Yes, because revealed preferences are different. Meta's properties (for example) have billions of users for a reason (me included). Some people are prone to feeling bad irrespectiv…

I think you should talk to some real life teenagers to see how hysterical this impression is.

This is a manufactured impression by people who don’t understand these systems and the reality around them. Yes I would have played video games all day as a kid but I had a functio…

It’s not mutually exclusive. If you interact with kids today you’ll see that they do both, just like I did with video games and in-person meeting. They’re still human beings.

I agree about being outsiders. Social media (if this is even a well-defined term) is just how people communicate these days. No need for hysteria and banning (I was on Slashdot in …

Socialising. Same benefit I drew from playing video games with my friends when I was in school. (Though, to be a bit pedantic about it, kids don't use Facebook.)

I know many parents who manage this fine, I don't see why you can't: 1. You control whether your child has a phone and how much they are allowed to use it (Apple provides all sorts…

No, there is a difference. Burglary involves coercion. The choice to shop at small/big bakeries is yours alone; no one is forcing you to pick one.

This is a common rite of passage for early-stage startups :) The answer may sound glib but I don't mean it as such: don't have an unlimited plan and migrate existing customers off …

At the end of the day it's just a VC's view. This doesn't count for much. You two can easily tell him no thanks and move on.

Some arguments here from a bygone era (none are convincing to me): https://hbr.org/2016/02/the-very-first-mistake-most-startup-... . We have the same model as you at the company I …

At least amongst Bay Area startups at your stage, a 50/50 split is common. It has its advocates (YC amongst them) and detractors. Given how common this is, it's peculiar that this …

Sorry, my fault for being unclear. Meaning, sometimes people set up one-way syncs only. Our syncs don't have to be two-way.

That's no problem for us. We'll just resume where we left off when it comes back on.

(Polytomic co-founder) Haha! I’ve been in this market for over ten years now. The term ‘CDP’ is notoriously ill-defined. More generally, we move data in all directions, rETL is jus…
