Tangentially related, but this made me think of Aristotle's teachings on technology effectively as a "prosthesis" or non-biological way to evolve. Even back then, being able to record trade deals, journal, and so on enabled folks to offload some of their brain capacity. Today, we can consider the smartphone as an extension of our brain.

Of course, it is important to note that I am trying to discuss these neutrally and do believe that there are negative repercussions of offloading too much from our brains onto these devices, particularly if it results in relying on social media dopamine hits and news articles to tell folks what to think...

+1, the issue here is not that errors can occur but instead how a company responds. It’s tough to be sympathetic to leaders in a company that were aware of the errors and then took no action for years to remedy it, particularly as the error resulted in overcharging customers.

Is it Anglicized, or is it just using that Latin alphabet that some parts of former Yugoslavia employ (including Serbia and Croatia)?

Can you explain why you think they are not going to be forced to remain in “wartime?”

Which market cap? The one that was set by investors during the last round and has already been more than halved?

But stackoverflow asked users to provide an email address for the gift card as part of the survey.
Speaking from my past experience when running surveys like this at a startup, you are given the option to get a claim code to send to your customers, or to provide their emails for a one-off direct gift card message. The latter was safer because there is no handling of sensitive financial info (a live gift card code is effectively cash).

I genuinely say this because I want to be helpful and not because I am trying to be snarky:
Search past HN posts and even Google the topic. People have written a lot about this, and nothing that will be said here will be any more useful without more context on your situation...
If you really want feedback to YOUR post on HN, I’d say to rewrite it with more context on your idea, background, and what you are looking for in a co-founder (skillset, money?, location, commitment, etc.).

With IPO rumors existing for at least 4 years and a price under $2B, is this a good exit for the company’s leadership and employees? (Understanding that an exit is better than nothing at all!)
