The 3rd rule is something we look directly for when hiring. If there is a direct passion (ex. Edtech) to draw from, it makes the candidate stand out from all the other "iOS dev" "DevOps" etc

Have you heard of or taken a look at Gimbal SDK? http://www.gimbal.com - it consumes about 3% battery for always on GPS/location...

I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned http://www.launch.co - @jason's news ticker. Switching to just that has been the most productive thing for my time, and still feel comfortable I'm not missing any relevant news.

Classy response/apology. I would have also personally tried to find a unique/obvious subject line in the same direction as Francis took to get Mark Cuban's attention.

PM as in Project or Product Manager? (there is definitely some overlap though) I look for a couple things, and ask questions that help evaluate their: 1) Technical background 2) Product instincts & creativity 3) How they've earned leade

For companies that are trying to "recruit" you away from your current employer, they are already aware I would assume. Also, it seems like it would be make sense to deny an offer/opportunity if it's less than what you're currently making an

Depends - I would go back to the current place and see if they were willing to match. Also, if that were the case, it would mean that: * I under-valued, or under-negotiated my current compensation * The current company doesn't value my skil

It's understandable why Kickstarter has enabled and are enforcing their new project guidelines & rules. It's a shame however when good products that are fully functional and prototyped are tossed into the photo-realistic renderings or s

I'm curious to see how Joel, Leo, and Tom perceive this open-source version effecting their business. I'm a long time buffer user, and paying customer, and think that this would actually help the sales pipeline for them. The MVP of Circular

Does anyone else on HN think this is a growing trend? - Services/Startups that start really wide and then begin to pivot by narrowing in scope/niche (ex. An exec for all things -> building an Uber for cleaning service)

What about APIs/SDKs like Betable? I know it's a UK based company, but does this allow others outside of UK to legally use it (ex. in the US?)

There is a grey area that also exists for "dating" applications (ex. Grindr) etc that could be used for other purposes.

I like this product - and could see myself using it. I'm curious if you are using native region monitoring for iOS? I'm do Product & Business Development for Gimbal ( http://www.gimbal.com ) - and think I have a solution that you can us

I think the real take-away is to give yourself an actionable/completable project, that you can devote significant blocks of time to, and then feel good when you complete them.

I've actually employed this exact strategy. I created targeted hit-list of bloggers that wrote about my competition or similar competition. I also created a field that had sentiment analysis, so I read the previous article they wrote to see

I think that your #2 - traveling - is something that is highly valued as an activity that people want to do/do more of by insiders in the tech industry. It's interesting that even though you now have infinite ability to travel, it even wore

I feel like this is a common problem - we all get presented with many opportunities to join startups that become great. I remember reading a similar post that was about how an engineer felt about turning down the opportunity to be a 1-10 em

It's great to see the labeled points on the graph relating to the timeline of events/mentions. I think it's worth to note that all startups should keep careful track of what types of events/mentions work well, and which don't.

Tranfer the Koprol domain and trademark back to the founders - the code they are trying to sell back to the founders...
