Ahah, what I have observed here (I have been in 3 start-ups and interviewed quite a few people) is that people work much longer hours. It's a pretty well-known thing among french expats: if you come back to France, you are more likely to work longer hours.

Again, this is just my view of the industry, with a few data points here and there.

Your headline talks to me a lot.

If you can deliver on your promise then I would definitely be a user and a customer.

I am a software engineer and the design part is always a big problem for me, until a friend and ex-colleague of mine arrives.

I did not know the touchbar was that capable. Great job.

But it’s already in the git objects and therefore accessible to anyone who clones the repository? I am not 100% sure about that. Can someone confirm?

I don’t even need a truck, I am driving a Prius Prime (32 miles battery + gas tank) today and I want to buy this. The look, the specs, the design of the website, I love it all!

At Producteev, my old start-up, I implemented the payment system using Paypal, omg, it was so hard, and so painful for the following reason: - poor documentation - I never knew how to get an up to date documentation - very slow api and website - very hard to understand the meaning of the undocumented data etc.

Once, my co-founder @Ilan Abehassera sent me a link to an article about Stripe on Techcrunch:

I signed up to Stripe, within minutes I was able to charge my own credit card through a CURL bash call, everything was clear, recurring payment perfectly handled, discount, etc etc. And this was at the very beginning of Stripe. Then I had to come up with why we should quickly switch from Paypal to Stripe.

Anyway, very good memoery, you definitely set the standard for how an API should be designed and I can't thank you enough for that!

Wait wait WAIT! It is much more complicated than that.

You can make XHR (aka ajax) requests only if the CORS policy allows it (concretely, this local web server you are trying to access is answering with a specific HTTP header saying "I authorize the website xyz.com to send XHR request to me via the web browser of the client of xyz.com).

Now for everything outside of XHR(ajax), you can send different type of requests : <script src="..."></script> but this let you only load js files. <img src="..." /> but this lets you only load images, you can't really do much other than try to load images with that.

So if you get into the detail of each "web api" (XHR, <img/>, <script/>, etc) you will see that you are actually very limited.

The major browsers I've tested — Safari, Chrome, Firefox — all allow web pages to send requests not only to localhost but also to any IP address on your Local Area Network! Can you believe that? I'm both astonished and horrified.

I guess this should serve as a cue that there is something off in what you are writing. You did not just discover a major security flaw in all web browsers while not being an experimented (at least web) software engineer.

I honestly have no idea of what I can say and what I can't say.

I think it's reasonable to think that I can share that nobody bought my shares. I can't talk for any other employee or anybody else.

why would it matter? I had vested a good chunk of my stocks. And it’s hard to define since they did not buy my shares.

Ex drive.ai employee here. I got $0 for my stocks.

I love the concept. I would love to have anentry point to cost function with the following parameters:

- traffic - elevation gain - type of street - a way to represent the distance overhead compare the other segments.

Any framework / dev env where I could easily get that entry point and see the top results on a map?

Is there a bike routing product that uses this new api that I can use? I spend hours finding the "less stressfull" bike routes. I like hills but I really value safety.

Why is general bluetooth connectivity so "buggy"? Why am I always struggling connecting my iPhone 6s to my bose bluetooth speaker? I would love to understand that.

Every blog post should have a TLDR like this one.

TL;DR: Michael Seibel will be the new CEO of YC Core, which we are now just going to call "YC". Ali Rowghani is now the CEO of the YC Continuity Fund. I’m going to be the President of YC Group, which includes Y Combinator, YC Continuity, YC Research, and our new online class. We’ll add more organizational units over time. We’re going to replace the Fellowship with a much larger MOOC launching next year.

Whats their weissman score?

this is one of the best comment on HN! Love it!

I just tried on my iphone but after the sign-up, the UI is not behaving correctly. I was CTO / co-foubder at www.producteev.com , I really want to see what you are up to!

I will stop by. Thanks!

Thank you! I will get deeper into that!

I think this is what I would like to do in the long run. I find it very interesting to focus on problems and try to find solutions.

For example, I had to work on a voice detection algorithm while working at Wit.ai, and I find it super interesting. I had to explore some research paper to implement and tweak it. I have no idea how interesting it would be to do that full time or part time but I think I would love it. More than working on business product, which I also like.

And what do you mean by "afford to take time off from career" ? Financially speaking?

Thank you.

Very interesting. I dropped out of school early but I managed to get my degree through a special program (in France). I have the equivalent of a bachelor or master degree (not clear how the US convert it).

Anything specific to know in order to implement the language VBA ?

Very similar stories on my side... I used to need a lot of food to feel "satisfied" or "full". Now, a regular meal, like my wife who has always eat small portion and healthy food, and I am good until the next meal.

Sugar is addictive. It is therefore a drug. Like it or not.

Stop eating it for a few weeks and you will find food with a lot of added sugar disgusting (eg: coke).

I posted a comment earlier today describing my own experience. I never said that everybody should stop eating food with added sugar, I just said it worked for me.

One main thing we don't mention in this thread is that sugar is addictive. Cutting sugar was hard like quitting somking was hard. If you never got addicted like I was, I guess it os hard to understand the problem. But when you are addicted it is hard to just know if you are hungry or not. So I choosed to go on the other extreme which works better for me.

Good point. My feeling is that this rule of cutting added sugar is a good rule to actually eat mostly healthy food. There is counter example to that of course. I am not doing a scientific study, I am just tired to gain weight if I don't run 3 times a week.

Coffee without anything. Has been like that even before I cut added sugar.

I do! Why?
