As an aside, do you have any info on the visual software used to run the charts? I'm guessing d3 is there somewhere., but maybe not. I've struggled to find a beautiful charting library and yours are beautiful!

"I just looked it up, $70 is way out of my pay range. I'll convert when I have a full-time job."

You can use the free version. It's full featured but has intermittent alerts asking you to upgrade[0].

[0] Recent vim convert.

Good suggestion. Updated.

I've been meaning to play with it more. Would you mind elaborating a bit on the pros and cons you've found so far?

I mind if it's not fast. I think everyone does. Doesn't matter if it's just or not. If it's not fast, I'll be irritated.

How do you calculate tax and such properly? Also, I like having it attached to a digital system so I can review my expenditures later.

That is one good way to handle it. I unfortunately usually forget to do so.

One other thing I've tried is tried to do is give them my card in the beginning and charge me when I'm done. This works well, because at the very end I just get a paper to sign them I'm done. The issue is this seems arrogant, so I don't do it.

I'm writing this from an American point of view, and I imagine it's handled differently in different places.

You made a point and quoted "studies" without spending the time to include references. When someone asks for the particular studies you are referencing, as to understand your perspective more clearly, a patronizing link to a generic search on LMGTFY does not help.

How can someone say with a straight face that it's "pretty hard to screw up sushi"

source?

I think zer0defex agrees with you

I'm curious to see some sort of data on hours worked on startups if that exists. I would guess that the grunt workers feel that they are obligated to work ceoHoursWorked + 3 as you mentioned and the ceo imagines she has to work gruntHoursWorked + 3

Would love if someone produced a decent open source firebase-clone with turn-key angularfire integration. I really want to use it, but some of my clients are not OK with having data stored on someone else's server(rationally or not)

It sounds to me like the latter(9%) but does that matter much? The point seems to be that it is roughly twice their calculated industry average, which presumably uses the same metrics.

Does anyone have any examples of great analytics dashboards(of any kind)? I've always been a bit unimpressed with most of them. Making the base presentation simple and clean while still allowing powerful filtering can be tricky.

Charge a dollar for it, in Bitcoin. People who love btc go crazy when they can pay with it, and I think they would like it a lot more than if it were free.

I'm not a member of your target audience, but I can't imagine BoredBanker is a very motivating name for people to start interesting discussions.

Or even better(if this is relatively easy to do) would be to release voting data(sans sensitive userIDs) and let everyone here analyze it.

I was wondering whether I'd see this again this year. Good on you, Matt.

If someone creates egghead.io for Dart, I will pay for it.

My point is that there are many examples to show. Why pick one using bad practice?

Both your comment and its parent are right. It could[0] even be done in HTML with <blink>

It should be done in CSS.

0. Not even sure if blink still exists, or if you can set it to animate, but my point stands that best practices are important.

Can someone who downvoted arcarda explain their reasoning? I agree that the animation should be in CSS(3), or at least not JS(leaving it out animation entirely might be best).

There are plenty of examples you could show in JS that would better show that it is where logic and behavior is stored. How about setting a textbox or showing an alert?

Questionable is certainly rounding up

I'm old and I fire people who try to innovate in my company with new technical ideas seems like a weak argument.

If you don't care about new technology and would rather focus on your owns hockey, that is fine, but please don't go on the attack(1). It demotivates people who want to innovate with new "clever shit"

1. It was not a direct attack, but I would consider making a point against something then purposely ignoring an experts defense in at least the same category

Why do you consider Uber to have the marketplace problem? If it is as simple as hiring new drivers, isn't it more of a general business scaling problem, similar to hiring more engineer to scale up more features in purely software startup?

I have an article in drafts named "Money is Time" about this subject. I've heard the idea of money being used to buy time much more in some circles than others, and I would like to push the idea that it's an option.
