tonster | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What $500-2500 product improved your 2022

Ubiquiti Dream Router and a couple of WiFi 6 Access Points. Excellent WiFi is so underrated and not as common as we might think. It has allowed me to work comfortably in all corners of the house as well as outside when the weather is nice, all without skipping a beat during calls. Highly recommend setting up a proper WiFi network and looking into this more prosumer level hardware which has been rock-solid for me.

Unfortunately, that adds another pocket to be paid, thus making slim margined goods unaccessible at traditional brick and mortar.

There are many 24hr turn PCB fab houses too. Usually costs an extra 150-200RMB for that service, which by western standards is still an absolute steal.

Well, I think the ones that were around before the tech influx will certainly be able to ride out slower times better than the restaurants/services that have come up as a direct result of the influx of tech folk.

True, but like you pointed out, it might not have made a difference as he proceeded to go on a drinking binge and be bitter about the whole situation. Perhaps if he kept his head on straight, he would've still had a moderately successful career in boxing.

I couldn't agree more with true greats are persistent individuals. He simply let his emotions get the best of him.

I agree with most of what you've pointed out here. It seems that after you read, you realize that it's more of a story on execution and not the launch per se.

The way they were able to start small and rapidly iterate on what their customers needed 'now' is what kept users on the platform, and thus word began to travel amongst founders.

Hi, I'm Tony, Co-founder at Classlerts. I'm a 5th year Mechanical Engineering major at UC Merced. One of my best friends/co-founder introduced me to startup culture years back and I've been hooked ever since. Looking to meet new and interesting people tomorrow and know it'll be a good time. I'll be there tomorrow morning and am up to grab some coffee with anyone before the event begins. Reach me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Anyone going to the Dropbox/Weebly after party at The Parlor in SF tomorrow?

tonster | 13 years ago | on: Myspace previews complete redesign

I completely agree. Bands have never left Myspace, and it seems finally Myspace will try to really incorporate bands/DJs/Marketing campaigns into the social network. I imagine monetization would come rather easily with this as well.
