I may be an outlier here. But I strongly prefer not to optimize for speed when building an MVP. Because it just _never_ (at least in my experience) gets a chance to be fully rewritten into something better. The idea of an MVP is to prove th

This of course is not what happened. The article explains. He was granted stock at a much (much) cheaper price.

And still, it seems this is exactly what the article says and it makes perfect sense to me, so I’m not sure why the parent is downvoted.

The article says it’s NOT a point in space btw and that it happened everywhere simultaneously. This is an interesting idea I wasn’t aware if and trying to wrap my head around it now :)

A quick comment: it doesn’t make sense to compare your life and level of happiness with other people. Why not to compare with ancient doom and gloom times? What would it change to realize that you are better off than 100% of roman empire ci

Or, here's another idea - how about we just imprison people for less time? Since the largest portion of their sentence is meant not as an actual punishment, but as a deterrent for others anyway. (Also, I find it amusing how people find

That’s a very good point very well put - I fully subscribe. At that stage the problem is players and catalogue - focus on those extremely hard, don’t misplace your limited efforts into solving a not yet existing issue. Edit: typos

I actually would strongly disagree here. One of the best things that happened in gaming in the recent years surprisingly is Apple Arcade. A good selection of cute games bundled in one monthly subscription. No microtransactions (god save!),

I think this is talking about profit, not revenue. You can reinvest [edit: excessive] revenue to not have profit.

This is history in the making. Huge props to Oregon legislators for spearheading the change. Soon we’ll see official psychedelic therapy centers operating in the open and this is hands down one of the best things for the society.

Hah, just made a similar comment next to yours. 100%.

As somebody who did it several times in multiple companies, it's not as hard as it looks. Usually you don't want to replicate your complete frontend experience, only the user facing part (and admin panel/etc can be a lot of p

My first reaction was “wow, what?” - but after reading the link you provided, it seems this was a plan B and a safeguard in case actual ministers would get sick. “Mr Morrison only used the powers of his appointments once: to refuse an appli

Thanks for sharing this. It sucks and my heart is with you. Have had simular experiences, albeit shortlived so hard to imagine how this feels on a longer time scale. A sort of naive question. It shouldn’t be very hard to get this medication

I’m also very interested to learn more and also super curious to brainstorm about your governance protocols since we are building a community platform and I wish we support these cases better. If you have 30 minutes sometime, can you drop m

I think you seriously underestimate the pace of AI innovation these days. My conservative guess is 5 years for a single-human-supervised full length movie of this sort.

Exactly this. This survival mode is obviously temporary to do a hard reset of culture, processes and codebase. With Twitter getting a much better balance sheet, what would stop them from hiring more great folks again in 3-6 months? I think

They are better if you want maintanance. They are worse if you want radical changes. I’ve seen it a lot of times myself, people like that actually create a lot of friction similarly to this fired Android guy, having a stake in the game of j

Yes. I also feel that a lot of people may be misunderstanding the motivation here. I think Musk is saying what he’s saying for a very specific simple reason. To weed out people who are just cruising along and being paid not doing much. I do

Have you checked the chart linked by OP? It has data for the same period of the last year and there’s no such drop so it disproves the seasonality thesis. There could be something else of course. But also possible that some companies are be

From my understanding, this logic is incorrect. Debt is not serviced from GDP. Debt is serviced by printing free cash (which raises inflation rates). And debt buyers buy it exactly because of inflation, with the majority of the debt actuall

Why would this transition ever happen? Network effect is too strong. How open-sourcedness of an alternative would help with this fact?

I think we all can agree that this is a sort of a movie that benefits from lack of any judgement so we can enjoy it for what it is in its own ways :)

SF or Austin will make you depressed man - people worry there too much about money and tech fame and less so about work life balance. Plus it’s expensive. You may want to find a place where tech nomads hang out, not the hardcore corporate s

Because physical goods are subject to differently priced logistics and local ingridients and remote work is not? Seriously, how can you even compare?

This just means that you are not the right customer for a lot of early startups. But it would be a mistake to extrapolate from this anecdotal point, assuming that everybody is like you. There are a lot of people who are very happy to be ear

I assume the parent comment is saying they are already in an attrition war they are very likely to lose. So that thinking from 2014 was correct.

National heritage is not only a matter of utility for the ease of cross-nation communication. It comes with some debts we all have to pay to really earn it.

What I don't get is why Snap never tried to build a good product around that and give creators (uhmm) a good way to monetize their profiles. This seems like such an obvious thing to do to me. Why would you give up on that usage and all
