If that quote at the end is accurate, that would be a very disappointing culture to be apart of.

Maybe. I'm know very little about Japanese culture but based on what I heard recently from that podcast, the statics they mentioned regarding home maintenance contradict your statement. Or maybe there are hundreds of companies but the

This has some truth but not the whole picture. I recently listened to a fascinating Podcast from Freakenomics Radio called, " Are Japanese homes disposable? " where they discussed a huge cultural difference regarding how the Jap

But the average age of a house in japan is not even close to the average age of many San Francisco homes...

The fact the Sendgrid even has to do re-training in the first place is the problem. They only need to do and handful of things well and keeping their users accounts secure is arguably the most important. If they are having issues like thi

I agree. The rate of innovation is very impressive and I'm sure with the engineering talent they already have, these improvements are more feasible than say expanding from country to country. But I would love to see increases in the ra

yea, public uproar has been a huge deterrent on regulation in the past...

If you don't like it, there is a simple solution. Stop visiting a YC run website.

I'm in almost the exact same position. I've considered myself decent in front-end design and development but have had a strong desire to become more technical and proficient in programming and backend technologies so I could be a

Fantastic stuff. My first experiences in digital design were from the video side so I used to do keyframe animations in Final cut pro, Apple's Motion, and After Effects. Seeing experiences/animations on par with video using just t

Hot damn. The design and experience I felt from this page is overwhelmingly great. I've always loved stripe's design and they continue to blow me away. Really excited to activate our account any day now.

It's still an important filter though and I think should have been mentioned. For people that think they want to get into startups but are unaware of the realities of the salaries, benefits, bonuses, number of raises etc, becoming aw

for me it was the lightbulb. Really guys? How many people think of a compact fluorescent lamp's shape versus the traditional globe shape. So unnecessary but really like a lot of the other ones.

This response isn't that cynical, it's pretty accurate. I've been using Calm for about 6 months now and while it's been very nice and beneficial for my use cases, I truly believe meditation is a solely physical experienc

Very nice compliment right here.

Fair enough. I think you are a very small niche though and my proposal would save tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people from wasting expensive batteries. Worth it.

Same here. I want to make a battery powered noise canceling headphone that automatically shuts off if the jack isn't plugged in. Why should a 250 dollar pair of headphones not do this automatically when the battery is required for the

Loved this piece. > I got so caught up in this mentality that I was literally embarrassed to be working on a company that was making money in a less than sexy industry. Seems ass-backwards to me... Spot on! I wish you much success in yo

There are mod policies on HN that ban/regulate users. Without those, would the quality still be as good? Probably not.

Interesting perspective. Thanks.

I disagree. Honest discourse means you are able to express a differing point of view, even if it is very critical/harsh. Meanness would be calling someone a faggot when it is unrelated to the topic and that is never a part of real disc

your point here?

Please write an article about how you run these "profitable" campaigns. Seriously. It seems like you are the only person I've ever heard make this claim and I'm sure people here are dying to know the secret.

Adblock is my favorite thing right now, I don't know why I didn't install it sooner. And I couldn't agree more on finding new ways to generate money for the online economy. Advertisement is so boring and old-school.

I thought this video was spot on as well. Can you explain how/why you really disagree with it's premise? I'm curious to hear your points...

I like this advice a lot. We have been wasting way too much time with maybes instead of pressuring them into a yes/no. People are worried that the pressure is harmful to the brand/relationship but its not as harmful as wasting a l
