    The difference in conversions between free and $1 is not a matter of price. The hard part is getting someone to pay in the first place. That's why a model of free game with paid ad…

    At my last job, I had a little bit of experience on the other side of the hiring table – our founder walked me through our hiring process, and it was really eye opening. Any postin…

    > If you're trying to find a job, you're not applying for "anything and everything". You're applying for a specific role. Strong agree. I'd only add that you might have way better …

    Eh, I might be a whiner, but I seeing that nature.com, I expected something better than a Malcol Gladwell level article. Okay, the tip with anthropomorphisation is okay, and remind…

    It kind of seems like an intimidation tactic. Not too many artists will be willing to claim copyright infringement, if they can get hit with a suit in response. And in the meantime…

    Is it legal though? Article mentioned forbidding the use of crawlers. Besides, it talks a lot how they only link to the image... but that's not how AI works, right? Maybe after inc…

    Yeah, the annoying notifications are the visible part... but as far as I know, GDPR has a pretty serious impact if you're European. It allows you to ask private companies to delete…

    I think the entire idea behind safety is to start worrying before it becomes critical. Similarly with Covid, the right time to start worrying (on a societal level) was before the d…

    It was never considered common sense. Some variant of what you're thinking about might've been possible in a small society (say, when the shop owner in a village knew all his custo…

    I think there's a massive scale blindness here. Like, obviously I'd be in a big trouble if my password manager suddenly put all of my data online and it could lead to massive finan…

    If you want to go thay route, it might be better instead to add a % to all the prices, and then at the end give it back if someone left a clean table. Something like "as a small to…

    I think both of this comment is needlessly hostile. Like, starting the conversation with an accusatory comment of "hey, btw, did you think of this very super rare situation, or are…

    Except your concern is addressed even in the part that I quoted: "The growth factors [hormones] that are produced have a very similar structure to the human molecules and that is h…

    Hm, first, why exactly would you like to make this shift? Purely to train social skills? If so, I'd recommend finding some small sales side-gig over the weekends instead of doing a…

    For what it's worth, my experience was opposite to yours. Public speaking: once I built competency and realized I'm actually pretty good at it, I started enjoying it much more. Now…
