Graphically the site is designed beautifully. Functionally; I hate it. My eyes have to travel all the way to the right side to view a skinny panel. The text is tiny, and is hard to read. Most of the fields in user's profiles are shown as em

Well I was actually being sarcastic about sending them the invoice, it was a joke. As for my response to negative feedback, I simply stated that if my story isn't interesting, he was free to ignore it or flag it. HN has tons of stories subm

Haha, I actually thought about that - I'll send the company an invoice for my recruitment fee as a headhunter. Hell, if I'm going to be finding people jobs, may as well take a cut right :D

It did bother me when I got passed off via email, pretty much "This is our guy X. I'm going to let these guys take care of you now". That said, I don't think they're bad people at all, just a crazy busy startup.

Yes, I don't hold any resentment against them for hiring my friend. Good engineers are always in demand everywhere. At the time I initiated contact with them, my friend had just started working, so the chance of hiring him was slim. It happ

The difference is I wasn't looking for a "job". I'm a hustler, willing to do what it takes, and I made it clear from the beginning. I wanted the opportunity to learn and do, and money wasn't an issue. It's a shock to me that I couldn't hust

I'm in general agreement with everyone else, internet marketing is incredibly in demand because unlike all other hires, it directly drives revenues. So not only do you have to compete against other companies, but lucrative affiliate marketi

My advice isn't really advice, more of an observation based on my limited world experience. But here it is. If you are looking for a cofounder, stop looking for a cofounder. Look at like this: if you were looking for a wife or a girlfriend,

I can't really figure out what this purchase is about, if it has indeed gone down. Google usually acquires tech companies. Groupon is a marketing company with a good business model. What would Google want to do with this? Integrate into Gma

I think you miss the point in that expression. It isn't advice, nor is it literal. They are words of encouragement, of optimism and hope. I don't even think kids understand what it means.

"Boring" is as defined by the individual. After all, some people are thrilled by studying things considered boring by most people. But I would assume that for most in this case, boring means sameness. Most of us hear about new Google produc

Check your hosting company, they may have a deal to resell certificates and may provide installation for you. I got a certificate significantly cheaper than listed on the GeoTrust site.

Technically you're not "working" as you are not employed. I'm not even sure theres a visa for it, maybe you just take a very long "vacation" and leave/return before your time is up.

Only if it fits into your business model, IMO. Just because your small startup gives away a small percentage of profit to charities doesn't mean you'll get a net positive benefit out of it. In most cases, you'll clearly end up with a net ne
