He basically gets a spot in the family business which he uses as a launchpad to creating a SaaS product. Come on, this title is so far off from reality. No problem with what he did and it sounds like he does a great job, but let's at l

Thanks Dad. You realize that for every single bad thing that happens there are always additional steps that could have been taken to prevent it? Unfortunately there is a trade-off most people make between living their life and prepping for

I imagine the firefighter that prevents fires has strong opinions about how they start.

This has to be the greatest logo I've seen in a while. Did you create it yourself and if so what did you use?

This is fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to create it. This looks like an amazingly simple way to create a prototype.

I find that people who sit in the greys tend to be very worried about their public perception or have very little passion beyond maintaining personal comfort. The people I look for are those that take strong stands but are willing and able

Can you point to any evidence that people enjoy being down voted without an explanation? Clearly the fact that there has to be two entries in a fairly short comment guidelines points to the reality that many people have expressed that they

By "most of us" who exactly are you referring to? I wasn't aware there was some kind of user survey etc that was used to determine that stuff. I thought one person just added that to the bottom of the comments guidelines. Was

Anonymous downvoting is pretty popular around here. I agree it's a very rude thing to do. Also, just an FYI, I was scolded the other day for acknowledging the downvoting in an edit. Edit: case and point

I think Docker can somewhat be seen as a generalized term like Linux. Linux doesn't write EXT4 but it is often referred to as "Linux filesystem". Docker has been actively trying to become to household brand name for container

As long as it does not deviate into getting really creative with the spec, keeping everything consistent is overrated in my opinion. There are the exceptions of very widely used projects where contributors will only look at the code a coupl

Which pairs up with the age old assumption that everyone is trying to create slack and couldn't have possibly been doing something more important with their lives than bringing IRC to the masses.

Please do not use "please" in a passive aggressive manner when you are giving an authoritative command. Use please when you are genuinely requesting someone does something as a favor to you. When you are giving an order, be and ad

That is one disadvantage. If you bothered to read the rest of my comments you would see that I said it depends on your use case. If you just need a basic website you are much better off using a site builder than wasting quite possibly 1000s

What your requirements? With Google rendering JavaScript any static site generator is probably going to be better. If you need crud functionality any number of hosted and open source crud providers are available. Or just use a hosted site b

Sure, you need to support legacy software that is so junky you have no way to migrate off the platform. You're trapped in the dump. Even more reason to avoid WordPress and not get trapped in your situation.

Basically the company gets bigger when they add Level 3 to it so they can issue additional shares without diluting their current outstanding shares. Think of it more as converting your Level 3 stock into Century Link stock.

Cost over COGS is exactly my point and why this is exploitation. What do you think the cost over COGS are for the artists actually doing the work? I'll give you a hint, it's often in the negative.

My main concern is coming across a an issue only to research it and find a "won't fix"[closed] and 100 +1s asking for it. When I have something super important in actual production this scares me way too much to trust.

I would look at similar products in international markets(especially SE Asia) for how insanely huge Snapchat could become.

You really don't think the middlemen are the ones doing business on your platform? You've simply squeezed the margins so that the artists get even less.

1. How does that compare to eBay and Etsy now that you have used SEO tricks to push yourself up in the rankings so artists now have to go through you? 2. 5-40% quite a broad range. Who determines this percentage and what percentage does the

He literally listed SEO as the most important part of the business. Which means he seized control of a location(Google ranking) and then sold it back to those who could not compete with his Google rank. No sure where "Everybody wins&qu

"Do you think it's healthy to speak to a child in a cynical way?" Absolutely not. I don't think I would look to fill my team with people who wish to be spoken to as children.
