Why did it take so long? Seems like an obvious thing in hindsight?

Are there any opensource apps that I can connect to San Jose public library? I have some features in mind, like sending a notification asking me to read a certain page at certain t…

>>So we got it: we will use live game streaming to help kids learn science. We launched our MVP and saw phenomenal results. Ahem, phenomenal results for yourselves. But what did ki…

Thanks. I will make sure to pay him a small amount.

Thanks. I have no promises to make beyond telling him he will develop relevant job skills. If he doesnt like it after a month or so, he can happily walk away without loosing any mo…

Thanks. Thats an interesting perspective. How do distinguish between a guy volunteering vs me finding a guy willing to come and work with me? Is the latter what you call an interns…

True but I want to be bit more ethical than saying noone is forcing him. I dont want to take "advantage" of his situation.

Thanks for the perspective. Exactly like you said, tasks I assign are menial/entry level and make no monetary returns for me, but will be really helpful to the intern.

Hours will be mutually determined but a minimum number of hours a week will help in getting out something tangible. As per academic credit, it is a great point. Thx

All good points. Why do you want to work here is just a dumb question for this purpose. It basically forces me to lie and say you guys sound awesome instead of just saying your com…

Yes, sometimes it's possible. Sometime ago, I had considered doing it because I could not think like a marketing person. So, I told a struggling startup founder that I will do grun…

Didn't Linus apologize sometime ago for talking like he talked on this list. Personally, I agree with what he says, but I dont like the tone.

Spouse is QA in apple. Lots of manual testing going on. Just getting started on automation

Is there a site where I can practice relatively simple css challenges. For example for this html, center the text and align text in all three boxes, etc. Css battle is great but th…

Congrats on launching. But how is this different from frontendmentor? I have some feedback. Given that other sites are giving exact same service, this is not of much use to me. How…

Agreed. But I was talking from perspective of being a passive business for a single person

Thanks. This is great insight and one that is missing from most online discussions. I am really terrified of this situation because it will bring down my ROI. Also, I dont like to …

Got it. Thx

My tax advisor said that for our income levels, it will not decrease or increase any tax brackets.

Over the years, I got cold feet and paid off somenof the principal. Thats why I said overall I spent $350k so far

That's my fear. But can you tell me in what situations I cannot evict my tenants. (Honest question).
