  1. fyi your email alias is not working
  2. This thread really shows how unhinged the community is. Dude hired contract killers and ran the most prolific darkweb forum for whatever. He's not some martyr. He's just a bum.

    I've been something like a Hardware T/PM for 10 years for big tech. Making hardware, managing hardware, budgeting and financing hardware, writing software to manage process, creating PMO, lots of 0 to 1 projects. If you have some big ambiguous difficult job to fill I'm interested.

  4. Report to AG, if a company doesn't incentivize its staff to be legally compliant its a risk to the business
  5. "it applies to any entity (any person, business, or organization) that collects or processes personal data from any person in the European Union"

    It should

  6. Being older has its advantages. You have a lot more "common" sense, but not all older people do, some have kept emotional debt, trauma, various things that can hold them up from getting product market fit, leading teams and organizations, dealing with having a lot or not a lot of money, etc. If I recall, uncited, from my evening, later-in-life MBA program, the more successful startup founders/cofounders/etc are all in their late 30's and 40's. Weeds out the kids, you're serious. Staring at a seed round of VC's with life partners, spouses, kids, whatever you have in life that you're trying to maintain and help support, those are good things. VC that want to weed you out are definitely not worth it.

    Leaving work to pursue a startup should only happen when you can prove well enough to VC's you're accreting revenues just barely worth investing in (to very worth investing in). If you're sane, I would wait until you can't move forward without some seed/VC and then look around for it- starting with people you know, and familiarize yourself with how funding/ownership/etc works.

    You don't need to go through ycombinator, although its very worthwhile, you can just run a startup on the side or quit your job once its up and running.

    If your startup is a unicorn, maybe wait a year before quitting your job, so the job market is ripping again when you fail :)

  7. All my vet friends need this. Veterinary medicine suicide rate is pretty high.
  8. I feel like if you advertise this to the various "Mechanical Keyboard" communities they'd lose their shit in a positive way. r/mechanicalkeyboard is a main public one
  9. This is the correct response
  10. Beat them to upping the burn rate by.. a lot, until neither of you own anything.

    Everyone needs financial controls and financial accountability. No one should be able to spend without cosigners. If you set that up early, it will be in your company's blood. If you don't, you will ALWAYS have a culture of wastage.

  11. Posts like this remind me most of HN just likes to hear itself talk. Health conspiracy, incorrect information, linking posts to incorrect information...
  12. Report the mailscarp/mailscrap/etc domains to spam trackers everywhere
  13. My first salaried job was 34k not that long ago. I make loads more but still. Grads deserve better pay than that especially in M/HCOL cities. Hell everyone does.
  14. Updates that Apple, or anyone (Microsoft etc) pushes to customers has been internally tested for a while on different rings of risk. People who write the code run it relentlessly to start to catch all the issues and then start pushing out updates to varying pools of people who can take those small bits of risk of a bug here or there, and poke holes in it. Once it reaches the company's QC metrics it is pushed outside. Pushing out bad updates ruins your credibility, companies are incentivized not to do so. Updating your computing devices as soon as public updates are made is vital to your own security/safety.
  15. Having met some truly great axe-persons in the C suite over the years I toy with the idea of making it my retirement plan, as in taking ambitious but ingloriously unpopular roles crafting and executing M&A in hard tech. Former MBA profs I've worked with in school do consulting on this for these execs and its fascinating but not sure where I'd cut my teeth outside of seeking mentorship with folks engaging in those and not just regular M&A.

    I'm not trying to be the faker tho

    Prefer FT remote but in person some % is fine, happy to help the transitions of teams to partial/full remote in hardware, been managing remotely as well as traveling globally for some time.

    I like organized, accountable leadership in companies, and would love to be a part of implementing that where my talents can help, prefer working public over private. Board leadership experience in nonprofit as well as founding a few and management thereof, in food equity and job skilling for underserved populations.

    I am a bulldog and get shit done :) Love people and enjoy smoothing rough terrain in high performing teams through building up, not tearing down.
