Guilded (YC S17) | Full Stack Engineer | Remote-First Team https://www.guilded.gg/jobs/full_stack_engineer Guilded is hiring senior full-stack software engineers to connect the wor…

It is odd, but not as ridiculous as it sounds. For one, many companies couldn't issue 10s of billions in debt so you do have access to that much capital (normally at reasonable cos…

That's some nerdy click-bait there.

Yellow journalism is a politicized issue in 2016.

I thought most ad blocking right now depends on the fact that ads are served from different locations than the sites themselves. You can try to block native ads being served by the…

Wow, this is really cool.

It's not giving shares, it's a share exchange. Again I'm not an expert, but I've seen these types of arrangements before and somehow they got reasonable tax treatment because they …

I actually disagree with the 10yr time frame (although will admit it has its merits), but also agree with some of your logic. I just think that the 10yr "fix" solves some problems …

I'd be kind of surprised if mutual funds were doing much investing in this kind of ETF. Look at the shares outstanding of FXE, FXA, FXB (currency etfs for euro, australian dollar a…

This won't be the dumbest ETF, it will be a less than ideal way of holding bitcoin. There are lots of ETFs that make it easy to get access to an asset class and get the full econom…

Comment below was correct. Sorry, I thought it wouldn't be confusing because it was in comment I replied to. My bad.

Well to be fair, those were Michael Lewis's second hand telling. I personally know the author of FB:NSF, but haven't spoken to him in a while. I think I agreed with 95% of what he …

I'm pretty sure this is quite old. I remember the exact same graphics from something I played with at least 12 years ago (I think it might have actually been in like 2001 or 2002, …

I've thought about hacking a calendar app for myself before. My pain points seemed very different. My main thing was being able to manage recurring events in a way that wasn't awfu…

I don't think companies really don't want employees that think independently. These employees come with a ton of upside. However, not everybody turns out to be a star and in some c…

I'm a national master chess player and I think the opposite. In middle games heuristics are more important because even the final positions in your calculations will often still be…

There's a funny story I read a while back about this play. If you did this for long enough eventually you'd be the biggest company in the S&P 500 (technically maybe not, but in pra…

Sorry, I thought the smiley face would've been enough to give away the sarcasm. For some reason the /s felt like it removed the infinitesimal amount of comedy from my post.

But phones don't have a microphone on them do they? :-)

Maybe could be used they hand labeled each movie? Seems easier to do as a whole.

Maybe Google or other bigco could buy out of bankruptcy? Is there too much tail liability from some copyright infringement??

I think the reason rent-seeking is less of an issue in the sky (although I don't have any opinion about viability) compared to the ground is that the earth is not flat / smooth (al…
