I saw this list of founding engineer positions, at companies currently with 2-3 people, and it looks like the offers are all 2% in equity or less. Is this now the standard for the 3rd of 4th hire? It seems low to me, but haven't looked

Unless you're eating it raw, there's no problem with minced garlic or prepeeled garlic. Yes, it has slightly less flavor, but you can just add more of it if you want.

Good luck! Shutting down a startup, especially one that you're passionate about, is never easy. Hope you take the time for yourself to mentally/emotionally recharge.

If you're talking about DJI or equivalents they only have 30 minutes or so of flight time and can carry at most one bomb at a time. They can be useful in guerrilla situations but firepower wise it's not even in the same league as

Drones or no drones, I'd rather be sitting behind 35cm of hardened steel than out in the open with maybe 2cm of body armor max.

This was inspired by an Andrew Yang tweet a few weeks ago. There has to be a better way to show people that we've been vaccinated without carrying around 5 inch piece of paper. Completely open source and easy to self host for maximum p

Very cool! We've been working an app that is looking for this exact type of data. Do you have an API or plans for making an API for this?

I remember when GrubHub was still significantly bigger and it looked like Amazon was going to make a serious play in the space. Certainly the pandemic helped with mass adoption but they've also just built a more competitive product.

And I assume the agent's cut is on top of that? Thanks for laying all of this out. Hopefully some politicians will take notice. It sounds like it's basically impossible to run a business without paying bribes. I imagine even if yo

Even in the medium to high end, the biggest trend for restaurants in the last decades is the dominance of the burger, not exactly a health food. To be honest, most Chinese restaurants probably serve more vegetables (and roughly the same amo

Chinese-American restaurants are declining as Americans get more adventurous with their eating. There are more choices beyond a burger, pizza, and Egg Foo Young these days. From just personal experience over the last two decades, the number

Like many things in life, the fight between good actors and bad actors online is a state of dynamic equilibrium. Everybody loses money to fraud, but as long as they invest enough money and resources they can keep those fraud losses to an ac

Haha, true. If Sundar ever decided to screw somebody and was willing to use all of Google's data without any care of the legal ramifications, that person would be broke and homeless within the hour. For a lot of people, probably in jai

I bet you've never worked on an e-commerce system then because none of your suggestions work against e-commerce fraud, and you'd literally lose all of your money: switch off of the web into an App: Can't just shut down your w

It's an arms race, and the problem is that there are two groups of "bad guys." One group of "bad guys" are the ones who want to track what you're doing even after you've cleared your cookies or track you a

This kind of fingerprinting is used across the industry for anti-fraud purposes. The problem is that it used to be good enough to block "known-bad" IPs but now with AWS and cloud services it's very easy for cybercriminals to

The GDPR law is complex, but I'm 99% sure that this guy is misinterpreting it here. Sending data to Google, FaceBook and AppsFlyer (and other American companies) is generally legal under GDPR. All three companies are covered under the

The rating system is not at all fraudulent if done by one of the three biggest labs: GIA, AGSL, and IGI. The appraisal system is often massively overinflated, however. You won't receive anywhere close to what you paid for, much less th
