FWIW, I just heard this guy (Head of Growth) on Lenny's podcast a few days ago and one of the things he explicitly mentioned was creating intentional friction for growth. This seems to be one of those tests.

In periods of massive inflation, only the most wealthy survive. But there's competition out there -- the open-source chinese models. In their current form, I assume that will turn off many people but new models -- based on those -- are

Yeah, that's completely unbelievable. You don't just accidentally call Trump a "dictator" or go on an extended tirade about Sam Altman. Clearly, he was speaking how he truly felt and how he's doing damage control.

Whether you align or don't align with these politics, I find it generally distasteful when private chats are leaked. There's clearly some expectations of privacy (using Signal with expiring messages) and someone leaking this reall

For all the snark from people who dislike Elon, this is a bit of a sad ending. I remember when Twitter announced their presence in mid-market and the promises of how it would help the area. What people don't realize is that his will le

Generally this is unlikely the happen (obviously will depend on which EV and which ICE). The reason being is that consumers have generally accepted the cost for cars at a certain level. Rather than dropping the price for cars, they add more

Will people be able to build on the engine like the original? I used to love playing the Day of Defeat mod (ww2 themed) and could definitely see mass appeal for that on top of this new engine.

Not OP but first off I'd say that while some things feel similar, I don't think we're close to how bad it was back then if you look at the magnitude of the fall out. So take these answers understanding that things were worse

When you want to do broad company-wide layoffs, you have to adopt some broad strategies, otherwise it'll be way too much work to find 15% of the company. It's like trying to do surgery with a scalpel when you really need a saw to

I was a big fan of the NYT. I’ve always considered them a trustworthy source of news. However, their coverage of Facebook since the election has showed me how much bias there is in the media as well as how much an entity can serve their own

Fear Uncertainty Doubt In the beginning, Facebook was, to some extent, private. I'm thinking back to the days when they were rolled out college by college. Even after then, mostly people of a certain generation were on FB. Since then,

Having worked for a number of years in the Valley, I can say that the salary part is true. However, now that I work at a large tech company that's public, the big thing that's missing from this is stock / RSUs. After doing my

Yup. This, to me, is a partial admission of guilt. Why else would they take such harsh, immediate action to throw him under the bus?

Hogwash. Companies always say they will open an investigation. In the least, it buys a little time for the story to die down and the next big stories to hit the media cycle.

Same. This just makes it look like she's overly sensitive and perceiving things in a very skewed and unfair light.

LOL @ "victimless-crime-contraband." What a joke. Where do you think the majority of drugs come from? Some hippie's backyard? See the world's stop producers of drugs and you'll find violent, broken countries many of

There's no freedom of information in the country. They subverted this by cleverly sending technology and information by using low-tech means. Sounds like a hack to me.

Game developers can just use cross-platform games engines (like Unity) that support Windows, Mac and Linux.

My theory with content apps (I've seen this elsewhere) is that the majority of money comes from a small percentage of users (1-10%). These users are what typically is referred to as whales. The biggest obstacle to monetizing whales is

I see your point and do feel the same way. The problem (industry-wide) is that the process only allows for a glimpse of a candidate. Even if you're interviewing all day, you're probably only talking to each interviewer for 1 hr (or less) an

At the larger tech companies, many of their problems typically are an issue of scale. They are dealing with large datasets, massive numbers of users, terabytes of data, etc. When dealing with scale, its important to have efficient solutions

From the post: "Good coding problems are fractal in nature. They can be extended arbitrarily to gauge the depth of your knowledge. For example, you might be asked to solve a problem any way you want. Then you'll be asked to solve it again i

Most of what was written here is true of all platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, iOS and Android. - In the beginning, there are few rules and so it's the wild west. Developers see what they can get away with. - As time goes on, platform
