rokhayakebe··on Startup Ideas 2020
Privacy

Judging by what people are posting on IG, FB, and what I hear they are posting on SNAP, I have come to the conclusion that Privacy is a niche product.

Then you come out with the Greatest Books of the Western Civilization and you have enough reading for a lifetime and more.
rokhayakebe··on What Will Happen in the 2020s
And was so completely wrong it’s shocking anyone would promote him year after year.

This is a misunderstanding of how voting/promoting works. If someone is wrong you may want to promote them as much as someone who is right in the hopes of enlightening the masses.

Also, you may disagree with something and find it interesting still. In that case upvoting makes sense.

Upvoting != Agreeing. Unfortunately, when you do not have a button for agreeing or disagreeing, you are inclined to use the Vote button.

rokhayakebe··on After WeWork, SoftBank’s Startup Bookkeeping Draws Scrutiny
I feel you, but bankers do not owe lone developers anything. If you want to see something exist in this world, you need to figure a way to make it happen. There have been many new technologies that have been brought into this world by people with close to nothing. In fact, not having the funding (initially) may be a good first test. If you really think it should exist, then it is on you to find the time to make it happen.

Where ex.act.ly can I buy consumer debt?
rokhayakebe··on Is Anyone Going to Get Rich Off of Email Newsletters?
I don't know. There are many topics for which I would pay $10/month for a weekly newsletter. Perhaps not an email weekly newsletter, but I always say I would easily pay $10/month for a weekly TWIST Video if they had something behind a paid wall.
rokhayakebe··on MyPayrollHR CEO Arrested, Admits to $70M Fraud
For rent/mortgage checks, it would take 10 minutes to write 12 post-dated checks, put them each in a (pre-stamped) envelope and file them in a locked drawer. Comes that time each month, walk to Drawer, pick up envelope and drop at Location.

The day is slow, Friend, but the Decade will be fast

Spend less time adrift

Be kind when it matters

Be kinder when it does not matter

Time > Money, Spend it well

Everything will pass, just stay your course

Always Do or Learn new things

Forgive, Forget, or at least Let Go

Say "Thank You" thrice

The day is slow, Friend, but the decade will be fast

rokhayakebe··on How Uber Got Lost
No, it makes more sense for Uber to do so because the solution they would build “could” be an add on to different cars giving anyone with such car the ability to add it to Uber’s fleet. When BMW creates their solution, it will “probably” not work on an Audi or Ford.
rokhayakebe··on How Uber Got Lost
Winner Takes “All” is an incomplete sentence. All what? All profits or all losses?
rokhayakebe··on People Simply Empty Out (1986)
Exactly. Even in a factory you could tell employees that this is what they need to produce for the week. If they can get it done in 2 days, then so be it. If they cannot meet standards, you can just reassign them to a different task or let them go. You could also pay more/less for those who produce more/less. Work just needs to not be tied to time.
rokhayakebe··on Man Who Bribed Son into Penn Guilty in $1.3B Health Fraud
They did it "to" their children. Looks more like a robbery than a gift. What message are you sending your son when you tell him "most people get here because they earn it, but don't worry, I'll pay for you to get in."
rokhayakebe··on Show HN: Feed of current articles for science lovers shortened to bullet points
Can we get this for Tech and possibly other verticals?
rokhayakebe··on Yelp Evades Fire but Isn’t Bulletproof
Yelp should be DoorDash. Yelp should let you buy services directly from the platform. Yelp should be Groupon. Yelp should be Medium for small businesses.
rokhayakebe··on Downsides of Freelancing
Be a gatherer & not a hunter. In other words, find clients you can put on a monthly retainer instead of big projects that pay you once and force you to look for work for 5 months when done.
rokhayakebe··on Evan Spiegel’s Imperious Style Made Snapchat a Success Until Users Fled

rokhayakebe··on Google paid Andy Rubin $90M while keeping silent about a misconduct claim
Girl: My ex called me "My Love".

Andy: Strange. I prefer just "Love." Being owned is kinda like you are my property, and I can loan you to other people. I am glad you are no longer with that guy.

This is why context, as OP mentioned, is important.

rokhayakebe··on Google paid Andy Rubin $90M while keeping silent about a misconduct claim
If "conservative clothes" and "bringing your mom" are irrelevant, it should not have been mentioned.
rokhayakebe··on The path to $100B [video]
In the case of Google, I am not sure they had a $10 million dollar vision. They tried to sell (unsuccessfully) to Yahoo for $1 Million.
