> Kik? The teen messaging app from like 2010 that no one uses anymore?

I use to think the same thing, until I listened to this episode of Darknet Diaries:

Why? I seriously don't understand this investment. Can someone here explain?

As the article says, equity rarely pays off, that has been my experience. If you are joining a company in hopes you'll be a millionaire once the company exits then you're setting unrealistic expectations and will be disappointed.

This is brilliant. Amazing work. It even caught my ceiling fan running in the background.

Saw this on Twitter yesterday, and it looks interesting. With that said, the one concern my team has is around privacy. The blog post says:

"All without ever having access to personally identifiable information or invading the privacy of your users."

Can you elaborate on how you go about that?

Brilliant work Geoffrey.

My bad @dang. I honestly read it over the weekend and it sounded familiar but didn't think to to check HN before submitting.

Awesome, thank you.

Where is the data coming from?

Saw this on Product Hunt. Can't wait to use it for my projects. Great work!

We should all post ours here. I'll start:

* Google * Amazon/AWS (interviewed by Jeff Barr and tbh, I was starstruck) * Cloudflare * EdgeCast * Twitter * GitLab * GitHub * Linux Foundation * Wikimedia * DigitalOcean * Snyk

I just walked by the one in Woodland Hills, CA (Alice in Wonderland theme). I first started my career in IT and that store was my go to for parts. I went there in November and it was depressing, empty shelves, no customers, small staff. End of an era.

This sets a great example for other cloud providers to emulate. I'm really proud of Ewa Jodlowska (PSF Executive Director) and her team for making this happen for the Python community.

My dream was to work with the open source community full time, and CodeFund made that happen. Thank you (Eric), Nate, and Andrew for the past nine months. I learned so much and am very proud we were able to help sustain open source maintainers for as long as we could.

I might be a little biased but CodeFund might be a good choice.

Hey Mike, all good! You do what's best for your users. The new design looks great! Keep in touch.

Hey Mike. Inventory is lower than usual but we do have a new sales guy who is starting to bring on new advertisers. We are doing everything in our power to rebound during this pandemic. Email me or ask me here if you have any other questions. Justin at codefund dot io

We are trying with CodeFund

[Edit: I just noticed my partner already mentioned our service, I removed the url]

I just donated to ProPublica. Amazing work.

Thanks @bbody for the endorsement! =) If anyone here has any questions about ethical advertising please let us know: team@codefund.io

Just curious, what is your opinion on Ethical Ads (no tracking, cookies, selling data)?

We do. You can check our pricing on our website. You can also email me justin@codefund.io if you have any further questions.

Looks awesome. If CodeFund could be of any help ping me Justin at codefund.io

Circa 2011 I was doing support for MaxCDN and from time to time there were recurring issues with Cloudflare and our service being used together with a WordPress plugin. They ended up reaching out and we all got on a call not knowing what to expect. Long story short, call went great and we worked together on a solution that helped our shared customers. Cloudflare has made the CDN industry better. They've made huge contributions to the open source and webperf communities and I'm really happy for them.

Hello HN! We’re really excited to share this with you all. If we’ve missed any key details, or if you’d like to add a new event to the timeline, email stackhistory@stackshare.io and we will update it asap. Have a great weekend!

He has been pretty transparent with his bipolar disorder. Speaking from experience mania drastically changes your personality.

> His collaborators also consistently cited his bipolar disorder as an excuse for whatever he did. I think this is deeply unfair to Reitz, and to everyone struggling with mental health issues.

He's right it's completely unfair to others with bipolar disorder (can't speak for other mental illnesses). If you take you take your medication, go to therapy, practice CBT, and stay sober you can live a normal life. Don't get me wrong, it's hard work and expensive.

I have no idea what Kenneth's situation is and I'm not excusing any of the alleged behavior, I'm just asking that others not to assume automatically all others successfully treating bipolar disorder (1 or 2) are up to no good.

This is great for those who have already been through a CBT program administered by professionals.

I said it once and I'll say it again, CBT saved my life. When my anti-depressants took close to 2 months to work my doctor referred me to a partial hospitalization program that taught it.

If you know someone suffering from depression please don't install this on their phone until they see a professional.

It's real. In 2014 I was on medical leave off and on for 9 months from burnout and severe depression. No one has super powers. Take care of yourself.

I started my career in technical support and looking back it was one of the greatest learning experiences.

The Support Team knows the product better than anyone in the company which is extremely valuable if/when you get promoted to another position within the company.
