This is cool. I might try one, even at the $10 price point. Although, that's the price of one drink at a real comedy club, so it is kind of a bargain. I would love to see something like this on Oculus.

The Ethiopian community in DC makes the best food. I need to get back down there one day.

I'm shocked YouTube hasn't cloned Patreon for video creators. YouTube needs a tip jar if the content creators are resorting to Patreon, and that was back when the getting was good.

That's not how sales reps think.

Agencies are thieves. At WPP Google wouldn't play ball with kickbacks, but you can't be a credible digital agency and not do search. So Google got their taste, just no GDN. Facebook wouldn't do kickbacks, so they were heavily

The other thing you have to remember is ego. I see plenty of ads for WeWork office clones still running! Is it total neglect? I think it's hubris and Marketing Director's fighting to keep their ad spend, because if their entire bu

I do a lot of Facebook and most of my clients target CAC earnback in 7-9 months. I once was able to do arbitrage for my product and made a non-infinitely scalable positive ROI within one week with targeted Facebook ads but it was 2012. Not

Did you guys try paid YouTube ads? Or simply behind the scenes sponsored content marketing?

iirc, some of the original advertisers got decentish click volume, particularly if they had bought multiple squares. Each one of them got 5x their investment in SEO because the PageRank of the original got so high with news pulbications lin

oh man, first time I had Ethiopian food I was 19 with friends in Adams Morgan in DC. I've had a lot of good Ethiopian since but nothing has bested that moment.

That is so cool. For the first few minutes everyone ran away from me :( But then I was welcomed into a convo.

Is there any way you could apply here: https://apply.ycombinator.com/session/new?continue=https%3A%... and rush your build in April/May? You have ten days left to apply but it looks fine in the current state. You

This is a really good idea. This has nothing to do with the current crisis but if you could somehow credibly guarantee hosting for 50+ years people could read stories to their yet to be born grandchildren. People with terminal diseases and

dang, thanks for clarifying. I had a friend with a bed company years back with no affiliation do a Show HN and it must have organically trended. I didn't know you guys did that, and it makes sense that you do. I have no idea how you wo

This looks really great, I hope you are psyched this post hit the first page. Everyone is fixated on pricing, I think the pricing is fine. Here are my notes: Vectorizing - I don't see anyway to share these creations with the world. Why

The dot com bust was awesome for me, although it was the first time I had ever been fired from a job. I internalized blame for a while but then my girlfriend, who had been laid off before me, was like fuck it let's have fun in NYC and

I survived the Dot Com bubble pop. I was at the DoubleClick Willy Wonka party where they rented out Centrofly, had topless Chelsea male models made up like Oompa-Loompas. One high up executive said to me "The sushi finally arrived, it&

Sorry, just seeing this now. She really did. But she was super Irish Catholic and I think she wanted the names Joe and Mike anyway. Also she was an early Bloomberg employee and had crazy stories about him.

Sorry, I just have to clarify. I am or was a Digital Media Director. So I'm always distrustful of "creative" portfolio stuffers. But this sounds like you have the purest of intentions. And it is very kind of you to donate str

This is cool, I guess. If I had an Al Pastor truck, I would submit and expect nothing and appreciate something. But it seems super nebulous. It feels very "We could be the next 72andSunny". Could you follow this up with a Show HN

Pre-dotcom bust there was this lady from The Daily Deal. She harassed the shit out of us with her perkiness. No way we would spend IBM's money on a new website. But she was a no means yes woman. I asked her for $50,000 of free inventor

I wish there was a unreddit undelete so I could read your rant. I had this elite headhunter who LinkedIn messaged me but he doesn't do phone calls. So I go to his office on my one half day. It looked like Met Art. He had the perfect jo

No, you can't. It says March 16th was the due date to apply. Why even get the country remote people excited? edit: nope, i'm a dumbass. you can still apply.

I don't want to get banned but what is the point of this substack post? I know four founders who would have applied to YC only if it were remote. One has a startup with a $10MM valuation, the others not so much. But the March 16th date

DMOZ, really? Yes, at the beginning, yes. But 5-6 years later I know plenty of companies and even bloggers who would locate a "volunteer" and ply him with hundreds or thousands of dollars to get them in, get free traffic, and that

I wonder what the max weight is for a Fed Ex. I would be tempted to send them the laptop wrapped in bubble packaging and foam, inside a steel safe. With the combination on a Post-It note. I really want them to get that laptop.

I actually do employ people. They just don't have health care plans. Also, some dumb scarf store that loses money every year will file for this and get it. Why not us?
