Re:Ask HN: How do you keep track of your notes at work? on Sunday April 15, 2018 @08:16AM (#16842342)
Use a mix of Asana, paper, and Google docs.
Re:Ask HN: What's your work-life balance like? on Sunday April 15, 2018 @08:13AM (#16842332)
Usually set my alarm for 8:20. Head off for work. Start around 9:15-10:00. Work until 17:00. Leave. Workout till 19:30, maybe 20:00. Head home, prepare something to eat. Read, Game, Work, do nothing. Go to bed anywhere from 10:30-1:00. Repeat.

Sometimes I get stressed and need to meditate. I use headspace and calm.

I'm usually tanked by the weekend and sleep super long and don't do a whole lot because I am so tired.

Repeat. x 52.

Re:Ask HN: Best books you read in 2017? on Wednesday November 29, 2017 @05:40AM (#15805909)
Absolutely, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. He crafts a beautiful story.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand was a long one, but very very good also.

Lastly, The Empire of Austria: Its Rise and Present Power by John S. C. Abbott. It gave me a deeper understanding and historical context on where I am currently based.

Cryptocurrencies.

Re:Ask HN: How does your team handle knowledge documentation? on Tuesday November 07, 2017 @05:51AM (#15642359)
We use a mixture of Asana and Google Drive.

Asana is an amazing tool to store information as well as create a unified workspace where all members can share work, collaborate on projects/tasks, or have a knowledge repository. Would definitely recommend!

Aviation, Private Aviation.

Most systems are legacy and haven't moved forward because of so much regulation. Once you've moved past that user adoption is hard because most of the industry hasn't seen tech before so it's manual work.

Re:Microsoft Launching $10/month Xbox Game Pass on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @03:51AM (#13762310)
I support this. Gold sub, should come with a game pass.

Chances are the best multiplayer games won't be on the game pass anyways and you'll have to pay that standard $60 regardless

Re:Ask HN: What other online communities do you frequent? on Thursday February 16, 2017 @04:03AM (#13658569)
How popular are they? I've found sometimes it's just hit or miss with private slack channels or group, that or spam even if it's a paid group.
"Growth Hackers" use the internet as a tool with a complete disregard to the environment that exists. It's a cool tool for a job, the medium where it takes place (reddit, HN, email, FB, twitter) changes but the existing effort won't. Not everyone, unfortunately, views the internet or specific websites as a community. For them, reach numbers are important, and why wouldn't they be. It's not a community to them. They're pursuing ridiculous results and rewarded when they can say "I reached X amount of people through X tactic".

Re:AI for sales – www.salesagent.ai on Wednesday January 18, 2017 @08:15AM (#13426078)
A few questions: Who is your target market?

When most sales or SaaS companies use CRM's or email clients with templates, where does this come in handy?

Is this a chrome extension?

How will pricing work?

Use HubSpot, I find they've worked incredibly well at scale. Plus it's free to get going.
Re:Ask HN: Hacker News Slack channel? on Tuesday January 26, 2016 @09:03PM (#10977733)
I'm also interested. Would love to maybe set something up if it isn't currently available...
Re:Ask HN: Things you created in 2015? on Thursday December 24, 2015 @12:21AM (#10787219)
That's awesome! I think that's great taking a side project into something more. Are you using meteor.js? I'd adjust your above the fold look -just my 2 cents
Re:14-Year-Old Boy Arrested for Bringing Homemade Clock to School on Wednesday September 16, 2015 @12:31PM (#10227819)
AMAZING IDEA.
You know what will make me cry in the future? The current generation has trouble picking up books, staying away from screens and focusing. Many of us have learned in this traditional path of, search, research/read, analyze, practice, repeat. When the generation that has such a feature existing where they don't even need to open a book for knowledge or pull out their phones I will cry, not from jealousy because of the way we have spent learning but because of the way they have not. The lack of need to actually gain information will be destroyed. Who will need school (except for when the wifi is out)? Who will needs real hard cover books? What will happen to the constantly connected brains...
You know what I love about Tesla? They continue to innovate and create change in the auto industry, most of all as a company they are powered by transparency.

Similar to other luxury auto companies they facilitate innovation. While luxury car companies strive to create beautiful, seamless and future-forward vehicles at a high cost, they can afford (similar to startups) to bring in new ideas to not only rule out competition but give them a market advantage. For example - recently McLaren came up with a way to introduce sound waves, instead of windshield wipers, wipers are a pain! (Not to say that the device generating the waves wouldn't be) Can you imagine toyota, chrysler, or ford doing something of the sort? Of Course not - it takes probably 20 hours for them to build one of theirs, where it might take Rolls Royce 6-7 months. However there are different profit margins and reputable name sake.

I like to think Elon has engineered his company nicely in between :), he surely got pissed off by the media and had fun adding that ballistic plate to the bottom

Re:Reviews for Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" on HBO on Saturday March 29, 2014 @12:06PM (#7492681)
I agree with you on the last part man, I feel like once the show - if it's popular will just deliver ignorant opinions from couch potatoes...not to mention the view on the valley
