With email deliverability the key factor is now domain name reputation and less ip.

This has been fixed. French people won't get any new green cards.

I really like this article! Thanks for posting it

I think the essay considers genius as something way too simpler. I'll give you just one example : there is a relationship between environment and development and this is clearly not examined nor cited. A genius might emerge but she needs support from her environment.

It depends what you want and what is your market size. Due to liquidation preference, it makes sense for investors to invest in any good companies they can no matter their size.

Now that SaaS is maturing and opportunities are smaller microSaaS will become more commonplace.

I built one 10 years ago and I remember people thought I was crazy at that time...

Afaik YC if anything is that they're not very not risk averse and that's because they accept tons of companies

We had it in Paris and it is not a success. Cars are too slow and small for real highway use, they are expensive and especially dirty. Hopefully they will improvement on all these points

Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15886128

isn't it the point of YCombinator? Does that mean he is launching a competitor to YC?

They have a new edition covering new subjects. Also they're explaining the big principles behind compilers. That's why the book is still relevant (I'm working at a compiler startup)

I can do it from my Android. I have a block list/block all unknown. It's super easy to access

Even though this story is horrible, it reminds me of a silicon valley episode

Are they prescient or does things never change?

imho just that you need to build something other companies cannot copy easily.

I worked on that http://pilo.cool and stopped for precisely that reason

Google is releasing such a product too

There is this company too: https://computing.qarnot.com/

It's built on the same idea but a more mature and more general solution to the same problem.

It depends on your budget. They start caring about >10K$/month I think.

Also if you're a startup, you can get usually 100K$ of free credit

it's comparing apple to oranges. At the risk of stating the obvious, academia is not a good way to get rich imho. That is hardly new :)

I think the first option is to go to AWS and tell them that. They can discount prices + have staff to help you reduce your bills. I'd start here actually

I think it started with AWS success

yes my bad: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/19961/is-bitcoin...

it's interesting how Amazon is now positioning themselves as a tier 1 employer.

They used to be a tier2.

AFAIK they also have a brutal pager culture where you're awoken in the middle of the night.

You can do actually things with gold. More than you'd expect (for instance http://geology.com/minerals/gold/uses-of-gold.shtml )

BTC is quite different as it is only a "value store" and is inflationary (the supply of BTC is fixed and won't increase)

if I knew I'd be working on precisely that :)

People used to say the same thing about Wintel until the Web appeared.

Not to say his points are wrong just that it lacks some historical perspective.

IMHO, these companies are on the verge of becoming irrelevant actually.

I just got that a huawei p8 lite 2017. I paid it <200$ and it's pretty good. It feels like an iPhone rip off and you need to uninstall a few apps/change some settings in param. Overall I'm surprised that it's that good.

Of course there is a bias in this study with people in Mensa. There is also an added bias: people tested for IQ (in Europe) are tested because of behaviour issues usually.

the interesting question is imho what do you think (from your experience).

Are you/your friends with high IQ psychological issues? I've read previously that high IQ protects from such trouble

Why is that surprising? This is eco 101 no?

That makes sense. Thanks for your perspective.

Why not https://nats.io/ ? It is imho simpler and livelier (as in people are still working/using it)

What's your use case?

If you do lots of console works (e.g. script shell, Linux system stuff), learn emacs or vim.

On the other hand if you're a front end Web dev or an Android dev there is probably not much point except from a curiosity point of view
