Do a roadmap. Fixed scope small project that you get paid for where you define requirements. Deliverable is a functional requirements doc. It derisks the project for them, and gives you more confidence when quoting a fixed scope fixed price

> you have to realize that there will be fewer such startups if a tax on unrealized capital gains is passed, and that VC activity, along with the future startups chasing their money, absolutely will move to countries without such a tax.

Was looking for one in Canada. Tried this out and it seems like some of the data is missing from where I live (halifax). Got an email I can hit you up at? Mine's in my HN profile - couldn't find yours on HN or your site.

Personally I’d way rather work on that software than some social network. I like unsexy b2b and would state that right out if I was interviewing for that company. Which I think is the point - it takes all kinds and you’re better off picking

The broader point is if you care about sports you understand the passion and that there’s often “a way” of doing things in a sport, you learn it, and you move on. You don’t argue for 10 minutes that your way of displaying a box score is bet

Enh. When I interviewed at ESPN the first few questions were about sports knowledge: were you a fan who understood the storylines and stats? Or did you just want a job? If you had somehow managed to slip through the HR screening without bei

Tried it. It doesn’t integrate with what I use and it has a whole other time blocking workflow. It’s a big change from a GTD style workflow.

Boy would I love an task manager to respect the fact that work happens in other tools, and provide a centralized layer on top of the tools I integrate with.

If you organize your life using a todo app then $8/m is not even worth thinking about. It's 1.5 coffees.

Agreed re: 18 months. Been using Things for 8-9 years now, tried Sunsama, Todoist, and Amazing Marvin but keep coming back to Things. Godspeed looks interesting enough vs Things to kick the tires b/c: 1. Speed of date picking and movi

I have both Things for Mac and iPhone. The money's trivial for organizing my life. I don't want to spend a second more in my todo app than necessary and would rather pay to have things just work.

Pay no mind to this guy/gal. S/he's not your ideal customer. $150 once for an app to organize your work and personal life is a screaming bargain.

I am Canadian and lived a literal stones throw from the site in question for 4 years. The real issue is that Vancouver is full of NIMBYs who want sightlines, low density, and “character” preserved. It’s basically encoded into the zoning law
