I have a LG plasma TV from 2008 that still works great. It's not a smart TV so I don't have to worry about keeping it up to date or having it slow down. I've gotten more than my money's worth.
Re:Ask HN: Is everyone becoming a Product Manager these days?
on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @11:09AM (#36327142)
This is something I think about a lot as a product manager (PdM). There is only 1 PdM per a handful of engineers. In some cases, a product manager has more than one product (and team). From a numbers standpoint, I often wonder if I'd be better off going back to engineering. I wasn't the best at writing code—I was slow—but I enjoyed the challenges. The grass is always greener, I suppose.
Re:Ask HN: Looking for Email Service Recommendations

Yup! My HEY address was forwarding to Gmail after I stopped my subscription. When I came back, I had to start over. All of the data is removed when you leave. HEY provides a backup when your subscription ends, so I can always take a look at that if there's something I need from that first year.

I enjoy using HEY from 37signals. It's different than other services (more opinionated), but it keeps my inbox under control. They also take privacy seriously.
I was a paid subscriber for the first year, stopped for a year, and then went back because I realized how much it helped. It lacks a calendar, though, if that's important to you.

Ask HN: What tools do you use to document your company's internal processes
I'm part of a growing startup that's looking to move away from Atlassian products due to cost. We'd like to replace Confluence as our hub of information and I'm looking for recommendations. Does anyone mind sharing their software/process for documenting internal processes? Thanks in advance.

Re:Ask HN: What are your tips for freelancers?

Charging by the day or week is something that's come up a couple of times. How do you come up with the daily rate? Is it the total of what you'd charge per hour for eight hours?
Ask HN: What are your tips for freelancers?
Last week I finished a basic web app for a small company working as a contractor. Today, they asked me if I can expand the app and continue to work with them. This isn't my full-time job and is the first time doing freelance professionally. Can any freelancers out there share advice, tips or even software they use to help manage their business?

Re:We Need a Warby Parker for Mattresses
on Friday September 14, 2012 @02:03PM (#4523075)
A couple of years ago I was looking for a Tempur-Pedic style mattress, but didn't want to spend thousands for one. After doing a lot of research I found Isoform mattresses. They are only available through the mail and have a 90-day return window if you're not happy. It would be very expensive to ship numerous mattresses, but the trial of one with no commitment to buy is pretty good.

You can try using Xubuntu. I just switched from OS X to (Ubuntu) Linux and didn't like Unity either. A co-worker suggested Xubuntu and I haven't looked back.

I heard about Warby Parker about two weeks ago and decided to give them a try. Whenever I would get frames at a local shop it always felt rushed and I was never happy with the results in the long run. I really like the idea of the home try-on and did find a pair I'm very happy with.

It is, but the increased price might be because there is an extra day this year.
