theHNAccton Ask HN: Where and how do you find your early adoptors?

You never actually explained getting the 100 people. Just that eventually you hired a user acquisition team

theHNAccton Uber and Lyft’s new road: Fewer drivers, thrifty riders and jittery investors

This was always the idea. I remember Jason Calacanis saying on This Week In Startups months ago that Uber is in growth mode, eventually when push comes to shove they'll increase the price to get to profitability and have the market share to stick it out.

theHNAccton YouTubeDrive: Store files as YouTube videos

I believe this is the backend for AWS Glacier

theHNAccton We built the best search engine for coders – Introducing YouCode

I use you.com. Best of the few I've tried. Can you please align the cards to be in the same row ? If you look up "access database spring" you'll see what I mean, 2 large empty rows with one result each that should be combined.

Any chance of business detail cards like google has (hours, map, address, reviews)?

theHNAccton Cockpit Project

When I saw cockpit initially I thought it'd be a crutch that would atrophy my cli knowledge, your comment makes me see the great use case

theHNAccton There’s a Reason No Smart Buyer Already Purchased Twitter

I agree with most points here but surprised by "Musk is not a coder and has never worked for a company that develops code as a core business function". He was a part of x.com / PayPal

theHNAccton HN comment April 9, 2012: Bookmark this comment. See you in 2022

They're saying it isn't one of the best acquisitions. Turns out it was for FB

theHNAccton How on earth I became an entrepreneur

I've seen references to Benihana online or in American tv. Why does it warrant it's own punctuation here? "..attended my own birthday party. At Benihana."

I understand it's a Tepenyaki place which are expensive places to go to. Though the novelty wears off. Is it considered tacky in the states?

theHNAccton Ask HN: Book recommendations for renewable energy and climate change?

How do you report spam on HN?

theHNAccton Ask HN: What on-call benefits do you get in your company?

45% of my days salary just for being on call.

1.5x my hourly rate for any call outs.

2x my hourly rate for any call outs on weekends and bank holidays

theHNAccton Phone is still the best way to order pizza

I would prefer a slower/unrushed system without social interaction. I am a reader of HN.

theHNAccton Lessons learned from migrating a native iOS app to Flutter

used ionic for some small stuff years ago. Kind of assumed it had lost the cross platform race considering how little I see about it. I thought React Native was the lead runner in the cross platform wars right now, anyone care to correct me or give me their take on where it's all at?
