I am extremely sensitive to caffeine, it makes me super jittery and I can feel my heart race. For the last 4 years I've been adding 100mg of pure caffeine powder and 125mg L-theanine to a non-caffinated morning beverage. I even had som

I don't think you're making the point you think you're making. Using a Starbucks coffee to represent CO2 from gas ranges, your total monthly expenditures are $100M, $80M+ of which is going to a few big categories like cars. T

When the company is formed the valuation is genuinely very small because it has no assets, customers, etc. Buying some of your shares in a Roth IRA at this point is relatively common, enough so that I've heard multiple people suggest t

Maybe someone from Stripe is reading the comments and can explain: why do refunds not reduce the reported tax collected? Are we supposed to keep separate records of that?

This is the same Google that keeps "accidentally" breaking various apps for Firefox, and fixing them several months later? [1] At best I can believe that fixing it was intentionally deprioritized. 1: https://www.zdnet.c

One much more feel-good program I'm aware of -- Mentors In Tech is doing mentorship for community college students who want to break into the tech industry. [1] They're almost all from underrepresented backgrounds, many on their s

I once had another founder of a tech startup send me a FB message saying it was "unhealthy" to do this. That person is now a VC (:

Not talking about feature support in an app. Employees of companies which contract with Microsoft must rotate their passwords. (In addition to attending mandatory training, using an anti-virus, etc)

Fun fact, Microsoft requires all their vendors to have mandatory password rotation.

I am so excited for this software. I have used Airtable extensively, and it's a pile of garbage. Here are just a FEW of the "features" Airtable charges $24/user/mo for: - Reliable 1-5 hours a month of downtime. Ther

As a small nonprofit with a tech team consisting of mostly volunteers, a few interns, and a small % of our paid staff time, this was a big concern for us. Things are always fine when you're starting, but if you don't understand th

I was confused about this one because their own study did not show a single person with /etc/nginx, and only a small handful with any vulnerable path.

The issue here is actually that the "potential reach" was inflated by a large number of accounts which Facebook knew were fake, but didn't care to remove. Those accounts were not distributed evenly across all targeting parame

Yes. This isn't the government hunting down political opposition, this is a private company saying "hey, neonazis go somewhere else". If a different private company wants to host the neonazis, they can go for it. It turns out

To me the biggest takeaway is, as always, you should care about what you're building, or you're unlikely to find success.

In the very early days the bridges were less reliable, and there was no warning if a bridge disconnected, so there were a few times when I didn't realize a message didn't go through for a few hours. That's been fixed now :)
