DrFunke··on The pace of major breakthroughs has declined
Part of the issue here is classifying non-linear ideas in linear terms (i.e. Bubble or no Bubble).

Put the book down, John Galt.
DrFunke··on Show HN: A mostly complete 2014 "Tools of the Trade"
"ElasticSales is currently booked out for the rest of the year and therefore not able to accept any new clients at the moment."

Any alternative Sales as a Service recommendations?

...A Buddhist of convenience?

The fact that they say they'll be used sparingly is what makes me uneasy.
