I'm not are you aware of it, but you should pivot your start-up to something more in the lines of computer/bed/workplace/food sharing thingie for young enterpreneurs. And they pay you by their coding/designing man-hours (which you use to fu

You don't need to call me old-fashioned - I am. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_ludens http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptonomicon Just my 2 cents on the list that actually matters.

Been running a little through all the vids of it around. I'm still undecided. Perspective on each supposedly "fake" screenshot could explain the mismatch. In your example, you actually don't see how far his fingers are apart. Also, it might

And I assume those 50% Lenovos were in the MacBook Pro price range? Meaning, just the Xs?

My rabbit chews a lot of cables. He chewed iPhone charger - I almost cried. He chewed other cables too - I've bought them just round the corner at thrift shop dirt cheap. I've seen at least 2 iPhones breaking beyond repair just by falling.

As a rapid game producer, I'm calling this bullshit. Fastest rapid game dev is with Flash, and nothing has come even close to it (just poke around game dev jams). Now, if you need mobile support, go with HaXe, it has HTML5 target too. As we

No, I attract hard working, no nonsense people who take joy in getting things done with least amount of friction, and who don't need masseuse to write code.

I couldn't agree with this one more. I only swim upstream if I have absolutely no other choice, courtesy of the Deadline. But here's the thing - there's always Deadline. :)

At my place, you get name.surname@mycompany.com and can have as many aliases as you want, I don't care - I'll always send you mail to name.surname@mycompany.com. How is it NOT geeky to have local mail parts in friggin' order? Also, even if

Worst thing for me is that I actually feel completely out of place actually building my company up last 6 months so I can take on an idea I have, completely self-funded.

Yes. I misunderstood. I know for a fact that most of those contacted do not use Gmail. Only one confirmedly does. There might be other corporate non-public solutions that do that, on the other hand.

No, no e-mail sent nor received had any mention of Alex in any way outside him being in Cc. I hardly believe it's at all illegal to have an e-mail address in Cc field, even if it's imaginary. E-mail isn't Facebook. :)

I send mails every (week) day, and favor it in front of any other form of business communication. I've sent 17 since I've started this thread.

Alex was not CEO, he was CEO assistant, but that doesn't matter at all since no one actually sent mails from that address, and subsequently have not read the his mail sig. The adress was alex@your_company.com

Content is the same, but that's obviously subjective. The conversations were either all with alex or without, meaning, no reply requests were sent to the pre-alex mail with alex in cc and I haven't split tested.

It was not rigorous, but here they are... Pre-Alex I've ran through 5 months of mails, which amounted to ~5k mails, and sorted them out (there was already label Waiting done for me). Post-Alex, in 2 months of mails the sample size was ~2k m

Because in most of those mails it was mission critical that I receive the response. The process grinds to a halt if I don't receive response, irregardless of anyone and anything else. Both Alex and I were tied to the same process and action

Well, I've always tried to construct my e-mails to the best of my ability. I didn't noticed any change in my content - it has all been pretty standard.
