Thanks for sharing

Appreciate your insight! Will seriously consider that.

Thanks! We are exploring business models. If there's traction with low operating&marketing costs, we can afford not to charge a commission, but instead charge later for optional premium services/functionality. bidroom.com charges tourists instead.

Prior experience in the hospitality industry: none. Just started a few months ago.

(1) That's a good point. Didn't consider the marketing costs for the hotel direct bookings.

(2) Do you refer to https://www.google.com/travel/ and https://ads.google.com/hotels/ ?

We looked at these. Since hotels aren't allowed to post best prices for direct bookings, a tourist will see in the booking list:

Expedia $100; Booking $100; Direct (or hotel name) $100

Without a better price, they'll choose one of the known brands.

Any suggestions on how to tackle Google Hotel Ads?

Any advice for those being alone?

It did work yesterday... Here's another one: https://www.paypal.com/ca/business/fees

Would this be applicable only to businesses in Canada?

To make an analogy: a singer artist in his town used to be 'good enough'. Now he competes with YouTube and tours from 'alpha' artists in nearby cities.

So yeah, women can pick adventures with alpha males (especially considering looks) instead of a long term relationship with the average guy. This leaves almost nothing (ok-ish) for the average guy.

What's an average guy supposed to do? I'm genuinely interested in answers.

I guess downvoting means Happy with Shopify :) Good to know!

Hi,

Considering about working on an open source with turnkey SaaS hosting modern alternative. Drawback: MVP is quite big. Would you see such a need, or is everyone happy with Shopify?

Some questions, if you can spare a few minutes:

What are top 3-5 issues with the platform that you're currently using?

What do you like most about the current platform?

What would be the must-haves of another store platform in order for you to switch to it?

Appreciate your insights!

Not really. I have 3 friends, all married with kids.

Besides SPY, do you store the rest as cash? What if a high inflation rate will be used to avoid a recession? meaning, cash in banks will lose value.

Why do we still need "seats", instead of having online voting for everybody on every proposed law? Because a small group wants the power.

With more EVs, we won't breathe so much car exhaust in cities. This is important.

Tom, would you please add your email in HN profile? LinkedIn doesn't allow to connect.

Would you please what did you do to get rid of the acne? My GF has acne too. Various face creams or treatments from dermatologists didn't work.

She tried cutting lactose (milk, cheese), which had a good, but small effect. Would like to try anything else before laser treatments.

Thank you!

I started after seeing a dance movie, and wanted to learn to dance like that. I actually like it, and I often get compliments. And yes, dancing in clubs makes it so easy to meet women, as I discovered later. It then slowly became a strategy.

Also, on the ones that were nice, I considered them without ambition, eg. spending the weekend on Facebook (when not going out together), beauty salons, superficial discussions with friends, while I'm always learning/reading/doing sideprojects. Even though we discussed about it, we couldn't find a solution for me just to accept this, rather than hoping they'd work on something more meaningful.

Been there, done that. The only outcome was sex.

Thanks!

I'm too focused on physical aspect -- my mistake, but don't know how to change that. I'm about to end a 9mo relationship with a girl that loves me, but I can't pass over not finding her very attractive.

And the girls which are very attractive, don't find me attractive for them.

Thank you and @lastofus

Excellent perspective

Right (been there). Any advice on solutions? What are the good places, how to join?

There's a demand, so there's a market. The problem is other people buy stolen bikes. I would also call those thieves, even if they don't do the stealing by themselves. As long as one buys something without original papers, they support the guys who do the stealing itself.

PS: 2 of my bikes were stolen.

Thanks,

While keeping a low risk, what are good options to maximize ROI for a ~5yr investment? (local bank conservative investment funds have a history of 2% for previous 3 years)

Thanks

Just like the did with smartphones. Maybe that's why most Android phones aren't that good.

Didn't realize it. Thanks for the insight.
