I respect Rollins but a more useful and informative interview for HN and entrepreneurs would've been Ian Mackaye. That guys is a business legend for me.

I thought this would be about how we have prioritized the advancement of technology for the few over the welfare of the rest. Maybe it should be titled "Still asking the wrong questions"

yeah i think the issue isn't with the decision, it's more understanding the context around why that may or may not be an option. Not 100% analogous to addiction treatement but think about how "just quit" isn't reall

I honestly really do understand your situation in many ways. I know what it's like to fight for something better, and to feel like you're enduring all the stress you can because you think it's worth it. It's really hard

You're creating a scenario where there are two options. In my experience that is almost never the case. Sometimes you have many options, sometimes you have none. You're making assumptions about how family comes to be, who you woul

It's a little disheartening that people on HN fail to understand that some people don't have a true choice sometimes when it comes to a job. I'm not posting this to shame anyone, but I would ask that before you say things lik

Honestly this is a very strange metric for me. It doesn't account for things like the frothy conditions of 2011 - 2014 where people were raising money like crazy. It doesn't speak to trends where investors were actively looking to

saved you a click: "We did nothing to promote the bot. No ads. No paid promotions. No splashy launch. We just put it in Kik’s Bot Shop and waited. (Full disclaimer: We work for Kik, and Roll has been our side project.)"

Great sales people have great networks. They know how to maintain those networks to discover more clients. They also understand timing and "pain" from potential accounts. One of the best sales people I ever met started working for

The lack of flair and ingenuity in youth soccer in America is why our teams are so bad. We drill kids in what we think are core fundamentals because we treat soccer like US Football instead of the fluid dynamic game that it is.

In one case you're talking about a person and their personal actions in a personal situation. In another, you're talking about a person who is tasked with carrying out orders and directives to do what they think is in the best int

This was my thought exactly. In America very little of the big name mayo uses egg as a primary ingredient. I can see how JustMayo could be a category winner for the whole foods niche tho and that could be really profitable.

I think this is a neat idea but I wish they would explain this in a simple sentence on their site instead of all the mumbojumbo. Something like This is a Donor-Advised Fund that is completely free to participate in. Donor-Advised Funds are

For me, the issue is that intellectuals, futurists, etc constantly downplay the crucial cultural role that cars play as part of our identity in America. America has really shitty public transit, so on average, you're driving (or being

Think of Discord as like TeamSpeak and Slack combined. Streamers use Discord as a place to house their viewers and community when they're not streaming. Having a TwitchChat outside of TwitchChat is actually pretty powerful for streamer

Discord is starting to reveal their ability to pull streamer communities off of Twitch. This is most likely a bulkhead acquisition to anticipate the growth of Discord and to try and keep those same streamers in the fold. Twitch gets the mas
