Most consumers expect that all available options in the marketplace comply with all regulations, and then make a surface level decision on the best option. So if there’s a company that is not competing in a fair way, there should be regulat

It sounds like Carta is marketing to early employees and not to accredited investors. There will be quick product market fit if employees prefer to join companies listed on CartaX. I have offer A that is liquid, and offer B that is not liqu

My friends are leaving for cities like LA where they expect to enjoy it more. In my experience the majority of new SF residents move in to start a new job - not for the food, nightlife, or culture. If the jobs are remote, that segment will

Saifedean Ammous writes pretty convincingly how a fixed money supply would be a good thing. I don’t know of any other unique benefit. It will be interesting to see how it plays out with nation states and diminishing block rewards. I’m holdi

I have always regretted investing spare cash while feeling a sense of self imposed time pressure. I would sit on it until there is an opportunity you are excited about.

It should eventually fall under consumer protection laws. Failing to report incidents on a status page is like failing to mention trans fat on a package label.

I can see why they did it that way. Fixing the algorithm would require setting the base pay relative to delivery cost and then canceling orders that don’t tip enough to get accepted. Not exactly palatable for customers. ”Your order was not

Keep in mind every pull for transactions will cost money so you need to charge enough per month to cover those costs. It’s closer to $1 than a penny like most APIs.

Slacking means doing the minimum required to get by. It doesn’t mean doing nothing and getting fired. I was replying to the parent comment idea that engineers at Facebook work hard because in my experience they do not. Which is fine. Slacki

Facebook hires tons of zero passion 10am-4pm engineers. It might not be deliberate slacking but it’s definitely not hard working.

I lived in Montreal for three years and for at least eight weeks of the year the air outside was so cold that it hurt my face and made my eyes tear up. It is also a beautiful city and was a great period in my life.

(0.2) Keep your day job. (0.4) Start building a portfolio. Nobody will hire you without examples of past work or past clients they know. Blog posts, LinkedIn recommendations, case studies, screenshots, mockups, anything is better than nothi

In my experience consulting opportunities come through personal connections and often to work with early stage clients that are not very technical. What you bring is experience they can trust because you were referred by someone they know.

Off topic but it would be cool to have function types use just > for brevity, such as “add: int>int>int” and have equality operators use two characters, such as << >> >= <= ==.

It sounds like you do your best work to impress others. What if you hire a code mentor to review your code every couple weeks? It’s worth $100 if it works.

Value is captured at the point of sale for everything, not just ecommerce. Also, there’s a number of successful publicly traded logistics companies in the $20b to $70b range.

My great-grandmother died a month before her 100th birthday. Born in California with valid records and survived her husband by decades. She was pretty active and alert considering her age well into her 90s. We would walk together on the gro

It depends. Are you paying for the visit or per hour / per treatment? Paying by visit aligns the doctor to perform the minimum required treatment instead of something expensive “just in case”.

I have a friend who received a similar windfall at a young age. He bought multiple super cars for himself, paid off his parents mortgage, bought his sister and girlfriend a high end SUV, bought a house, spent a lot partying for two years, t

It’s hard to make a flattering video. TV studios have professional makeup artists and lighting from every angle. It’s a lot easier to take a flattering photo.

It’s true in cities as young professionals too. It’s often a group of friends where everyone moved to the city after school or a group of friends that grew up there.

You made my point better than I did. “Not everyone can reach the top.” Young people have had fewer opportunities to reach the top. Not being at the top is a negative signal that gets stronger every year.

Young people have more variable potential. If you hire a young person they might be 100x or 10x or 1x in a couple years. If you hire an old person you already know they aren’t 100x or 10x otherwise they would be above you in the org chart o

Yeah that’s something you can decide too, while typing it out. It’s not about having extra context every time, it’s about deciding. Sometimes you want to ignore the error and take the zero value. Adding try to the language creates a new pat

I would rather every developer takes a second while writing out “if err != nil” to decide how to add context or maybe return a new error with useful metadata.
