    You should join a startup where generally everyone needs to carry their weight for the company to succeed which creates camaraderie opposite of loneliness.

    They key point that's missing here is that ALL stock trades are on "margin" because in reality it takes 2 days to settle a trade, but that is abstracted away from you by the broker…

    You are taking your personal anecdotes and extrapolating. No one would disagree with you that mental illness and addiction are major factors in homelessness. But your argument is l…

    This is spot on. As a hiring manager for these type of positions, the primary thing I look for is a track record of using data to achieve business results. This of course creates a…

    Yes, and I only feel bad for those who have cancer, and have no food to eat. The employees only have to worry about the mental anguish of suffering through some stupid whiteboard c…

    Why didn't they turn off the engine to stop the vibration? To a layman that would seem safer than having an engine violently shake the wing!

    Personally, I would do whatever you think best sets up your child for success. In my case, it's unfathomable in my family culture to not pay for college for the child if you're fin…

    It's more than people being used to free access. Tolls on a major highway like the 405 would effectively be a regressive tax - people need to get to work and in L.A. there often is…

    This is kind of missing the whole point. Which is, as a developer, you can slip anything into the Apple appstore that you could have slipped into Alexa's, so the point the article …

    We were one of these potential bigger customers willing to fork over thousands per month, but the unit cost was still too expensive for us. We tried to negotiate a better bulk rate…

    The one language to rule them all reasoning is a red herring. We chose nodejs for our server code for an iOS app as do many others. The reason why JS + node is popular is becasue i…

    As soon as you make a game that's able to compete for conversions on ads, your game probably won't be considered indie anymore. Ads are extremely competitive and the only way to co…

    How did you get access to the binaries? I would think the AppStore requires a session and valid purchase in order to download. Or is this analysis based on binaries submitted by yo…

    As a 3rd party without detailed knowledge of the space and each company's position it's hard to say. Here is a possible framework for you tho. Since you are basically asking for co…

    Although I use Netflix all the time, it's in spite of their app. Outside of the "my list" I've curated myself, 98% of the things the Netflix app shows me, I'm not really interested…

    I can get more things done in 60 hours. I'm looking at productivity over the long term. If I work 60 hours/week for a whole year I will accomplish a whole lot more than if I worked…

    Sorry, but I just don't buy this wishful thinking of low hour high productivity. Personally, I probably hit peak productivity around 60 hours although I rarely work for longer than…

    Voice recognition is not in an uncanny valley. Uncanny valley means there is a point where something that is less real is better than something that is more real. Pixar improves th…

    "As the startup, you have all the leverage before you sign a term sheet. Once you sign, you have almost no leverage at all." A breakup fee would help mitigate this. Is that uncommo…
