that's vuejs shorthand for binding the attribute to a variable (or a js value).

i.e. show is bound to the value of showRight placement is read as "right" width is set to be the int 350.

yep.

I had the strangest interaction with the Messenger app a few months ago.

I was spending time with friends, and I took a few pictures of all of us (didn't send them through either FB or Messenger). A few hours later, messenger popped up a notification telling me something along the lines of "Hey, I see you took pictures today of <friend>. Want to send them to her?"

Made me feel incredibly creeped out that FB would take my photos and (presumably upload and) analyze them even when I hadn't given them to FB.

I'm not a hardcore JS dev, but it probably has to do with the speed of objects vs. arrays. In most languages, arrays are significantly faster (because they're basically one contiguous block of memory).

I'm finding this comment thread to be a great example of the idea that everyone has different and particular learning styles. 6 comments, 4 different git tutorials (not counting the original post.)

I recently found a newsfeed eradicator extension that hides the newsfeed whenever you visit Facebook but still let's you check groups, message, and see notifications. I've found it to be a pretty happy balance between continuing to use facebook as a communication tool and not letting it suck me in time-wise.

My assumption about basic income was always that at it's core, it provides the money for food and shelter. This reduces bureaucratic overhead in terms of trying to provide people those goods, and gives them the freedom to make their own choices and not have to work to survive, and the government is no longer forced to create the infrastructure to try to find ways to provide food and shelter. This may, however, require work in terms of providing affordable housing options to everyone, but I don't think you have to solve one problem first to solve the other.

Health Care and Education are a separate (but still related and important) set of problems. Both of those require greater infrastructure on the part of the government to provide effective solutions, so again this is a problem that also requires a lot of thought and effort, but providing basic income doesn't seem like it would preclude health care/education reform. Nor does it seem like solving health care and education reform would change the structure or overall effects of a basic income program; they're simply additional solutions that would certainly improve our quality of life and possibly the efficacy of the program.

I think it's reasonable to argue that it's less of an either/or and more of a self-defeating cycle.

Lower class life -> desire to escape -> worse habits -> lower class life

and so on.

Huge fan of Vue.js. Clean, lightweight, very easy to learn, use and build powerful functionality with.

I think the keyword is significantly. If Uber tripled or quadrupled their prices, I think they'd be fairly vulnerable to regional competitors. Even an increase of 1.5x seems like it'd be hard to pull off.

Speaking anecdotally, I know for sure that I'd use a cheaper alternative to save $5 even if it took an extra 10 min.

Not exactly a puzzle, but a good game of Mao is always a fun challenge.

thanks. I've seen that before, but for some reason I kept assuming that it was different than an actual k interpreter because none of their docs refer to the K language.

Slightly unrelated question - where would I find an interpreter for K so I can start playing around with the language?

I understand what you're saying, but my argument is that the 5K in credits are actually of fairly low value to the startups getting office hours, because they don't have real profits/revenue at that stage, at least not enough where 5K makes a difference to the long term survival of a startup.

If I'm a very early stage startup, I'm worried about being alive next year. Yes, 5K may help, but that 5K will likely not make a significant difference in my company's prospects. 20 minutes with an advisor at YC could completely change my company's trajectory.

I'd imagine there are very few companies that apply, and then get selected for office hours, that will walk away from the meeting saying "I'm so glad I did that because I got 5K in Amazon credits." That said, it is still a great perk.

generally speaking as a startup, I'm not hyper-worried about spending 5K in hosting costs and unless you're an entirely social/pre-revenue startup, by the time you're spending 5K in hosting, your business is starting to make some decent revenue.

I'm much more focused on getting and having enough users that I get to worry about spending 5k on hosting.

Yeah that was the first example I thought of too in terms of recent cautionary tales. I think there are some key differences though, namely that as a Life Science company, the scrutinity and examination of Theranos' tech is much much harder to prove with certainty. It's why drugs have to go through such extensive trials to be brought to market.

There's a certain amount of seeing is believing to Magic Leap. If I were to wear a Magic Leap headset and was able to play the game that they demo, I would sign on in a heartbeat. You can fake a demo, but you can't fake the game. And I'd imagine investors at this valuation/amount of money (which btw is 10x what Theranos raised total!) are definitely getting into the nuts and bolts, making sure that the tech isn't being faked.

I don't know where I stand on this. To be raising such ridiculous amounts, they must have some incredible technology to demo.

If they're anything close to what the second demo video shows, then they're basically building Tony Stark's home computer interface in Iron Man.

Two potentially helpful resources to share that might help explain Vesting Schedules to folks:

Full Disclosure - I am a co-founder of Capyx.

I'd argue that "smarter" is too 1-dimensional of a scale here. A good manager/CEO hires people smarter than them in certain skills - ie an engineer with lots of backend/software architecture experience may hire a frontend programmer/designer. You wouldn't say that either is really smarter than the other, but they each bring unique skillsets/viewpoints to the problem.

That he did in fact mention this issue, and noted it's relationship to Jessica in his article. He didn't expound on it at length, but why would he when the point of this article is Jessica's involvement in YC?

you seem to completely have missed this footnote:

>[3] The existence of people like Jessica is not just something the mainstream media needs to learn to acknowledge, but something feminists need to learn to acknowledge as well. There are successful women who don't like to fight. Which means if the public conversation about women consists of fighting, their voices will be silenced.

Yeah but that's a very risky move. If even 50% of the power users pay, then twitter still loses 50% of it's key content, which costs it users, which then means the remaining power users are less interested in paying and so on.

Hey all,

I'm one of the co-founders of Capyx with Samay. We wanted to put a tool out there allowing startup employees to understand their vesting schedule a little better. We also put together a short cap table guide to put some consolidated information out there on how cap tables work. We'd love to answer any questions and get some feedback!

Then what would Portland be?

This is super interesting - it seems like facebook's more likely to get away with it too because the people being ripped off are smaller independent YouTube Channels.

It seems like YouTube's main incentive to build out copyright infringement tools was all of the record labels that had songs being uploaded and re-uploaded on the platform.

I can see YouTube getting really aggressive in fighting FB on this legally, because they need to defend their own content providers before they move to Facebook (or start uploading to both facebook/youtube).

https://easyvoting.co/ is a solution that tackles this.

management at that point becomes providing direction and helping focus priorities and helping your programmers be their best.

this is incredibly fascinating to me, but a huge role of Government ID's is it's association with a record of information re: you, i.e. past criminal history, credit, etc, all of which is kept track of by the government.

For this ID to be legitimately viable, it would need to be able to provide similar access to such information on demand.

The liquidation preferences helps makes the investment make a whole lot of sense.
