tunetine··on Ask HN: What problem in your business is worth paying 10k/y for?
Tableau. We pay far more than $10k/year even after the pricing model change.
tunetine··on Which job skills are most employable?
Could someone provide additional advice or scenarios in which I could stroke The Rulers's ego?
tunetine··on Suing California for Throwing Out 45k Ballots Over Handwriting 'Mismatches'
Rejected in FL in 2012 because my signature didn't match up to when I signed my license back at the age of 16. I'm not sure how I thought they would verify but I wasn't smart enough to attempt to forge my signature from over a decade ago.

This is news from almost a year ago when they laid-off a few hundred in October 2016.
tunetine··on Ask HN: What mistakes in your experience do the people you manage keep making?
This might speak to the cost of education. When you're so far in debt, you don't think twice about not putting money into a 401k, health care you don't need, etc because of crippling student loans.

What? No.

I think this happens when a great percentage of participants of an exchange are merely traders, speculators, and bots than actually using the currency for transactions in every day life.
tunetine··on Redfin shares surge more than 30% in $138.5M real estate tech IPO
It was not on Fidelity's list of IPO's. Even then, you need to meet certain qualifications such as $100k in assets sitting with them or being a member of premium services who placed a ton of trades the past year.
tunetine··on Amazon raised Prime Day prices, misleading consumers, says vendor
Prime Day is essentially a farce at this point, giving customers really great prices on only their own products like the Fire Tablet and Echo, which allow the customer to easily spend more on Amazon. I bet they would love it to be like Singles Day on Alibaba but all the marketing in the world can only help it along so fast.
tunetine··on The Company Behind Many Surprise Emergency Room Bills
Were there attempts very early on because I remember them drafting a bill no one even had time to read. Republicans were going to vote anything down and it seemed like Dems waited out the clock so it would be forced in at the last second, either way.
tunetine··on Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years
It's too sloppy even if I could draw that well with my mouse or highlight in a somewhat straight line. Nevermind the regular employee, sometimes I'm sending it to Directors and C-levels, etc.
tunetine··on Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years
You can't draw circles and arrows, etc in that tool though. I need to point out the obvious sometimes. Well, actually most times.

"Separate checks, please."
tunetine··on Thanks to Venmo, We Now All Know How Cheap Our Friends Are
Where does this happen? If they want their money, they will split it and do what they have to do.
tunetine··on CEO texts job candidates at odd hours on the weekends
Her job-hopping resume probably shows she enjoys being uncomfortable. Interviewing is like a fun game to play.
tunetine··on Google relaunches Glass for businesses
That sounds very efficient. I worked in fast food and it was always a frantic mess with high school kids trying to spit out custom orders while people pour through for a few hours at dinner.
tunetine··on In Urban China, Cash Is Rapidly Becoming Obsolete
I am pretty disappointed at the lack of locations accepting Android Pay. I was hoping to ditch my wallet but can pretty much only use it at the gas station, Subway, and Walgreens.
tunetine··on Show HN: Unity 3d Neuroevolution Flappy Bird
It seems like half fall below and/or above the screen limits every round. I may be incorrect but you would think evolution after a round or two would take care of that type of issue.
tunetine··on How To Go Viral By Using Fake Reddit Likes
Is that hustle? His last ditch effort was to use Reddit and was lucky it worked. No experience or expertise, and now potential clients know how little it cost.
tunetine··on Snap falls to IPO price
Facebook's IPO was botched which caused a pretty big slide the day of the offering. The next two weeks it continued to go further below IPO price to -50%. Quarter after quarter analysts questioned if they could maintain growth and profits.
tunetine··on Jawbone is being liquidated as its CEO launches a related health startup
You either explain why the startup wasn't a good fit or the three month gap of employment on the resume. I know which I would chose.
tunetine··on Tesla drops 7% after Goldman Sachs says the stock is worth $180
I liken this stock to the first few quarters of GoPro leading into Christmas. Investors are making it pop up and down, but the moment the possibility of massive growth and revenue meets up to reality, it'll slide down to a reasonable price.

tunetine··on Small ads sex trafficking: the battle against Backpage
I understand the problem is basically understaffing. You don't have enough workforce to spend the time tracking these people down then actually doing something about it. It's the reason burglaries and bank robberies go unsolved until you have multiple occurrences and enough people see footage on the news.
tunetine··on Finance sites erroneously show Amazon, Apple, other stocks crashing
If I had to guess, it looks like google and yahoo track by time. Each nth second it plots a point, so it's likely to miss graphing the actual high or low of the day.
tunetine··on Busy to Death
And here I am trying not to look pissed off at everyone around me because they're sitting there doing little to no work, talking, and making noises.
tunetine··on 70 job interviews in 17 days
He lives in a world most of us have never heard of and talks like like that is normal.
tunetine··on “We quit our jobs, remortgaged our houses” – how passion made Cuphead a reality
I'm curious if anyone can provide insight as to what the profits of a moderately successful game would be. Let's say they've spent $600-700k over the past three years. Is there any possibility of them saving their homes without the game becoming a massive success?
