IMHO, all of it. The real winner is whoever they bought "Once.com" from, good for that person =)

Pretty vague announcement, I find it hard to believe 37 signals will stray too far from the SaaS cash cow they arguably helped to create with basecamp..

Just want to say that I respect and love the fact that you are doing this. I too get consumed by some stuff in this way and it's always a lot of fun, never time wasted.

This project appears to be dead or at the very least, abandoned just an FYI before you go too far down the rabbit hole like I just did

Unpopular opinion based on my personal experience: Remote work is broken and we will slowly see a full return to the office in most cases. Why is it broken? This article points out some of the big reasons but the ones that stand out to me a

This is a neat way to use the PI, if you want to avoid BT all together and have access to a web browser on the PI you could also login to Spotify.com and use your phone / watch to manage what is playing but have the output set to the w

Learning. Right now I have my Pi running a Python script that will grab messages placed in an AWS SQS queue and scroll them across an LCD screen attached to the Pi via breadboard. For me, projects like this make learning something I am not

From the outside looking in Tines looks to be a less feature rich and much more expensive version of Zapier (almost like a VC had the idea of building a Zapier clone and slapping a ridiculous price on it along with some "security"

Thanks for this. The site does a poor job of explaining what they actually do

This post is giving me 2010-2015 CRO is everything vibes and the landing page for the roast site is actually bad imho.

If you are attempting to follow the advice of business books verbatim that could be the problem. Most / all of the good ones I have read tell one view of what led to success. I take what I learn and attempt to apply it to my own school

I feel the same way but Salesforce has become such a complicated beast that I can only assume a simple no code solution like Zapier looks appealing as an acquisition target.

I hope they stay independent as long as possible however if I had to take a guess I would say Salesforce.

+1 - most sites are bad and a lot of them do not introduce WHAT the product they are pitching does until below the fold.

I believe that "Master class" is taking it a bit too far. The site has remained the same because there is no reason to update it. If the simplistic design was revolutionary or represented something other than "Don't fix

This is a sad situation because of a death taking place. That said, I do not personally believe there is anything wrong with the email other than the wording. Automation exists in all parts of our lives and sometimes an outcome like this wi

I have migrated 2 companies away from internal billing systems (one went to Stripe and the other went to Chargify). The amount of hacks that went into maintaining these internal systems was shocking. One company literally devised its own c

Simple yet interesting experiment and the type of content that keeps me coming back to HN. Nice work OP.

I agree there is some useful content in the article however there is nothing original. The article is a compilation of marketing tactics that can be found when you search for "marketing tactics". It just feels like a lazy and thro

I asked you about content strategy vs tactics in another comment and you responded with “tomato tomat-o”. Not the most engaging of replies. It’s apparent this was click bait to begin with.

When you say something costs "(technically) zero because you have an internal team" I can assure you we are not on the same page. Based on this and your other replies I can only assume you made this post in hopes of generating mor

Nothing costs you zero. Everyone on your team (I assume) is paid but even if they are not compensated with cash or stock, their time is not free

Can you elaborate? I agree there is no strategy here, just tactics but I am open to having my mind changed!

This is not shocking at all. Anyone surprised by it has not been paying much attention to Uber and or Kalanick over the past 18 months (I am not saying that's a BAD thing!).

The article says that it might be: "According to the whistleblower, the security fears raised at that meeting, including concerns that the transfer may be in breach of federal HIPAA rules on data privacy, have so far gone unanswered by

This would have been news worthy if they had NOT postponed! Probably the best move for the company while they (most likely) restructure into what they actually are, a real estate company.

The OP created their Hacker News account 21 days ago and has only posted 2 articles, both about Stack Overflow. It looks an awful lot like someone is just trying to drive site traffic to SO with this post. It wont matter much but I figured
