Yes, if it takes you $5 to make $1, then something is probably wrong. But, if it takes you $1.10 to make $1 and there's a clear path to efficiencies/economies of scale, then maybe you're on to something. Here are some VC pers

No it's not (IMO). At least not to the extent where cost control is paramount above growing revenue. Check out this HBR article from 2013: https://hbr.org/2013/04/three-rules-for-making-a-company-tru... (kee

If being into sports is a conscious decision, you're probably not really into sports. Maybe I'm reading between the lines incorrectly but this post has an air of condescension and elitism. The white-collar, academic author deci

How about a company like Mint (Inuit). They've got data on poeple's debit cards from all the banks . They've also got categorical trend data (are people eating out more this month?).

Fun post. Only nit-pick is that a majority (70%) of MLB hitters use maple bats now, not ash. I know maple is a harder wood but I'm curious to know if it can handle more than the 15,000 lbs of force ash can. Also, the home run tracker i

So, I've recently been building DIY suitcase boomboxes (similar to http://theboomcase.com ). This is a cool hack. FYI you can also get bluetooth-to-RCA modules for not much more: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion

I've worked on some web things for Vincent in my days in the photo industry. He's always been a favorite photographer of mine. His technical ability and attention to detail in photography is mind-blowing. What's even more imp

This is really cool–well done. I've had the idea for something similar but for #selfie pictures. I think it'd be to compare styles in different geographic regions.

Exactly. A cursory glance at the HN/YC jobs page shows 1 remote-friendly position out of 20+. Why? I'll admit, people are probably wrongly ascribing bad intentions to PG's essay and sama's related tweets. But that's

Those aren't the options people are referring to on Twitter (at least not in the threads I've seen [0]). It's about hiring US/Canada based people and not forcing them to relocate. Using Slack, Skype, screen-sharing, co-w

First, it's more the system , which cops are a part of, than just cops. Second, it's not so much about me getting away with breaking the law. Seatbelt violation? Sure, I'll take it. But suspending my license because of a fix

Yes, thanks for distilling my comment down to what I was really trying to say. Your comment is as sharp as it is brave.

I'm getting to the point where I can't stand local law enforcement. Combined with local governments, courts, and other entities, it just seems like a big racket to keep money flowing. Yesterday, I was pulled over for not buckling

I think you mean "prestigious, private" tech colleges ... there are plenty of public universities that rank well in CS and other tech disciplines. Many are under $30K/year with room and board .

Basically, naked/apex domains generally require an A RECORD pointing to an IP address. Heroku prefers you didn't use A RECORDS at all because the IP addresses in their underlying architecture might change. [1] [1] https:/&#x

We switched baremetrics.io over to AWS/Route53 as well. It didn't take long (NS switch might still be propagating) but not having ALIAS support is a bit of a drag.
