At my company (StoragePug) we use: -HubSpot for sales CRM, for email marketing, and for our website. Easy to set up email templates and automated follow-up sequences, and there's a huge benefit to having your sales CRM be the same syst

Doesn't your explanation mean saying we live in a simulation is _exactly like_ saying there are millions of invisible unicorns?

I don't want to discount your experience, but as with a post advocating for fasting, you need to put a personal experience/your mileage may vary disclaimer on here, because your experience isn't going to be what everyone will experience. I'

It's not particularly easy but it's not particularly hard, either. When I started doing 24 hour fasts, I would get shaky, tired, and as you mention, suffer headaches. For the first few times, you will likely not feel great. In my case, I ad

I'd like to point out the hypocrisy of holding Germany up as a bright and shining alternative[1]. Regardless of what you think about the state of government in the US, nothing you say about the Holocaust here will you get imprisoned. [1] h

And even if it isn't charged, you just need a standard micro USB cable, not anything proprietary. I can use the same cable (including the car charger!) for my phone and for my Kindle and for a number of other little peripheral devices. That

The thing that's important here is the definition of "durable goods," I think. It makes the discussion a lot simpler if we avoid the "doesn't wear out quickly" definition and use the "yields utility over time." The thing of it is, there rea

I don't know that I'd assume there's nothing more middle class _in China_ than skiing.

It's not misogyny because, according to Merriam-Webster's 11th edition, misogyny means "a hatred of women," and the original comment wasn't about that at all. And it has nothing to do with a segment of society. You're complaining about some

Is this overreaction and appalling misuse of the word "misogyny" really needed for satisfying self-expression nowadays?

Well, Mitnick was kept in solitary because they were afraid he could start a nuclear exchange if given access to a phone. I think a bit of paranoia is common procedure for hackers because what they do seems like magic to most people. As for

They may be part of the landscape but that doesn't mean taking them at face value is good journalism. And I think the reliability of journalism has a large impact on how aware and informed it's even possible for a reader to be.

Isn't it possible that this is why it comes out of the military industrial machine? Surely a lot of advances in trauma treatment, bandages, surgery, and all kinds of other medical advances have come from the military industrial machine as w

Played with it a bit a few years ago. For what it is (free 3D software), I think it does fine. But at the same time, I think there's a reason it's not really being used professionally in the film industry (disclaimer: it wasn't the last tim

If you wouldn't recommend individual stock picking, mutuals, or ETFs, what investment vehicle would you recommend? I want to invest but feel like I really just know enough to get myself burned.

I'd never heard of Messiah Studio before, but heck, I've dabbled in 3D enough to cough up $40 for professional software. Fingers crossed it hits the goal.

Interesting article, but I don't understand this: "The male brain has the enviable ability to essentially switch off emotions when desired--in part because it’s hard for a man to think clearly in the face of emotion." "For a man"? Wouldn't

Thanks! This looks great, really comprehensive.

Good point. Initially, what I'm looking to do is to learn enough to put together, at least in a rudimentary fashion, the ideas that I have for apps or startups. Right now I'm one of those people with ideas and no ability to execute, and I r

Of the two, does it matter which one I start with, or are both equally suitable for an absolute beginner?

Which is actually so much less annoying than captcha. Seems less secure (probably trivial for people you know to break in) but it's certainly a novel approach.

This is great for HN readers. For most people using Google, not so much, I think.

I don't know that the $1-$2 price point is really the important thing. I have no idea if a search engine would make a profit at that price point. There's no product as of now. I have no idea about storing the terabytes of data, or data visu

DMOZ doesn't really have user voting, though. But it's definitely a reasonable comparison.

Ad supported is a workable model, I agree. The question if you would pay for it is directly because of Jason Cohen's post. If it's not worth paying for at some level, it's probably not a problem that's really screaming for a solution. I'd p

Yeah, there's definitely a major technological hurdle. I was more curious if anyone is actually willing to pay for search. So far, it's been running on the ad-supported model. Also, I don't have any illusions about killing Google at this po
