This might be totally obvious to you, but it wasn't obvious to some junior managers that I manage. When you're an entry-level programmer and you get stuck on a tough programming problem for a while, you're supposed to go to your boss/lead for help. Now that you're an entry-level manager, don't feel like you have to solve this on your own. Go to your manager for help. They should have more experience dealing with this.

I think smart, experienced engineers who have been figuring everything out on their own for a while start a totally new role, then forget how to ask for help when needed.

I want to love this but I am really struggling with the UX:

- Takes a long time to load

- Runs fine on my newish MBP but runs like a dog on my Linux desktop

- I am having a hard time controlling the camera position using the trackpad. Maybe with a mouse it would be better. If the arrow keys worked that might help.

- Some instructions on how to use it would be great.

- As they are, the camera and style squares appear to be clickable buttons instead of just headings.

I'm really interested to know this too. A few benefits I can think of:

- Their shares go farther if they buy another company with stock

- Helps recruiting and retention if their employees can sell their options on secondary markets

It looks like a lot of the functionality is only shown in the video, and it moves pretty fast. I wish I could pause it.

IIRC in California you need to have at least 2 direct reports to be considered a supervisor vis-a-vis exempt status.

This reminds me of "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. One of the main thrusts is that if you are serious about your art -- whatever it might be -- you should treat it like your profession. Do your (creative) work every day, and make some progress, however small, every day. Whether you feel like it or not. Make your art your day job, and your old day job your side gig. Even if the change is just mental at first.

Well done! The site looks great. I've actually been thinking about a similar product in a totally different space. If you could spare a couple minutes to answer, I have a couple questions that are probably really basic but I've been struggling with:

1. I see that you have a "LIST YOUR PROPERTY" feature, but how did you seed your DB? Just search CL, call the owner and ask if they're open to renting to college students?

2. How did you settle on making your own advertising platform your main revenue stream? When you have a niche market like this, is Adwords (or similar) not a viable alternative? Have you thought about charging the listing agent directly?

Very good list. I do wish some of the entries had a more to their description than "written in Blub." Knowing the language is interesting but not really helpful if I just want to know functionality.

Of all the things I think this list is missing, I think the #1 is the backup software lsyncd: watches a local directory tree for changes, then uses rsync to copy the changes. Great for when your data become so large that you can't complete your periodic backup job in a reasonable period of time.

That's unfortunate but it's also a bit like saying, "it made less than 100k USD yearly revenue, they couldn't afford backing up their data." Yeah both a hard-disk crashing and a legal attack are rare, but in their business they need to expect that it will happen sooner or later.

Very interesting, thanks! I would also be very interested in hearing some kind of ballpark figures for the fee structure.

There's one problem I've wanted to solve, and thought ACH might be able to help, but really didn't know where to start. This has been very helpful.

When you say "the typical consumer", I think you are really saying "the typical, relatively wealthy consumer living in the first world". For the some billions of people on the Earth who don't have a stable currency, credit/debit cards, mortgages and other financial products Bitcoin has more benefits. Think of the WhatsApp demographic without a smart-phone.

I believe the state requirement is for managers, not regular employees.

Every 2 years I have to spend a couple hours taking a traffic-school-style online training.

I love that B-R5RB was started by something trivial and without deliberation. It seems so Archduke Ferdinand-esque to me.

Chrome and Firefox both use NSS. I would assume that the big institutions looked at OpenSSL and decided their money would be better invested in other projects.
