Isn't that Instagram scraper (https://instaloader.github.io/) against their Terms of Use? Insta really locked down their API so I assume they won't look too kindly on this. (although it doesn't require login so they can't really punish accounts)

Zuckerberg is very happy to bend/break the rules and abuse his customers when it suits him, so screw him. These aren't instagram's images anyway - they're the images of the people who painted them, and the people who photographed them.

Great way to get a piece of a company which is unable to get adequate funding from VCs (who at this point are funding almost anything anyway)

Moving towards the model where a portion of early VC investment goes straight into the pocket of the founders and early employees, as bird has done.

If I've built a company with an implied valuation of 200 million, why can't I bank a couple of million for a rainy day?

I've heard VC's state with a straight face that this is a misalignment of incentives.. apparently if the founder is financially comfortable they aren't "hungry".. this from a venture capitalist who is guaranteed a juicy carry whatever happens to their fund I find this insulting.

Medicine seems like a technological wasteland. They put "notes" into text boxes and call it "using computers".

I wish I had both CS/SE experience and Medical experience so that I could understand what keeps this field in the 1970s. I have suspicions.

I'm a Dr who has just quit my specialist job for the 2nd time to pursue a startup.

You'd think I'd do something medical - I've been in the field 10 years, I should have been able to find a problem IT can address?

To be honest the thought of doing a health IT startup just fills me with dread.

Has there been any precedent of patients saying to the hospital at the start of a visit "I agree to pay 1.5x the medicare reimbursement rate and no more, if you don't agree to this I will go to the next hospital"?
