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.

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.

This is even better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo6EkXHu5AI

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.

They do have the tech.. https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/6147120?hl=en

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

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

Hmm. Love-Bomb=Ego Loss. Taking that 'to the office' is sustained ego loss.

Most people have big egos. Many people have big ego's and low self esteem or high self esteem. That is the problem, and the ego absorbs the new information.

Once off the drug, that 'paradigm' shift will be integrated into the same type of thinking they had before, except now they are 'enlightened' and act in a superior way because they have seen the light.

You seem to be a seeker, and are not self centered in the way many others are. Do not assume just because you have this experience of the world, men like Jeb Bush, Mao zedong, etc are seekers to a greater truth and will then abide by that. No, they will justify their power seeking behavior.

These chemicals will serve great purpose in practiced medicine, just as they have for tens of thousands of years in many societies. Recreational use vs self medicating might get some people there, but ritualized religious use in the context of insight, healing does work in many cases. But to bring a love bomb upon the globe? Not sure about that

Evernote Skitch works super

You should send the emails, and charge me to view the report.

littlebits.com as software and more professional.

they are not patenting the ui/ux - they are showing examples of what their tech (the patent) can do.

do you mean permanent as in i meditate once, have the benefits - how long do they last? or do you mean if i make a daily practice do the benefits stay? pretty certain (at least for me) meditating is like the gym, you lose your gains once you stop going. just like most things in life you need a little bit every day to keep it in your life. (I can't just eat breakfast once either and be full) having a practice keeps the ebbs and flows in a place where you are acutely aware of it. seeing this stuff being scientifically analyzed is great.

Isn't Uber/Travis always making little comments like "if we can get you a car in 5 mins, we can get you anything in 5 mins" - they are tuning an enormous logistics engine with unlimited optionality. Cars are just the start... Boober here we come (according to the ceo and pandodaily)

I do not agree - they never even got close to the point of this being a tech heavy logistics play. 26 order on v-day does not require much tech. Maybe some paper and pencil and a spreadsheet if you feel so inclined. I agree that if he got a ton of orders and had the market excited for it - he might have failed from a logistics problem of not being able to serve the customer effectively, killing the brand.

well it's nice to know the lang.. mebbe ill take it or know it or have a cousin that speaks it.

where are you located? how can i contact you?

Local main language should be included?

I agree. It's most likely this or close to it.

The idea of a higher power is simply faith that life is good. many addicts have an auto response to everything in life as being shit, and this warps perception. Most non faith based people actually are quite faith based in that they believe things will work out well when they put their energy into it. That is faith. Many addicts do not have that innate understanding. The 12 steps is just a set of skills to obtain that world view.

right-o and altos. geez.

I used your software many a times... and similar trajectory. so fun. should all meet in nyc at the citicorp (old 2600 meeting spot) one day.... and start a startup together.

who here was on lutzifer/qsd etc?

Sure, send me a note: adam at lookbooks.com

I have a few startups with funding right after a great exit in NYC - and would love to engage a passionate team like yours. We are technical, lean, design and brand focussed. More b2b->consumer however. How do I message you?

did you bring those clients? why arnt you getting a commission then? you should be participating more than 20k. Why is 1% of profits only 20k anyway? and again to clarify, as another poster said - if profits are low because of growth - and you are there for growth - your deal should be in actual equity not just a profit percentage. you are there supporting the growth, you need the upside. that is the case. otherwise go elsewhere. cognitive dissonance is a bitch. you arnt being valued to what you think your value is.

OK if there is a new product being designed off your core role - if you want more money - you need to engage yourself in more of a leadership role.

Do you have ideas of what will make success in this? And how you can build a team/organize the current parts and execute something FASTER? That will drive reveneue/market share/xxx quicker? Remember, the faster something is created (in a lean point of view) - the higher chance of success. Can you help up the % chance of success. If that is the case, present that case in a concise way from a business logic point of view, the details of the code/engineering are irrelevant at this point. And tie your compensation or ownership to executing this plan, and start thinking about Why, and Value to the business. Until you do that, you don't really deserve more money - as someone else is doing that thinking for you. Until you can understand the actual value to the bottom line you bring and Why things should happen - you are just a cog in a wheel. Maybe a really big important cog, but it's not even remotely close to your machine that you are a cog in. Make it yours, present it and convince them you can take a load off his mind. Then you can share in the executive pay. If you want more money as an engineer, you may have hit the glass ceiling here, and should join an org (google type) that rewards it's engineers in this way. And I mean think about the spirit of this rant - just start communicating from a value point of view (value in terms of bringing lift to the business in faster more meaningful concrete ways) - and things probably will change. Or you will leave and start something new because it's actually really fun to mix engineering skills with business building skills. ;) Go read ben horowitz's new book, might give you some light on your ceo's behavior.
