Not comparable and the bandwidth cost would be insane.

I've always been confused by Calico as a company. Are they part of Google or an independent company funded by Google. They seem to be sharing office space at one of Google offices and there are obvious ties but is working for Calico independent i.e. none of the Google benefits and perks or is it suppose to be a division of Google

Why not emacs + evil-mode full time over vim + tmux?

It's been awhile and no clear sign they are sending out the invites yet...

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable this without turning off the genie effect altogether? Essentially just remove the slow motion aspect.

Attorney.

Are you sure you're not currently on an "at-will" employment. I'm not sure about other places but pretty sure California is an "at-will" employment state.

I'd like it to function relatively close to how the actual calculator works as I'm use to using it that way. CLI would be cool too but I'd imagine that limits the range of users who would know what to do with the calc who may have a use for it.

The equivalent of a high quality graphing calculator (something akin to the NSpire CX Cas or at the last the old TI-89 Plus)

Probably not. But awesome show. Significantly better than that garbage Silicon Valley.

While I don't disagree that Google support is abysmal, they do respond if you know the appropriate channels.

I've gotten support for both Adwords and Adsense and can successful claim I've been unbanned from both at different periods of time. That isn't to excuse your point but wanted to put this out there that while difficult, it is possible.

I can't answer you directly but if I were in your shoes, I would ask myself what I would want to accomplish from this. If the answer is something vague like grow it into a sustainable business with more users, then it's probably not the right one to pursue (for me in my own opinion).

Every idea with intent of becoming a business has the goal of growing and being sustainable. That's too vague. I would prefer to work on ideas that I care deeply about because those are ideas I enjoy the most and if that is true, there is often a more in-depth goal of where I wish the idea or project to be headed even if I don't necessarily have all the details or answers mapped out.

If you don't have an answer like this in mind, at best my suggestion is to keep thinking until something feels right.

The money must be made back somewhere along the pipeline here...

Microsoft...

In a talk given by Bill Gates, he mentioned that Microsoft only took on an investment once and it wasn't because company needed money but because Bill Gates wanted to bring on an investor to be on Microsoft's board of directors and that was the only way to do so. Supposedly that investor has been on the Microsoft board for decades.

Obviously because they technically did raise funding, might not satisfy the question

Not even close. One of the major innovations missing from OS evolution is a cloud connected OS. ChromeOS gives you a bit of a glimpse at this but in reality ChromeOS really isn't much of an OS when you think of something more robust like OS X. But if you can imagine a cloud driven OS where you simply log in (like you would, say, gmail) and your entire OS follows you no matter where you go. This is also a concept similar to network accounts Universities have for students (although in much more limited capacity) and I believe one of the core influences behind Dropbox.

I am fairly certain there are way more than just this but ultimately this is one of the things I'd like to see happen.

For a long time, was using CentOS. In recent years, Ubuntu.

HTML --> CSS --> JS

I'd be interested in knowing how you got a job at Google as a pre-cursor.

Holy cow are we incompatible

The main reason is because Delaware has a long history of case law and is preferable to investors. Many here (CA) will typically structure a C Corp in DE and a foreign C Corp in their home state where they operate.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

This in itself is a red flag of amateur hour

I can't answer your direct question as I'm not an investor but seed investments are often convertible notes that do not convert to equity with further funding. Essentially they become low interest loans at that point. Investors would obviously prefer to have equity in the company and equity at a seed stage level might place pre-mature valuation on the company that is often disadvantageous.

If you expect to be profitable and do not wish to raise, venture debt or other means of capitals might make more sense. Alternatively being profitable does not mean you shouldn't raise. Raising capital helps with bringing on board investors and mentors you otherwise lack access to, capital to accelerate growth, etc.

Unless you expect insane growth and profit without the need of new capital, chances are anyone investing would want the company to scale up quite large.

Again, as a disclaimer, I am not an investor but this is just what I understand being in the startup game for some time.

I don't know what site you're referring to but take a look at CoderByte and Project Euler

As echoed by others on here, there is a shortage of __good__developers for hire. I've seen plenty of developers get interviewed at some startup companies only to be turned down for the job and I've known a few that were trying to apply and get denied. Majority of companies are hiring but that doesn't mean they'll hire just any developer. The issue is developers are not all created equal and I've been around enough developers to know that rejection is common, some times several rejections, before they finally are able to land a job somewhere (not necessarily even a startup by the time its done).

There are numerous development bootcamps if you search for them. I believe a couple of the others out there are General Assembly and DevBootcamp

This. I can't tell you how often the barrier of not having a degree is an issue, even in places like Silicon Valley where supposedly skills matter more (yet majority of postings including for a large number of startups requires a degree).

If you have a solid portoflio, solid work experience, etc... this might not be an issue down the road but it can be difficult just making that first step. Unlike Junto, I didn't get a degree. I dropped out. I regret not doing something about it sooner. Although things did work out in the end, having that degree would have been much easier even if the courses and everything else turned out to be useless relative to what you do.

Go to school. Work on projects and learn on the side. Make connections while you're still in college.

Per your example, see prior lawsuit between Padmapper and Craigslist. It's public data. I believe this was before Padmapper was monetized so might not have been a monetization model. This was before Craigslist has its current map view.

Didn't change the fact that they were sued on grounds of infringing on data that was public. Whether they were right to do so or not is up to the legal system to decide.

Where's the video?
