This is one of my all-time favorite HN quotes: "Pick the weights up, put them down, eat food. It just not that complicated." Sincerely brought a smile to my face.

These are very cool. Especially the ones that appear to be natural features. Unfortunately, my first though upon seeing military installations camouflaged as cabins, barns, homes - that gives an invading enemy a good excuse to target civili

I got really into this idea a few years ago. It still gets floated from time to time (I recently saw high speed rail maps making the rounds). IF/ when ATL > Chattanooga > Nashville are connected by a leg, it will absolutely chang

just did the math here, $4,200 for 5 years. I'm forwarding this thread to some local leaders to see if we can get a similar relocation package here (Chattanooga, TN)

I agree. While its easy to point at Facebook and say "they are so creepy" - this sounds like the type of challenge every marketing department faces. "What is the attribution of X,Y,Z ad campaigns?" Connecting purchase +

the plan part is a really interesting idea.

this is the right response. if you see an early stage company using "AI", then assume they are manually doing most of the work right now. They may have a clever way of making it smart in the future

Every founding team / management team should be doing this or something like this. Even early on. Pre-CFO. Angel stage, seed stage. Whatever. When the "easy" money stops - which at some point it will - and raising "the n

I have been inaccurately predicting this for a few years (with a variety of big box stores/ many location stores). I think what I was most wrong about is AMZN thinks a lot about the geographic overlap of their customers and where they

I would like to nominate myself to be an outside Board Observer. JKan and Seibel are two of the best dudes in SV. Adding Marc and Anthony to the mix will make for incredibly fun board meetings. I will take notes if that role isn't alre

an upvote was not enough recognition for this comment. "I hope Trump does as much damage as possible." - I have heard almost this exact quote. Its difficult to empathize with the sentiment, but it is potent and its real.

these are great stats. I live in Chattanooga. I know 3 residential users of gigabit fiber. (I'm not 1. 100 is perfect). Don't get me wrong. The "gig" here has made a major impact. My company is based here and the change

I was really interested in this. The first intriguing thing I found was this product is owned by Dropbox. Slack eating into Dropbox's territory with (decent) file sharing / searching and Dropbox countering with a alternative chat&
