Love it! I like the bash implementation for bare minimum on the dependencies

"pw" a simple perl script that prints a random password. default length is 16 chars but if I do "pw 8" it will return an 8 char password

I use it all the time, at least a few times a week.

I wrote it because the secure passwords generated by iOS and various password managers are overkill for most purposes and extremely hard to type out by hand to an airgapped destination

I wrote the code that puts headers on USA federal court documents (PDFs). I see them all the time in the real world and still get a kick out of them

This year Instacart hired Goldman Sachs banker Nick Giovanni to be their CFO. He led multiple companies through a direct listing IPO, all from the banker side.

Interesting, right?

I'm surprised the Reuters article didn't mention this. I guess everyone is busy.

tradier.com API is free if you keep an account there. I do this and it is handy for many things.

I've used pushover for this as well. Nice perk: on iOS at least you can easily define a custom image and sound to go along with your message. This is FUN to use.

My company spent precious developer hours this week 'fixing' old intranet websites that recently started giving Chrome 'insecure' warnings on internal links. HTTP is definitely not a risk in this scenario. And PG's website is not a risk either.

Google's war on http is misguided, dumb, and wasteful.

One way to do so via a public company is to invest in: TriplePoint Venture Growth BDC Corp. (TPVG)

They make late stage investments in private companies. Read a few of their quarterly reports to get an idea of their recent deals.

There is no reliable way I know of to cherry-pick individual companies like AirBnB unless you are an accredited investor.

Many private companies are staying private for longer, with an average time from launch to IPO creeping up toward 10 years or more. Most unaccredited investors are missing all of those substantial early gains.

Does LTSE have any plans to help speed the path to IPO and let more unaccredited investors participate in early growth and success?

To clarify on the FundersClub recommendation: don't do individual YC company deals, do the rollup funds like this:

Accelerate FC XIX: Y Combinator W18 Fund targeting investments in ~10-15 top startups in the Y Combinator Winter 2018 Batch.
