    This is a tough one because I've been there. I have worked for orgs that don't align with my values, but when you're in there you aren't thinking that you are contributing to the a…

    Unlike chess or Go, where both players see the entire board, poker involves hidden information, your opponents’ hole cards. This makes it an incomplete-information game, which is f…

    I agree with most of this except the overcommunicating part. If you're setting the right expectations, overcommunicating may be mistaken for micromanaging. Managers are judged by o…

    This reminded me of an old app that would scan the MAC addresses of devices already connected to a paid WiFi network. You would then just change your MAC to one that already paid f…

    This needs to be a model for other states to follow. Too often, incarcerated people are left with very few real options to have a viable career beyond some sort of physical trade l…

    While I agree with some of the statements made in the article, I don't think everything is doom and gloom. There is still a place for early-stage VC for founders looking to scale. …

    I'm feeling a little bit of buyer's remorse for that same reason. I love my Canon, but having a closed loop lens system is not ideal and is insanely pricey. All of the "adapters" t…

    It'll be interesting to see how much the other social media platforms work to replicate the TikTok model if this ban ends up being permanent.

    Thank you for building something like this. Financial modeling can be daunting, but I think it's the most important tool for entrepreneurs to have in order to understand how best t…

    We took our startup through Techstars in 2016. The next year they took a very similar company that ended up getting more funding and attention. We didn't understand it at first, bu…

    I joined the Navy in 94 (got out in 98). Reading these comments is giving me PTSD. I still had to mail letters and remember my calling card number to make calls when I got into por…

    I was just looking through everything and didn't see much when it came to scale. Having been the founder of a devtool platform in the past, one common question we had was what woul…

    Security clearances should take a long time because the risk of information being leaked is so high. Not sure I'm aligned here with Palantir or Steve Blank that the process needs t…
