I'm not in my 50's yet, but in my 40's. What's worked for me is to network. I've been lucky (maybe proactive is the way to think of it) to land in some startups where I didn't have to do grueling interviews. I

I think from Thiels' capitalist view, he's totally correct on this point. But, you could also say, from a virus' view, to reproduce and monopolize a body is also a correct point of view. However, what Thiel ignores is the wor

What still gets me is how people could justify this type of behavior. I suppose, it's not just one person, but a group (possibly large) that are complicit in all of this. At the end of the day, Jim or Monica goes home and thinks "

Sonic is my preferred ISP. No data caps, no snooping, solid customer support. They're just happy being a great ISP. However, outside of their fiber offering, they are hobbled by AT&T copper. I've used Sonic many different time

Uh, it's widely known that fb buys tons of data from many 3rd party brokers. It's not hard for them to get whatever they need, including ssn's I'm sure. And they definitely do have addresses from 3rd parties. Their publi

Yup, deleted my account a while ago, haven't used it in years. Don't miss it one bit. At home, we are starting to have a 'problem' because my wife is constantly on FB. In the car, on trips, in restaurants, at the dinner

I've built (and continue to) a lot of companies using Rails. I also do Swift on iOS and have been playing around with Swift on the server since last year. I have some friends that have an idea and I'm going to help them build it.

I'm surprised at the responses for this post. Mostly because there isn't much family convo on hn. Great stuff, thanks to all. I have 2 kids - 5 & 3. It's the best and hardest all wrapped in a unpredictive, non-linted expe

Great post, I love it! I definitely have an opiniosn. I've raised money, couldn't raise money, have had friends that couldn't, have ended up having friends slogging through to become millionaires without any vc, and even turn

Yup, timing is everything. For press.. I doubt tho, this will affect the lawsuit.

This is why I don't get Thiel. He's obviously smart, but his actipns are anything but libertarian in my mind. Just look at some of his biggest creations and investments: 1. Palantir - big database crunching and querying for some O

Basecamp is one of the few bright beacons in the tech industry. They walk the walk. I often turn to SvN whenever I need a quick morale boost or injection of reality.

Yah, I mean, the Clintons are interesting. Bill is a Rhodes Scholar, Hillary is Wellesley & Yale. Nothing to brush off for sure. Chelsea and a PhD, again, no small feat. I dunno, on one hand I really respect that level of commitment to

Look no further than the Bush's, their connections to the Saudi's, Carlyle group and many others. The short answer is: for conviction, no. We'll see with Trump since he cares about hiding these connections even less than Bush

I'm still tryig to figure out how to process all this. My first thought is, communities do not need facebook to form/grow. They never have. However, even in light of the Arab Spring and other social uprisings around the world, I s

This is bummer news for me. My whole team is based out of SF so we have to dral with Caltrain or drive. :( Plus, there is just not much to do in downtown SJ. There's only one part of Moscone that's being renovated and Apple never

Not only passwords, but api keys as well. I can't tell you how many times I've come across public repos that have full api credentials in them. Boggles the mind..

So beautiful and true on multiple levels. 1. What it says 2. The prose and length of how it is said I will be thinking of this for the rest of the day, thank you.

Sadly, this will never happen and like so many gov documentaries that bring to light abuses by groups, people will be outraged and then life will happen. I wish the FBI or relevant body could get their shit together and say "hey, we re

Yah, my thoughts exactly. Such a big loss for humanity. :( At least we have his son to carry on - there's still a lot of work to be done.

This is a partisan issue. The pro big biz republicans love to tear down any regulation. The democrats aren't that much better, but at least you had a guy running the FCC that wanted to keep net neutrality going. Now, any of those ide

I think the reality of your example would follow the way cable companies offer their typical packages. This 'innovation' usually includes some base of certain channels that you don't even want. Then you can pay up for more pr

This only matters - voting in the presidential elections - in the red states. If you're a liberal, progressive, futurist, etc, and you're living in states like CA or NY or OR, then statistically speaking, those states are pretty m

Hmm, honestly, I've been using adblockers since the early 00's. It started in the form of flash blockers, since there were tons of ads that were flash back then. As humanity progressed, this included various ad networks and other

Cocoa over the last few years has made a lot of cleanup/progress on its api's. Making a Mac app in Swift 3 is almost as painless as making an iOS app nowadays. I feel like there has been a big difference in just the last few yea

I think you're missing the point of some people's disgust: why does one of Trump's figure heads need citizenship in another country to begin with? If he is so in with the Trump administration, why this move? Frankly, I lost a

How are your rights 'trendy'? I tend to stay out of politics, and don't really label people as such, but Trump is a bad guy. I'm happy to donate engineering time to the ACLU.
