Years ago I saw a post on HN (or maybe reddit) about using reverse dutch auctions for these sort of situations and how it provided the fairest outcomes for all parties. It was the first time I had ever heard of that concept, and since then

Yeah i have all these ideas for what I would do to market this eventually. Life keeps getting in the way, but because at this point it provides me a lot of utility it doesn't matter to me that other people don't use it (i have sti

I started a wholesale bakery. It does about 20k/mo in revenue (we are not profitable). It's been super fun and rewarding. It's much more like building a software / tech startup than I expected it to be.

i love 33mail. I've been a user for years and I think it's amazing. I pay for it, and I have a custom domain (several maybe?) and use that in addition to the default free @___.33mail.com subdomain. People often ask me about my cus

Really loved this: > None of the people who report to me should really be focused on the current quarter. When I have a good quarterly conference call with Wall Street, people will stop me and say, “Congratulations on your quarter,” and

A joke, of course, and I understand your sentiment :) FWIW, if we can/do get to the stage where we are really able to do delivery subscriptions (that's definitely a goal), then we probably will use that language. It's not tha
