I'm a System Administrator by day, YC Lurker by night. I love learning about startups, startup culture & what motivates people mostly because I can't be bothered to come up with something so awesome & useful as the rest of you. :(

Any good recommended reading?

Fewer than 1,000? To be honest, even before AI, I'm surprised it ever got more than 50 or a 100 in some StackExchanges. It was on borrowed time especially after reading a lot about the moderator drama/issues.

I've never played this game, neat! But with all this decompiling, maybe someone will make an open source, neat sequel to Math for the Real world? that would be cool.

The best thing in my opinion is using the TurboTax Desktop software, installing it on a VM and spinning that up only when you need to do taxes. The import/export relies on tax files from the previous season, but they seem to essentially be slightly encrypted archives.

What do you mean when you say 'formalize'? I mean, a full tax document is just each form with each 'line' as an entry by itself and then at the end, all the calculations get performed against that.

Admittedly I don't really know about dutch/some other regions -- could you expand on that?

Modifying existing PDFs in my limited experience is to make some changes or remove security or add a stamp and it make it seem official.

reading these comments are so interesting to me. I would've thought a video is a video, but I guess maybe there's some codec settings behind the scenes? On Firefox, I get the washout. On Brave/Chrome, it looks normal.

  I resigned a year ago, L65. The service I worked on was 5 engineers, within a few months’ time it was just me. Was always rated a 140 come connect season.
How did this system work?

>My Spanish teacher was a Colombiana and she always pointed out the innate patriarchal traits of the Spanish language while rolling her eyes.

Was the eye roll part of the sarcasm or...? Colombian and other related Spanish speaking cultures do the same things, so what's her point, to feel like she's sticking it to the invisible spanish dude?

Just a small suggestion but... maybe re-record your demo without giant floodlights on your desk? :(

I think there's a difference between a standard PDF viewer and basic functionality, vs a full PDF authoring suite like Adobe. For some of the basic features in one of the comments, I'm not quite sure how tried and tested tools that are simple like Foxit PDF don't fit the bill for most things. Unless you're trying to process gobs of PDFs in headless mode or do some sort of analysis... eh.

Sometimes, the essence of a story and end goals has more value than the actual finding and story itself. Most us probably don't know this is part of a documented feature, and this is the first time I'm hearing of SmartThings integration. I'm still not quite sure what the point of these detection are.

Please god stop making the x to close windows on the middle or the left. Majority of people who using computers are using Linux or Windows where it's on the upper right and it's a muscle memory. You aren't being clever or helping. I get that in some cases you may want people to read the information you have and pause a bit more, but it just irritates me and does not make me want to engage with whatever it is if I have to waste so much more time closing every window as a result. It literally wastes an exponential amount of time.

If this was an installable, moddable game, this would be cool. Further, I'm not sure why they could not add this as an existing module or feature within SimCity 3000 itself. It's a nice little wanna be clone. But playing a browser game just doesn't feel like a game.
