ParameterOne··on Ask HN: I don’t trust welding
If they are certified, welders have taken a test that uses x-ray to determine if they are a good welder. You could have your own welds tested....might ease your mind a bit. https://goo.gl/jrECSv

Hopefully I will have something to show you soon
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How to find a lead gen expert?
When you say funnel optimization, which side of the funnel are you talking about? And I am wondering if you really need lead gen or just a better idea of who your target customer is. Very specific target customers are usually easy to find....but you have to make sure you know how to talk to them, meaning, your towel page is selling "comfort and softness with upmost absorbency" but your customer might want to buy "looks great in your bathroom and the color won't fade"
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: As an employee of a company, how do you assess its health?
and they the men in suits should get paid more. Keep downvoting see if I care.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: As an employee of a company, how do you assess its health?
Yes. they must. be men. If there were a bunch of women in suits cruzin around I would be kinda stoked. haha. I almost didn't reply to this because I understand that you're trying to make a point but because your post has no value I decided to reply with a post of equal value.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Do you rent your modem from the ISP?
residential service? how much from Comcast?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Does Google Index “Secret” URLs Only Shared Through Gmail?
Google definitely reads your email (gmail). As an example, if I have the word attachment written in my email and then attempt to send the email without any attachments, google will tell me that I used the word attachment in my email but didn't attach anything.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Do I need a bug bounty program? Feeling a bit threatened by HackerOne
google trends says hackerone spiked today at 4pm on the 7 day search.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Any of you took a loss while trading? How did you handle it?
I lost $30,000 in two weeks trading options and futures. It seems like a considerable amount but that account was started only a couple months prior with $5000. For me it was fantastic and extremely depressing all at the same time. Unlike most people I don't mind great risk for great reward, and I always learn something. The things I know now are worth more than the 30k lost. That's how I handle it, knowing that I now have possession of information worth more that the amount lost....which means I can duplicate the performance at any time.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: What is the current state of quantum computers?
They are currently very fast.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Where to get reliable information on nutrition/health?
I went to several nutritionists with a similar quest after watching a video that explained all foods only have 7 things in them. It was money poorley spent. None of them could answer my simple questions. And all of them wanted to develop a meal plan for me. This was a classic buy what I'm selling not what you're asking for situation. I was going to go to the local college bookstore and get a book on it.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Can you truly lead engineers without being an engineer?
I don't think you have to be an engineer to lead but I do think the leader needs to see the vision/goal to properly communicate it to the engineers who make it happen.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Can you truly lead engineers without being an engineer?
Who is "we"?
ParameterOne··on ASK HN: Can a person's finger impression or fingerprint be genetically modified?
Personally, I think anything is possible.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is developing open source and then using it at my job wrong?
If I was your boss I would say two things: 1) Here are the reasons we have these protocols in place. 2) Tell me what you want to make and how it will help the company.

And in the upgraded version you can host it on server so you can share it with team members......plus it has a client side to show customers mock ups and such. Although you can add screen shots to the requirements in the free version.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: How do you communicate technical ideas from devs to non-devs, vice versa
Get your boss a free copy of Visual Use Case. He can write requirements, user stories, list actors, etc and it will automagically spit out UML chart that you can use to visualize the flow when you code. You can get an upgrade to TopTeam Analyst and that will also give you swim lane diagrams plus manage end-to-end Requirements Traceability for Business Applications, Products and Medical systemsmore.

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is value subjective?
touche. lol
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is value subjective?
I did miss his point. Best I could tell he didn't have one. So to me his comment had zero value. Do you think it should be down voted because it has no value to me even though it may have value to you?
ParameterOne··on Why is there no open source Financial Stock APIs?
When you say API, what interface is you application for? The non-licensed traders or the brokerages?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Is value subjective?
> It all relates to your standard of value.

My point exactly. Subjective.

ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Tired founders facing acquihire – please advise
Just because someone doesn't understand your post and downvotes it is no reason to have to explain. Some people have less than a cup half empty, they have it turned upside down. +1 to you.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Tired founders facing acquihire – please advise
He is trying to tell him not to give up. That you can fail your way to success. Can't you see that?
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Tired founders facing acquihire – please advise
DON'T TAKE THE DEAL. The only reason some company would want to acquire you is because it must have accretion value. Why don't you see if you can turn them into your biggest customer?? Stick with it, don't quit, you are three feet from gold.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: Tired founders facing acquihire – please advise
Too emotional? Emotions are thee only thing humans base decisions on, it's either pain or pleasure, which ever is stronger in the mind. And this guy didn't get punched in the face, I think you want him to fail.
ParameterOne··on Ask HN: I'm looking for a Mentor
>I don't think a mentor is going to fall for what you are describing here. It sounds pretty selfish.

Really? I'm not trying to trick anyone I'm just looking to see if there is anyone here who might be interested.

>Answer the question "why should I volunteer my $200 hr time to help you?"

I would be happy to answer that in a private conversation.
