This can't be real.? I have family who worked at netflix.

Netflix must have brought their P.R. Consultant on full time for the last 3 months to write this post.

Moving an office like this scenario and timeline can and in most cases, does cause tectonic shift in the company's dynamic. There's a ripple effect through far reaching aspects of the employees lives that effect there work.

On another note- Office location can be the most personal aspect of business to an exec processing the decision. A territorial undercurrent is in play.

Tonymacx86 = a glorified Amazon Affiliate blog.

Dude is all about driving traffic to his amazon affiliate account. brilliant.

I can't complain because the site has helped me from time to time.

Tonymac has been good for the overall main streaming of the hackintosh movement. Back when OSx was $20 he forced the app store purchase (good i guess)

calimac··on Nonpolitical Images Evoke Neural Predictors of Political Ideology
Technical means of proving that social elements to political beliefs. Showing a picture of a SF rainbow parade to a conservative in a farm house in the mid west will elicit the same mental response as showing the rainbow parade participant a picture of the conservative in the farm house. This is purely social.
calimac··on Tell HN: How we bootstrapped to the #1 rated mattress on Amazon.com
Take a look at what is going on here. These guys are blowing a hole in the side of a high margin industry with a stick of dynamite and cleaning it up with their money catching machine Tuft & Needle.

The "you get what you pay for" point underscores the brilliance of Tuft and Needle's entrance into the market.

You must understand that there are industries, like mattress retailer, that have operated on artificially high margins for generations.

If you look at The company's competitive positioning you will see that they are vertically integrated, lean, and willing to blow apart the competition.

When 2 individual walk into the car dealership and separately buy an identical car. one pays full sticker, markup and a warranty. The other pays $100 over invoice. They both got the identical car; did they both get what they paid for?

I am impressed with the company's story and model. They are going to do well in the mattress business for a long time to come.

I bought a california king tempurpedic mattress from sharper image in 2003. It set me back about 1500 and at that time the other mattress manufacturers were not in the memory foam market. Today, the mattress performs impecibally.

The 5" is suitable because of their foam construction layering and density.

The real deal will be the price point on the 10" model

calimac··on Why can a scam company raise $40 Million Series C + $76 Million Series B?
Pay attention. There is no solution to this dark design short of caveat emptor. I agree, justfab.com are using deceptive design practices; dark design frustrates me as well as many who understand that it is designed to take advantage of the less sophisticated consumers.

Why did your girlfriend not look at her credit card bill for 8 months?

Godaddy.com was one of the first to cross the line to unethical dark shopping cart design. what about their domain registration privacy product. It is free for the first year but impossible to cancel.
