I was very surprised by this, but had the same experience. The sound is great for what a small device it is, and the stop/play/volume works great, but it can't find songs to save its life. It struggles with words that are ver

Not true. Bowing down symbolically to avoid an arbitrary fight and resulting loss of face is right at home in the playbook of somebody with real work to do elsewhere. Resolution, and apology, are not the same as submission.

Here's an internal facing one: We send an automated greeting from the CEO as part of onboarding, but he actually sees and replies to every customer response, in both english and spanish, and forwards the more heartwarming ones on to th

This is one of the saddest and most orwellian aspects of today's marketing. Even if you run a tight ship, your friends are bombarded with just as much force to give up not just their information, but yours as well, undermining your eff

Once this goes into effect, an easy and early move by the HN crowd would be a synopsis of how exactly to get your ISP to comply with this, and a draft letter that one could fill out and send. I'm also interested in ways to sidestep thi

Not just more likely, I flat out won't cold apply anywhere that doesn't have a range listed. I consider any company that isn't upfront about compensation as having something to hide. Note: if you do this, mandatory salary fie

This seems like a quick no - brick and mortar retail (what I take your title's "locations" to mean) exists only because sufficient information can't always be gathered online. Many people go to retail locations only to c

No. I had nothing "liked" and it will simply insert things that your friends like, which is typically awful, or things that it thinks are interesting to you based on your advertising profile (eg: like DJ gear? you should like guit

This is funny, because the only reason tinder values a facebook login is if users were robust facebook users pre-tinder (and thus easily verifiable as real people), so it's ultimately all for naught.

I think it's possible to be both. It's possible to recognize that your authentic voice is a valuable marketing asset, and thus be intentionally authentic while also intentionally marketing. This is ultimately the advice of a ton o

Great list - I had all of them growing up. Be mindful of the age though. My uncle (an IBM engineer) got me a breadboard/ciruit kit when I was way too young to understand it, and it was frustrating and turned me off of electronics for a

Sketch is less like photoshop and more like illustrator, with all the non-UI stuff shaved off. Sketch doesn't do nearly any of the advanced photo retouching stuff. It's mostly vector, mostly shapes. As flat UI gets more popular, s

Sketch is my personal favorite. Balsamiq can work and is commonly recommended, but IMO turn off the "hand drawn" effects. They're great for demoing rough things to clients in a way that says "this isn't final",

My understanding is that there are also algos at work, for example posts that are very young but have many comments fall faster, as a way to negate flame wars.

"Talk to users" and the surrounding processes/changes/workflows. There's no such thing as "too deep" on this. I'd pay for a podcast where it's JUST that, with a new test every week.

From the screenshot he himself provided [1], it looks like he was confronted about making people at YC feel unsafe, and responded by saying they "shouldn't be on the internet". Contrarian views are one thing. Addressing the p

As somebody who's never looked into this kind of task before, I couldn't believe it was powered by a ~300 line file and not some massive library. Really awesome.

The situation you describe would require building and maintaining what's basically an etsy competitor. That's a hugely more complex undertaking compared to "here's a buy button that links to a URL". As much as I&#x2

You're getting downvoted for the low rate, but I think you deserve thanks. You're one of the only "hiring" posts with a rate range listed. That's useful information, and appreciated. Let the expensive people filter
