Agree on getting tax advice. But because QSBS is such a gift to VCs I really don’t want to jeopardize it particularly when a bunch of startups are raising $20m on $0 revenue, so th…

Isn't the issue of products like this that they present PHC risk, jeopardize QSBS - particularly at the earliest stages where revenue is de minimis?

Surely this is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of German’s agglutinative nature and come up with your own? Handyschwelle? Or more formally: Mobiltelefonbremsschwelle?

Glass hearted is a Chinese insult meaning you are weak minded and/or easily offended. Pinkie is a term used to describe young pro-China online posters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w…

Respectfully, I have to disagree. I have a similar setup to the one in the article (Sony A6400 + Simga 30mm f1.4) and the difference in image quality is dramatic _even over Zoom_. …

The article states another benefit of the motor is that it doesn’t require rare earth elements, so presumably they’re trying to solve the ecological and supply problems presented b…

As an SF resident for at least as long as the author I can sympathize with a lot of the sentiment but I'm skeptical about the some kind of renaissance when the city's budget is det…

> The floor of the wealth tax doesn't really refute the central argument, because it just means that it impacts anyone who owns a business worth over $50 million. This is a LOT of …

I'm not a fan of this proposal but I think this line of argument is pretty flimsy and pretty specious. In the Bay Area you're already subject to a form of wealth tax called propert…

I can also recommend MagicSandbox ( https://www.msb.com/ ) which provides a lot of learning content alongside a real k8s remote environment.

Isn’t this the developer’s or Go’s security issue first before it’s a GH facepalm? GH doesn’t make any representations about the provenance or the safety of the code on their site.…

Disney has a very, very large catalogue of content but is particularly strong on kid's content. It will be very high up on the list for the average household, and a lot of consumer…

>> The company has about 230 employees, up from around 140 at the beginning of the year. Huffman would like to end 2017 with around 300 full-time staff. > That sounds odd too me as…

There are plenty of examples of individual companies (or groups of companies) getting too much monopolistic (or oligopolistic) power and doing just that or similar. You could look …

No it's not, it's really not. In fact I think in a niche market then it's often even more true. If you're building in a niche then (almost by definition) you're not going to need a…

I disagree with this wholeheartedly and just posted why above but wanted to reiterate it here. This might just have been a throw-away comment but "bloat", lock-in & cost are red-he…

Reading a lot of these comments make me think that everyone on HN is a cynic of the Oscar Wilde/Lady Windermere variety: "A man who knows the price of everything and the value of n…

One of the interesting things from the slide shown in the article is that they're extracting the azimuth and elevation of roof based satellite dishes from aerial imagery presumably…

Wow, those are some pretty outrageous allegations if true: > Defendant Shervin Pishevar, who was generally uninvolved in > day-to-day matters, began dating the company’s PR vendor,…

This is really wrong thinking and a good example of misunderstanding unit economics. You're calculating the unit economics of a delivery assuming there's only one "unit". You have …

This is probably wrong. IMHO what looks like has happened is there are a handful of HN-relevant companies had weak earning announcements yesterday[1] after market close, and that i…

Likewise, Lenny & Scott Raney @ Redpoint have been making a ton of investments in this space. Looking forward to seeing more.
