I am surprised there is no discussion of alternative readers like Onyx Boox, which allow infinite customization through Android OS. Remarkable is a closed ecosystem with no third party apps.

Seems like the dataset behind this article is for founders who have built businesses with $5K MRR and above. $60K revenue (and $20K profit @ 33% margin) is a fairly low bar, so it is not surprising to see solo founders create 2.5X more businesses that clear this bar.

My question after reading this article is, do these solo founders manage to grow their business as large as founding-teams? How many solo founder businesses cross the $50M revenue mark?

How many people do you have on your team?

Hi Peter, what is your macro view on immigration trajectory in the coming years? Do you expect the hurdles and wait-times to keep getting bigger, or do you expect a softening should the presidency change hands?

Doctors vs Software Engineers are very interesting case studies in my eyes.

AMA (American Medical Association) has successfully lobbied congress to cap residencies at 100K a year, essentially restricting supply. Foreign doctors have to go through a gauntlet of exams, tests, and licenses that keeps market from being flooded with cheaper talent and diluting local doctor salaries.

Software Engineers have failed to unite like this, so the MS+FAANGs and consulting companies have lobbied for free flow of cheap labor under the guise of innovation. There are no board certifications, no licensing exams, and no restrictions on supply. This is why software salaries have been artificially suppressed for two decades.

Furthermore, downloading the Ethereum Blockchain, going through shady exchanges to buy ether coins, and maintaining a secure wallet is a much bigger headache than simply paying for Amazon Prime.

This is a nice tech demo but not of any practical significance.

Software libraries, APIs, tools, dependencies have exploded exponentially since the early days of C language and a handful of Berkley/Bell libraries. I often use a dozen different things for my projects and the next project invariable needs a different roster.

Thus I want to voice my contrary opinion that it is okay to "consume" and not "create" for non-core parts of your project. Need to do dump an arcane data structure to a remote logging tool? Go ahead and copy paste that StackExchange snippet kings!

Some sincere feedback: LVT sounds a cooky concept that might solve inherited / ossified land ownership problem in the UK, but it seems to have little relevance to the USA. Land is plentiful here.

LVT might also reward families with liquid assets, while burdening lower-income families whose main asset is their house.

I read through the entire pitch and I still don't understand what is special about Polar. There are a ton of apps that do all this and more in no particular order:

1) Xodo Reader 2) Liquid Text 3) Margin Notes 3 (AWESOME) 4) KOReader (Open source) And several dozen more...

Great project! I just found out that one creepy Safari extension is crawling every URL I visit.

Also Yahoo Slurp is crawling my email URLs. Sigh.
