So... just like Upwork is providing an opportunity to 'developer entrepreneurs' who want to code but not handle the other aspects of contract work? Usually platforms like this are rigged so nobody comes out on top…
I tried freelance and realized I hate it more than any other type of programming work. I can tolerate being an employee where I do what I'm told. After a month I get a feel for the environment so it becomes low stress…
The gains from GM crops are a lie[1] - most GM crops are made so agri-chemical companies can sell more pesticide for pesticide-resistant crops. Overuse of pesticides is killing all the insects and ruining soil…
What if they’ve already profiled that person and they are in jail already? I think the worry with this new form of authoritarianism is that it will be so good no one will have the chance to stop it.
The US healthcare system is the only system in the world that bankrupts people for receiving medical care. We constantly hear how we’re getting charged many times more than other countries for the same health services.…
Have you ever heard the story of Darth Wordpressius? I thought not. It's not a story the HN Council would upvote.
You can be ambitious and still hate everything to do with career tracks and personal development as seen by large corporations. I make sure I work somewhere that isn't too stressful, and pace myself as much as possible…
I wonder what the success rate is for their retraining program to turn factory workers into coders. When watching Andrew Yang's Presidential pitch for UBI he said most government retraining programs only have a success…
Watch some videos of Andrew Yang explain his plan for UBI and how it could work in America. He's the only Presidential candidate that is providing pragmatic solutions to handle a rapidly changing economy.
It's completely dependent on the traffic of the site if a spammer takes the time to break a custom captcha. I work on a site with 10 million monthly pageviews and spammers register on a form that has recaptcha and email…
I have a membership to Novel Coworking. The space is awesome and the membership costs a fraction of WeWork. I think it's because Novel actually owns the spaces they lease out so they can lower costs while still…
Startup logic... anyone can take on Google or Amazon if their ideas are innovative and good enough.
History remembers the winners - so even though I actually agree with what you're saying about US government economic warfare, the end result was the Venezuelan government turned to shit. It's become oppressive, their…
I wonder if an entrepreneur with less connections and not a part of YC would get that $1 buyout deal. I would think the default would be ousting the founder and selling the assets. Then the founder would be left with…
40 hrs/wk at dayjob, about 20-25 hrs/wk at coworking space working on my startup. I used to only do 12 hrs a week at the coworking space, but what changed for me was I started taking 3 hr naps after my 9-5. So I nap…
No it's not. Right on the homepage they say it can be used for marketing emails including newsletters: https://aws.amazon.com/ses/ If someone has different info let me know... we're migrating off Mailchimp and already…
I'm in a very similar position and since I also suck at sales I choose B2C over B2B. Selling to businesses directly is hard. Why not first sell to consumers, then have an "enterprise version" if it catches on? So for…
YES - I hate Google, their AMP team, or anyone else trying to tell us how to "fix" the web. It used to be innocuous when Google had 20% browser market share, but now they act like they own how users should experience…
I agree in general weather and climate are different. But concerning the polar vortex - the jet stream has become more wavy (north & south instead of west & east) due to climate change. That's why we get -20F a couple…
Since you have options why don't you quit what you're doing, leave the place that you're living, and focus 100% on fixing your quality of life? There are no "right choices." If you take some risks, then maybe one of…
I think a lot of people in this thread are underestimating the possibility of safety drivers going remote and how that could be a solution to these edge cases. When making decisions or coming across strange situations…
That's expensive if you don't watch much TV. I just watch sci-fi shows and wish I could put my money just towards those types of shows. My perfect subscription would be a mix, where I pay a small fee per month but can…
Over the last couple years Google has acted like a dictator on the web. No more autoplay... except if you're Youtube, or these 100 approved sites. If you use Chrome... oh now you're auto signed in. You opt out of…
I think the acronym Google always misses out on is KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) because no one there is "stupid." If you only hire geniuses, no one wants to write documentation or do things the boring/easy way that…
Because violating copyright laws could get him sued and jeopardize his startup?
