I think that on Fiver you give creative direction and that's what they go on, they probably don't care too much about your company.

It's a military reference. Sergeants (I think) have a striped insignia, and it would mean a bump in rank (experience, knowledge, skill). Edit: Not to say he was in the military, it's a metaphor for how Walton gained experience and

Not specifically about learning, but I wonder how many half-finished projects sit in garages and basements. How many outdoor fire pits are partly built, some guy thinking 'Man I should have just done it in one go.' Desires and w

This might be a stupid question - but what if you have two icons, one with the cat with a black nose, one with the cat with a gray nose?

I was just thinking the same though. Perhaps a bit more crass, however, my thought process was something like 'tough shit'. My assumption would be those investing heavily in BC were thinking 'high risk, high reward'.

Please explain how crowd-funding a movie even makes sense? There are plenty of movies with actors I love that are terrible. Have you seen RED (or worse, RED 2)? For the same reason your boss doesn't pay you for the month you haven&#x2

Well, to be frank, if you want 1,000 MRR, you're going to need to put in the work. You seem averse to the 'upfront work' part of things, but money isn't free. Well, unless you're already rich.

I think he's referring to an LLC 'doing business as' another entity. Right?

If you flesh this out with 1,000 nights... First off: Awesome! That's a hell of a lot of grind. Secondly, I'll totally do it. Or at least try it. Would be cool to see a simple web app that let you check them off as you went. T

I'm actually a little bit confused by this - is this serious? It all seemed normal (well, normal being relative) until the last bit about ex-drug smugglers and cash-lined suits. Maybe I'm just not rich enough to fall into this ki

I don't know about that, I think anything conversation-starting and interesting belongs on HN. They did 'hack' the traditional method of traveling by ditching all their 'things' and not having any reservations or p

This is a neat idea, though the quality of questions is terrible. Would probably be a good way to garner a decent amount of followers if you spent 20 minutes answering a ton of questions. Not very clear on how to 'ask' questions

If you read the last paragraph in the OP, you'll notice that officer has "appreciation" for their intelligence. It's very short-sighted to assume that they are of low intelligence or have poor impulse control. Being bo

Good point. Which is evidenced by the fact that many airports aren't really 'in' the cities they are named for. Example: Cincinnati's CVG airport is actually in rural Kentucky. Cheaper land.

Ha, the first thing I searched for on this thread was "raspberry". I just got mine last week. However, there's no way in the world that thing will be able to run modern games.

I think reading between the lines a little bit should indicate that because 50%+ of professors are adjuncts means that universities are proactively attempting to keep professors with that status. It means they can pay them less both in sal
