Everybody loves to hate BendingSpoon, but there is a lesson here. They consistently rewrite the code of their acquisitions with a tiny team, fire everybody and are able to maintain…

These stats don't account for the much more common case of people that start renting a house and stop paying the rent indefinitely because technically it doesn't fit the definition…

I don't see how they can continue the service, even with huge localisation effort. The capital sin is to be a US company. That subjects them to US law, including CLOUD act, which t…

Hi krono, can you provide an example of a search where you want something different? My guess is that this issue was already there with previous generations of the search engine, a…

Justin’s first startup was Kiko calendar. Google launched Calendar and it died, they auctioned it and got 250K. Then started Justin.tv, and it led to Twitch and Socialcam. It takes…

We use it in Freepik, Flaticon and Slidesgo. It has a good performance and I find the source code easy to read / understand. It lacks some features from Elasticsearch, like CJK tok…

The data in memory in that server is not encrypted. Amazon owning the server can log in it and read whatever part of the memory they want. I don't see how encrypting data at rest h…

Why are then things like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, … legal? Are they? I assume Amazon can access data stored in any of their servers, right?

Excellent question… we don’t have a separate subscription for StorySet, but you can download all these illustrations in Freepik.com without attributing if you subscribe to Freepik.…

Shameless plug, we have a good set of illustrations on https://www.storyset.com/ . The big difference is StorySet illustrations can be animated and the styles are different. Both p…

IIRC we posted an internship. He was doing vocational training and applied. He didn't have any previous experience, but he was good on the interview. After the internship we hired …

Thank you! My partner Alejandro Sánchez is actually who got the idea of Flaticon, and Fernando Fernández did most of the initial implementation. When we hired Fernando he was flipp…

The difference is that nginx really works. I had Panoramio, a photo website featured in Google Earth / Maps, using Apache. It started to fail down under load, and I quickly switche…

I don't think this was the right thing to do for end users. The largest perceived element on the page is still the map on the right, and it takes as much time to load as before the…

you definitely have to add the relevant VAT, depending on your customer country, declare it in MOSS where it will be sent to every individual country. You also have to check if you…

Thank you for the feedback. Some people want to use the premium icons (as they are more exclusive), and they obviously help to keep the lights on, but I disagree with your point on…

We (Flaticon) tried that years ago. Very quickly got a letter from their lawyer pointing out that a) that was a violation of their ToS (right) and b) they have a sui generis databa…

Hi, I would love to know what's so annoying in Flaticon. User feedback is always appreciated :) (co-founder here)

Paddle.com does that. At least in theory, I'm (not yet) a customer and haven't tried it by myself.

I got exactly the same reaction. I feel lucky to be in a field so young that many of the "founding fathers" are still alive.

A subtle disadvantage of the Pro Rata model is that content creators in the platform can trivially exploit it. If a content creator subscribes to Spotify as a user and streams non-…

In Madrid many people were turned away from hospitals. I know personally people that could not get into the hospital with a double pneumonia and were told to call an ambulance if t…
