It makes more sense to use the climate as the driver of work-hours than anything else.

You can enjoy the outdoors more (especially summer) if you start your day a little later. You can go running or biking in the morning when the sun is getting up (6a->8a), go to work for the direct sunlight hours (930a->630p), and the

Single family homes that are privately owned are a strawman argument. Even if you rent your single family home, a renter only gets the keys to your building, is likely to only potentially damage the things within your four walls, and not in

Apartments aren't ad-hoc hotels. Only the AirBnB host and AirBnB benefit from the transaction, while the other tenants are put at risk.

I'm probably not a "regularfolk" in your eyes. I hate AirBnB in NYC. Why should you be able to rent out your apartment and increase the risk of break-ins and pest-infestations for the entire building? Your neighbors receiv

Also, I think it's bullshit. There's no way that an overworked person said: "Fab has this insanely rare combination of having huge potential AND giving me the opportunity to have an outsized impact on it."

That's what I got from it as well. He even threw in this "No true Scotsman:" "If you’re a real startup person, this is the best time to be at Fab." i.e. No true startup-loving engineer would think it's a bad ti

It's not a silencing tactic, good lord, stop suspecting people have hidden agendas about trivial garbage like this. Like the blog author, stop attempting to control what people say. Someone saying "I'm a product guy" is

I feel awkward having correctly guessed that the bulk of the post would be a complaint about the gender in the informal "guy." Surely there's more interesting things to complain about.

How do you prevent a bad actor from signing up as a fake startup and harvesting your users?

by mjolk 13y ago
That's sort of a non-solution. Perhaps add a field that asks "which startups would you not like to share your information with?" This way, you keep your site single-blind (to keep people from skipping using your service) and

It would be nice to see a list of the startups that can see resumes (or opt out of some). If I was at a startup and looking to move to a new one, I wouldn't want it to be public knowledge that I was looking until I at least talked with

Sure, swap out the verb, but even so, there's lots of fun ways to word things that leave the door open for future lawsuits/claims.
