Nice game! How old is your little brother?

You know, it’s tough. We don’t know this guy’s backstory, but we do live in a society where there are rules. His decision will have personal repercussions. Unfortunately that’s the way things are. And yes, other people steal too but never so much see a fine or jail time, but that’s the way the world works.

N is the sample size that you’ve sampled already in your observation.

If you’ve sampled all the pages, then we are talking about certainty which this wouldn’t apply.

@raiyu, this is excellent and thank you. It’s reassuring to see DO’s leadership come out and explain things.

Thanks for the insight.

Just curious, what are boutique VOIP providers?

And don’t forget to make sure that whatever you name them, the associated domain name eg. firstlastname.com is available.

Working as a web developer, occupational reflex made me do a quick check every time my wife and I came up with a name for our kids.

I do use it on a consistent basis, after my MacBook had keyboard issues in May. I forced myself to create an entire web app on it over the course of 1 month to see how it felt.

Surprisingly, it was quite a pleasure to work with. There are certainly small little quirks that takes some getting used to and some keyboard short cuts that aren’t present from my Mac setup. Nonetheless, WSL is good enough that I would happily recommend it to colleagues.

Unaffiliated with Hatchbox. +1 for the ease of use and reliability.

As a bootstrapper, I see the point of what this article is trying to say. It's been increasingly difficult to create products that can find product market fit/validation and reach a scale where the income justifies the effort. And to top it off, the MVPs are becoming much more full product than simple landing page MVPs of years past -- and all of this requires a lot of capital (time, money, connections, volunteers, etc).

As more entrepreneurs enter the space, competition will only become more fierce. Even selling the tools to the gold rush has become commoditized with the choices available.

What I found interesting in Apple’s earnings is how little money they need to pour into R&D and operating expenses. This leaves a huge retained earnings which has resulted in them having so much cash left over. It’s super easy for Cooke to indulge himself and enter new markets, but he’s an operations guy and it’s nice to see he’s sticking to his core competency. I’d be a bit nervous to see another CEO come along and try to be the next Steve Jobs (with a high chance of failing at that) and burning through billions of dollars.

Wife and I were just talking about this and how this is a great example of how decisions made in one generation can have consequences that span multiple generations (eg. Eggs, where one’s family immigrated to, etc)

Just purely out of curiosity when reading this. It seems like a lot of companies license these specific patents (eg. Twitter, Alphabet) as mentioned in the article. Does anyone know what patents they were referring to?

The guidance is nice. It resets expectation, especially amongst the analyst community. Makes it easier for FB to beat expectations the next time around.

Agreed. There’s definitely a real technical meaning in the word professional. Although the idea of being a “profession” sounds good, it’s riddled with regulation and ways that make the job less likeable for the practitioners. I left one before becoming a software developer.

Nonetheless, being an ethical human being is just a good idea.

There are certainly many definitions of “winning”. I can only speak for myself: quitting my old job lowered my pay, but resulted in my being a lot happier and having more time to spend with my kids. If anything, the current trend and the number of people willing to jump jobs has helped people like myself take the leap into something new — something I might not have done without seeing others do.
