This is common knowledge for the marketers/analysts that I work with. Have you ever run GA on a high traffic site or app? Google gives you warnings. They're small at first, but when you're really hammering them and aren&#x27

Thanks - I still like the saying, though I'm not sure how to correct it now. To me multiple anecdotes signify a small uncontrolled, non random sample set, that you really shouldn't use to draw conclusions.

Holy hell - I have got to look this guy up. Edit: I did some reading. A lot of sources referenced a very abrasive manner. That could have been a major factor into why his ideas weren't used more.

Interesting. So you're saying that it boils down to being branded as a communist because of the history of the US. I'm Canadian, so the irrational fear of communism/socialism is much lower here. Not that I'm advocating

As an aside, I really dislike the term 99%. By a lot of metrics, I'm in the 1%, as I imagine a lot of engineers are. I think it's really the 99.9%. Being in the 1% top income in the country kind of rings hollow if you still can&#

From your comment I get the sense that Steve might as well be speaking a language you don't understand. I recommend reading this: http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/11/11/the-gervais-principle-i...

You should probably cite something to avoid getting downvoted. e.g: http://www.bricklin.com/wontprogram.htm

Ah, yes you're right. I forgot HN was https and didn't bother to check.

ycombinator will be listed in the referring url within Google Analytics. The reports won't be super clean, it's really not that hard to figure out.

I think that more importantly they were either run by carriers or crippled by carriers. iPhone changed the whole carrier/manufacturer/customer dynamic for the better (this is coming from a diehard BlackBerry user).

This is awesome. I know what I'm doing with my four year old this weekend. I have been building the triangle bombs with him with paint stir sticks and he loves them.

This can be restated for almost every business there is. It's why sales guys are paid so well.

I live in Waterloo. Toronto dwarfs Waterloo. It's not really close. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of great stuff going on in Waterloo and I love living here, but Toronto is so much bigger and has so many more opportunities

Due to her education and experience she is probably in a much better position than people without those skills - even for a service industry job.

I wouldn't paint all tipped jobs with the same brush. I used to deliver pizza in high school. I got tips. I lived in a rural area and usually a "good" tip was $1. I had zero choice for jobs. I competed with many other des

This might be the core of the issue. If businesses complain that they can't find any good developers for $60K/year, we say that they should be paid appropriately. I hear a lot about teachers in the states being terrible, and I als

Jesse Jackson said this: “There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Does that mean he is a racist?

This happens every day. The police call is resiting arrest. Usually the police win due to overwhelming force, but in cases where the force is more equal (e.g. during a large scale protest) people who are arrested by police are sometimes fo

On the spot, like cash directly to the cop? Are you describing a bribe?

I don't work in ad engineering, but I do work in marketing/advertising analytics for a major brand. I get contacted by recruiters every week, so I find any talk about a shortage of jobs in this field to be laughable.

I don't understand your comment. He complains that it is too hard. Isn't that also your point?

I do analytics for a major brand you have definitely heard of. We spend way more than $46K/year. I agree with Jacob here. If you are willing to work at it, facebook can give you a very healthy ROI. It is not nearly as easy as with Go

Are you serious? Don't they have anywhere to play? Like a park? I find it hard to believe that poor kids don't have anywhere they can play. If not, I don't know how better off people in the UK can live with themselves. I

Thanks, I've had success at web analytics Wednesdays. I don't have one in my local city, but I have organized one and it had a great turnout. Speaking at conferences and on panels has been good as well, but my company is on a do

Not the standard for a surprising number of very large companies or very large digital agencies. It should be, but in my experience this is not the case.
