Regardless of GDPR, this is good in the short term. Organizations can comply with regulations (and ostensibly reduce market failures) or not comply and lose market share. If all regulations fell into the former camp we haven't tried enough strict regulations.
More generally I think a big problem with compliance is
1) Current business model practices. We don't know how all the ways to make money on the Internet because it hasn't been around that long so we just sell data/ads.
2) Technical limitations. The Internet is organized around centralized systems but this doesn't have to be the case. It's just hard to build a comparable decentralized system easily with the current tools.
This doesn't always work because lots of trackers use unique domains. I'd suggest using a different browser or installing a tracking removing extension.
This isnt a problem with SPAs per se, just a problem with the app's design.
You can split SPAs into multiple apps that communicate. The main app would be loaded on open and the rest of the source could be pulled in when needed.
React is not the cause of slow loads, your architecture is.
I'm in Seattle. HN isn't the best place to launch so I'm gonna keep quiet about what it does. :)
Today was a wild ride though. I was out in the main part of campus with my sign and talking to users. There weren't many people out so I decided to check out some of the booths that were there. Guess what? One was a startup that is doing something VERY similar to what I'm doing. And they have over 500 users. I'm late to market.
Reed Hastings once said when attacked, double down on what you do well. Time to double down. And f*ing hustle! Suffice it to say, I'm no longer on campus.
I am a single founder Atlas company with an app that I've been working on for a while now. I'm sitting in Starbucks waiting for Apple to open so I can charge my phone and go to a nearby college campus to get my first users. I don't know anyone here so this is a tall task. I'm going to collect AT LEAST 100 "no's" today. Wish me luck
Also Ether is just a sound investment. They're willing to make hard forks which allows the protocol to be updated (an no one seems to care). Bitcoin has trouble with that and it can only sustain so many BTC/XBT and Bitcoin Cashes. First mover is not always a good thing! Not to mention lots leaving circulation because its such a new thing.
Everything you're good at they shouldn't be and everything they're good at you shouldn't be.
Startups are an exercise in risk mitigation and cofounders mitigate your intrinsic/personal risk. (Every human has flaws.)
VCs and angels often talk about team risk and how its better to have multiple (but not too many) founders. This is because every individual has flaws and founders offset each others. The team risk is the sum total of the founders intrinsic risk. To give yourself the best shot, find someone who will hold you while bombs are going off in the trenches but isn't totally like you. (Same reason why "diversity" is important)
That said culture is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING so you definitely have to be compatible.
Your wife is not like you, but you still love her. Find someone who is different but you can love through the hard times.
