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 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'.
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.
