- cbarnsdale 14y agoThis is absolutely fair to point out. In many ways we try and act as "cool finders", and we do post a lot of hilariously expensive gear and gadgets, however... I think it's reasonable that people can still appreciate the tech without plunging themselves into debt trying to acquire it. These (admittedly) frivolous things could be an incentive, or something for people to look forward to for working smartly, if that's what makes them happy.
- gnu8 14y agoPlenty of irony on that site. I liked the ad for a $300 discount card disguised as another article. Promises to let you live like a "founder" by buying high priced crap from Bonobo at a discount. Very well targeted for the ycombinator crowd. http://www.unfinishedman.com/founderscard-live-like-a-prince-pay-like-a-pauper/ http://www.unfinishedman.com/founderscard-live-like-a-prince...
