Or… heart me out, maybe it’s because Elon knows they have the most to loose and are thus more likely to do whatever he wants to not get kicked out of the country. Elon made some statements that made his disdain for the “laptop class” quite

Your response to that problematic event seems like dealing with trauma and some of the words you use like “our society has become […] significantly more feminized” seem to indicate some of those issues are still unresolved. While I apprecia

I'm in agreement with pretty much everything @crazygringo has said. I don't know if this will help, but if I can offer a clarification on why I think product-led id not synonymous to "customer-led" or "market led&qu

Product-led typically means "driven by customer needs" but also being able to make the correct trade-offs vis a vis engineering and sales considerations. That is, delivering something that is in line with what you can build and no

In some places, you need to pay rights to play music in your store. As Square has a great number of business customers, it might be an easy upsell. Like get paid and provide a great ambiance? Could also be a play to help reframe how people

Things can stay the same way for a long time, especially since, as you point out, governments now have large scale surveillance/ controls tools. That doesn’t mean that things will be going well for these populations. You might just hav

Canada has limits in free speech and seems to be doing just fine as a democracy. At least, it’s muuuuch better than the American one.

How about a simpler principle: harm reduction. Letting people be mislead about vaccines harms people, letting people get brainwashed into mistrusting the legitimacy of their institutions harms people, letting people use their platform to in

The kicker is that not everyone can pay the grand and since you have 8 people in the ER making 5 stitches, there no one left to help anyone else. So, it works for some people, but overall it’s a pretty shitty system.

No it just means that it’s beyond comprehension. As a Canadian, I feel the same way. Everything about the American healthcare system feels like a nightmare to me. From the cost, to the fact that it’s usually tied to your employer (!!) and t

In absolute terms or in terms average quality of coverage for the population? Because in absolute terms, sure. In real “quality of healthcare”. Most likely not. The fact that life expectancy in the US is lower (and decreasing too) than any

It’s seldom mentioned when talking about unemployment. Particularly when it comes to titles, so it’s fair to say excluding the hopeless from unemployment makes it a misleading metric

Seconded. Maybe push the security aspect? Have a tier be “bug bounty” and add something like “PM alerts are for users only. Report a bug and get a free version, for life”

It’s not a “socialist” city and it has not been proven to be more corrupt unless you count anecdotal media reports to be robust scientific studies. There is corruption, but it’s not clear how much worse it is than in other North American ci

To be fair, we now have robots that throw perfect pointers and do hard math. If anything, they were ahead of their time! :p

That’s a great point, but I don’t think theory says that you have to stay at the base level of your specialization. While not as high margin as the other industries, they could go up the value chain and start producing smoothie packets to m

There is a difference between distributing an app and forcing people the developer to pay for the underlying service it offers. Especially if you opt to not use any of said platform services. App distribution != online services. They are tw

There are multiple things retail does. Discovery and sales is one of it, but no one does what Apple wants to do with IAP. Imagine that you buy a DVD player at Best Buy. That's cool. Best Buy decides the markup, where it puts it, how mu

Path 2.0? I think it's needed now more than ever. Bootstrapping communities is hard though, how do you plan to do that?

Sure, you can be friends with bigots and authoritarians. It shouldn't be surprising it is a cause for concern for many people.

Did you miss the line where it was written "before we started the program, we were losing revenue. Now we increased it by 1MM$ / month"? It seems that the whole point of the article is that while IT thinks that it is serving

That reminds me of an article about how by staying private longer, startups and investors were trying to capture most (if not all) of the upside from the company's growth. I had not taken in to the logical conclusion that by going publ

Are you saying they are not related? When Apple release the Apple Watch, they pushed the health features. However, they didn't think to account for women's menstural cycles and how it can affect physiological indicators. It would
