shiraabel··on Why I gave up on Asana after 15 minutes
I've been looking at project management tools for work. I asked on FB what people were using and received multiple recommendations for Trello, a few for Asana and none for Basecamp (which is the one I know best).

I played around with Trello and it's all about cards. My problem is that I want lists, not cards. Haven't used Asana yet. Basecamp seems to be the best fit for my needs (I want to see what has been checked off and create repeatitive processes).

You're the minority.

Why is every person focused on a guy in the pics? There's one woman in a pic with 4 guys and she's looking down working. A guy is in front smiling.

Do women not work in tech in Europe?

You're looking the wrong way. It's not about you.
shiraabel··on Ask HN: What happens to older developers?
Problem - the school systems are funded by property taxes. Live in a low rent area, your kids will be at a crappy school. It's why a family needs to be earning at least 200k, preferably 300k. Rent for a family of 4 is at a minimum of 5k - 6k. The alternative is to live in the midwest, with snow. And a lot of people who don't understand working in tech. And less opportunities.
shiraabel··on Startup lessons
Excuse my complete ignorance on this - but have you or Mark written about it? (And yes I did google it and came up with a bunch of articles about founders and vesting, however nothing popped out about restarting founder vesting when raising a new funding round.)
shiraabel··on Ask HN: How to find a good startup name?
I looked for something that felt right for the brand. For my agency I wanted something masculine (we were all women), waspy (we were all Jewish), and sounded 100 years old (it's brand new). I told my friend who does naming that it should sound like 100 year old scotch. She came up with Hunter & Bard (hunting for leads sales & market, bard is the story teller which is how we do it). I was happy. My exact quote was, "I feel Blackwatch plaid all over"

The IDF sends down pamphlets hours before doing a raid on an area. That's a decent lead time for a heads up. The IDF also doesn't aim for innocent civilians, which are the target of Hamas.

The innocent deaths are a tragedy on both sides. However, only one side aims to kill civilians. Intent matters. There is a difference.
