   I had the same experience with Lowe’s. My takeaway was that nobody really cares about online orders bc they are a tiny fraction of Lowe’s business. When you call them, they direct online orders to a different extension - that told me right

   Not wealthy, but left NY for the South three weeks ago with wife and kid and are 100% open to never returning (other than to collect belongings), depending on employment circumstances. Like many, we both are somewhat insecurely employed in

   I largely solved this problem by charging $5 per RSVP on Meetup. I had to rent my venue, so nobody thought I was profiteering. That said, a deposit would probably work even better. E.g. you put up something like a $10 deposit to RSVP, and a

   Didn't Meetup sell because Facebook basically said they were going to own groups? I'm not sure that ever happened.

   That's the problem - Meetup _really didn't want_ their organizers to be businesses. They wanted them to be political discussion groups or whatever. Meetup should have been Eventbrite, and they could have, but they sort of turned t

   While we're on Germany, why is it common practice in the German press to specify the age of any person in a print article? Even when it is irrelevant to the content of the article?

   Airbnb would be every bit as successful with a Craigslist or Amazon interface, while saving millions in front-end salaries.

    TV in a bar is already an annoyance unless “the big game” is on. Interrupting an annoyance with an intrusion (“hey if you don’t buy these wings you’re practically losing money!”) just won’t engender good will. I’m not implying this won’t wo

    I want to see ads from the business I am sitting in even less than I want to see ads for car insurance. I cannot be alone.

    They've massively overbuilt their product, and I'm sure wasted millions in the process. I recently booked and I had to actively avoid CTAs for things I wanted nothing to do with: tours, food offers, I don't even know. Finding

    NYC, same story. But, as others in the thread have suggested, what will rush in when these leveraged AirBnB hosts lose properties will not be a bunch of normals with jobs and families, it will be a bunch of new investors who can buy cheap w

    You can, however, choose the circus you join. If you feel meh about what you do and you feel meh - or worse - about the organization you do it for, it's normal to feel uncomfortable.

    There is no example of a place where the net impact of tourism is positive. Not in the era in which we live, certainly.

    As a user they've never sold anything to, I can't even imagine a valuation of $53m. I am not calling BS, I'm wondering about the business and the moat that justifies these numbers.

    I’ve used Netlify to host small business client brochure sites and everyone is happy. But I did it on the free plan. I’m quite unsure where the valuation comes from.

    Actually Moviephone predated widespread cell phone usage. It was just seen as a novel AND useful way of getting movie times. There was no Google, you had to look through the paper and find ads for individual theaters to know where and when

    I wonder if that correlates to the local and affordable seafood also having disappeared. There's a limit to the number of customers you can attract with calamari and other things formerly considered bait.

    Will they really be able to compete with Amazon pricing and free shipping? And pay affiliates out of a remaining margin? I suspect not.

    More like less-tech but my phone is on permanent-silent mode. I miss calls, but see exactly who called and can return the call or text as needed.
