YC is great and am interested to see how their investment thesis progresses. It is an answer to Harvard/Ivy league criticism that if the teaching methodologies were as good as the institutions claim; scaling them would be a net good. C

I'm not sure if a 5c user would get that 2gb app or an optimized version. But if the question is tradeoffs, and that 2gb number holds that is 1/8 and 1/4 of the 8gb and 16gb phone. Also, iirc I only had ~5gb after the OS and

Last time this came up there was a rush to criticize the stupidity of running a relay in Russia. Well, we need those relays. We need them distributed. He knew the risks and he did it anyway. I commend his courage. I use tor. I don't ru

I have no idea about the economics but if we're doing napkin math, maybe the bottles cost 30-35 and are cheap enough to produce that they have 33% profit margins. That's about $10 a bottle or $240 a case. 2016: 28.8m profit 2017:

I agree with your point but think it furthers the above logic that personality (or editorial motivation) matter quite a bit. Assange and his motivation is important as he has seemingly near total control of WL.

AMZN is one of the most interesting stocks & Companies. Its a new age Warren Buffett-esque value company. He probably doesn't invest in it due to the tech complexity, but it is the type of Company he looks at, just a the 21st cen

There was a pretty bad article about chip making posted a few weeks ago. The one great point it made was that the nm was not comparable across manufacturers. So, I guess my question is how big of a deal is this?

Also, I think it is hard to get product market fit. You pretty much have to release a whole game before you know if it's successful. Unless you are established it is much harder to bootstrap. You can release a level and optimize but ga

The 40 hour work week is arbitrary. It was made for railroad workers who had high workplace accident rates and worked 6-7 days a week. Many died because pre-implementation they worked at night w/o sufficient electric lighting as it was

The article also states, a few other anecdotes. A recruiter who uses LinkedIn to send unsolicited messages on the platform for professional gain was upset she received unsolicited social messages. She was unable to recognize the irony. Anot

It is an analogy. It breaks down. I clearly admire her but am trying to point out that there is someone just like her aiming at a Pulitzer.

If a journalist with no experience learned to code on the side and built something interesting we would applaud. We wouldn't make them an SRE at Google or Uber. Fowler did something great and it was powerful despite not being her life&

It's similar to Newegg. They always fight patent trolls. I think the ROI between customer Goodwill, employee culture and dissuading suits is probably close to break even if it was measureable

Not that 2 anecdotes is enough; but between both and the media it really sounds as if AMZN is internally terrible.

This is great. A wall is stupid, but if we end up doing a huge solar project, that's great. I think any immigrant who effectively circumvents it should be allowed to apply for citizenship.

So the "benefit" was instead of allowing people to notify them in advance; the daytime market subsidized cars waiting mostly idle at 3am.

I read it as a practicality. It doesn't matter in the sense that; like it or not, it happened. Factually, the change took place and the effects are real. You can make a new change through market or regulations but currently things are

Me neither BUT I am optimistic about this. If ads become better, horrifying ones get blocked and most users have blocking we will see some great things: - non-technical users with safer and better experience - better revenue models / m
