Hi all, I am preparing to start my next venture this time I am thinking about not being the CEO myself, but instead contracting that position out. I imagine the CEO I want to hire …

I'm not looking for the next big thing, but just one thing that is very early right now (so it is still fun to engage with people), but is rising rapidly (so it has societal releva…

I agree with your initial idea, but you lost me at "hourly rate". I think doing fixed prices for fixed scopes allows any agency to scale up to a certain point. (Instead of disincen…

The wording of a video title is determined by the rules of copywriting. You try to maximize clicks and gain virality. There is no correlation to the quality of the content. In term…

For some guidance on successful bootstrapping, I would suggest to look into Alex Hormozi (Youtube, Podcast).

So if I understood you correctly then further lowering the cost of experimentally determining protein targets could be a viable way forward that is completely orthogonal to computa…

Can you provide a list of the top problems in that space? Much rather try to understand them deeply myself and build a company solving them than just getting a job.

That is not specific to AI and we commonly do not think of it as problem. We call it visionary leadership.

Software-engineers are pampered to expect a result a few seconds after hitting "Compile" or "Run" respectively. What are some processes in bio-engineering where the feedback loop b…

In refusing to accept that any contribution you make to society is in fact a business, you will be doomed to build a bad business. You will talk about the emotional turmoil a featu…

This was a very interesting connection between headline and content. Based on the headline I assumed an article about entrepreneurship and tech. Even the first paragraph seemed to …

There is currently an Energy crisis going on in Europe. How would you solve it without developing any new technologies and without making any changes to existing governmental polic…

As founder and main developer of a product, I feel that both the first suggestion of an aqui-hire and the second suggestion of getting a regular job at MSFT are completely ludicrou…

Taking a high-velocity ride in a cage of aluminum? I don't want to engage with that at all. I am so surprised that safety measures such as airbags and seat belts are discussed. Obv…

Freelance software development and use an AI generated photo of a person in their mid 30s.

Gonna challenge the last part. You can probably make billions with disaster recovery, but I doubt that you can make anything with disaster prevention.

Not sure whether I understand your attack scenario: If the database itself has an exploit to bypass the append-only functionality: All is lost, agree. But if some of the hosts are …

Sure, but that applies to any kind of malware and is orthogonal to the actual question of ransomware. Fixing the vulnerability is more often than not simply an update of the vulner…

From my understanding you only need two countermeasures (i) an append-only database (no mutable data) to store everything business critical and (ii) use virtualization on all clien…

I feel jumping right into __init_subclass__ without explaining why metaclasses exist and what problems they typically solve excludes the majority of devs on HN. Thereby limiting an…

How do you handle something highly noise sensitive like baby crying in another room while being on a Zoom call?

For some. For others it isn't.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you do extra-preparation on the extra room that is now available to you? E.g. foaming walls or door to have the same level of …

So basically there was no dedicated room inside the house for WFH before? When you use your shed, what are the aspects that you came to value? E.g. is it more about the feeling of …

Was it more about the building process for you or more about the usage afterwards?
