Hadn't heard the documentary story, thanks for sharing! Were there any choices in the first few years that you think made a particularly big difference in setting Amazon up for wha…

I think you're overall on the money here, but I would probably be a bit more cautious on #3 (at least private units). Some of the managed rental providers that focus on urban marke…

Swedish and biased here, but as far as I understand a large share of the deaths come from nursing homes. The tactics to limit the spread in those homes failed. However, that is lar…

They're pretty transparent about that too: https://lambdaschool.com/the-commons/announcing-our-new-isa-... . They get a partial advance on the ISAs from other investors, but the bu…

Not sure about Second Measure specifically, but many credit card players sell anonymized purchasing data. Investors often look at this to predict how companies are performing.

Approach 1 doesn't give you a work permit. It's merely an explanation of how you can spend 90 days in the US as a EU citizen. But I don't think Yellow Incubator would dive that dee…

As others have said, there aren't any clear cut answers. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and you should ask a lawyer to be sure. At any rate, a few suggestions (assuming you're EU): …

Does anyone have the bull case counter to this? Similar to aresant I don't mean to belittle WeWork's achievement but these facts, alongside the headlines from CEO claiming that: "O…

Other than telling friends about it, anything users can do to help?

Looks great! I'm a huge fan of content like Alt-Shift-X and Every Frame A Painting, do you hope to move in that direction over time? Not necessarily yourself, but providing tools/s…

Seems like it. But you have some new models - like Lambda School - that are showing a lot of promise

Not OP but Kesté is great. This is their site: http://kestepizzeria.com/en/home/ Not to be confused with the Slice site, which is linked on Google Maps ( https://www.kestepizzavino…

Liked his post on LinkedIn[0]. A level of detail and personal responsibility that I don't think we see too often in these post-mortems. Hope their learnings enable Kevin + team to …

I hear you. I don't find the argument that robust given that everyone is limited by their time - car salesman included - but I hear you. Agree that more data helps. For a headline …

A fair point. However, those are all relatively fixed. A car dealer needs to buy a new car to sell one. They don't necessarily have to invest more in the items you mentioned to gro…

Yep, use it every day. Agree that it takes a lot of resources. But lack of investments in one aspect of the product doesn't mean that they haven't / aren't investing in other aspec…

By no means am I calling the product perfect. Resource hogging is an issue that is particularly important to most HN users. But would you say that they're _not_ investing in the pr…

But the inputs to his podcast are merely time (and one-time equipment costs). As you point out, a car dealership needs to spend a ton of money on the inputs, but that doesn't trans…

Also allows them to invest more in the product, which is great for the users

I think it's fair to say that those videos you linked are not examples of MVP / Lean, given how sophisticated the product was throughout the demo. The example that I've always hear…

Tried signing up but it crashed. Was able to create a team but then got a broken page at https://app.getctx.io/account/auth Working on something in similar space, so I'm curious to…

Thanks for sharing that. A few friends and I are trying to explore a product in this space, and what you said is pretty much what we've arrived at as well. If you have any other fe…

Thanks for sharing your POV

Thanks for sharing that, I'm a fan of threading as well but see a lot of Slack groups that operate as though it wasn't an option

would you use something that made it easy for you to save stuff from Slack in another place where it wasn't floating around? Like how you can star something for yourself, but inste…
