I used to love, love, love Heroku. I would tell everyone about it, and at one point I was probably running 20+ projects on it. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I've gradually transitioned everything off it over the past few

Late to the party, but just wanted to comment that I appreciated the namesake spelled out by social media icons in the footer. Some people put thought into all angles :)

This may be a dumb question, but at what point does a "machine" become a "robot"?

I very much doubt that.

Autonomous vehicles are far more deferential to pedestrians than human drivers. It's not even close.

That's addressed in the first sentence of the article.

On first pass I took that to mean if they were rigid/formal people. May not be what was intended, but that's how it sat with me.

Zuckerberg's problem is structural: Facebook makes money by manipulating people into viewing ads. No amount of spin or contrition is going to change that, so he has a tough road ahead. He can, however, take a page from Google's bo

TL;DR: guy splices random scenes into his videos that are owned by multiple large corporations so that the firms fight each other over royalties. Is this a "Brilliant Workaround"? I report, you decide.

I'd argue that the best chance for anyone reading this to be remembered in 1000 years is to be the first person to do X on Mars, where X is probably "set foot". That'd get you in the history books for anything related to

This really is the endgame for both Uber and Lyft. IIRC, Uber did $16B last year in revenue and paid something like $13B to drivers. Self driving vehicles will turn their current breakeven/loser business models into massive cash cows.

Honestly I see no reason to even mention markdown. Sundown really has nothing to do with it. Just state why it's an improvement over HTML in various scenarios.

You can't really generalize this to everyone. It's dependent on your managers, and there are definitely people in the world who will fire an otherwise good employee for showing bad "optics" to other employees. You may no

by ukulele 9y ago
I can see the use case you're going for. As others have mentioned though, this value is not coming as an alternative to markdown but rather an enhancement to HTML in a different use case. Feels kind of like Sundown:HTML::SCSS:CSS. If y

This is a nice motivational piece. That said, I would have liked to see some acknowledgement that the original idea is rarely the one that generates value. The "single person with an idea" by itself places too much emphasis on the

For everyone saying Fortress are idiots: this is a loan and the amount is conditional. That means 2 things: 1) If Theranos fails, Fortress can claim its assets. 2) The money is not released until certain milestones are met. So either Theran

But YC is already making the claim that every company in the program is ready for investment. It's doing so by investing in them.

by ukulele 9y ago
By this logic, YC is investing even before the point that others shouldn't be investing, which would make even less sense.

> I think there’s sort of this halo around being a Y Combinator company, where companies raise money that perhaps shouldn’t. This is such a strange sentiment. YC has invested in all of these companies, then they pooh pooh others that fol

Unless I am mistaken, literally all YC companies raise money. They do it from YC itself. There are lots of ways you could spin it, but how can Sam justify such a statement when they've invested in all of these companies too?

"Every X should Y" is an excellent way to say your argument has zero nuance to it.
