My Samsung phone came with a very thin USB-C cable that only supports USB 2.0 speeds. I think that's following the standard.

In some US cities, San Francisco for example, possession and consumption of drugs is also basically decriminalized, just like in Portugal.

You can openly shot it up your veins in front of cops and nothing will happen to you.

I look forward to more cities adopting this policy of tacit decriminalization.

I don't think it can run Electron.

Success is a social construct. Intelligence is a social construct.

I apologize for reading the linkedin line in the wrong key.

> There really is no meaningful way to know that the data being put in is PII, or to regulate how the orgs that use it, do so. And even if we did put in any such safeguard

Since you advertise that your tech is suitable for lead sourcing, you obviously don't see anything wrong with mining and linking databases of PII information, as long as it's done by "the good guys".

Funny, you seem to be working on systems very similar to Palantir (twitter handle on HN profile):

What safeguards do you have in place to make sure that personally identifiable information of customers that companies using your tech have is not aggregated and pulled together for nefarious use? For example very targeted lead sourcing or targeted advertisement?

Oh, none, you actually advertise that you are mining all the databases for:

> Prospect and identify leads

But I understand that it can be hard to see certain things when your income depends on you not seeing them.

What's you new litmus test?

It's making it worse until something bad happens to someone you value.

If Obama's daughters (or Trump's if you are on the other side) were killed in some horrific racist incident, wouldn't you approve the usage of such software if it was the only hope of getting the perpetrator? Or would you say "as much as I am saddened, I cannot approve such massive invasion of privacy".

There's a real business model somewhere in here.

Buy/rent a small lake, turn it blue/pink/multi color, sell tickets to Instagrammers.

One very intuitive explanation I've heard:

It's very difficult to eat 5 oranges in one go.

It's very easy to drink the same 5 oranges as a fresh squeezed drink.

So it's basically a question of quantity, eating it makes you full very quickly, unlike drinking it.

I though fossils were dated with Carbon-14. Did that change?

You're funny.

But to answer your question, yes, it turned a profit:

Andrew W. Houston is the co-founder and CEO of Dropbox. According to Forbes, his net worth is about $2.2 billion

Dropbox has been touted as Y Combinator's most successful investment to date.

For Windows you might want to checkout OpalCalc. The website is horrible, but the product is actually good (if ugly).

Speedcrunch is a different product. You can't edit the "notepad", you just interact with the input box which is separate.

Spreadsheets force you to pick cells, and the formulas are hidden. They are non-linear, this is linear. They also take a lot of screen space, this is tiny.

Would also like this with asyncpg. psycopg2 is kind of obsolete today.

I'm well aware.

The Bentley of banks is not for UHNW, just like mass luxury products are neither.

The Bentley of banks is for people like this:

Name one bank that the average person on the street recognizes as an exclusive bank that only rich people can afford to use, like they do with Ferarri or Rolls Royce.

It seems to me like there is a space to become the Gucci/Rolls Royce/Hermes/... of banking. The place where famous Instagrammers bank. Expensive, authentic, exclusive, heritage,
