In Hindi, Chota means short. Apologies to South Americans.
This is the problem I had in mind when building https://chota.link. I have seen too many broken previews. This little app lets you create short link and specify metatags. Try this short link on LinkedIn: https://chota.link/jVZ2Hd. I tested it and seems to be working.
Sure, I'll look into it and update this! Thx.
I am familiar with notion but not sure what you mean...
What this has scammy popups when browsing on a phone?

Thanks, that's what I meant.
I didn't mean it is a racist town. The population of the town is 18,742 and from years of living in Alberta, I don't think I'd find people with similar taste or interest in activities or topics I'm interested in.
As a human of color, don't think I could live in this town but maybe team is really fun. Interesting to see a Camrose here! I've driven by numerous times. Feel free to ask any questions about Alberta.
1Password is slowly starting their enterprise game. All employees were offered 'free' 1Password accounts last week for entire family as long as I'm with my current company.

How would AI solve / detect this anomaly? I am curious.

How do you interpret these licensing terms:

If Mihir has all rights reserved, what's the purpose of adding MIT with it?

This made my eyes wet.
Now this is something that AI should help with.
> My wife tells me that growing up in India.

She's correct. This still exists in smaller cities. I did this with all my books when I went last time.

Might as well try living a day without water.

Yup, that's what I came to add. Have seen it too many times here.
I guess Jeff Bezos still need to learn few things from Jack Ma. Would be cool to read the inside stories.
When are they doing ICO!?

Or you can just use a monthly reminder in Google Calendar. Update this reminder with all the rejections you receive.

What industry isn't?

Yahoo CEO had fake credentials: http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/13/technology/yahoo-CEO-out/ind... He lied and accepted a salary. In my world, I define that as stealing.

Equifax CEO Richard Smith will collect 90M http://fortune.com/2017/09/26/equifax-ceo-richard-smith-net-... What a convenient time to retire.

Questionable morals of Uber CEO https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-ceo/uber-ceo-travis-...

And numerous other examples. Bad people are everywhere. Cryptocurrency is a new realm that combines tech with the economy at a different level and currently, it is like a big experiment. It might be an expensive experiment but the learnings are for sure gonna change the face of the internet.

> when coupled with search history.

Why is this ok?

Why is it useful to a company unless Google provides "value add" features that are better than thousands of other services for hiring.
Even without reading the article, this is what I came to add. Now they have a service of this nature, the need and urgency of saying goodbye to Google has increased tremedously.

What happened to mySpace? something better came and made it obsolete.

So we are discussing dApps on a platform that talks about making unicorns. Yes most ICOs are pump-and-dump at this stage but if similar study is done for unicorns valuation, we are going to find many examples of campanies that are 100x more valued. It is true that some people would be burned by ICOs sooner or later but that's what fair markets are for. I see this as process that democratizes ycombinator like companies. Eventually the process will be mature enough that the 'value' that yc or 'angels' provide would be available to more and more companies and angels replaced with everyday people.
