Remove all the housing regulation in California and allow builders to build. You'll smoothly see rents going down to $500/month. Start having integrity and finally do what's best for your country, not best for just yourself.

I think that's just clickbait heading. They just promote their full version in their light version. That's normal and expected since forever.

I'm also not a huge fan in general, but it's a distinctly good method for getting feedback when building an API or product. Let me tell you this story: October 2019 we did something similar, but took it to the extreme: We created

Why not study at a top German university instead? It's 100% free and you get a ton of international experience, learn a new language, and can still go to MIT/Harvard/Stanford/... for your master's or thesis

One more idea: "$BIG_TECH has huge developer economies-of-scale". Whenever I or one of our devs has a problem with AWS or configuration, there's a 99% probability that anyone had this problem before and I find high quality go

Tiny improvement suggestion: remove the "collapse" button and show the residual items on mouse hover of any of the top right menu bar area automatically. Save me the extra clicks. That would be exceptional user design :) Right now

It's exactly the same with hiring at FANG/McKinsey/BCG/... :). You optimize for the (well known) interview process. You study 10 hours/day for 2 weeks. And you get the job with 99% accuracy.

FIRST build a successful business, THEN try to sell it. You try so sell something that's essentially worthless, and even worse: you have zero negotiating power. So at best, you would accept an offer of ~10'000 USD. This is the col

Dropbox ultimately failed at B2B, and Box/Azure/Apple/Amazon/Google/ and others have taken their spot way before Dropbox opened up a B2B product.

The BIGGEST problem with research is this: it's HARD, not easy, to understand. Most papers written are absolute trash. Not because the content is. Because it's written in a shitty, overly braggy way (especially mathematics and phy

@YC Leadership: The Chinese Article [1] reads synonymously to: YC China was RENAMED, not aborted. That's highly different from your English statement. LOL: even the website ycchina.com redirects to MiraclePlus. http://www.yc

For better or worse, it sounds a lot like Qi screwed YC here. Raising 55mn USD, leveraging the YC brand, and keeping all of the profits and upside to himself in China. On a fairer note, I think YC got to ask: what unfair advantage do we hav

I would AT LEAST expect 1080p. That's a huge bummer in the year 2020, when even my phone can do 4K. Conferences and Facebook livestreams just don't work with 720p :(
