I'm pretty convinced there are a lot of sellers on these third party marketplaces that arrive with a truckload of Widget A - once Widget A sells out, they're gone... on to the next thing or rebranded and selling Widget C. Especial

Best Buy has done a pretty admirable job digging out from what seemed like a surefire death sentence. Target and Walmart weren't dead, but Amazon was eating their lunch. What they are doing much better at now is the hybrid e-commerce&#

I can see how it can do just that, but I explain our "culture" as best I can before evaluating candidates against it. Example: My workplace has a great deal of change, bordering on ambiguity. We need people who can deal with that

From the article: If you think you flubbed an answer, ask during the interview for what they were looking for! Or, I've had success framing that up at the end of the interview as: "Is there anything I didn't say today you hop

Are you insinuating that any improvement is not worth pursuing? Let's look at this a different way: I have COVID and I'm contagious. I don't know that, of course, so I go to the grocery store. The same grocery store you'

I have respirators and filters left over from home improvement projects - have you ever tried to communicate through those? Your voice takes on this indescribable warbly tone. I wouldn't want to try and accomplish any errands wearing o

The "old" Reddit we loved is precisely what kept a lot of people away - it was walls of text with basic, minimalist design language. I personally loved it (hence why HN appeals to me) but I understand why lots of folks wouldn&#x27

I actually considered doing so, but frankly, upon broader review of the situation, it's clearly a lost cause. I genuinely don't think Etsy cares to solve this problem.

Etsy used to have a much higher ratio of what I would call artisanal goods to the mass produced drop-shipped crap prevalent now. I recently shopped Etsy for a handmade lamp. I filtered to US-only, handmade goods. I waded through pages of ju

I started this as a habit last year - it has totally changed my gift giving. I think the recipients value the gifts more because they're more thoughtful and it's made the weeks leading up to Christmas much more relaxed.

That day was a nightmare for a lot of people - it wasn't just S3 that went down, it was like all of US-EAST. Luckily my company decided against multi-az for the cost savings so I spent all day firefighting.

Oh dear - from my small sampling of Wish deliveries, I would not use a Wish-sourced fuel filter in any machinery I wanted to keep around.

Currently in the US, YT Premium (Family) is $17.99/month.

I was happily a subscriber, but like most things Google does, they decided to switch things up for the sake of different. What I don't like about paying $18/mo for Youtube (family) is that they are still collecting truckloads of d

Agreed. I had Youtube Premium through Google Play Music until Google finally axed GPM. I was so disappointed by how poorly Google handled that process that I cancelled my subscription and lost my YT premium. Youtube is completely unbearabl

You can interpret anecdotal data however you see fit - I'm not going to run a survey to validate the hypothesis either way. That said, I think you'd be foolish as a potential investor to not consider that AirBnB appears to have so

The experiences that people report often indicate systemic issues within the platform/product, especially when they are as pervasive as some on the AirBnB platform are.* I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them. * I've had two

I had a long response typed out, but you said it better than I could. I think humans have a desire to work with their hands and see the fruits of those labor. As more and more of us push paper and sling 1's and 0's, we're los

Quite a jaded view of the world. This is more that just a boutique industry - this is how a lot of our food makes it to our tables; the part that hasn't been relentlessly mechanized, automated, and conglomerated, anyways. Is it a bit r

This is real - lots of previous BiFL brands/products have gotten significantly diluted over time as the company cuts materials costs, etc.

100% -- I never use my stainless frying pans because they are such a nightmare to get food to release and clean up afterwards. We use a cast iron and a nonstick - that's it. You can cover 95% of use cases with that.

I can see how censoring yourself to the point of silence is bad, however, as someone who spent a great deal of time expressing my sometimes offensive POV's with very little consideration for others, the forced filter and permanence of

The answer is somewhere in the middle, is it not? I am in the camp that we've over indexed on meat products in the weest(we eat too much of it) but I also believe that knife cuts both ways. Humans evolved eating meat - just a whole lot

You at least see how hypocritical that is, right? The Western world got to fulfill our gluttonous desires -- now, when it comes time for the developing world to get their turn at the table, we wag our fingers and say "Sorry, that'

I think it has already been rolled out to FB - I've seen a similar approach used on some photos posted to a FB group I am a member of. It does a poor job of "filling in" behind objects it moves, but it's a neat party tri
