Cool site but please please change that fixed navbar to be fixed via css and not whatever you are doing (javascript?). It's very painful when you scroll (chrome on windows 7)
For something like that I'd suggest talking to potential customers.. if restaurants, for example, are you target audience, go and visit... become friendly with a bunch of owners/managers/etc.
Ditto, I've been using it for at least a year. For those of you new to it, make sure to check out the mobile app.. I use it for time & location-based notifications all the time.. love when it tells me what to buy WHEN I get to my grocery store of choice.
Really appreciate the quick response, and good luck on this endeavor.. as someone who's passionate about fitness I can appreciate what you're trying to do.
I had a horrible experience with them charging me when I signed up for a free service... took forever for them to get back to me, couldn't get the service to work often (not a coverage problem, they set something wrong on my account).. overall, not a well run business.
Good premise.. they just really need to iron out some things first in my opinion.
It also depends on what you realistically can get out of an MBA... some don't get that much out of it, while I believe I got tons out of mine (former R&D Engineer, went to top-10, or top-15 depending which publication you're reading)
Anyone that read the 26 pages (sorry, I'm lazy), can you comment on whether they take into account timing of releases? In other words, if the best and biggest movies come out right after the shutdown, sales could have increased due simply to that.
I agree that more women need to quit "talking about being a female founder", but not interviewing someone based on the fact that they go to women's organizations/etc? That's wrong and very likely illegal.
I am not defending the conclusion of the article... but this is easily explained by rounding... not necessarily a fault of the author's. Although the author probably should have gone one further sig fig
"...since the ground ring is, well, grounded..."
fyi, not true at all.. think about it, how is a device that you're holding in the air (and NOT connected to a power outlet through any sort of cables/adapters/etc) grounded?
It's not.
If you plug your ipad into a wall socket via the 5V battery adapter it would be a different story, but not until then.
Articles like these over generalize, and I hope that anyone who reads this article doesn't assume everything they read is gospel.
I know my point of view on MBA's isn't the popular one on HN, and that's fine.. but an MBA was just right for my career, and it is for some others as well.
As for "...MBAs brandishing spreadsheets, the latest two-by-twos and the guilt induced by some watery ethics course." Way to read the "10 day MBA" and write an article about it. Oh wait a minute, the author is also basically pushing his own book on basically the same subject.
No he didn't say that. He said reduce the world's population. You can do that by having fewer births. Over time, this will reduce the population.
Or you can just put words in his mouth that's cool too.
From one of the youtube comments (rarely will I quote a YT comment):
"If you reduce infant mortality people have fewer children. Look it up. People overestimate their own risk of losing a kid, and tend to have more children in order to compensate."
