I turned off windows update quite a while ago and was considering updating my system recently until now.

I'm on version 1703

Build: 15063.138

Why would I ever update now?

Just so you know, I googled Meraki and got this: https://www.meraki.com/

My opinion is that having number based user accounts is fine as long as you don't provide any access to them in any of your request parameters.

They should be safely maintained server side, within sessions, and any request for other user's details is done via their username.

My last point is that a user should never be able to find out their user id #.

If you allow users to change their username, then you put the responsibility in the users hands to update their external links.

Eg. If I change my twitter handle, I have no idea how many places I have that referenced - so I just don't do it (not sure if you even can change it at will actually)

Yes. I did a masters in computer science, and realised I do not want to be an office person either. It doesn't make me feel fulfilled. I want to actually help people, not help companies make money. I since started studying again and did the medical school entrance exam equivalent in my country and got a borderline acceptable score on my first go. I find out early August I have a place or not starting September (4 more years of studying).

I think it's the speed (meaning larger is slower) judging by the sub-title

    We do `fast`

Or else it's a measure of pain, less being better

My guess is those with > $1B in valuations

To answer OPs original question, the answer is you can't know for sure.

As interesting as it would be to know, it doesn't really provide any value to even find out the answer anyway.

Ahh I see, makes sense. Never really put much thought into that, appreciate it! Thanks

I can speak from experience as I've been through this. Although my co-founder and I never actually argued/quarreled. I even decided to leave before we got funded (€50k) as I was sure there was no substance to our product. Over a year later and I am glad to believe I still made the right decision.

I thought about it for around a week (how I would do the break up) - I only really ever broke up with one girlfriend in the past and that was hard, even at 15.

We went for a coffee and I'm pretty sure he knew it was coming. Much respect to him. He knew I was confident in my decision and didn't try to persuade me to stay (and muster and broil resentment in the future as humans typically do).

He was still adamant about pursing the startup regardless of having no technical skills (I was the developer, and it was only two of us). I helped him get the funding and promised to do a code swap with any new developer that comes in; in return for being washed free of the startup - regardless of funding (which I didn't want to touch).

No new developer came on board needless to say, and I never asked him what he did with the money. We are still friends and meet from time to time to catch up.

We had previously discussed 50/50 equity split, but when I walked away I said I wanted to be totally free of it. It wasn't about the money, life is long and it's not a race to get the most money.

I was going to say 'to get rich', but richness can be found even in chocolate so I don't agree with calling people with a lot of money 'rich'.

Do you mean to say that I should introduce a framework?

Does anyone know if there is anything like this available in Europe?

Bonus points for Ireland/UK related

Appreciate it!

I'd agree. Buying BTC based on public interest would be too late.

I believe the public interest is sparked by the price - which is perhaps later adding additional additional price hikes sure - but the correlation is not public interest to price; I think it's the opposite, price to public interest.

Price drops - so will public interest.

Just a quick question about some copy on your website, you might be unaware this is even on there but the text for your VAT stuff (pricing related) is a little hard to understand.

    .... Additional VAT charges are added to purchases made by customers from the European Union, except for customers from the European Union, but outside of Germany, who provide a valid VAT ID. Businesses from outside the European Union are not charged with VAT.

I understand where you are coming from, really, I do. My eyes are strained too and I recently got a Kindle (purposely without the backlight) and it is amazing. I'd recommend to give it a try - but I can't really speak for the backlit versions.

Start weightlifting to increase serotonin levels.

My eyes started twitching - I needed glasses so watch out for this.

When you use a screen, you blink less. Actually try to blink more. Also look away and focus on far away objects - the usual tips.

The last tip I find that works is close your eyes gently while sitting down, and tense your whole body, as much as you can. Even your glutes, activate as many muscles as you can while keeping your eyes as un-flexed stressed as possible.

My eyes feel much better after doing this. I think I read this some time ago, and your body is using energy elsewhere - while relaxes the muscles not needed (around your eyes) and it feels amazing.

Good Luck!

That is pure genius. Some very forward thinking there.
