    I believe this is extremely unexpected behavior for an "auto-renew" feature. If I'm told that I will be autorenwing something in 7 days and am told about a price, that price changi…

    I believe you’re incorrect. When I google that phrase it’s from an “Affinity Ventures” which is unrelated. Affineur Ventures seems to just be a cheese themed container (hence ricot…

    What you’re saying about the motivations of candidate sourcing is not reflected in my experience as a startup ceo or an engineer at a large tech company.

    I don’t think the value prop of TripleByte to busy CEOs is “you get employees cheaper”, if anything it’s going to cost more than other sources of talent that don’t take a cut of sa…

    > For me, for example, the fact that those positions can be matched up to me on TripleByte would literally make me reject those jobs. That seems shortsighted. If I was running a st…

    WhatsApp was bringing in 10M in revenues[1] a year with the .99cent fee. Not selling it wouldn’t have made them billionaires, but it’s certainly fuck you money for a team of 8. [1]…

    I remember meeting you that day, it was a very surreal start to our summer in Silicon Valley. I'm really happy to hear you're doing well in the space! Building a profitable company…

    Alas, it’s in the future tense. We can’t take credit for the current security offerings - it was the work of our soon-to-be coworkers at GitHub.

    If you're applying to non-public companies where the stock isn't liquid, it's very hard to compare different packages across companies. Benefits are another story, and I'd love to …

    If you're talking about the triplebyte data ( https://triplebyte.com/software-engineer-salary ), Buffer's SF salaries seem comparable.

    If you own an ad, you can "publish" to change the link or image url any time you want. All it costs is the transaction fees.

    The images are actually hosted over http (or ipfs or swarm). The former requires you to find a host, and the later two have ways of compensating for traffic :)

    Not exactly. There's an NSFW flag that causes our DApp to not display the ads by default. We (Andrey and I) are able to force the flag true to ads at our discretion.

    You pay for gas when you send a transaction (i.e. buy an ad or publish an ad). For displaying, if you browse with Mist or MetaMask, you're pulling the data from the blockchain. Whe…

    We actually support IPFS (and Swarm) for hosting images!

    You don't need a plugin to view the DApp. If you log in without one you'll see a version pulled from a gateway. In order to interact with the DApp (buy or publish an ad), you can u…

    >As someone who several years ago "managed" to take over a publicly traded company ... That sounds like an interesting story! Have you told it elsewhere?
