I think part of the problem is, almost all their products have been free... launched as free and remained free without clear monetization plan, except to grow userbase. There was no strong disincentive for pulling the plug on products witho

"But it shouldn't be assumed that the high fees necessarily mean reduced income for the original seller." I agree. It just gets passed down to the customers. Most of my shock was directed at the 50% increase in fee in just

wow... that BB article makes me sad. https://archive.ph/yw3Bv In 2016, they collected 35.2%. In 2022, they collected 51.8% in fee. That's insane.

They sure did make some money though "killing" would be an exaggeration given what they had to put up in capital. It also could've gone the other way too; hence aptly called 'betting'. One would assume they had app

Hats off to whoever created the landing page. It is crystal clear in explaining its intent and benefits for the audience. It’s like the author is reading my mind as I’m scrolling down.

" we are focusing our attention north of JB Charleston, around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion" Sounds like it's in the water. It won't be easy to fish them out even if you find them. They probably determined security ri

About $3.60 per hour vs 2.89. Almost 25% more, so a good deal more.

I've never gotten any contacts through Indeed, unless we're talking about small staffing firms fishing lowballing and fishing for my resumes.

Agreed. Airtable is only projected to have $150M in sale in 2023. Even $1B is probably optimistic at this point. Asana founded in 2008 that went public in recent years is only worth $4B in market cap with over half a billion in sale.

"Many of the hires will be “boomerangs,” or people who worked at Salesforce before going to a different company, Benioff said. Attracting boomerangs is a new success metric for the company, he added."

Yes, I would feel scared to see my bank balance decrease. At any age. To not worry about that, I'd want at least $5mm in the bank, but I would still work just to keep myself sane.

Creating icon set from scratch is rather difficult and time consuming. It also requires a lot of research to ensure usability. What ends up happening is designers will just start from existing icon set anyway to stay close to existing con

I loved MacOS 8 as well. It was a nice improvement from the System 7.6. The only thing I didn't like about MacOS was occasional system lock-up and application crashes due to real multi-threading. Back then, when your Mac crashed, it c

I love the idea. I wonder how the mgmt will react short and long term. My guess is there will be even more aggressive attempt to develop engineering center outside the US. (Vs outsourcing to ibm or offshore consulting.) This was already
