Because it gets old listening to the same tired uninformed troupes from some random person on the internet that is just regurgitating misinformation.

For people that actually live in San Francisco this is a real issue that affects our daily lives. Having some random person spreading more incorrect info is insulting and actually potentially harmful to the people that actually live here and have to pay those rents like I do.

That does not mean the funds did not come from overseas. It is common that it will be passed through a local resident, by way of LLC, for the actual purchase.

On the topic of polite society, please be mindful that the word “entitlement” is often used to attack and harm others emotionally.

It might be more inclusive to chose something like “expectation” or “assumption”.

I think this is a strange thing to hear from being a bit older. 30-40 years ago, most people did not spend their time reading the paper and watching TV.

There was vastly more time spent interacting directly with friends and family as well as hobbies and interests that were not consuming media. It was much more common for people to stop by, often unannounced and hang out and talk for several hours. Just talking in person was very popular. Also, people spent much more time on errands and house tasks. It was very rare to have landscapers or housekeepers. This was before dishwashers and people rarely ate out. So cooking and cleaning were common. Super cheap goods from China had not yet arrived so maintenance on things around the house was more common than replacement.

This isn’t at all to be taken as things were better, or worse, it is simply to relay that people did a lot more than consume media and communicate electronically.

Idk. I think your comment sums up a general change that internet based interaction has created. I used to think it was generational but now I think it has more to do with spending most of your socializing online as opposed to in person.

In person interaction naturally flows towards gratitude. Online interactions, like the one I’m having right now feels disposable. I don’t see your face and we can’t form much human connection.

This leads to an online world of shallow interactions that leave us feeling alone an empty. Much like what happens to people that live in large dense cities.

Our online interactions are so shallow, we feel it is the responsibility a product we are buying to facilitate a particular form of interaction as opposed to simply taking it upon ourselves to do it.

It very much was the point. Thank you.

This is trumpeted around and actually put into production every once in a while.

The reason opaque pagination is an antipattern is because you can’t optimistically fetch resources.

So your customer, the person that paying you for your product, needs to wait for some number of synchronous reads.

With non-opaque offsets these can be done in parallel. If the typical request requires 4 pages, these can be done 4 at a time and of it is less than 4 pages those can be discarded.

This is a clever hack that ends up being user hostile in actual practice. Remember APIs are designed for the benefit of the consumer vs the benefit of the maintainers.

I always make a copy and then share that when I’m ready. This is the only method I’m aware of to remove history.

We’ve seen Facebook employment ads already used to specifically target younger people.

It’s more about excluding people from advertising as opposed to including. If you think of it from that angle it won’t take too much imagination to see the issues that may arise.

It’s interesting as an older person to realize that Americans born in the 90s and later have no real concept of the amount of crime and violence that was widespread in US.

I don’t know if you can still delete this, but this is way too specific and way too many people read HN for your co-founder to not see this.

I would email dang at [email protected] to see if they can at least delete the body of this post.

Please seek legal advice and the personal advice of contact you can trust that has angel investment experience if you have one.

The reason this is happening right now is because the other founder is well aware of that cliff and losing 10% going forward.
