Going to be? It isn't already?

Look no further than the rest of the comments on this post explaining how Jordan was wrong.

No, he’s referring to drilling a 3rd hole in the frame of an ar-15 in order to install and auto-sear and convert it to fully automatic.

I'm usually one to loathe the use of this word, but is there anything more privileged than casually suggesting "raising investment money from friends and family". It's surely rarified air one breathes when you can casually raise a few hundred thousand from your immediate social circle.

Nothing is free. In Rails you have _currently well maintained libraries_ for this. There are still complexity costs, dependency costs, data costs, performance cots, etc, etc, etc.

Everybody should keep a spiral bound atlas in their car. The dependence we are all discussion on GPS will be _really_ painful in the event of a crisis when your cell service stops working and you can't find your way home from 2 miles away.

Of course not. Both parties use it at all levels of government. Getting rid of it only helps non-politicians, ergo politicians will never support it (unless they are losing).

As I understand it, this is not permitted under the GNU General Public License v3.0. Is that correct? I would think that certain licenses do permit this (MIT possibly?). Could anybody with knowledge chime in?

You should start thinking of your own time this way. Everyone has an hourly rate, how much do you spend solving problems like this?

What you are describing is “easy” if it’s something you practice regularly. It would easily take me, an advanced SWE an hour to learn the process from scratch or re-learn after not thinking about the system for 18 months. $120/year pays for itself very quickly.

For anyone doing this as a hobby sure, but if this is your business then it’s nuts not to just pay the cheap toll.

Most people don't have suggestions, they just have complaints. If you've never been in the position as a business leader where you are forced to lay off employees then it can seem capricious.

I'm baffled at the response in these HN comments. There are currently thousands of life coaches and influences all over the internet who tell people to do these exact type of morning aspiration journals. There is nothing abnormal in these notes.

Daily affirmations and goals like this are part of nearly every self help system on the market. This is straight out of a Tony Robbins style life success guide.

YMMV, software engineers can usually get away with murder.

It really all depends on how you frame it. I probably used terminology like “taking meetings with” instead of “interviewing at”. Just make sure it’s not with competitive companies and maybe more importantly not with sister companies under shared VC funds.

Honesty goes a long way, and if your employer is going to fire you because you are keeping tabs on your market value then you need a new employer anyway.

I had a strategy for this that I frequently recommend to people. Back when I was "in the game" and living in NYC, I used to take 1-2 interviews per month despite being happy in my then current role. I was up front with current and prospective employers about this.

This strategy served me well on many fronts: confidence in my skills and my options, familiarity with evolving interview trends, and networking opportunities with team leaders in a tight knit industry. It also allowed me to chase roles/positions which I wasn't immediately qualified for without feeling stress and anxiety, and was immensely helpful later on as an engineer turned startup CEO to know what product/project management interviews should feel like.

"If I supposedly murdered my wife, why would I put a $1mm bounty on finding the killer?"

I have a somewhat contrarian perspective to your #1/2. Instead of starting with an idea, start with a market. Maybe even a problem in that market. Then go out and have as many conversations as possible with people in that market to really wrap your head around what problems they have and how they currently solve them. Only after that, start testing solutions to their problems to find marketable products or services. The 'idea first' mentality so often leads to confirmation bias.

Lastly, as a full-stack engineer who has made the transition into 'successful' full-time startup ceo, I advise to to focus less on the technology than on the sales and customer relationships. Tech skills will be your competitive edge, but personal relationships will be the foundation of the business.

Start a SoLoMo app company, obviously.

Doesn’t seem that thought provoking. Winning chess tournaments isn’t a scalable solution to any problem.

While you’re probably right on the zeitgeist aspect of this, I think you’re missing the practical aspects of what OP is talking about. We have major vulnerabilities to key infrastructure components. Publicly exposing these helps harden them. Yes 9-11 added a ton of security theater and fear, but it also resulted in armored doors on airplane cockpits. I’d like to see the armored door of the energy infrastructure implemented.

"LGBTQAI+/ally" at some point we are going to need an abbreviation for this abbreviation.

The value of your cash fluctuates wildly to zero when the government can seize it without due process and you can't get it back.

Nothing is stopping you, a member of society, giving somebody $20,000 to help them with back rent.

Sky. Sensobi days.

I learned this bit of insight from you directly several years ago and reflect on it often. The first thing you did when we sat down was start grilling me on my views of tech trends and emerging areas of innovation. I was caught a bit off guard and gave terrible answers, but adopting that attitude of curiosity has helped me tremendously to find my market and grow my business.

If becoming a billionaire or not was simply a matter of choice for you I’m surprised you couldn’t figure out a way to do it without running through wives.

Ah interesting. Makes me wonder what watch lists I'm on now.

What's worse is that when they ban you they refuse to talk to you. No explanation, no justification, no appeal. Just an automated reply to look at their ToS and you can never hold a coinbase account again.

TSLA has been at peak hype for 5+ years.
