About darksim905

I'm a System Administrator by day, YC Lurker by night. I love learning about startups, startup culture & what motivates people mostly because I can't be bothered to come up with something so awesome & useful as the rest of you. :(

    It sort of helps cancel it out at the time if I'm listening and on a computer. But as soon as that ends, the ringing continues. I can count on one hand the nights I've had restful …

    This page has so many dang scripts and the iframe doesn't do it any favors. I've allowed everything and it still doesn't load. There are far too few specialists that work on tinnit…

    I'm curious as to why that book is so god damn expensive.

    What do they do, _exactly_? Because in the real world out of YC, the rest of us can barely top $200,000 a year unless we move into management or Executive level roles.

    I'm not sure what stops some of these industries from essentially being more nationalist like China, but more centrist as a company like Palantir. If these risks are as big as you …

    Curious seeing as he's in Ukranian, is there also a mindset/distrust of U.S. centric products/services and wanting to feel safe posting updates of whatever it is someone may be doi…

    I was always under the impression Moxie who created Signal was well accepted in Information Security circles. But you bring up a good posit that running a service probably isn't ch…

    - Telegram uses usernames instead of phone numbers by default, which is good if you're using it as an IRC replacement instead of an SMS replacement. --- What? When you register, I'…

    wait ... when was it not sketchy? Did people not know the intentions behind it? Damn, wild. I get that there are some people that may use it as a communication medium for benign pu…

    That sounds horrible. Big yikes. Everyone wants to be Google without putting in the work. They could've just pulled a CapitalOne and used a HireVue assessment to filter people out …

    This isn't really related to the post, but I need to vent I suppose. CoreWeave feels very YC-ish. I thought I had an in as a referral for a position there and got interviewed by so…

    The hardware package is slightly different in PI vs CV along with in some cases a tune. The HP would vary from anywhere from 10 to 20 from Civilian to Police. Generally though, you…

    I fail to see why you couldn't also literally just stack RAM chips themselves on top of each other. If it works for stupid consoles (see NES/Dreamcast/PS1/PS2 hacking of recent), P…
