Isn't it amazing that Paul Graham hasn't updated his CSS in 20 years? Paul - spend a few tokens to give me a text size I can read?

Thanks Eric - been a fan of your work for years! I remember Steve Blank bragging in his early courses that you evangelized his work to the masses. I applaud writing a book on the challenges of making a business that is net good for society.

Thanks for the thorough analysis. Wish articles like this were not written optimized for SEO. They’re much harder to read!

Does anyone know why apple acquired them just to shut it down? It doesn’t seem like the weather data was unique - what was unique was its user focussed design. To acquire it just to shut it down would have only made sense to me had they act

Privacy.com is a great service. I use them all the time to generate 1 time use card numbers for sites & then cancel the card so they cannot mysteriously charge me. I've been with them for years & their CEO is a wonderful &

There are a lot of efforts to increase diversity in media. One effort that has been happening is providing incentives to have diverse top of the line staff on productions so that they share their stories and angle on things. We at wrapbook

I happen to have co-founded a company (Wrapbook) that makes it easy to work with gig-based workers as employees. The entertainment space long ago settled this fight and classifies everyone as employees, not as contractors, even when they wo

I've unfortunately become a payroll tax-witholding specialist. You're required to withold taxes in the state that work is performed. If you're working from home, that's your work location. You should get refunded for you

Would suggest that SEO is just one of many tactics to acquire users. I bet that from this article - you'll get waaaay more customers for your early stage product than ranking on google would have gotten you at this early stage. I used

For a long time I've been confused about the rules of monopolies. Microsoft got into a lot of trouble when they bundled IE into Windows so much so that the US threatened heavily to break up the company. Fast forward a decade later and

MailChimp likes doing stuff like this. When I once travelled to Ghana, I discovered that because I was in Ghana, they blocked my entire account without warning.

This is HUGE! Microsoft throwing away the IE engine in favor of one more or less standard rendering engine is a huge win for web developers everywhere! It's also something that would have been unimaginable in the Steve Ballmer era. Tha

Overall, Google at the very least has published their Material Design guidelines that are very good. https://material.io/design/ That said, I'm annoyed that they are shutting down inbox. The UX of it was amazing.

Quick question: Have you tried to formally learn CSS? I think you can get by with layouts on 80% knowledge from just tweaking things but to really be able to go start to finish on a frontend layout, I would suggest investing the hours to kn

I would offer a contrarian perspective on this development: this isn't good for society. While for sure we don't want people going to prison for smoking a joint - this also isn't necessarily good for society for corporations

I've interacted a lot with the larger banks and been flabbergasted at how they view the world. Banks, big and small, regard the consumer operations of the bank as a cost center, which they should do as little as possible to maintain. I

I’m sure somebody would pay. Sure there may be proxy services out there that cater to these needs, but this isn’t to say that they can’t be improved. Check out also the number of companies that are doing some version of digital therapy. Wo

6 million people ride it every day. Where are you getting your numbers from? Other countries build subways that are better and cheaper than they are in America.
