Does anyone know if Y Combinator provides good feedback when sending out rejections . The best way to learn anything is to try , but I want more than ' Better luck next year'
I agree with the activist spirit! But you have to realize that the incentives of legislators are to first create a strong economy and to maintain the dominance of the US tech sector. If you come to them with a plan that will seriously harm their operations then you won’t even get a meeting.
You need to self regulate though and assume all data you give these companies will be sold. At this point unless it's ride sharing , apps don't get my location. If they means I can't use the apps, that's fine.
It wouldn't be the worst thing if tommorow Social Media was effectively banned. It's done enough wrong in the world
If you start making everyone suspicious of doing business with US, that dominance will slow fade away as each market tries their home grown alternatives.
Yes they will suck during the first years, get barely enough customers to survive, but eventually they will get there with enough perseverance.
The current administration is only making everyone aware that the globalisation days are over.
Another benefit of Religion is community. I recall back when we went to Church we had tons of people who took the time to reach out when things weren't going well.
That's easily the difference between being an isolated island of a person, miserable thinking the world is against you. Or being a bit down, and getting a hand up.
Completely agree. It's frustrating to see so many people dismiss the value of a religion when it has the potential to offer so many benefits. Of course there's plenty of dogma but what we've replaced religion with does not seem to be significantly better.
Take nothing personally. The good or the bad. Build a community. You NEED friends that you get to hang out with every now and then . This online stuff doesn't count.
One of the more rewarding experiences I had last year was attending Meetups with people significantly older than myself.
The older you get , the harder making friends becomes. It's so bad I'd suggest to comp sci majors to consider a Liberal Arts degree instead if they're having trouble socializing.
>Tinder settled a $23 million class-action age discrimination lawsuit—filed on behalf of some 230,000 people—in January last year, after it was alleged that the company charged users over 30 twice as much for its subscription services. As part of the settlement, Tinder agreed to stop charging people located in California, where the case was filed, different prices based on their age.
If I was King, I'd say this is perfectly fine as long as The Match Group ( Tinder's parent) clearly states the pricing tiers somewhere. My personal opinion is most people are better served by deleting their apps and being more involved in their community.
That said, this is downright illegal in most counties. You can't charge people different prices based on protected classes. It's like having a grocery store charge older people more since they tend to spend more time in the store.
Match's former parent IAC just spun them off. I reckon they know it's about to fall apart.
Anyway, I know I constantly meet better people once I went social media free. I'm much happier as well. Life is too short to spend it talking to bots on an app.
This seems to have become a lot more difficult in the post-app world. Nobody has their head up anymore. Also, I think only low match count people actually meet anybody on these apps. Something to think about if you’re frustrated.
I recall once a co worker said they'd never use Android again since it froze when trying to call 911.
Gives Apple more ammo in their fight against Epic, users expect their phones to work , which Apple can't guarantee if anyone can run whatever binary they find.
Well, to pick some nits, if radio waves didn't work the same way, that would be a pretty fundamental shift in physics, to the point of throwing all our assumptions out the window about our observational evidence.
I'm fairly experienced and I still can't throw up an HTTP server in Rust, even with libraries.
I almost can do in with NodeJS and Express from memory.
Something like
app = require('express')
app.listen('/', function ( req, res ){ res.send (' Hi Hn') }) ;
It's ok for different languages to do different things.
I can't imagine anyone being faster with Rust than Python or JS. Of course eventually Rust gets a performance boost, but it's never going to matter unless you're talking about a larger scale project.
I would complaint about Rust as well, but setup a HTTP server in Rust is actually not that hard if you accept the fact that you'll have to use third-party framework. Then, the HTTP server will come to alive in within 20 lines of code.
But, of course, the demo code is always easy. The real nightmare starts as soon as your application became complex enough, that the demo no longer fit and you need to manually spawn something (To handle TCP connection before it hits the framework for example) rather than just "actix_web::main" or "tokio::main".
Maybe it's been fixed , but when I tired Rocket last year I couldn't get it to really work.
I would like Flutter to take over since it combines the best of Java /C# ( types) with the best of JavaScript/ Python ( dynamic variables which can be any type ).
I spent a few hours reading the book, but it didn't sink in. I will be honest, though: Rust is still very challenging for me. The learning curve is extremely steep. Perhaps it's because Rust makes some things easy, at the expense of what automatic memory management and runtime type metadata make easy?
