Actually, you should always define some "buzzword soup" as you put it, or as others put it "define the tone". Picking out opposites to words she says is a cheap shot. Of course no one would ask for "stale, frustrating and ugly" websites. Ho

If you're expecting something potentially embarrassing, then it's not so hard to be at the ready with a camera to take a photo of the screen.

I've worked remotely for 10+ years for various companies. I really appreciate the trust and commitment my employers have for letting me be in this situation. As a result I always try to go beyond expectations and pay a lot of attention to c

We've heard plenty of stories of false accusations in order to settle old family scores. "Interested in men" does not necessarily mean in a homosexual way, but it can be twisted to look that way. I accept what I'm implying is a stretch, but

Except that in Iran, you get hung for being gay. It's not a huge stretch to see what this search is implying > “Islamic men interested in men who live in Tehran, Iran“… “Places where they’ve worked.”

I use Hacker News'd which is a pretty cool Chrome extension that tells you (and links to) HN submissions for any URL https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-newsd/njdnd...

Ignoring any aspect of design will make you look frivolous. Yes, exploring trends are a subset of design but they are just as important as any other aspect of design. When I'm asked to design something of course I test and make sure it's fu

It may surprise you, but a part of design is fashion [trends]. My Ski jacket from about 10 years ago still works really well. At the time it looked great, but now it's outdated in style, although it still works great. So as a designer, yes

Just spent christmas snowmobiling and I much prefer a map on my phone with a GPS pinpoint of where I am. I'm not used to a snowy landscape so I couldn't reference were I am on a paper map, but my phone made that easy.

You think coding up the project is the heavy lifting?

For me it's not the split, or the lower rate vs what I'd normally earn. But I'm like you in that I can't just ditch existing clients for a couple of months and expect them to be there when I get back should this not work out.

There doesn't seem to be much information for non-accredited people wanting to invest. Is this only open to existing investors? Edit: found more info here http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/19/angellist-now-gives-smaller...

UI Design is a type of language and as such has to communicate a symbol with a meaning (or action in most cases). If you can use a language element that your user already understands, why would you rule it out? I also wonder why you compare

You don't need an mvp to asses demand. Go on forums, get out on the street and ask people. 1) Get them to agree [or disagree] that the problem exists. 2) Explain your solution and get a reaction. You should already have some idea of demand

by ed209 14y ago
that's not true. Not every product requires the same amount of "minimal". You can quite easily get the signal from users of your MVP that they are not interested - when actually it's just that you have a crappy MVP. Besides that, your origi

You're saying it's better to invest months of time, thousands of dollars only to find nobody wants it? For every Facebook you quote me, I'll show you 10,000 others that didn't succeed and instead wasted time and effort when they could have

That guy's money will go somewhere eventually too, into local coffee shops, craft market, plasma TV. Just because it goes somewhere, doesn't mean it goes to the right place.

But I don't want you to give money to the NRA (I assume that's the gun club), I would much rather you paid taxes. I see the danger in the system you mention that lots of money will go to niche organisations out of proportion with societies

yes, I do send more [than I could]. I could set up my salary through some finance companies in europe that help you keep up to 85% of your salary, but I don't.

d) ok, great! We'll all use off-shore companies to get our taxes down to a few %. Then let's see how we fund the NHS, roads, infrastructure, education, welfare and everything else you use daily that you don't pay for directly.

It's not so much the quest for the domain name, it's the energy spent at this stage on it. A domain name won't make or break your business. But all that time and energy spent on this problem could probably have been spent better on someth

If the reason is that you might get negative feedback in return, why not make both parties submit feedback blind and only publish the feedback once both parties have submitted it? (and make it not editable)

tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance on the scale of Amazon, Google, Starbucks and Facebook is imoral. It's pretty obvious that these companies have been strategically set up in Ireland as a way of paying less tax. You think it's acceptabl

no. I'm not suggesting that is why Dropbox are moving to Ireland. I'm saying that if that was the reason as brought up by the OP then they should be aware of current events in the UK where companies like Amazon are making billions of poun
