I have a friend who used to start every meeting with writing down how much the meeting will cost the company (pp person/hour, etc.) on a whiteboard. They worked for a university's budget controller, so large meetings were regular,

Honda LaneWatch (blind spot camera) is easily my favorite car safety feature. Unfortunately, it's more expensive to manufacture, compared to standard blind spot warning systems, and the average customer does not appreciate it (by sales

Also consider non-Western languages (CJK, Russian, Arabic). My team got bit by this when we discovered we couldn't render emoji's client-side.

It took a stressful few months for me to make this similar realization. I don't know why it felt so profound at the time, but I imagine a lot of developers (myself included) get their start wanting to create stuff that people want [to

That's an incredibly empathetic approach to interviewing, I'll try to keep that method in mind. I tend to be overly critical to a fault. How do you phrase or bring up your praise/concerns?

One of my favorite Mac (anti-)games was a zen-like, music space platformer called Tranquility[1]. The relaxing "floating" gameplay was interesting enough, but the generated ambient music was the best part. I'd leave that runn

Flat design looks nice, but provides less affordances. In practice, flat designs have less detail, so convey less information. This leads to uncertainty/doubt/cognitive load where there was none before. Compare flat to skeumorphic

What do you mean by microphone? Is audio analysis of keyboard chatter a thing or are we leaking passwords when we verbally communicate them to a co-worker? I don't think this is related, but I found this keylogging technique combining

Hi HN, I built this tool to help me bootstrap various work environments using iTerm2. Profiles never quite clicked for me and so I chose juggling a few .applescripts for my least hassle solution. This is a WIP and I'd love your suggest

Thanks, Sam! Q: I was curious what types of tools or applications YC uses to operate (manage applications, track feedback, or schedule meetings, etc.)? Can you share your stack?

Beautiful tool! Something seems unfinished with the column-to-position associations. Maybe they need some more style to communicate the purpose a bit clearer? (e.g. representing the columns-to-positions in a table style, or more vertical pa

I don't know either, but it looks like the transcripts are initially generated from speech recognition (text dump + timing meta data?) and then hand-edited/annotated by a producer. They'd add punctuation, sound cues, fix spel

Absolutely, an unsolicited SMS would drive anyone mad, but they're also incredibly low-friction and useful for appointment reminders. Case in point, Ramit Sethi regularly holds one-off sales webinars and ends all (?) of the RSVP (&quot
