I feel for you man. Same stuff is happening in IoT.

Exactly. We got a mail from our car insurance provider saying they did not receive payment and asked to send the payment to some random address. This could be social engineering or it could be genuine. We are careful so we will contact the

I am sad to see these negative events as someone who was in the openstack community. But I think a lot of folks knew such stuff was going to happen. I think the mistakes made were: 1) the so-called big tent approach 2) too much complexity 3

I'm glad your algorithm class covered this. Mine did not. It surely covered some other obscure material that you don't know. You are missing the point. If we had a standard CS curriculum, you can fault people for missing out on st

Hmm .. Mountain View is an interesting example. The area near whishman park has no grocery stores or restaurants. I ran into an old timer in an Uber recently and he mentioned people did some of this zoning on purpose .. I.e. the need for a

You know .. this is a quirky but interesting idea. PG started YC because of his experiences/challenges as a tech founder. Maybe someone can address this niche. Obviously, the funding terms would be different. There are legal issues hav

Does the teleportation happen at the speed of light? Was inspired by Regetti's Startup School talk and have almost zero background :p

I'm a SW guy .. been mulling getting a job in hw at some point. I watch a lot of YouTube and do hw projects in my spare time. Is there something like sw boot camps for developing hw skills? I'm almost considering getting an ee bac

QQ .. this might be a naive question so please excuse my ignorance ... why did you not go with vanilla websockets as the protocol? I am a big fan of Elixir and would love to use it and Phoenix for work .. coworkers just get the heebeejeebee

My last interview at Google .. the interviewer behaved like a prick. His attitude was .. oh .. u have a PhD ... let me show you how much smarter I am than you. This was very clear from the first 2 minutes of the interview. What is funny is

Does this thing work on Windows 10 home edition? That doesn't have hyperv I think.

I was thinking 1 on 1 tutoring. There are already a lot of video resources out there. I wouldn't mind 30-50 bucks an hour for a consultation. Sort of like a fitness trainer for my electronics hobby.

Thanks for posting details about your experience. I'm a software person learning about hw/FPGAs. These kinds of resources are invaluable! P.s. it says you are a student. If you want to earn a side income giving virtual classes on

What thinkpad would u get today? I looked into the T460 but (a) they seem to have many variants within the same model and (b) I saw too many negative reviews online.

The headline seems a bit click-baity. It seems to merely add some suggested guidelines to how this is done.

450K for a house seems cheap. In the GTA, you won't even get a townhouse for that much. A townhome (with monthly fees) probably goes for over 650K :'( I don't understand it.

I don't get the tracker bug. Seems like it was fundamental to the game. Now, the Pokemon you catch is somewhat random :(

I'm in the Bay area and a hardware hobbyist (software is my full time gig). I see tons of meetups for SW but almost nothing for electronics hardware. Any recommendations?

This seems to be a non-issue IMHO. If they try to attract foreigners ala Startup Chile, they could fill these things up in weeks. If 40% occupied innovation centers is the biggest thing wrong with China, they aren't in bad shape. Btw .

Heh .. I guess the first week of grad school knocked out any illusion that I was the smartest anything. But touche.

The margin is larger IMHO. I'm a professional scientist and I have no one remotely resembling an academic in my extended family. Now I'm not a textbook example of success but I've read about many other scientists in similar b

Not if you live in the Bay area. Definitely not if you have to support a family.
