on MH17. Russia no longer denies facts. Instead they go all postmodern: “what are facts anyway? What is truth?” I guess Trump does this too to an extent. Except he has the pres

Averages are misleading when applied countrywide. Just drive through Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe etc. (all provinces) and you will get a totally different picture. I actually just landed at Schiphol on a clear day and you can see the coun

Not sure what happened to your associate but this sounds way, way out there. I run a fairly resource intensive SaaS on AWS (lots of background jobs generating data) and we barely go over $600 a month. People should not be scared of by these

Notion is great https://notion.so . Will probably rip it off for my company soon.

Aha, you mean dedicated security scanning / intrusion detection systems. I use none. I use static websites, Heroku and AWS Lambda for all work. So all of the network, vulnerability etc. worries are of loaded to the provider. No user da

I’m a SaaS bootstrapper. What do you mean with “security stack”? Security is layered into all components of the tech stack. It is not a discrete part of the stack.

This doesn't tackle the click farms / click workers though...

Gotcha. Well, I'm not really sure. Maybe just making likes private or banning likes (as suggested in the talk). Or banning political advertising completely (see the part in the talk on political parties in Germany buying likes). Or som

Very curious about what Facebook's response is to this (outside the response mentioned in the talk, which is clearly not sufficient) Also, if there are any FB employees on here, what do they think of their employer still enabling massi

This is the trick of repetition and probably why the list seems so obvious. There is no “secret trick”. Saying no and taking breaks is just difficult.

Apart from the opening paragraphs, there is zero information what actually went wrong here. I’m super curious how customers ended up seeing other people’s accounts. That seems like a massive major flaw in logic somewhere. Sadly, the article

The alternative could be a Stripe-like model where as you start using your account more seriously, you need to start supplying more serious identification. Gradual identification or something like that.

Heroku does that in 3 minutes. And maintains & updates that stack for you. And gives you deployment automation etc. For $7 a month.

The "bozo agenda" is a great point about early tech hires. I bumped into a few over the years and they can totally kill your dev team and young business.

I'll go out and say it. Most Indie SaaS developers don't really really want to start a business. They might want it consciously and convince themselves of this fact, but sub consciously they are making the wrong choices, optim
