  2. why should they have to share those private APIs?
  3. > most common language a computer engineer

    Depends on your definition of a computer engineer. Dealing with strings in Python vs. dealing with character arrays in C is a world of a difference.

    The decision to use Python feels like a solid compromise between giving the students a stair step to applied computer science work, while stripping away the cruft and language-specifics that would distract from implementing the more theoretical learning material

  4. more like privacy as an excuse for crippled models
  5. as opposed to putting it on their store as people have done for 10+ years?
  6. Mermaid looks pretty for most applications and is quite easy to work with, but it starts to feel limited once you start playing with sequence diagrams. Had to bit the bullet and go with PlantUML instead for the time being, but rooting for Mermaid to gain a fuller feature set so I can fully move to it
  7. This got me through my electrical engineering degree and studying for EE interviews. Still use it whenever I need to brush up on op-amp math
  8. what's the incentive not to speed if it only costs less than 1% of your income/net worth?

    the risk to everyone else around you is the same regardless of how much you make

  9. How does this compare to SendWave?

    Also, what's your strategy around combating fraud?

  10. curious, why did you switch, and what exactly do you do now?
  11. I'm curious, what big pluses have you found on Gemini vs. Coinbase?
  12. Hm, wonder if this reasoning explains the bump in Ethereum, even though it's more legit than some of the other alt coins
  13. I'd love to see this data but for men vs women
  14. >In my experience, it’s harder to have any visible growth in a startup because well first, what do you grow to? There is no clear hierarchy, no promotion paths. The “no titles” thing is great in theory but unless you have a naturally dominating personality, it likely won't work for you.

    That's because you're basing growth on titles instead of actual capability.

  15. curious what your equity was?
  16. I'm looking at joining a seed-stage startup straight out of college as #8. What would be a good range for equity?
  17. Why do the controllers have rings?
