Yes! We'll save 0.05%! That's 500$ for every million in sales. You must have huge sales to justify a switch.

1 million plays on Pandora is like one play on FM radio with an audience of 1 million, or 10 plays with an audience of 100,000. Either way, their royalties are more expensive than ones of radio stations. Pandora just bought an FM radio stat

Cool. Then if you use their findings published in this blog post, they will publicly shame you and your investors.

Funny how Amazon AWS newsletter gets flagged as spam by gmail each and every time. Even if I tell it 'not spam' each and every month. Something tells me Amazon SES will not get a better gmail treatment.

The Googlebot doesn't value design. You need content above the fold. Sorry but my startup needs organic growth, as I don't have millions to flush down the AdWords rabbit hole.

Most start-ups are permanently hiring because: a- they available workforce doesn't fulfill their needs b- they don't pay market salaries I think we shouldn't overestimate our job creation factor. Jobs yes, but what jobs? For 20-30 y.o. men?

Do you own shares in Reddit? Then I get it, as HN has no direct revenues. Else, what's the point?

Since when is 80k / year "high-paying"? Hopefully the per diems were high enough to compensate the salary level.

Because pure hackers create profit, but don't collect it. We need Business Hacker News. We need to educate them so they can get rid of the suits.

Oh my god, a good samaritan! I call that a slave... working in the US 'for about a couple weeks' and charge 300$. It makes out to... 3$ per hour? The art of underselling. You should have contacted CAT directly and upsell them exposing their

That's when you don't factor in 'skills'. If you're 'any' CS grad, you're right. Be if your skills are above average (CS and business sense), this skews the return of investment of the startup.
