Lure fishing "cast and retrieve" as opposed to waiting is very common and not at all just a bass thing fyi. Maybe it has something to do with the particular species here in mid east coast Australia but fishing stores have tons of

Sure, I understand where the risk is coming from. I don't understand where the unfairness is coming from.

How is that an unfair playing field? People being rewarded for productive risk taking is one of the fairest things I can think of.

If good means experienced/senior, which is what the people pulling those numbers in are, then yeah I certainly don't think startups are anywhere near competitive with big companies for talent. I don't think they really need t

Founders don't work many more hours per day than early employees at x100 less than early employees. They work many more months/years before earning an income at all. By the time the employees start to get hired, a large part of th

Hi Paperwork and forms are 0% of what you should be doing. That's just basic accounting stuff that should be generic and cheap for them to handle if you're just one guy doing consulting. It shouldn't take up any of your energ

I believe the commenter was criticising the concept not agreeing with it.

You do that because its not an either/or decision, and the bidding nature of digital advertising means the lower effectiveness will be reflected in what you're paying. You can be paying a premium for people searching to buy garden

Thanks! Pretty concerning that a lot of hn commenters seem to be with the nytimes on this. I'm the filthy saas salesman that should be tainting this place with their ignorance. Everyone else is meant to be more informed on these thin

Non-developer here. Can someone check my understanding of this situation for me please. Facebook or any other website has information that ideally only I should have access to. I don't visit Facebook hq with my id in hand to get it, I

Does those people being wrong mean anything from a moral /rightness / "getting screwed" perspective? I make mistakes like anyone else, sometimes pretty big ones to the tune of quite a lot of money. Wouldn't say I&#x

you're right, people can't. If you want shot at a significant chunk of a multi billion dollar sale you start your own company. As the github founders did. If you want up be paid $x a fortnight right from the get go then you get a

When you raise that money after four years of success, sure why not?

Claques are nothing new. People have been rigging crowds for a very long time. It certainly doesn't seem newsworthy to me that tech is doing it.

Any action by anyone will be objected to by some if the audience is large enough.

Irrelevant. That's like asking why someone is moving a tiny car around a board while playing monopoly just because they had suggested poker for games night. Someone can prefer the world be a different way while still participating in i

I don't see what the sentence "its how the world works" has to do with "marketing is not evil". At least not for your argument.

Possibly just ignorant. Most people have never/will never be in charge of large budgets. A normal consumer with a normal job is only really going to encounter the lower end of the field.

How expensive are your staff? These all sound like wins or at least not losses to me given that even unskilled staff are super expensive compared to these things. Microwaves are like what, $100? Couches? Another couple hundred? Whiteboards?

I'm surprised to see basically only books on how to be better at making software. Nothing on negotiation or other soft skills like that. Do people generally just not value things like negotiating? Or do you just not think a book would

I am tall. If I visited a hypothetical land where they spoke English with the exception that the word "tall" now means "a rapist" I would avoid using the word. Not because of any height related shame but because I don&#x

You can be proud of the term as per your understanding of it, but if you use it as a description of yourself then you're relying on people sharing that understanding. From my experience that's often not the case.
