When I saw the cryptic 1 sentence tweet that he wasn't going to be there, the first thing that came to mind was that he was telling his supporters indirectly that they could do whatever they wanted since he wouldn't be in harms wa

Agreed on this one. I was with a company, since the beginning, that ended up blowing up. In the middle of its growth, I had to move, and ended up becoming a remote engineer. Since the acquisition, all my colleagues (who all started at the s

Do you have a plan for when the anonaddy.com domain is added to the blacklisted emails? For example, I know on some websites will just straight up reject addresses from Mailinator or Sharklasers. Is there a way to prevent this from happenin

For me it ended up not being worth it because I don't go in every day. In my case, the point of me WFH is so that I could get my commute time back, not just spend it going to a "different" office. With that said, I found myse

You summed up perfectly my experience with WeWork and co-working spaces in general. You have to pay for the month, but I was only using it 2-3x a week -- I mean part of a WFH job is to get back your commute time! Those few visits felt prett

Why do people like WeWork? Here in Singapore, a hot-desk at WeWork is $400+ USD a mont. Am I crazy, or is $400 a month a lot of money for a hot-desk with decent internet? Or is it one of those things where all their money is in the big rent

Someone tried to run this investor scam on me during Slack's funding process. Replace Google with Slack, and the scam was nearly identical in execution. Be careful out there! http://mobile.nytimes.com/2004/05/

fwiw that translation is wrong. 大器晚成 means "The bigger the cauldron/pot, the longer it will take to cast/make [the cauldron]."

Fwiw I use and am actually quite impressed with Quickbooks Self-Employed version, and I've never had a problem with 1099 management. They keep tax estimates for you in the upper-right corner so you always know around how much you will

One of the most interesting things I noticed when living is Singapore last year was that a lot of engineers, especially computer programmers, fall under the IT category. There was no sense "software engineer" or "systems admi

I used this for a while but noticed it greatly slowed down my Facebook in general. Ended up uninstalling it after a few days. Wish they had a lighter weight one.

To me it's normal. When I obsess over things I get very little sleep. But to brag about it, to me, is immature. It reminds me of college kids who would brag about waiting last minute to study and pulling all nighters for their tests th

My feedback: 1. No idea what this does, even after logging in and clicking around. 2. It wouldn't load for me at the start/seems VERY slow. Saw some comments about a 5MB file... maybe that is it? 3. "Slack meets github issues

You are correct. I though Bolt == Lockitron Bolt. I did not realize they are two different companies. I will delete the original comment since it is inaccurate.

After a 2+ year shipping delay for a defunct product, this company will never see a penny of my money ever again. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Eerily close to an experience I've had in my career. Nobody is looking out for your career except yoursel and as the company grew, they left you behind, that's that. I'd attribute this to poor management, as you typically wan

If only it was as simple as using personal time and emotion invested as a large part of the equation that determined a softwares value... we would all be rich :)

Yep, this was the comment. It made it sound like the product was in use for a long time and functioning well.

This article is just like all the e-mail updates they send. Long winded excuses with no results. "X is broken, we are trying to fix it so that we live up to our high standard. We are excited to see what is next and will ship soon.&quot

The only reason I bought this initially is because the YC team made a comment like "we've been using this for a while and it's awesome". It made me believe they had already done a lot of testing on the product, and that
