people make companies and the rules. you are a person and agreed to this and acted as if you agreed. you took a bet and it didnt come out financially the way you want. you probably learned alot about startups and what works and doesnt tho.


Well, yeah, the only person I was angry with was myself. The rest of my emotions at the time were mostly of frustration and sadness with a system that undervalues an asset I had invested (my time above and beyond).


Does anyone know (I don't see in docs, but maybe?) if this has the power to be able to make an image hash for comparison to other images? To be able to do tineye type stuff?


Agree... I did it about 2.5 years ago and is one of the single best things I have done, next to it is getting married and having the kid.


My vision is only slightly nearsighted, so I'm certainly not a candidate for LASIK (or PRK).

But I did try getting married; definitely one of the worst decisions I ever made in my life.

Luckily there weren't any kids involved.

According to statistics, you're significantly less than 50% likely to have a happy marriage, so it's not a very good gamble.



Anyone that talks about AA like this isnt really doing what AA is... the helplessness thing also isnt true.

Powerlessness is just about "I dont have power over X" where x=other people, other circumstances, etc etc.

All you have power over is your OWN actions. And thru that you gain immense power.

The steps are just about clearing out the shitty character your developed lying and cheating your way to get high/drunk... So you can start making decisions without trying to cover up 100 other shitty decisions.

The higher power thing is just about not being so self centered and framing the world from a point of view where the addict isnt in the center of it, but a participant equal to all others.

Theres lots of crazy everywhere, and AA attracts alot of them. But people who have found true freedom outside of addictions thru the process. And many people just build new frameworks to be assholes with.



I think this article is completely stupid, and is "conceptual debt" in not understanding fully what technical debt actually is. This article describes BAD PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.

DEBT is an instrument. A good CTO/Developer will know when the codebase/product/platform is taking on technical debt. The same way you might take debt for a house, and pay back over time so you can LIVE in it. Shitty CTO's/Developers will take on tech debt without knowing it, and soon enough you're fucked. That's how people become homeless in the real world with real debt. (Well one way)

There is NEVER a time when you want to take on 'conceptual debt' AKA make crap product choices. That is just being stupid or short sighted. The only time to take on conceptual debt is if I am a development agency being paid by rich stupid people, and I want to make as much money as possible and not care about my reputation with them.


Digitalocean is a great alternative for simple things.

I use it for dev / early projects and as things get complex or need more redundancy I make the production spend on AWS.


This should be used as an example of why the NSA's capturing of 'metadata' is really a problem. It's basically the same thing and is a big deal.

Sucks that Uretsky couldn't help himself to get a sense of what the Clinton camp was thinking tho


Another point worth making: this is the same type of (meta) data that we use to target drone strikes.

Anyone who says metadata is harmless hasn't been paying attention for quite some time.


Yes would love to know how this compares to Genymotion...
