    Perfect timing as we have a huge need for this for an upcoming launch. Question...will you be able to replay/backfill as you add new integrations? For example, Klaviyo is a huge ho…

    Craiglist generates tons of cash, wildly profitable, no investment Bose has always funded itself via profits for 50 years with no outside investment. $3b-$4b revenue last year. Bea…

    As a former early Munchery (and Airbnb) employee, you sound like the worst type of arm chair quarterback – hopelessly wrong. Munchery was first mover in the space and is an order o…

    This. I've been back multiple times over the years to run some small campaigns for some big startups there and can't believe how bad and rough around edges their tools and processe…

    I've managed tons of product launches at Airbnb, Munchery and other startups as a consultant. Do not launch on Thanksgiving. Trust me. Delay until the week after. Also you should k…

    definitely this. Can get more expensive quick too, especially if a video requires multiple locations, multiple actors, multiple actors speaking, etc etc. Also I can't remember if A…

    FWIW the Airbnb video stars a very talented Airbnb employee, Venetia Pristavec, who ran video efforts there since the early days.

    Everything. Researching is horrible. Purchase flows suck. Fees suck. Portfolio analysis terrible – For example on a stocks page there isn't even an easy way to see existing positio…

    Not super active. Few trades a month. Mostly for fun and to get skin in companies I believe in. Sharebuilder is horrible. Will check out Schwab thanks!

    Ask HN: What do you use to buy and sell stocks?

    I signed up for sharebuilder a long time ago and it pretty much sucks. I've only been using it because of inertia while waiting for Robinhood to finally launch. My personal needs a…

    I have a feeling this story is far, far from being over. And I'm very curious as to how the fuck this happens. I haven't seen many theories in general, let alone theories with much…

    No they can work fine anywhere just like Dominos can. They just need to get transaction/delivery volume up, so that density of orders shrinks the coverage area for any given "drive…

    As a former Airbnb employee, this is honestly the only thing I don't like about the rebrandredesign! Airbnb pry has one of, if not THE, world's largest collection of amazing real e…

    Are you managing your FB ads in house or via agency? It sounds like in house, which I always highly recommend is best. However, you might consider reaching out to one of the big FB…

    Back-weighting seems backwards to me, especially for early employees. They receive less options for the risky, earlier stage and more options for once things are stable and proven.…

    Thanks for for doing what you do Andrew, and congrats on the 1000th video. When I was still early in my career and living back in the midwest, I still remember binge watching Mixer…

    Any recommendations on dropbox alternatives? I've been a happy customer for years but won't stay with a company that appoints a war criminal and spying apologist to their board.

    A brand new kia or scion is gonna be faster out the gate and cheaper than a 4 year old cadillac. But the cadillac wins on looks, power, durability, safety, fuel, utility, terrain/e…
