   Just reviewed my message and no, I don't believe I did. Do let me know if I missed it though!

   Wheat is not a good comparison because it's mostly not consumer facing. Consumers care for more things in their purchases than just the raw good. Your alcohol example IS a good example. Consumers aren't just buying a beverage that

   Hey, would you be willing to go a little in to your background/qualifications as well as maybe what your daily/weekly workload and goals look like? BI is a field I'm curious about because it sounds very interesting, very impo

   I can't argue with stale format other than to say that if you're visiting restaurant websites wanting a unique browsing experience then I expect you're in an extreme minority. Would you happen to also be opposed to bootstrap?

   PTO instead of sick leave is a thing so I don't see your point.

   I find the idea that startups need to have social value or that there exists such a thing as "fundamentally important work" to be one of entitlement and self importance. As if it's owed to the critic that Sam/Silicon Val

   I don't think it's fair to say he's looking down his nose at people that don't build anything if he's responding to those people saying him and his friends aren't building things that are hard enough. It's

   Because of our different environment, none of those "needs" really exist though. Being part of modern society basically guarantees we stay fed and sheltered. Very few people are trying to procreate as much as they can. Some of us

   Only if you use some vague, hypothetical concept of want. To me wants are the things people pursue. Seeing as people act, the idea that they don't know what they want is silly. To say that peoples wants are bad for them or they should

    "Tricking your brain with chemicals" is a ridiculous way to dismiss something that people like. Every desire or want we have is the result of chemicals.

    Huh? I didn't say anything about monetary profit. Users don't profit monetarily when they read buzzfeed articles so I have no idea how you would have got that idea.

    You may just be working with a poor definition of value if you consider giving people what they want to be at odds with it.

    This is really interesting! Have you read the source report? I'm curious as to why/how the predicted required budget would fluctuate so much. For such a specialised and frontier based project, surely you'd be aiming for consi

    I mean, I didn't actually get anything out of this particular article at all or upvote it, but there was at least potential of hearing how they got to the point where they could get that funding and afford those experts, so I clicked i

    I think soared's answer mostly explains it but also I think the demographic/general theme of this particular site has something to do with it. Tales of growth hacking and doing much with little are more interesting and relevant to

    You and all the other freebie guys are welcome to create content without all the extra scripts then. Pretty simple no? It would appear though, seeing as this is considered a pretty big problem, that the vast majority of people do want to be

    The discussion is living on entry level job salaries. Life goals shouldn't come in to the equation because one of those life goals should be "don't have an entry level job for your entire life"

    If you're in the US I highly recommend checking to see if you have a local owner run wine retailer. One that preferably hosts wine tasting nights. I used to sell wine b2b and was amazed at the level of care most of them have for their

    I don't have an iPhone so correct me if I'm remembering correctly but aren't they by default protected by a 4 digit numeric pin? A 4 digit numeric pin that a brute force attack can be used on is effectively no security/a

    I think this has a large effect on opinions in an often revisited internet topic "moving away from ads". Whenever a service starts to offer a paid alternative, or people get on the topic of tracking, or micropayments comes up, it&

    Distributing praise/criticism to maximise productivity and morale, rather than to reflect the truth, is part of managing people. You should adopt a mindset/philosophy that makes this seem intuitive to you before you progress furth

    At least "startup" is more specific than "tech industry" which a lot of other articles (and this one in the actual body) are using. As if the frightful 5 aren't powering along.
