Congratulations on launching. However as a potential customer interested in this space - I'm not sure the pricing/value prop is competitive for me. I used a service called InsideTracker (lab based blood test) earlier this year whi

It unfortunately seems like our best chance is to wait until Apple cracks down on this, as self interested companies won't.

I feel that as you build prototypes and make traction on your product, the "manager" types will find you :)

It feels weird that supporting crypto almost feels like a contrarian view judging from the comments here. It sounds like the author is describing crypto as a ponzi (rather than a bubble) and I'd agree too if crypto never ends up on del

I'm surprised to see this so heavily upvoted here on HN. I'd argue you just haven't explored enough around its possibilities. I just read this today. https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/14004598220808

Have you thought about de-emphasizing the less relevant experiences? Find the companies you're interested in, tailor your resumé to be mostly what is applicable, and then hint at your expanded experience. As an example, a one-liner on

Venkatesh Rao's description of a "writer/thinker" split is interesting and relevant here too. I agree with the spirit of pg's essay, but I also agree that there's probably more to it. https://www.quo

I disagree. It's unfair to label Wikipedia as simply an encyclopedia. It's much more than that - it's part of the Internet ecosystem. A 24-hour blackout on only the English version of the site is fairly reasonable to raise awareness of an i

Well, if you invested $25mm, saying such a thing would be perfectly reasonable. Also, keep in mind the context of the quote.. it's not referring to the current state of the product. There's probably a lot more we haven't seen from this arti

One gotcha I've noticed a lot is when people forget to check for Console object. Or they might do this (doesn't work): if(!console) instead of if(!window.console) or if( typeof console === 'undefined' )

Ah I see. And I agree with that. I meant he raises a good point on whether (from a web developer's perspective) you should use this Microsoft banner at all.

I disagree. I think he mentions a really valid point. Getting users to upgrade from IE6 is good thing, but it's even better to upgrade to Firefox or Chrome instead of IE8.

What does this post even mean? What is a front-end business vs. a back-end business? As far as complexity goes, I believe Amazon touches some hundred something services before a page is even served. It's no surprise that they decided to mak

I wonder what the author is using to judge whether this was a successful campaign or not. Although his being off by two orders of magnitude certainly doesn't help. At the company I'm working for, we did a campaign for Keith Urban and it did
