This makes me think of Fortnite. What if Fortnite, and the impact it's going to have on us, is yet but a tiny baby?

It’s comments like these that keep bringing me back to HN. Love this, thank you.

We signed up for Blue Apron and Sun Basket. Time after time, the actual food provided by blue apron was inferior. Often close to rotten. This isn’t a complicated story( Blue Apron delivers food with instructions but the food isn’t very good.

This rings true, but also, a "no response" from support is never acceptable.

Everything written about here is in relation to VC funded companies. For people building companies without outside investment, and who pay employees with money, none of this is true at all and in fact sounds nonsensical.

And just won the appeal in 2015. So 13 years. Alone.

And T is for Twitter?

This seems like it would be the perfect foundation with which acquire twitter right? A twitter acquisition makes sense under Alphabet in a way it doesn't under Google, no?

Check out yoga studios nearby. Because it's class based, it's more directed and time sensitive than working out, and a lot of them also foster community, so it might be easier for you to strike up a few conversations than at a gym.

Give a few of them a try to find the one that's right for you.

Well there's two primary things: 1. It shows you ALL referrals that happened prior to a conversion. For example, if someone clicks on a retargeting ad, then a google ad, then our blog, then our docs, then a sign-up. I see that all together.

2. They have a conversion report that shows the weighted conversions, which allows me to see what impact each individual referrer has.

I've been using Tend for about 4 months now.

In all seriousness, Google analytics, and my inability to use it, was one of the most frustrating things I dealt with as the founder of a SaaS product.

Google analytics regularly makes me feel like an idiot, and my frustration level, even with better products like heap and kiss metrics, had gotten me to the point where I was ready to give up on analytics entirely.

By using tend I learned that I was literally tossing away thousands of dollars every month and it's clearly shown me where we get our customers.

It's hands down the best analytics tool I've ever used.

Yeah I do about 10 or 15 minutes with the headspace app. It's not a lot of time but it's quite nice and even that little bit of time is very impactful.

5:30am - 6:30am: wake up, coffee, meditate 6:30am - 7:30am: customer support from overnight 7:30am - 9:30am: breakast with family, kids to school 10:00am - 4:30pm: work, office, lunch 4:45pm - 5:30pm: beer with coworing space coworkers 6:00pm - 10:00pm: Dinner with Family with support sprinkled in throughout the night. Yoga class sometimes. 10:00pm - 5:30am: Sleep

(Of course in the real world there are lots of deviations from this, but this is the goal schedule.)
