Really scary how it's easy to hide spam. But hey, at least they are Star Wars fans, I guess.

Re:Intel to invest $7B in factory in Arizona, employ 3,000 on Wednesday February 08, 2017 @03:28PM (#13601727)
I visited their fab in Israel. Amazing place and they are Israel's top high tech employee.

This is highly technical, high R&D stuff. Only their fabs in the US and a few other places (Israel, Ireland) can do that. But, in Israel they get preferential tax treatment (because otherwise they will leave and go to Ireland or the US).

So I wonder what would have happened had Trump not been president, or alternatively, what tax breaks he promised.

Yup, the French are well dressed. In Israel wearing jeans is fancy

How long is it going to take the employees to leave - especially the best ones?

Employees are motivated by intrinsic motivations such as feeling valued. These little things help it. Sadly, the CEOs need to go back to business school and re-learn organizational behavior.

Re:Ask HN: How is your code/build/test/deploy flow organized? on Wednesday November 11, 2015 @05:44AM (#10545918)
We use IncrediBuild - it speeds up our development and CI. C++ dev on Visual Studio with some teams running C# and CI into Jenkins. The C# team has more automated unit tests with MSTest, which is where they shine
Re:Startup and product without sales and marketing? on Monday November 02, 2015 @09:13AM (#10491880)
NO! NO! NO! NO! What product are you reaching? What is your business model? What features belong in the product? Who are you reaching?

Marketing should be the FIRST thing you do. https://hbr.org/1991/01/marketing-is-everything

Re:Ask HN: How do we get our first sale? on Sunday November 01, 2015 @06:18AM (#10486108)
Have you done marketing? Do you have a marketing plan? Who is your target audience - your first buyer? Ads don't help if the people who are likely to buy from a no name (regardless of quality) don't know about you.

First thing is to develop a marketing plan - target audience/first market, then promotional channels, price (cheaper isn't always better - if you are priced like a cheap Chinese knock off but are high quality Italian fashion, I won't trust your claim), and product - which you are working on
