I thought it was because Umbrella corp was taken

I wish it was my lack of marketing and business skills, that way there would be more room for others to succeed. While I'm not claiming to be a marketing guru, I am successful in b…

None of the ideas you present are new to me. I've tried them all. I have many friends in the space who have tried them all as well. If anything worked we'd be the first to know. "I…

People will complain about the code of conduct and again about their banning upon breaking a code of conduct. Managing a community takes a lot of time for something you're not gett…

For general purpose programming I consider the meta languages (ML) to be great. E.g. Rust, Typescript, Swift, Scala, F#, Haskell, Ocaml etc. Something like Hindly-Milner typesystem…

I personally use Vim and Tmux for my IDE. But I build tools for people who aren't me and they need tools specialized for their job. Even general purpose devs can benefit from bette…

I think the point I was alluding to is that the market should be much bigger than it is. And it would be great if open source contributors could make money from their work.

As you point out, sufficiently good. But not great. I agree that the world is a better place with open source. I simply wish there was a culture were developers opened their wallet…

Python, PHP, and Ruby are not great languages. Google, Facebook, and Twitter are successful inspite of them. I'm not saying open source is bad, I'm saying Dev culture in not paying…

Not getting paid for open source is how the world works. If you do any of the above you invite yourself to so much criticism that it's not worth it. I have first hand experience of…

Why would SV clash with Trump on this? This seems like a sensible solution to the problem and one I've seen posted multiple times here on HN.

This brings back nightmares I had from working at Microsoft (2009). As a PM; responsibility without authority was the job description. Hallway estimates and schedule chicken was 70…

Could be a hypercritical hypocrite. It's a common cooccurrence.

China is an economic house of cards. The best course of action is just to wait it out.

An aside; I recently found out about the Nipster movement, Nazi Hipsters. Be afraid be very afraid

Not a fan of Trump but this is a good thing. See this exert from John Oliver on the effect of such trade deals; https://youtu.be/6UsHHOCH4q8 And that's the existing trade deals, TP…

I look forward to seeing the parody in HBOs Silicon Valley

It mixes a virtual world with the real world; thus augmenting the real world. I would argue that a fine grain occlusion (individual pixels) vs coarse grain (movable display) isn't …

Founders can pull money out in later rounds and pocket a lot of cash. E.g. The Secret founders.

Wow that TED talk really explains everything. I get it now.

I'd hazard a bet that augmented reality already peaked with Pokémon Go.

You're correct. I read the principal incorrectly. The Peter principal requires that a person is competent before being promoted. The Dilbert principle doesn't apply either as manag…

I never said they were alternatives. I specifically referred to federations of democracies where power is shared between state and federal government.

I figured one counter example was sufficient. Thanks for adding to the list
