I didn't realize the comment I was responding to was from the OP. I really am sorry if I came off as harsh, but I stand by my comment.

I hope you're trolling. If not: I think you'll find find the HN community doesn't react well to either stealing content or complaining about the (quite reasonable, in this case) cost of people's products.

Anyone else just skim the title and then get disappointed when it didn't actually relate to homemade booze?

Although there's a lot more in-depth, actionable information out there, this blog post by Amy Hoy seems tailor-made to your question: http://unicornfree.com/2013/how-do-you-create-a-product-peop...

Genuinely interested in people's opinions: 1. Is this (a) an ad hominem attack on paleo's scientific legitimacy, or (b) an attempt to save the paleo community from the damaging effects of association with misogyny and racism? 2. I

Fair point, but I'll just point out that sunglasses are cross-platform and work on your TV, iPhone, iPad etc in addition to your laptop.

I've been using the item you linked to for about a year. I try to wear them if I'm using my computer or watching TV within 2 hours of bedtime. My anecdotal experience is that they do something to help me get to sleep quicker and s

Congratulations, by the way, on your great results!

Not to belabour the point, but I disagree. People who "have this mindset" probably appreciate this distinction better than most. It's just a domain-specific shorthand use of the word "carb."

by mga226 12y ago
"Carbs" in this context is referring to foods that have a high carbohydrate content, like potatoes, yams, bread, pasta, and to a lesser extent things like carrots, beets, parsnips etc. Foods to avoid if trying to keep carbohydrate

Fair enough, but I feel I should clarify my comment. I'm suggesting that if you feel the interview process is flawed even from the company's standpoint (i.e. not screening for the appropriate skills) your best approach might be to

An alternative view on this, which may seem cynical but which I find empowering: In their best form, these types of questions are a litmus test for whether you have a certain type of background. When they fail it's because they test fo

In my experience, coffee shops and the like are too loud, and if they aren't you won't feel comfortable speaking in your "interview voice". If you have a coffee shop with outdoor seating, that can work. I have done phone

Had to Google "Garanimals", but yeah. I'd imagined getting a little geekier about the details, along the lines of "Take 2 lbs from food list A, 1 lb from food list B, 1.5 lb from food list C..." but I may be falling

Probably, and to take it a step further, people who are already on diets of mostly processed foods could even see improvements from switching to 100% soylent, which I suspect underlies a lot of the "I went soylent and my blood work imp

With products like this, the concern is always that we "don't know what we don't know" about human nutrition. Our mechanical understanding of how nutrients do what they do is in its infancy, and human metabolism is mind-

The WHO defines 3 drinks/day for men and 2 for women as "high intake." Meanwhile among those who recommend daily alcohol intake for health, the typical recommendation is 2 drinks/day for men and 1 for women - a differenc

I tried something like this a while ago. Never really took, but might be worth another look. Thanks for the tip.

To be fair, this is an entirely retrospective analysis. I'd never thought about it until today.

It's interesting to think about the different ways I use tabs and how they might be better served. For example, I will often open a new tab to create a sort of "checkpoint", resulting in 5 tabs that represent different points

Totally agree with this, although it never occurred to me to suspect the sites are gamed. Rather, people making what they deserve don't futz around on salary sites. In my (totally anecdotal) experience Glassdoor undervalues by >=20%
