Comparing it with laziness is not far away from saying poor people are lazy. Laziness has nothing to do with it. More often than not, such claims are often connected with not seeing hidden privilege as a competitive advantage. Of all of my

You shouldn't need these kind of apps. Listen to your child. They communicate quite clearly what they need, and after a while you understand their patterns. This is one of those areas where I believe technology will do more harm than g

A bit off topic but true. You don't deserve down votes in my book.

Thanks. So it's for people looking to build their own Stripe?

I don't get. I really don't. I think I've looked everywhere but I can't find it. What's the pricing?

This is me - I had taken SQL at uni and found MongoDB to be much easier to reason about since I knew my frontend parts already. One of the apps I've built has a terrible database structure (my first real life server setup!), and is pro

I think hustler is to the startup CEO what ninja is to a developer. Leaves you wondering if the IT sector is run by high schoolers.

I actually take it one step further and have classes such as `border-1-px border-dark border-bottom standard-margin no-margin-top`. Seem weird at first but combined with flexbox (if your target is the evergreens) you never overwrite and you

And Uber has from the start been anti-worker by it's pure existence. Their "successful" business model is based on illegal business actions, evading laws and regulations and turning poor people into API calls. Uber is also st

Well, this doesn't even contradict what Corbyn is saying. Corbyn is saying that new technology should be used to enable a more socialistic society and having Uber as a broker isn't really needed if the tech development is shared b

I often struggle with app store reviews, because people that are satisfied won't go and rate the app out of the blue. Non-technical users that can't follow an industry standard sign up flow will go completely nuts and give one sta

I did not know this. I do not think cookie warning == site tracking. Many of those pop-ups are people thinking they need it due to the law.

Just read the Wikipedia for Anarchism[1] and feel that it correctly reflects what it means. The one thing that is striking with the article's definition of anarchist is that it seem to refer to anarcho-capitalism (similar to neoliberal

I get the feeling that the author really dislikes Laufer. The whole article comes across as wanting to smear his character as a rich, egoistic crazy person with hubris. I don't know what kind of anarchists you got in SV, but wtf: >

Thanks for clearing that up, I now realize I was being misleading.

Is the finances of a UG/GmbH public information in Germany and easily obtained by citizens?

by devdad 9y ago
This is the same as an AB. Many start by having €5000 and then selling things they own such as computers to the AB, to get the funds "back". I think Sweden changed from €10000 to €5000 a couple of years ago. If the UG or GmbH goes

by devdad 9y ago
Is that correct, €25000 to start a GmbH? The Swedish equivalent (AB), probably some differences, costs ~€5000. I think the registration cost another ~€150.

With respect, and as pure anecdote based on myself, "run a mile" is really good advice. I've dealt with depression since puberty and the main thing that helps me is excercise. Lifting, getting punched with gloves or preparing

This is my dream (careerwise). Just quitting the consultancy doing my own products. How do you attract people that will eventually become the community?

For me, $5 for not having to setup cronjobs is worth it.

Not to be rude, but I fail to see what the use case is for this. You can already use CSS in React and a component is often CSS, JS and JSX. What's the win here?

Uhm. I'd guess they'd be able to pull it from chats easier than what you're suggesting.

Apps that are anchored in the real world is a space that still has plenty of room. But they also require lots of extra work, since physical goods or actual people are involved.
