Three points: (1) I don't think this is the reason it did not work. There are lots of things that make you look like a dork -- PCs, airpods etc -- but they took off like rocketship…

Is there a tl;dr for the sum knowledge?

This is not a criticism of Blitz which looks fine. From what I can see, it is better than fine. However, this reminds me of the early Rails (or even Rails 4.0) demos that I saw whe…

If he or she were dead, but their writing and code is extant, presumably they could still be identified.

Would love to know if you found it useful, learned from it, was it worth the time, what went wrong etc. I have nothing against service providers and think the people providing thes…

Not directly relevant but it got me thinking: Has anyone tried to use the source code and white paper to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto might be? If you can figure it out from bin…

Zen Koan: Before I began my studies in Zen, I thought a tree was a tree and a stone, a stone. When I started to study Zen, I could see that a tree was not a tree, and a stone was n…

The issue isn't the tool to get your blog up, but hosting it. The real solution will be a super easy app that lets you push the blog out to: - git* pages - digital ocean/vultr/aws/…

The point is, this was not meant to be advice! This was anti-advice. You can't use the criterion: if it is insightful it has to be actionable on an insight that says "I have no act…

Note: you had to be kind and nice enough for the former boss to care enough to: - ask you to email - read it and understand what you do - follow up and spend the company's money ed…

The things that you think are going to take a long time will take a short time and the things you think will take a short time will take long. So, for instance, if you have 4 hours…

This looks great so far. Eager to hear from all the people who are going to point out the other platforms that are similar so I can learn about them too.

You’re right.

So you’re saying it great practice! Do a study on the survival rate of the average AngelList offer. I didn’t say penny stocks. You can try names you know and like: SMAR, SSTI, PS, …

Have you considered getting your start by investing in micro cap tech stocks? The transaction is much easier. You get all the risk of total wipe out you may crave. But most importa…

> I would absolutely expect people to give that up, as well as any senior economist student would tell you, the labor preference curve is backward-bending after you start making a …

Huh? This seems like a non-sequitur. What does leaving in 2 years have to do with your worth this year? How many years would he have to stay to pay off this year? By that logic hir…

You're looking at it the wrong way (i think). The point is not that he is starving, or that he is desperate. The point of that number is what he gave up! The point is he gave up a …

confused as to why someone who owns a lot of shares would want to take a "big risk" "without reason" during "normal times." Wouldn't a person with a lot of stock not want to take a…

The comment:code ratio is higher than anything I write or that I’ve seen. However, it does give me some comfort. When it’s not gamed, do other HNers also feel that a high comment:c…

I just assume that, in order to qualify as an exaggeration joke, it had to be both an exaggeration and a joke.

Rockstars are definitely a thing in real life. They may have long hair or tight clothes. They sing or play instruments and are often surrounded by fans. Unfortunately I’ve never se…

There is also another issue with “just works” and meeting specs: specs are almost universally under constrained. I might describe an admin interface in terms of what it controls bu…
