I see a lot of comments about people are amazed by $3k/mo advertisement spend and most goes towards salary. I would say they have chosen wisely. HN is a forum for technical startups and people who work in the field. Yet here they are,

Speaking of tests that never fail... I've seen contractors hand over code exclaiming they've met the 75% test coverage required by SalesForce's platform but never actually asserting anything.

I would imagine that they have an integration with dozens of providers. It makes sense to spread it out so your business cannot be bullied by any single third party dependency and you can pit them against each other to get favorable terms a

That's actually exactly what is happening in the market. R&D budgets at big companies are nothing in terms of market value when compared to small companies. To put a little wrinkle in it, it's both big companies outsourcing R&

I've been using DDG for a few years now as my primary search engine. I would say 99% of the time I can find what I need (just like with Google), and it's super useful with some of their integrations into stack overflow and related

I'm glad this is getting attention. I was vegan for a while, but couldn't handle the constant social pressures. However, I'm now mostly a home cook with basic non-processed ingredients, lots of veggies, and low fat protein --

I gave you an up vote, because that's the great thing about this industry -- there are many valid opinions and options for each problem. Its more about balancing tradeoffs then anything else. Mine stems from working in the industry for

Awesome! I was actually thinking of doing something similar, but with some key differences: - try and find transcripts and speeches each "suspect" has given. - Probably use a classification algo to try and determine who the author

Yep. I've done a few of these and it takes me about 3 days before I no longer feel the need to eat. I'm also the type of person who frequently forgets to eat lunch and breakfast.

I'm glad they did this because: 1) I didn't realize there were written reviews; and 2) I have found Netflix's move to up or down, and a percent recommendation a good move. For instance, I'm a sucker for space movies of a

You need to figure out what will have the biggest impact on the short (<1 month) and long term (6+months). Start by taking to your customers to understand their pain. Most likely they will be able to articulate short term pain points, bu
