Mt Mitchell in North Carolina is the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Mt. Washington is the most prominent.

Splits don't change the value of the stock. If there's a 2:1 split, the market cap stays the same so the share price halves. It's just a way lower the price of individual shares.

If you're looking for part time work in tech, if you're patient with upwork and similar sites you can find roles for 10-20 hours a week that pay decently.
Re:Why aren’t there more dogs at the doctor’s office?

This is an incredibly disingenuous statistic. The 25,000 is from rabies due to bites from feral dogs. This would not be an issue in medical settings where the canines would be vaccinated.

Re:The most expensive number in engineering

Yes, all (essentially all) engineering design ends up being multivariable. For even something as simple as a cantilevered beam supporting a load, if you can change the shape, material, material treatment, length, width/height, all of which affects cost. Usually due to limits of manufacturing and availability of standard parts, the exploration space can be greatly reduced.
Re:The smallest businesses are getting extra PPP help

The two key changes are 1) They are now calculating the loan amount off of Sch C gross revenue rather than profit. 2) For businesses with fewer than 20 employees, there's a two week period starting tomorrow where their loan apps are prioritized.

75% of those with free trials do not require a credit card up front. This was always my preference as a purchaser because I didn't have to bother my boss and get approval to try out a product.
Ask HN: How do you handle flat file integration in your SaaS?
Has anyone had to support robust file flat integration? Upload -> validation (including possibly keys between files or tabs) -> UI for users to fix errors -> data integration. If so, did you roll your own or use a library or service? Thanks for the help!
Re:I quit my job to do a startup and then quit 2 months later

Absolutely agree. Though this wasn't to be a marketplace, more of a ecommerce platform, but it still applies. I couldn't find anyone with enthusiasm to sell with Kettle which doomed it for me.

Ask HN: How do you privately share pictures and video with family and friends?
I'm looking for something private and easy to use to share pictures and videos with my family. My extended family uses Snapchat and Instagram but we're concerned but privacy and tracking. Text chains? Whatsapp? What works for you and your family actually use?

Re:Ask HN: Non-VC backed founders, any tips on growth?
on Friday April 12, 2019 @12:13PM (#19646113)
Read Traction by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares. Work on trying different marketing channels and sales processes until you have something consistent and repeatable that you can scale to another sales person. Then consider if adding money to that process will accelerate you in a way that is worth giving up equity and some control for. Also, too many cooks is a real concern. Think hard about the speed with which YOU want to grow the business.
Re:I have been hired for more than 10 years, and I have this simple rule
on Tuesday April 09, 2019 @08:56AM (#19614087)
This is exactly the issue with these arbitrary gates in the hiring process. You were taught to do it. Someone with a different background (maybe they grew up in a different country or had parents that worked in a different industry) wouldn't necessarily even think to send a thank you and would be unfairly disqualified from the position.
Re:Oldest Viable Laptop (2017)
on Monday February 25, 2019 @11:57AM (#19247006)
I use a 2012 Dell XPS 15 daily. I got it as a warranty replacement when my XPS 14 broke. I've given it an SSD and swapped a new battery once. Otherwise it does everything I ask of it except having more than 2 hours of battery life. I've wanted to buy something lighter (the XPS is 5+ pounds) for years but I can't justify it when the 7 year old laptop still works fine.
