did anyone else wonder why he is wasting so much time on money on stupid blinds.

so much for cash & time efficiency.

Re:How (not) to get a job at a startup... on Tuesday November 11, 2008 @01:47PM (#360783)
About us:

We are LeadLog, a small startup company in South Florida building lead management software. We're two biz dev guys, a ux guru and a hacker with solid business experience.

Hmm...something seems wrong about this equation...

Re:Y Combinator’s Snipd Launches To The Public on Friday October 31, 2008 @02:11AM (#349700)
is now a good time to ask...

'how are you going to make money?'

So when does someone cry 'But PG, it's not hacker news!'
Re:Kill your blog on Tuesday October 21, 2008 @04:07PM (#339299)
So a guy who presumably makes his living on being a professional blogger is lamenting the lost of the personal touch in blogs... hmm
most of the advice is common knowledge, and the rest of the advice is of dubious value

So in turn, your advice would be to read random fitness forums...

Powerlifters do 'whatever works'...

huh?

In order to do olympic lifts, makes sense to go to a powerlifter -- who do have good form.

shouldn't the mentoring be for your start-up in general, and not just the YC app?
Re:I find this startup rather disturbing... on Tuesday October 14, 2008 @07:07PM (#332757)
but you decided to spread it anyways (to the tech recruiters and HR who lurk here on HN)...
Re:Pack half of what you think you need on Tuesday October 07, 2008 @12:33PM (#325809)
what was your avg dist. on the longer hikes? am curious that 15-20 lbs. was heavy on the long hikes. and where'd you store the extra gear (i imagine a lot of it was weather-related)
Re:Pack half of what you think you need on Tuesday October 07, 2008 @11:27AM (#325754)
shampoo or a little packet of detergent.

this is one of the best traveling advice ever.

Re:Pack half of what you think you need on Tuesday October 07, 2008 @09:43AM (#325688)
bootload, the gear in the photo wasn't enough and I needed more stuff for a four day "hut-hopping" hike: it's a long way to the enlightenment.

so, under the 37 signals great advice, this is what this guy needed for National Outdoor Leadership School, and he should have taken half?

when in reality, he needed more gear than presented here.

as usual, the signal is too weak, even if they try to filter out the noise.

Re:Pack half of what you think you need on Tuesday October 07, 2008 @09:40AM (#325686)
great analogy for software

but how many people really need this advice for traveling?

instead of this over-generalized "half of what you need" and then "lose another half" make a short list of the bare necessities -- and why you need it.

but I guess this is advice for tourists? not sure who has three bags going down cobble stone roads.

i hope this guy is planning on launching his own start-up.

he'd be wise to read Paul Bucheit's oft-quoted advice = limited life experience + over-generalization.

while 'inspirational' it lacks the quality of reading someone who's been there and done it...

what are you working on now?

someone has got to say it...

how many donations will you get calley (ex-model right?) because people think you're hott?

Re:Google backs gay marriage on Sunday September 28, 2008 @02:14PM (#317726)
Mark,

Have you heard of the phrase, stop while you're ahead.

I followed your rebuttal essentially stating that one should not lose sight of small problems for the larger ones, but your derivative spiel about charities and about Darfur is incoherent babble.

Seriously.

Darfur was a non-issue in the US/ world-media until perhaps 2006, and even now, most Americans (and perhaps Germans as well?) don't know much about Darfur, don't care, and most importantly to your argument, they don't donate time or money to the issue. So what charities exactly are benefitting by distributing the 'propaganda' about the 'war' in Darfur.

It's not war, it's genocide.

Are you one of those who also didn't believe Holocaust Germany happened? Not enough evidence for you?

Stick to a logical argument backed up by either logic and data, or please do not argue here again. I'm tired of seeing your pointless rants where you spew this ridiculous, utter, nonsense.

I guess non-hackernews is hacker news...(Maroon linked to this in his post as one of his favorite pieces of 'nonhackernews')
