Even if it feels safe it doesn't mean it really is. If you aren't paranoid about these things you can lose a lot.

Psychological safety is a double edged sword. If you feel free to interrupt people, express dissent, and joke around during meetings then people might begin to resent you. It's a big risk. Despite feeling "safe", it's st

Most law enforcement officers don't know what an API is, so I don't know why you're saying they want them and putting it in quotes. Basically, you're just making stuff up.

The last time before I moved, I took a bunch of perfectly good furniture and other stuff I didn't want anymore and put it on my street corner. Within a day, it was gone. There was low income housing nearby so maybe one of those people

Well if you use first principles to an extreme, you might decide that work is pointless (or even bad) and you'll decide to live in a small cabin instead like Ted Kaczynski. People who claim to use first principle are usually dishonest

My prediction for the year 2100: many more articles about graphene, little to no real world usage growth.

It has nothing to do with fairness. The way it works is a company can decide "I don't have to be here" and shut down operations there, while a country can decide "You have to pay X tax because I said so". The end re

Why will she become a VC? So she can waste her money? VC has the worst returns out of any investment class. If you mean invest other people's money as a VC, then maybe, but I haven't seen her show any interest in that.

Maybe the Chinese authorities have broader power in China than the FBI has in the US.

Actually returns (on solar companies) will probably be pretty high. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swanson%27s_law and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics Looking at the graph

Many solar companies are international. They have highly optimized technology for reducing $/watt that can't be half-assed by Fortune 500 companies. Customer acquisition takes a while.

You could buy every solar startup as soon as they get to X size. Also hardware startups do have significant barriers of entry.

The market cap of all the solar stocks in the industry ($14 billion or so) is about the same as the market cap of Twitter. Pretty baffling to me. If you're a billionaire and want to be a trillionaire, all you'd have to do is buy e

I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 6 years ago, but I have no problem finding jobs. I just never tell anyone that I have it. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1, was in a psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks, and on short term disability

You could buy multiple domain names through Godaddy or such and just set them to forward with masking to various URLs of your heroku app. I don't see why this wouldn't work.

I prefer the "VC" style (MVC minus the M). It is way too much work to have to redefine your models on both the client side and server side, when you can simply have all the data in temporary dictionary structures. You define your

> The problem with Heroku is their pricing model and while $7 doesn't look like a lot it rockets when you have several projects. Just having 10 applications make the cost go up to $70 which is already too much to put down each mont

I've done a few experiments with myself where I went entirely without checking my phone and favorite websites for a week at a time. I found myself much more tired (either willpower depletion or not being stimulated as much), and my pro

As someone who used to work at Cisco, I'm not surprised. Everything is coded in C, and there are memory leaks all over the place because releases are made before most of these bugs are fixed.

If your attraction to someone is determined by whether they have a 1 minute or 10 minute response time, then maybe you should reexamine your priorities.

How exactly do you invest in a startup, and how can you see their financials? It's not like they're listed on NASDAQ. And how would you know your shares are secure, without bringing in lawyers? Investing in a startup seems complic

I agree. For example, if you spend exactly $1000 on advertising a day, and have no network effects, you will get linear user growth.

I guess the assumption is that anyone looking for parse-server has already used Parse in the past.

by xyzzy4 11y ago
What you should've done instead is make another closed source Parse under a different name, get acquired for $X million, then do it again ad infinitum.

Do you think the companies that have healthy price to earnings ratios are in a bubble?
