  3. Ask HN: Concept Taxonomy Tools?

    I've got a Pocket bookmark repo with ~15K articles in it. I'm reasonably disciplined about tagging each saved article, but am swimming in tags (~1200). I'm attempting to organize the tags offline using pencil & paper…

  5. Best-in-class employee onboarding checklists?

    I'm 5 weeks into a new role - the HR director asked for a 1:1 tomorrow to see how things are going. This company doesn't have an onboarding framework other than scheduling 1:1s with various team leads around the…

  9. Ask HN: How does your company/industry handle supply chain changes?

    I had to devote a large percentage of a previous job to juggling supply chain changes from 3rd party suppliers with the expectations of my customers. (We're talking semiconductor components.) Part of our value prop was…

  10. Ask HN: How do you answer “where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

    This literally came to me in the shower. A couple of recruiters posed the "5 years" question to me over the past week. In earlier days I would have signaled my ambition with "general manager with P&L responsibility" or…

  11. What are some examples of inefficient markets?

    I remember reading several months ago about the amount of waste that can pile up in a hospital's inventory. I don't recall a specific root cause - perhaps a combination of expirations & demand mistakes. What are some…

  13. Who is 50+ and does NOT want to retire?

    I left my last FT job in 2017. Tried a couple of startups that quickly flamed out. I'm on the back side of 50, disgustingly healthy, and enjoy being part of winning teams. FWIW: product manager, ex-developer,…

  15. When is a startup no longer a startup?

    I know this sounds like one of those useless philosophical questions - bear with me. I returned yesterday from a job interview. My wife, who is naturally skeptical, asked how it went. "Well, they're a Series A startup.…

  20. Ask HN: What tech stack would you use to build an open-source Google Keep clone?

    I'm sick of waiting for Google's Keep team to improve their app, or even to respond to feature requests. (Crickets.) So I'm going to attempt to build my own - despite being a real noob when it comes to JS-based tech…

    HN’s, my nephew is being courted by several colleges in the mid-Atlantic area. He has top-1% test scores and is really interested in aerospace engineering. How would you learn about a school’s program reputation? I will…

  22. Game Theory: How can I utilize this new knowledge?

    I finished Games of Strategy (4th ed) during the holidays. I could see using this knowledge in negotiations & maybe game design. Any other examples or ideas?

  24. What OS are you using for industrial IoT apps?

    My previous startup did a prototype using OpenWRT. As far as I can tell, the decision was based more on 'comfort' than a hard technical requirement. If you're using an embedded OS, what drove the decision? If you…
