I've never understood why people whine about upvotes. If there were no upvotes, would you not even post? Do you only post so you can be validated by mouse clicks of people you don't know?
Wow. Talk about missing the point. He's obviously not talking about how the whole hospital is run. He's talking about using selective technology to make certain things run better.
Regardless of whether or not it's a better watch, unless it has an Apple logo on it somewhere and they hide the Motorola logo, then I doubt very much that that would ever happen.
If you're using Stripe as your payment processor and using Apple Pay through Stripe (just like choosing a different credit card), then you're still only using one payment processor. All your transfers, transaction data, accounting, etc. is just done through Stripe. You don't care that the customer actually used Apple Pay.
I'm pretty sure that "recruit", in this context, means "expose to Y Combinator and encourage to apply if they have a good idea", not "give them a higher chance of being accepted because they are black".
The prototypical HNer is probably trying to start a business or passionately underpaid at a starup and making a fraction of what they would get paid working a normal job. Yeah, trivial.
Do you find that you're limited to using desktops/laptops because of the client requirement, or are there good options for adding posts from phones/tablets?
There's no shame in failing if you haven't taken your customers' money. "Kickstarter" is not synonymous with "give us your money and we'll try really hard, but if we fail, bummer for you".
The comment is garbage, but I don't think an anonymous, unmoderated comment is going to stop the type of women who speak at these sorts of events from wanting to come back.
I've seen zero pretentiousness from Andrew in all the years he's been doing interviews. If I had to rate hime on a pretentiousness scale, I might even have to give him a negative rating. Humble-bragging about your low-pretentiousness-tolerance being a "personal fault" is laughable.
Applies to golf and pool for me. But I start off as a bit better than average while sober, in the zone at four or five beers, then I fall off a cliff after that. Relaxation and looseness apparently have a very narrow maximum window of effectiveness while drinking. Go past it, and you're hosed (but I always had fun getting there).
I think this is a good attitude in a general sense, but I don't think failure needs to be sugar-coated. If you have a goal, set out to achieve it, and you don't, then you failed. If you learned some valuable lessons along the way, that's great. If you deny failure, I think that's being dishonest with yourself so you don't feel so bad. Failure should feel bad as much as success should feel good.
You're jamming several different types of answers into single selections, then leaving gaping holes in other areas. If you want hours, just do hours. If you want sentiment, just do sentiment but you're going to need way more options. If you want to do hours and sentiment, you'd need about 25 different options just to properly cover what you're indicating here, not even counting all the holes you've left.
Over-the-top epidemic??? Pretty silly exaggeration. In a male-dominated industry, you'll never be accused of gender bias as a male if you use feminine subjects in your sentences. So if we say "he" all the time, we're gender-biased, and if we say "she" all the time, it's an epidemic?
This sounds nice, but the problem is that the author creates value, the downloaders receive value, but no exchange is made. The idea that the author has to create MORE value to MAYBE be able to participate in an exchange is just a weak argument for people who don't want to admit that an exchange should take place right off that bat, and if not, the downloaders should not receive any value from the author (i.e. don't download and read the book).
It used to annoy me, but now I'm just amused when someone tells me what I should think is important when he's not even putting importance on those same things himself. HN trolling at its finest.
If a customer was treated like this in an Apple store, you wouldn't call it a front, but it would be really strange. If a customer was treated this way in an Apple store, and Apple franchised their stores, and the owner of the franchise controlled the staffing, the argument would be valid. Apple and McDonald's can't really be compared the same way in the context of Paul's suggestion.
