Inkling Markets Blog is the company blog at blog.inklingmarkets.com, writing about business and economics. Since 2008, 15 different Hacker News readers have linked it 100 times, most often “How old were you when you decided to start giving up?”. The last post was in 2015, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a discussion of Intrade shutting down, as an older post on judging prediction market accuracy. The only comment is a bare link with a short note, with no comment on the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
The official blog of Inkling Markets. We make prediction market software for organizations to improve their forecasting and make better decisions.

What Hacker News says?
This post from DHH misses one bit. This hiring remote workers works for them, (as it's worked for me/us at Inkling and Cityposh) because we also have another tenant to our hiring practices. We hire people who can manage themselves. 37signals calls this "managers of one" http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1430-hire-managers-of-one . I like to think of it as hiring employees to boss me around http://blog.inklingmarkets.co…

HN discussionHugh's been a favorite of mine too. One of the only newsletter's I've subscribed to. You might dig this blog post of mine that was up on HN awhile ago that mentioned Hugh and Jobs and the effort of going against the grain. http://blog.inklingmarkets.com/2010/01/ignore-everbody.html
