jmschlmrs··on 2022 Climate Tech VC funding totals $70.1B, up 89% on 2021
They could if there was a (nation state) enforced price for carbon and hence a market to operate in.
jmschlmrs··on Ask HN: New job at BigCo. Everything has friction
I your case, was the fortune a product of starting your own company or working at a smaller one?
jmschlmrs··on Actual is going open-source
I’m working on a similar product at https://mygraph.ca and always looked up to James and Actual. Great product and well engineered.

It was amazing to see how productive he has been the past few years working on it while also being at Stripe. Not surprised to hear it got to be a bit much.

jmschlmrs··on Plaid is an evil nightmare product from Security Hell
This is one of the main reasons I’m building https://mygraph.ca.

Unfortunately the only current and sane way to allow users to aggregate their financial data seems to be by having users pull .csv files from all of their accounts (at least where I am, in Canada).

jmschlmrs··on How you can track your personal finances using Python
I built https://mygraph.ca as I was tired of Mint failing to sync with Canadian banks (and later dropped Mint anyway because of the security/privacy concerns).

It’s not targeting technical users but it would be cool to add a SQL integration like Stripe Sigma, etc at some point.

jmschlmrs··on I Don't Want to Be a Founder
"[..] while still allowing for a decent income even in the event of failure." How does this work? You're just taking enough of a salary as an early stage C[X]O/founder that your downside is limited?
jmschlmrs··on Guide to JavaScript Frameworks
So is it fair to say that Vue is for people that wish Angular had stayed on the V1 path and not diverged to be more like React for V2 onward?
jmschlmrs··on Guide to JavaScript Frameworks
This sounds very much like Angular 1.
jmschlmrs··on Job applicants over 40 filtered out by employers
Unrelated question, but are you working as an iOS developer and making that salary in the Midwest? Or do you have a different role like Architect or PM?
jmschlmrs··on Learning Node.js and React while building a product
Are you using arrow functions? I find that using es2015 arrow functions for class methods takes care of most of the problems around this and react.

The only annoyance is dealing with binding event handlers to items/components in a list. Generally you need to abstract the list item into it's own component and do the event handler binding there.

I don't use .bind() anywhere in my react code.

jmschlmrs··on The STEM Crisis Is a Myth (2013)
Apply anyway.
jmschlmrs··on Vancouver plans to tax empty properties 1% of their assessed value
It's one of the nicest/only cities in the Pacific Rim, where Chinese investors seem to prefer to invest.
jmschlmrs··on Chinese Buy One-Third of Vancouver Homes: National Bank Estimate
Vancouver rental prices are actually not that bad, as rent prices are usually more closely aligned with incomes (which are comparatively low in Vancouver).

Prices to buy in Vancouver are completely insane and detached from local incomes.
