I probably should've put that one at the top, just copied from the serialized object in the page.

I write it for a management company focused on LIHTC properties.

Never did I think I'd see an LIHTC discussion on HN (or anywhere technical I frequent), I've worked on and written some compliance software for them. I was surprised at the scale and implementation of them.

Are there not slight differences in weights from the real to the fakes? The eBay service mentions like-new items so I'm kind of assuming specs would be available.

It's a new implementation of a common service. You have a point with the auction house providing the service it blurs some lines. Similar points have been brought up regarding some of Amazon's services. I think it will rely on eBa

Are there not currently businesses that do exactly this? You drop things off and they list them. I ran one for a while (albeit in the states).

So you're a (sub)contractor? Do you then sub it out to in-house dev/designers or have companies you work with?

Careful spouting that off (if you're US based), it sounds like, though you're both ok with it, your employer could be liable for incorrectly classifying you as an independent contractor. You may have been aware already but if not

The last time I tried this (4 years ago?), there were significant delays getting messages to some people. We were all on AT&T plans with work phones but some took 8-10 hours to get the alert.

It's always nice to have an actual mechanical linkage to the steering and motion, if the electronics had issues it could just as well affect the BT link from the phone or controller. I'm not familiar enough with all makes and mode

I don't mind the sound as much as the extreme pain they cause my ears after being in for even a short amount of time.

Isn't Apple used to selling highly marked up products to people who want something that "just works"? It doesn't seem to matter if it's the best product or a competitive price.

Yeah, short and quippy statements with no content are the best of all possible reactions!

Absolutely agree, I was more wanting to point out to people not fully in the know that $500 was either an old price or a non-US price. I've got a nice set of GE monitors from probably the mid 70s and they sound fantastic for music that

Still checking out the post but to anyone looking at getting a nice set of headphones, the Sennheiser 600s (mentioned in the post) can be picked up (especially used or open box) much cheaper than $500. I'd actually recommend going ahea

I don't know if you're being snarky or trolling or what but alcoholism comes in many forms. Please don't diminish the situation people are in just because they do their job well.

There's a lot of very weird assumptions being made in this post.

I'd guess Colbert got offered, his character and inherent satire allows him to distance all the polarizing issues a bit.

I believe Leno would be a good comparison, hardly seems like he retired once starting the Tonight Show. EDIT: Am I incorrect that he was (and still is) a well-respected comedian prior to taking the gig? He changed his act but his career&#x2

It can also be a problem with micro-managing and fear of delegation. Speaking more from personal experience than to this project. As a one man outfit it can be difficult to let go of something you're so attached to.

Well there's no screen, maybe it could yell at you or alert your phone? I actually thought that this is exactly what it was for when reading the first few bullet points and didn't think of home first, just a "Oh wow, they&#x2

That's a bit different, also, have you considered that the other people were more experienced and better qualified so the manager used the age and need as an excuse to spare your feelings/morale?

I think that it's about the single founder but even besides that, if you're married there's a good chance your spouse can provide a stable household while you're working on the company. This means you have a longer runwa
