Hi everyone! I built this project to fix a hole in the domain name industry that I’ve been victim of many times. Most drop catching services force you into public auctions and do shady things like auction off user domain names before they a

^This. The census don’t, generally speaking, tend to believe statistics and facts. And the media will always spin a bad situation to boost their click through rates. So, even though self driving cars may be 100% less prone to accidents (thi

I think it’s worth mentioning all degrees are worthless if you don’t know how to leverage them. If you get a CS degree from a top school just because you see what salaries are, not because that’s what you’re interested in, your career will

While two monitors with a standard window setup might be more productive, tools like Bettersnaptool or Magnet, which allow you to position your various open programs evenly on one display, will absolutely be more productive than multiple mo

How is a company like Allure an acceptable entrant? The fashion industry already falsifies clothing fitment by photographing tailored clothing on extremely attractive people. When you buy the same clothes, they don’t fit like they do in the

The actual price is literally right there on the screen. Potential gas savings is still a huge selling point to the market they're addressing (maybe not for you or I). I'm not sure this qualifies as "shady" when everythi

The key takeaway here is herion and meth dont travel further than the person doing the dugs. Smoking anything brings everyone around you into it, and for those who dont smoke it really sucks. But yeah, people will get something if they real

Ive been a huge advocate of this for a long time now, and I love that people have started considering it. Here’s the deal - it’s not a rights thing. It’s the fact that smoking cigarettes, no matter what, is a group act. You bring everyone w

This has been said about Tesla since it's inception, and has still yet to be an issue for them. Their supercharging infrastructure is so vast now that, if other automakers want to compete with charging options, they're better off

I second this. It also doesn’t help that they auto play trailers for whatever show you’re hovering over so you get distracted and can’t focus whilst trying to remember what show you were searching for. It really isn’t as user friendly as it

Yeah there aren’t any affiliate links yet. There will be. I used to build sites like this - the trick is to provide value for free upfront and gain and audience, then replace all the links with affiliate links when the traffic ramps. Needle

Be prepared to not get any credit where credit is due and to be blamed for everything. This is a position I was in for my own company and I will never put myself in a position like that again. I spent countless nights and 20 hour days writi

America lost its love of more than just the stick shift. I regularly find myself around people who just simply can’t drive safely. They don’t use their mirrors, they don’t know how to stop rapidly in emergency situations; I’m not surprised

Does this only apply to companies incorporated in the state? Most companies operating in CA (at least I assume the ones they’re trying to target) are incorporated in Delaware. Seems like this won’t make a difference if that’s the loophole.

I think your grandfather was a wise man. I have frequently noticed the best employees I’ve hired are not the top students. They’re self starters, independent, and “street smart.” I actually never ask about education, simply because true int

We should be careful with these types of articles and claims. Apple is trading at 18x earnings while Amazon is trading at 250x, as of this comment. Lower P/E ratios point to sturdier valuations in the market. In other words, AAPL is AC

Unfortunately I no longer use DoorDash. The concept was amazing, but I’ve had one too many questionable people deliver my food that the last time it happened I didn’t even eat it. I’m a huge fan of the “1 million jobs” type of companies lik
