I hope so, one of the most annoying leaks in my personal finance workflow is that I have to use a specific site to bridge between USD and USDC - if I could just send USDC directly …

congrats on the launch dex! this is a problem that i've already seen come up a dozen times and many companies are building it internally in a variety of different ways. easier to b…

I'm trying a productized service model for devops (pylonops.com) and working on a community platform for moms with my wife (no URL yet, but soon!)

On pro-rata basis most of these secondary liquidity events as apart of raises are not "retirement" level of liquidity - it's just "safety net" level of liquidity. So I think they w…

I'll give you nice-guy points for turning it down - that's a very principled position to take when that much money is sitting in front of you and all you have to do is say "yes" I …

I had no intention of posting this to HN (someone I don't know posted it!) and also didn't expect more than the 10 people I shared it with to actually read it - no vote bait intend…

I'm glad I waited for the dust to settle on the battlefield before taking a look at the comments - agreed, super entertaining! haha

I'd be asking the same question, it's a fair criticism. I wrote this expecting 10 people to read it and I wrote it as a part of a writer's feedback group. I'm just a random guy who…

I could not agree more - I still have no idea why 90 days is the standard. It also exploits people who are ignorant about equity compensation more than people who are not - which I…

I don't know if I agree - but I'm open to being wrong. I can't recall many scenarios where I thought someone was a strong fit at 3 months but a terrible fit at 12 months. I can pro…

We allow early-exercise too but I (possibly, incorrectly) assumed that this was the standard for newly incorporated startups - at least within the last 2-3 years it has become sign…

I was being generous - if there are 3 cofounders and you let one of your early employees get in the 2-3% range - it might be closer to 10x - but you're right that the majority of t…

Thank you for letting me know about this - I searched for other tender offers or liquidity for employees of WeWork and couldn't find anything (and the 2 former WeWork employees I k…

This is the reason I didn't check the comments until a couple of days later - I didn't expect anyone to read this and I also figured everyone would be pissed haha - the response is…

I've noticed that too, especially in the gi compared to boxing. Lots more doctors / lawyers / engineers training in the gi. I think it's because we're all weak and need the grips t…

/r/bjj is my favorite, it has the perfect balance of extremely useful discussion and knowledge sharing along with some percentage of shitposting to keep it interesting.

I am going to finally read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.

I still don't see where the savings of time come in. What you lose in "ops" you gain in configuration and assuming you don't have eidetic memory that has a time cost.

that's why I said "or non obvious" I'm not totally sold on this saving time but I guess it could be argued depending on the expertise of the developer

ah I see, yikes. I agree with you. this is optimizing for some non existent problem (or at least a non obvious problem)

How do you go directly from client to database with nothing in the middle while being unable to trust the client?

this was my realization too when I first started hearing about IF several years back.. "I do this already, but on accident" I have never eaten breakfast in my adult life. I eat onc…

I didn't know this, thank you for mentioning it. I shop at Kroger pretty often and have never considered buying cheese or charcuterie there since it seemed like it might be bad, gu…

According to their on-boarding questionnaire $25,000USD

Also from Houston. Giving distances is almost meaningless in this city 2.8 miles away could be 20 minutes or it could be 3 minutes, so time is really the only accurate measure.
