Unsolicited advice: your problem isn't great - sure engineering leaders want to increase personal connections between remote teammates, but is that one of their top problems and how much are they willing to pay to solve it I would iter

This is what I'm talking about. It's been 3 years, and they're still doing testnets? What a joke.

This article seems like it was written in 2017, not 2020. Filecoin raised over $200m and hasn't shipped anything that I'm aware of in 3 years. Maybe it will be revolutionary, but the crypto industry has long moved on from white wh

As someone who grew up in China, I think this analogy is overblown. PG and others are up in arms about "cancel culture," but I'm not seeing substantial evidence of people's voices being suppressed by the masses. The few

Agreed, angels are a much better financing path for founders building profitable startups.

I'm a co-founder of a 15-person startup. We switched our banking and credit cards from Chase to Brex about a year ago and it's just lot better - UX, fees, data, perks, etc.

I remember reading this article when it came out in 2013. When I re-read it today, I finally saw all the obstacles and discrimination that Ellen Pao and Buddy Fletcher had to overcome just to be in a position to be embroiled in scandals lik

This is exactly how we hired most of our devs at Hummingbot. We used to hire expensive Silicon Valley engineers before realizing that the folks we found on Upwork were just as good , if not better.

This is bad advice. Spending money on SEM before you have any product validation is a waste of money.

I'm sure this post is well intended, but it just pushes new founders into obvious, crowded categories like virtual conference and remote work SaaS. To find good ideas, founders need to go a lot deeper than asking themselves "what

I was involved with similar trades at JPMorgan and Citi. Investment bankers gave these presentations to hedge funds to convince them to short the housing market. Then, they created a CDO, called the hedge fund the "manager" and tr

My first startup used computer vision to extract tables from PDFs. We had great engineers but my co-founder and I didn't know enough about ML back then to design a proper feedback loop. My advice is to find a technical co-founder who h

The stack trace utility looks super useful. Getting the "Error: VM Exception while processing transaction" without any additional context is a huge waste of time.

Irony: a blog post about productivity inspires lots of discussion on the site where tech workers go when they're feeling unproductive.

I think it's a great idea and signed up for the beta. Just curious though - given the Binance hack today that seemed to only affect people who had given out their trade API keys, how will you ensure that people trust your bot?
