drizzzler··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2019)
wow nice project, do you need a designer?
drizzzler··on Autodesk to Acquire PlanGrid (YC W12) to Accelerate Construction Productivity
Why half in taxes? Isn't this a capital gain? So 15-25% fed cap gain plus about 10% California income (if even applicable)
drizzzler··on Bitcoin, I've Been Here Before
The parent comment says nothing about the validity of "it being a currency"..this is an argument the child brings up just to Bitcoin hate. And it's a 'beat the drum' comment, same as the "it's like tulips/.com" that the parent is tired of hearing.

And, it's not the point of every cryptocoin to be a currency, whatever may be your definition of a currency.

This forum is so dumb now.

drizzzler··on Bitcoin, I've Been Here Before
This has nothing to do with the parent.
drizzzler··on Bitcoin Gets Close to $5,000
It's funny how thick HNers are about Bitcoin. I believe it's evidence of the sort of passive conservatism of the tech community. Bitcoin is some utopian shit, the decentralized technology dream that has a ton of traction, yet many of you just can't seem to get behind it. Is it because YC is an ultra capitalistic investment fund and Bitcoin is just too anarchist for its fanboys?

For all the people out there saying, "I cant find a use case", my question to you is, have you ever used it?!

If you have, did you notice that there wasn't a middleman taking a cut when you sent the money? I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much money businesses pay to the credit card companies?

Get on board guys.

>I just have a very hard time seeing how it's actually useful

Why is it so hard to see?

Whenever you send money somewhere electronically, a middleman takes a cut. With Bitcoin there is no middleman.

It's that easy.

can we please have a bitcoin thread that doesn't mention the stupid tulips

Yes. Someone please build this. Message me if you need a designer.
drizzzler··on SoundCloud's Collapse
yes.
drizzzler··on After big layoffs SoundCloud founder says its strategy is to ‘take back control’
Useless feature imo. SC was better without it (noticeably faster load times). How much server cost do they save if they eliminate comments?

Someone submitted the link and others upvoted it.

drizzzler··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
This seems cool! If you'd like some design/growth help, I may be the right guy for that. My email is in my profile.
drizzzler··on John Maeda: If You Want to Survive in Design, You Better Learn to Code
It does not help you get a job, ie survive. In my experience companies are not looking for unicorns, they want you to be very good at a specific thing (startups under 5 people are maybe the exception).
drizzzler··on Airbnb expands to experiences
Airbnb has tried to do "experiences" so many times I've lost count.

Here's the one where they partnered with Vayable, all the way back in 2011:

or about a minute of revenue
drizzzler··on My Two Years as an Anthropologist on the Photoshop Team (2015)
As a lifelong Adobe user, I'd rather hear that Adobe is doing this kind of work at a higher level, that is, studying how users interact with all of their apps as a whole.

Instead of adding art boards to Photoshop, I'd rather see art boards in Illustrator integrated better with PS. And are the art boards in AI still exporting at non-specified dimensions (a very common bug for years)? Fix what is broken before adding features to PS that are already in AI.

Can anyone explain to me why copy/paste tools are different between AI/PS? Just make them the same!

Edit:typo

drizzzler··on Ask HN: Why is it so hard to find a business partner?
Not leaving a way to contact you in your profile isn't helping. Contact me: I'm available and I'll at least hear your idea and give you a straight answer.

The avocados you show on the website are not ripe.

Tripbright.com

Allows vacation rental hosts to recommend/sell travel activities to their guests. Commissions on sales are shared with the hosts.

For sale, or looking for a non-technical business/growth partner to work on it part-time with me.

drizzzler··on Show HN: TripBright – activities and tours for your Airbnb guests
Thanks for the feedback. We're working hard and will let hosts know as improvements are made.
drizzzler··on Show HN: TripBright – activities and tours for your Airbnb guests
In the future, hosts will be able to make their own "products" which will be free of charge - like a nearby hike or beach that they recommend. I think free activities mixed in with paid tours, combined with a host's custom recommendations per (paid) activity (which is currently implemented), should make an honest, wholesome and reliable guide.

Also keep in mind that it won't always be just touristy tours. Along the lines of crazypyro's comment, we'll be adding other services like transportation and restaurant reservations.

We are currently using Viator's tours. And yes, we'll be adding more tours and services from other companies that offer these things. You can see in the example guide linked on the homepage that we're transparent about who you're ultimately buying the tour from, similar to Kayak.
