I don't think it is really about the difficulty of the project. Like prostoalex said above, it is more about the product being well thought out- ease of use, design, UX, its ability to solve the problem it is trying to solve, etc. Al

Have a friend- early 20s, speaks 5 languages, graduated from one of her country's top law schools, worked in corporate law, received a full scholarship to do a decent LLM program in the USA- she finished the program with a 4.0. She won

As if big publishers needed more reasons to sell premium inventory to trusted advertisers via direct channels (or at the very least private marketplaces).

I visited the abandoned neighborhoods as well and saw some terrible blight and impoverished areas- my point is that as an outsider, that's all you expect from Detroit, which is only part of the picture.

I visited Detroit for the first time this past weekend, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it- beautiful, clean downtown area (much cleaner than SF), a very lively art scene (many artists ARE moving there for the cheap rent), many new ba

That sucks, I was once in a situation where I held a grudge against a person for a very long time, to the point where I thought about them and what they did almost every waking moment. It made it really hard to move on with my life. What

Lean Startup is a great book. When I first started, I found "Inspired, How to Create Products that Customers Love" by Marty Cagan to be a great resource.

Actually my experience growing up in the USSR was completely different- you couldn't hear your neighbors because the walls were so thick (and not just our apartment, but all apartments that I remember), that was one of the surprising t

"Would much rather now be something, anything, other than a Product Manager." Why?

Since both Amazon and eBay are public I'd check their quarterly or annual filings, the info may be in the notes.

Cool site, but I'm talking about a guide that doesn't overwhelm you and guides a user through the process of improving one's fashion.

by olegious 13y ago
I think it would be interesting to make the guide interactive, provide better pictures and details and taylor it to tech people- make it almost like an API reference.

Ask HN: would you be interested in a simple fashion guide for men?

From the white paper linked below- "Since 1993 gay sex was made legal in Russia, in 12 US States gay sex is a crime."

Thank you for linking to this. Finally someone taking the time to actually discuss the law and its consequences rather than rehashing the same breathless bs that is printed and repeated in the media.

Looks very cool. Is this only for "virtual" products or physical goods as well?

Exact same thing happened to me last week, took notes on a one hour video, clearly saw the online app sync on multiple occasions, after closing the note, only the first 15 minutes of my content was saved. Incredibly irritating.

Try the simple back bridge progressions in the "convict conditioning" book. Dumb name, but a solid approach to exercising without a fun and a great section on back exercises.

I realize that it isn't- what bothers me is that it is high, nearly as high as European countries, yet we have exponentially more poverty and poverty related problems.

True, but if you count student loan repayments and health insurance payments (something that most civilized countries provide for free or low cost)- those are almost a tax and quickly get you over 40%.

If all the poverty statistics in this article are accurate, in about 10 years we can expect to see a reversal of the decline in US violent crime that's been happening since the 90s. What can be done- what is the right mix of social pol

There are more jobs in tech than only software development. Have you considered other positions? Product management is one option, especially of you have both- the business background and a knowledge of development.

Telling a large portion of your population to "get out," especially when that population is educated and was born and grew up there is never a good idea. I and hundreds of thousands like me could've been contributing to the r

Maybe if Moldova didn't mistreat Russians we would've never left- thereby contributing to the decline. My parents were born in Moldova, I was born in Moldova. Since we were Russian speakers we were told to "Go home." A
