Seems like this was note quite true. CSGO finals had about 3m https://www.dexerto.com/news/e-league-csgo-major-breaks-view... The 2017 Superbowl as one example, had 114M. http://money.cnn.com/2017/

I care a great deal about this story as someone who went to UVA and worked both there and afterwards on issues of sexual assault prevention and awareness. But why is this on Hacker News?

I took my first programming class in college. I was originally going to be an english major, and then changed my mind. I went on to earn a major in computer science, have worked in the field for more than 6 years and was the CTO of a succes

Congrats to the Caviar team! My wife broke her leg two months ago and Caviar was a lifesaver to help us avoid the boredom and monotony of pizza and Chinese food every night.

Fastly can easily be setup on top of s3 and we have been super happy with their basic layout and then their advanced features as we needed more (ssl content delivery, selective purging, etc)

This seems like exactly the sort of advice that is great in retrospect once you reach scale but is effectively useless until you hit that point. There are far more important things for a startup to worry about (product market fit, retention

No worries! All of us over at PA were more amused/surprised by the analysis than reading malice into it. Just very strange to have it happen to you!

Yeah, could not agree more. The thing with partners is that they are almost always actually 1) customers or 2) sellers in relation to you. So what is actually happening is you are spending lots of time, working on implementation and product

Thanks Jacques! Your writing, especially about the business of startups was one of the things I read when just starting out and when the times got tough.

Just to echo Brad from the tech side specifically - HN has been a tremendous source of help, advice, network and everything. It really has made much of what we built possible in that I cannot imagine doing this without HN and the people we

1) that joke was sexist, and Brad Feld's follow up after she called him out was more sexist. She may have a relationship with Brad which supersedes the joke itself and that makes it okay in the narrow context of their relationship, but

I agree that this is balanced advice, but I worry that it is actually another way of masking the problem. In the example she gave with Brad Feld, his response to her critique wasn't really LESS sexist, just more absurd. That may just b

This is why I am always so impressed by your writing Jason. Thanks for 1) taking to the time to write these articles and the more advice-style ones, they have always been useful to me as a founder and 2) being honest and open (to the exte

I think you are misunderstanding that most Comic Book Store Owners are also fans, and are always eager to get the most ways to access content out there. Also, Comixology (currently at least) has their Comics Retailer platform (ie https:&#x

I don't get this response or AznHisoka's - this seems like fantastic advice on how to build a startup. It's the team that is going to solve the biggest, most interesting problems that are harder than one person, and being abl

Having essays is not the only way to do it. The other way is to just be willing to wait for the right hire. At my company, we have a small engineering team so far, but we have taken a long time for each hire with the basic idea that they ne

I dislike this article because it uses the auspices of privilege and bias to talk about one guy being essentially a fool in the writer's eyes. Privilege and bias are not the reasons I point to for anyone refusing a seemingly good offe

Yes, but how any individual responds to a treatment like that is not obvious. Some people respond with understanding and compassion, actively avoiding similar behavior. Others learn marginalization as the standard forms of group interaction
