I did the same thing for the same reason and I'm still finding songs in my mp3 collection with long strings of nulls in them. They only spent a year on XFS but that, plus a flaky display driver, did quite some damage. Luckily I kept my less bulky files on an ext2 partition and they were fine.

And that's the point of why it is considered a miracle. Transmission of the Quran has always been orally and will continue to be. The general meaning is preserved within the text, however, the correct recitation(s) are not.

You can't pick up the Quran and expect to be reciting it correctly.

One of the main developers of the Yahoo weather app is a gigster (developer on the platform). The statement is that it was built by "one of our gigsters" and is intended to showcase the quality of work developers on Gigster have done. Had that developer been on Odesk or TapFame they would have listed Yahoo Weather as part of their portfolio. In this case they actually do list it as part of their portfolio. Definitely do not intend to take away from your hard work and appreciate you for it. Happy to do better in making this clearer but it's a bit unfair to imply that we cant showcase the work of developers on our platform as an indicator of developer quality.
You had an idea and now you want to jump in and build. Take some time to research and analyze first. There are plenty of find-a-cofounder websites out there. Have you figured out what the typical experience is for their users? Have you talked to any of them or been through the process yourself?

I try not to rely on one storage device: assume it will have issues and implement accordingly. Yet, I've had audio issues with some files on XFS partitions. I didn't investigate further to see what it was but it is interesting that you said that. Might be an issue there.

EDIT to add: check your hard disks and OS's you plug them into, too. I lost a ton of data once over a bug in a driver that looked like a filesystem bug but had nothing to do with it. Several layers where issues can pop up but aren't obvious from their results.
Yeah F this, I'm not going to bother reading this if they can't bother composing it in a coherent way. Whatever it is, certainly isn't important enough for me to bother.

I mostly used lowest common denominator of it with backups, clusters, and so on. Any other issues I countered with storage design and recovery procedures. I often did recovery around once a week or month to prevent silent buildup of issues. So, there might be issues I'm not aware of but it worked fine almost every time.

Another commenter mentioned audio skips which happened to maybe a handful of my own files out of GB of music. Could be one of those issues or a quirk with that commenter's setup.
I wonder if this is truly founder friendly. Pro rata is a right given, and 7% changes a lot of the calculus when doing a round that is probably 20% to begin with. Hopefully this goes along with YC asking for less equity, or some other allowance. (IMO, most incubators already ask for much more than they're worth, though YC obviously being a bit different.)
So you assert. Even if true it's meaningless.
Great UX with amazing mobile experience!
All of this is true; however, at the end of the day, it still seems bothersome that me voting and me not voting has the exact same outcome. It won't affect anything. Even if I care who wins.

Some people say, "well, if everyone who thought like you voted instead, they could make a difference." Okay, fine, you're right, I'll vote instead then. I do, and it's still logically equivalent to not voting.

I mean, obviously we should all vote, but it just always seemed weird to me that society relies on everyone performing an individually inconsequential action.

Team Reveals Text From Damaged Scroll
I don't think that's a viable strategy. If it were, Lyft would be successfully deploying it.

Namely, I see 3 primary flaws:

1. A marginally lower price is not by itself enough to achieve market penetration. If it takes 5-10 minutes longer to get a ride on your platform (due to fewer drivers), I'm not going to use it—even if you are 20% cheaper (wiping out Uber's entire margin).

2. You're ignoring the pooling savings which come from being able to easily coordinate shared rides due to a huge installed rider base.

3. Uber can spend you into the ground. They have a massive war chest and continued huge revenue from their mature markets—enough to undercut you until you run out of oxygen.

The biggest flaw of these 3 is that I just don't think price alone is sufficient to overcome network effects. If it were, the $100+ vouchers which I see also-ran competitors giving out would have made a dent in Uber's market share.

Competing against Uber in even a single city would require hundreds of millions in capital to basically buy your entire network overnight, and once you succeed in that market you'll enjoy less profitability than Uber does today.

There's a reason that crappy marketplaces like Ebay and Craigslist are incredibly sticky—networks are overwhelming.

A monopolist doesn't have to make its moat unbreachable, it just needs to be insufficiently profitable to overcome.

The only possible risk I see to Uber is from corrupt politicians.

Facebook’s legal team goes after defunct Yale class project
"It is widely considered a war crime"

Evidence? Whether allied strategic bombing of Germany/Japan was a "war crime" is partly a legal / technical question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crime#Definition

In regard to the strategic bombing during World War II, it should be noticed that at the time, there was no international treaty or instrument protecting a civilian population specifically from attack by aircraft,[34] therefore the aerial attacks on civilians were not officially war crimes. Because of this, the Allies at the trials in Nuremberg and Tokyo never prosecuted the Germans, including Luftwaffe commander-in-chief Hermann Göring, for the bombing raids on Warsaw, Rotterdam, and British cities during the Blitz as well as the indiscriminate attacks on Allied cities with V-1 flying bombs and V-2 rockets nor the Japanese for the aerial attacks on crowded Chinese cities.[35]

I came here to say the same thing. In a sentence, you might say "X is conjugated by Y", although "file-writing conjugated by file opening" sounds a bit odd. If an operation X is unchanged by conjugation of an operation Y, you say Y commutes with X.

It's a lot easier to escalate a binary drop into a persistent threat if it can reflash the BIOS with compromised firmware. Requiring firmware be signed prevents this, at the cost of also preventing the use of coreboot, libreboot et al.

In theory, it should be possible to support user flashing of unsigned firmware, perhaps in some sort of OS-less boot mode that malware couldn't use. But offering that capability without it being a backdoor is costly and effortful enough that I don't really blame motherboard manufacturers for declining to do so on behalf of a rather niche use case.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.

Take a look at the restaurant business. When you open a new restaurant, working from before opening to after closing every day is not atypical, even when you are selling something people want and have hired the right people. Going months without a day off is unsurprising. It may not be praiseworthy, but it's not something to look down your nose at either. Its just solid, honest hard work that's required to establish a restaurant from scratch. And if the restaurant is successful enough for the owner to try starting a branch, then the owner is going to have to split his time between the two, thereby expecting all the profit from the first restraunt while being at the new restaurant a majority of the time to get it running. Is that rent seeking, or free money for past work? Perhaps you think so, but I don't agree, and likely most people would not agree either.

For sufficiently vague definitions of Earth. For the definitions being used in most of these sensationalized stories we've already got 2 more we know about, Venus and Mars, and I'm pretty sure if Mercury was picked up in another solar system we'd hear it described as "Earth-like" too, given some of the stuff that has been described that way. The "Earth-like" idea has been debased to uselessness in press releases like this.

Unless they announce that spectroscopy has revealed a lot of O2 in an atmosphere, at this point I'm primed to be pretty underwhelmed.

(And to be clear, I am specifically complaining about the debasing of the term "Earth-like" for PR purposes. The science and discoveries are as incredible as ever, no matter what garbage PR terms are used to describe them in process releases.)
Sorry, I agree with the OP. I interpreted the "Success Stories" page, especially when it is sub-titled "Our prior work speaks for itself" as referring to the work performed through Gigstar. There is a difference between allowing somebody to claim work they performed versus assigning that claim to the body that employs them after the fact. This example, just because of the lack of clarity, presents itself as the latter which is a little unfair in itself.
Lying is generally considered lack of integrity.

Integrity: "I like your offer a lot" (but then something actually changed, and I don't sign).

Have you ever debugged something? Have you ever read code that wasn't written by you?
This is both an amazing responsibility for you and a heavy responsibility. You will have the opportunity -- perhaps for the only time in your working life -- to not only have complete control over the technical solution, but if you are pro-active you may also have a say in the building the product, coming up with ideas for features.

On the downside, you won't have access to any senior technical personnel in the company to guide you or get you out of hot water. To mitigate this you will need to invest heavily in your continued technical education, which could mean buying learning materials or subscriptions to online courses and tutorials; at least, it means taking the time to do things right, to research thoroughly any new techniques or technologies you think the company needs.

While always striving to improve and to listen to your customers, you also need to have confidence in yourself and your technical decisions. It doesn't mean that you can't (or won't need to) compromise but it does mean projecting a professional image of yourself to your colleagues and customers. Obviously, the more you learn and the more experience you acquire, the more confidence you can bring to the role.

At the end of the day, like with any job, you should be willing to pack up and walk away if the situation becomes intolerable (as long as you leave things in a professional state).

But don't forget -- you are in the position right now that most programmers dream of. We started off wanting to just write programmes and build products for people who had the confidence in us to just let us do our thing; but then we found ourselves pidgeon-holed into roles predefined for us by IT departments. A complete programmer is like a complete painter, he should have a say in the product at all stages of its development. That means having the freedom to not just cut code or write tests, but to influence the design, to dream up new features, to have discussions about the marketing.

To an extent this role is YOURS to define. Have the courage to define it and to enjoy defining it. It might be the last time in your career that you get to do that, if you ever move on.
