So basically people are learning that the first Google result, especially if visually "enhanced", is usually irrelevant advertising? That would concur with my personal experience, and is pretty much the same as what happened to standard siz

Airbnb's concept, however wonderful it may be when it does work, is full of practical and legal holes which are now beginning to emerge. The big question is: can Airbnb close those holes without significantly reducing the usefulness of thei

How about, sit back, watch what happens and learn . Even if one of us calls it right, which is sheer luck with so little information, the OP clearly has most to gain from experience . That is the only way to learn to correctly identify pr

Or you could just do that. I once had a junior dev that showed up in a suit (okay, no tie) every day . And this in an Amsterdam broadcasting and advertising company, the kind of place that makes the way people dress in tech start-ups look

Part 32904 in the continuing saga of "my stand-ups suck, so all stand-ups suck" . Sorry, not even going to bother with non-snark response. I did that the 32903 times before, and someone else already took the bait. But I'll bite on this tho

I see you're new to the internets. Sorry, that was cheap. However, in your haste to patronizingly chastise me you're making multiple faulty assumptions. a) I'm not new to HN. Just this account is. b)" Please, f... off " was descriptive refl

Learn English like a Dutchman and end up with a really confused British/American hybrid accent... ;-) Seriously, subtitles are the main reason most Dutch people speak English, traditional education has very little to do with.

I did exactly this, almost instantly, and the next first thing I saw because of that was this comment... I don't understand how people even get it into their heads to immediately ask potential users for direct access to my private informati

"Our template has as we speak been sold a 361 times within half a year and it's still increasing. Themeforest rated our template worth a $17." Yes it is. Which basically means the author is refusing to acknowledge the copyright of the Wor

A 40 year old degree in anything alone isn't good enough to stay employed in any field. Except maybe teaching.

Wait, wasn't the discussion about Wordpress themes having to be GPL (being purely derivative works) over and done years ago? You create a derivative work of GPL-ed software and call somebody else a thief for doing the same to you?

AirBnB may be the canary in the coalmine for tech, maybe more than the privacy issues surrounding the majority of the current tech business models. The industry idolizes "disruption" without taking any responsibility for the negative side-e

> "illegal theft of intellectual property" Say what? Such bizarre phrases make me seriously doubt the intelligence and education of the people who wrote this.

I'm tired of these kind of generalizations. Our open plan office is geared towards developers and quiet and peaceful 95% of the time. Standing rule is, you wanna talk, you take it outside into the kitchen or the meeting room. Simple. Also,

My body language will tell you if I want help or not. What phrase is used to initiate that interaction is completely irrelevant, but attempts to entrap me in an interaction I don't want will always yield a negative response. Just the level

On the one hand, I agree with the notion that "working with the established market" is a better business strategy. On the other hand, kissing up to reactionary incumbent market forces and even compromising your product to appease them leave

This has been an issue since the day I started programming for the web, back somewhere in '95. It has regularly come up on HN, and pretty much any programming related forum I've used since the mid-90's. As an industry at the heart of the in

To me, Jaron's arguing for a robust middle class seems more like an opportunistic smoke screen than the actual core of his argument. Especially if you look at his utterings from the point where he first "turned against the internet" (he use

Lanier would like to make a living as a musician the old-fashioned way, by selling albums through the music industry. Since the copyright-exploitation industry has been under threat he has cobbled together all kinds of far fetched "visionar

Doesn't that "gross an unappealing" apply to most US advertising. I don't know about you, but I thought commercials in my country (Netherlands) were stupid until I watched US television. I felt my IQ dropping with each commercial. Also: adv

If people would actually read what he writes on twitter instead of the sensationalist blog posts derived only from those tweets, they would get a much more nuanced picture.

This is an argument on par with "they hate us for our freedom". This kind of intellectually lazy and arrogant attitude will only serve to alienate SV further from the rest of society, which, not coincidentally, is one of the core arguments

It can be cost effective if there is currently no way to fully monetize the full productivity of the team, and the company is trying to survive without lay-offs. The only issue is that if you have a valuable workforce that has the option to

Tip for all founders with employees from someone who's worked for start-ups for decades: fucking delegate! And I don't just mean the work, that's the easy part. Delegate parts of the decision-making process you don't have the time for to ge

Equating ordinary swearing to "vulgar" is an American thing. I find it rather uncomfortable to repeatedly see threads in which Americans judge others (and each other) based on utterly irrelevant puritanical values rather than their contribu
