ipad doesn't have 27" screen, 3 cameras and as good mics. This is a dedicated device, so you set it and forget it.

Yes, the else keyword is not intuitive. The best way to remember for/else is for/nobreak

What is "post-money safe" for a priced round like this?

A penny from Softbank? Didn't you get the memo? Softbank requires you to take at least 1 billion.

Instead of giving this one company $2.6 billion, the investors could have invested $100k in 26k different startups.

This already happens, its called angel or accelerator funding. YC gives $150K to 200+ company every year. Some of these companies then raise more, then some more.

For founder with successful exits or other outstanding achievement, they can effectively start with series C and raise 50 million as the first round.

Thereafter everyone wants to bet on the winning horse.

The key here is "in vitro".

If there is virus growing in a Petri dish, we can inhibit the growth. But we have no idea what happens when we put this drug in a complex living being.

DHT causes hair loss, perhaps you can hope to keep your hair longer with Soy protein

Monopoly market leadership in their respective fields, which translates to high gross margin, which leads to a ton of cash on hand. Conversely, being market leaders, they are solving some really hard problems related to scale and attract good engineers.

The article is not saying that - if IBM hires 100,000 developers but AppAmaGooBookSoft have a hiring freeze, then then you get a much smaller risk premium. The point being that AppAmaGooBookSoft pay insane salaries so other companies need to pay their employees somewhat well to minimize risk losing their (best) employees to AppAmaGooBookSoft.

Phew ... tragedy averted. I ranted earlier about them [0]. We didn't use google Hire exactly for this reason. And they were more expensive than existing software while providing few features with less polish.

And yes, they had a more aggressive sales force pushing the product, who would cold call, play the discount game, etc.

This could have been a good value add to the G-Suite. Alas.

I wanted to purchase subscription to Google Hire. I literally had the credit card in my hand. But there was no way to pay. Not even a way to sign up for a free trial right away. I called them several times, no response.

More than a month later, someone finally responded. The person sounded like he is doing me a favor by getting back. In the meantime I started using another ATS that worked well for us. The salesperson response was effectively, "duh ... we are Google".

I see they have the pricing online now: https://hire.google.com/request-demo/. But still no way to pay or sign up for a trial right away.

Startups were a rarity in 2008?

YC has moved "downstream"! Upstream is where things emerge and then they travel downstream.

Their competition is not just MTR, but also Deep, Haldiram, etc that sells frozen entrees for ~ $3 at any Indian grocery.

There is a version letter, P in this case. The last version being O(reo).

I have a 2016 MPB had the same issue with the external monitor when I was using a 3rd party dongle (which was half the price of Apple's dongles). I have now bought Apple's dongle and no issues with the monitor.

Most likely earlier share holders sold their stakes, so not much dilution. Perhaps founders took money off the table too. In these cases, there is not much dilution because new shares are not issued (but not much capitalization either).

LineageOS gives me a 30% more battery on the OPO! Everything works great.

The biggest tech hub in India is in Bangalore, but both AWS and GCP chose Mumbai. Because of proximity to international data cables?

Didn't Grail raise a billion dollars to do just this?

YES! for the first 2 questions. My go to question is reverse an array (without using any library functions).

Instead of asking a quirky question, it is better to have them solve a simple problem and judge on logic and structure.

The article is available: https://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v14/n6/full/nmeth.4293....

The article almost hits on the rule of 30-30-30-10. 30% of revenue to rent, payroll and goods. You take home 10%.

If you have a restaurant or a coffee house with a revenue of $1 million, you take home $100K per year. Ouch.

Food is not an easy business.

There is room for vertical search engine. E.g., searching for research papers with Google is not very impressive.

end up full of shit

Could you give any details?

You can have a simple fabric script to copy .vimrc (and .alias, .bash_profile, etc) copied to a new server. You don't need sudo for any of this.
