You should join a startup where generally everyone needs to carry their weight for the company to succeed which creates camaraderie opposite of loneliness.

They key point that's missing here is that ALL stock trades are on "margin" because in reality it takes 2 days to settle a trade, but that is abstracted away from you by the brokerage and clearing house, and made available to

You are taking your personal anecdotes and extrapolating. No one would disagree with you that mental illness and addiction are major factors in homelessness. But your argument is like saying, anyone who doesn't believe everyone in th

This is spot on. As a hiring manager for these type of positions, the primary thing I look for is a track record of using data to achieve business results. This of course creates a barrier for entering this field and makes those with this

Yes, and I only feel bad for those who have cancer, and have no food to eat. The employees only have to worry about the mental anguish of suffering through some stupid whiteboard coding problems to get their next job. /sarcasm off.

Why didn't they turn off the engine to stop the vibration? To a layman that would seem safer than having an engine violently shake the wing!

Personally, I would do whatever you think best sets up your child for success. In my case, it's unfathomable in my family culture to not pay for college for the child if you're financially able because that is what we believe wil

It's more than people being used to free access. Tolls on a major highway like the 405 would effectively be a regressive tax - people need to get to work and in L.A. there often is no alternative. And people seem to generally agree r

This is kind of missing the whole point. Which is, as a developer, you can slip anything into the Apple appstore that you could have slipped into Alexa's, so the point the article is making about certification is silly. Of course the

We were one of these potential bigger customers willing to fork over thousands per month, but the unit cost was still too expensive for us. We tried to negotiate a better bulk rate, but their team was unresponsive and so we eventually went

The one language to rule them all reasoning is a red herring. We chose nodejs for our server code for an iOS app as do many others. The reason why JS + node is popular is becasue it's pretty good at each of the metrics you mentioned. E

As soon as you make a game that's able to compete for conversions on ads, your game probably won't be considered indie anymore. Ads are extremely competitive and the only way to compete and not get priced out is to "sellout&

How did you get access to the binaries? I would think the AppStore requires a session and valid purchase in order to download. Or is this analysis based on binaries submitted by your users?

As a 3rd party without detailed knowledge of the space and each company's position it's hard to say. Here is a possible framework for you tho. Since you are basically asking for co-founder level equity in the merged company, prete

Although I use Netflix all the time, it's in spite of their app. Outside of the "my list" I've curated myself, 98% of the things the Netflix app shows me, I'm not really interested in. I feel like that ratio could

I can get more things done in 60 hours. I'm looking at productivity over the long term. If I work 60 hours/week for a whole year I will accomplish a whole lot more than if I worked 30. But if I work 80 hours per week, I will onl

Sorry, but I just don't buy this wishful thinking of low hour high productivity. Personally, I probably hit peak productivity around 60 hours although I rarely work for longer than 4 hours without taking a break to eat lunch/dinne

Voice recognition is not in an uncanny valley. Uncanny valley means there is a point where something that is less real is better than something that is more real. Pixar improves the scene by adding elements that are unrealistic. Another

"As the startup, you have all the leverage before you sign a term sheet. Once you sign, you have almost no leverage at all." A breakup fee would help mitigate this. Is that uncommon and difficult to negotiate for?

No doubt there is more opportunity today than before as the Internet has grown, but 15 years ago, I got my start as a young teenager selling shareware, which was quite common back then. I don't have any data on this right now, but I b

These things aren't binary. I believe the USA is more meritocratic than it's not. Also depends on what you define as merit. Is having capital a merit? In the eyes of the economy anything that has utility has merit, and capital

But then how would you automatically identify the app name as shown in his email? I think it's easier to download the app. Only ~1m android applications out there. You can probably crawl the android store with just 1 or 2 servers us

You can build a trie of all the AWS keys and then for each Android binary, traverse each series of bytes until it either terminates at a leaf node or fails to continue. If it fails, you start over again on the next byte. Or in order words

This is absurd. While I'm sure there is a lot of fraudulent activity and rubbish ad networks (IE Facebook likes, as claimed by the article), traditional online ads are pretty trivial to track at this point for a business that can comp

If this trend continues, the implication will be that venture capital will cease to exist as we know it, but instead will resemble traditional private equity where capital is mostly allocated to established viable businesses.
