He's the REAL Steve Jobs

I'd really hate to be in the same space as amazon.

when you are dealing with a small project notepad++ might be fine but large codebase and frontend development it would be counter productive to not use IDE

The 'complexity of IDE' is overrated. Once you've memorized the hot keys, it makes a world of difference, running grep to find a piece of code you don't remember hidden under layers of inheritence. You are setting up for failure if you act like a luddite.

Way too late

I took martial arts as a kid, taekwondo, hapkido, karate. I loved knowing my limits thats what martial arts teaches you, your physical limits and it lets you stay out of fights unless absolutely necessary.

More over I loved the discipline, and a strong sense of inner confidence. The stress release. I find martial arts is more about meditation and practicing control over yourself.

As for practicality, you are better off learning something that special forces developed for hand to hand combat.

Out of all martial arts I'd say taekwondo if mastered is the most lethal because the leg is the most powerful muscle, perfect for women as they have much more lethal leg muscle than men.

My instructor practiced it since he was a kid and went to a special university where they practice TKD day and night. His control over space and footwork was WTF grade. Even when a group of black belts tried to spar him, the non stop array of fakes and quick turn kicks knocked somebody out.

The most practical form of hand to hand combat is practiced by special forces

I would never be caught with an Apple product built on the backs of millions of Chinese children and women in horrible and tyrannical working conditions.

If this turns out to be the same case I will also denounce and boycott it.

it looks like a copy of macbook, and I love microsoft for that, actually might buy this because of that fact.

the tablet laptop thing is a must if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer. Unfortunately, sometimes you need a keyboard to answer emails and get stuff done.

he seems like he doesnt know whats going to happen next, just like everyone else.

How does EFF get it's funding? I feel like they should be given more credit for what they are doing.

I have to say that for Facebook as well. When the IPFS picks up, we'll have a distributed clone of twitter and facebook that runs on such architecture.

There would be no desire or need for advertisement or money making or tracking people when there are no owners, no benefactors but the people using it.

The end is nigh for traditional SV unicorns that offer no barrier to entry in a distributed and anonymous internet.

What if you created a website that no matter how hard you try, you can never make enough money to justify it's insane valuation? You hire the guy that created it. If that fails years down the road, hire a blonde.

Up to $10,000 per month, that's $120K of FREE Azure cloud services for 1 year

WHAT THE HECK! how did I not know about this. omg, how do I sign up?

I've always questioned the logic of mass murdering innocent civilians to get them to vote their current leader out.

curious, why Azure?

commenting on this quote from the article: "‘I’m 29. This is what you do when you’re 29"

I don't know what the fuck is it with this wall street culture. I find SV culture banal and disgusting but no where close to the shit show that is the wall street glamorized by movies and tv shows.

I would've done the same and I have done the same when I was 25. Working like crazy. You realize one day, this is bullshit. Everyone in this shitty place is fucking bullshit. A check at the end of the fucking month that translates into a measely minimum wage if you count the long hours and the office male bravado bullshit. High school never ends.

It's only after I was chewed and spit out, I realized, no amount of glamor or prestige is worth chasing if there's no chance at MY happiness and MY health.

This make it till you are 30 mentality bullshit has got to go. The anxiety it gives a person in early to mid 20s to feel like you need to keep moving to feel like you are moving closer to success.

Lot of young men like ourselves are conditioned to believe that giving up a decade of our youth to live like kings and gods the rest of our lives is a pretty seductive thought, no matter how unlikely the chances, society almost expects young men to behave and perform like robots, showing no emotion, just take it and bring home the bacon.

These days, I'm a bit older and beginning to think, good things, like all other things, take time. This kamikaze rags to riches type of mentality we see in movies, doesn't seem to work very well (you burn out quickly).

This quote from Frank Lopez in Scarface rings true here.

"Hey, Tony. Remember when I told you when you first started working for me, the guys that last in this business, are the guys who fly straight. Low-key, quiet. But the guys who want it all, chicas, champagne, flash... they don't last. "

Don't think I want to be part of any work culture where shitty cocaine mixed in some shithole in colombia and commiting adultery with overpriced hookers with plastic boobs .

registered, nothing happens. ended up logging in like 3 times, started a minecraft server that is stuck in a failed loop.

the attachable wings is an interesting one. I wonder if in the year 3000 we'll be able to fly around in the sky with a device as small as a small band you wear around your ankles and wrists. Michio Kaku says one day we can do this in the future.

to be able to fly around will be an pinnacle of our achievement as humanity.

surprised there's so much unrest in France.

well, my point was that stuff we consider 'hollywood' happens day to day in less wealthy parts of the world, that's what I meant, it'd be interesting to see what solutions we come up with.

And to answer somebody who said, you couldn't get out of a situation yourself, that's the whole point of trusting a driverless AI, I want it to do the impossible for me.

Imagine if you had driverless cars in the favelas, that's what I mean.

Like that simpsons episode, where the truck automatically evades danger. I wonder if it's possible to have a driverless car that is able to perform these type of 'humanly impossible' feats.

I don't see why not, a sensor monitoring the world in ultra slow motion, able to steer it's occupants to safety when it detects a threat.

I guess I'm the only one who runs these scenarios constantly in my head.

doesn't seem to happen. people who raise ridiculous amount of money seems to do it again and again and investors are happy to keep shoveling piles of money around. vast amount of money is moved around and evaporated.

that kind of money if distributed to single founders who have a working product, generating revenues would have a far more benefit to society and consumers instead of one giant company that bullies it's way into the markets by splashing money around.

about predictability, how would driverless car deal with situations like a guy with a chainsaw running towards your car in an intersection or being trapped by motorcycle gang?

What if you were being pursued by an unknown organization, could the driverless car perform evasion driving techniques and safely get it's occupant out of harms way?

There's so many edge cases.

I think manufactured driverless car would be Uber's undoing. Think of Uber as Google's trojan horse. Get people used to the idea of trusting a network outside of taxi monopoly, use uber's billion dollar war chest to twist arms of city policy makers, and flood the network with Google's driverless cars. I think this is Google's last mover advantage, this is where I think 'software is eating the world' moment comes to play, a search engine company sweeps rug under taxi monopoly globally. I'd be shit scared if I was some big conglomerate with multiple monopolies under attack from tech giants.

I think a truly revolutionary driverless technology would be if you could buy sensors and a DIY kit from walmart, hook it up to your car to turn it into a driverless car.

A pickup truck from 1970s could be soon be driverless. Let a human drive when he feel like it but let the computer take over in dangerous and emergency situations where the human mind would be overloaded with sensory information and slow reaction speeds and lack of rational thinking could cause danger.

It reminds me of the new recovery systems being implemented in F-16s, when the pilot is passed out and plane sees imminent terrain danger, it will perform a recovery maneuver automatically.

This is the future, where AI does every possible thing for us. Even thinking. Every whim, every desires, every material can be experienced virtually via haptic controls, androids, 3d printed food of any taste and texture. We live in truly exciting times.

I feel like this should be engraved in stone and delivered to anyone who is thinking of getting into this game but try telling that to a hot headed under 30 founder who is worried about burning that cash as fast as possible to 'grow big and sell the company'.

I almost feel like SV is all about exits and not enough focus on meaningful products that arise out of genuine passion to solve a real problem.

what's evernote again? I installed it once in 2012 out of curiosity, never used it or seen it again. Some type of note taking app?

Thank you for the kind and inspiring words!

damn...I am so awe-struck, I was going to apply to some jobs today but then I read this article and I'm so overwhelmed with inspiration that I'm just going to keep pushing. Keep pushing after years of mediocrity, I'm not going to give up.

Gary Brewer. His name is Gary. He showed me it is possible. Builtwith is a standing fact. Fight club exists irl.

I think the last bit about what didn't matter has a huge take away home value. It's ironic that so much crap we read today drives home these two things that we focus so much on:

1. Content Marketing

2. Sales Team

"Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime," Amazon said in the e-mail. "It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion."

could we expect a major recall? 10+ million cars would be disastrous.
