Yeah, that'd be expected (release of IP etc) however, if you're doing this out of a sense of duty to your ex-colleagues, and the business / management have shown a lack of respect for you up to this point, then I wouldn'

Be careful if you decide to do this. If you help out & don't have a consulting agreement / contract in place + the correct insurance, etc... then you may find yourself on the hook for any problems that can be pinned on the wor

Been in this exact situation myself a couple of times - one instance that has stuck with me was when >300 sites crashed within around 5 minutes of each other due to a time-sensitive bug. This was my first job out of University, so I had

Indeed - will be interesting to see how this pans out, especially as Google already supplies the iOS mapping application backend.

I know they have to find candidates somewhere, but using a mailshot template to feign actual interest in a person is incredibly insulting.

Again, could you trim the number from the title of this post and have a glance at the guidelines, please?

Could you trim the number from the beginning of the title - the HN guidelines specifically guard against this sort of title: > If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop

Interesting stuff, but can you clip the number from the title, please?

How about a link to dismiss the about box? Once I've seen it, it just takes up space. Excellent to see you iterating so quickly - are you split testing any of your design elements?

Thanks for the kind words - I think you may have saved the site.

I find climbing requires absolute concentration - it fills your consciousness to the point that you can only really think about the problem or route you're currently working, which is pleasant when it displaces all of the other things you'v

Cool beans, cystan! I'll get those posts up now :D Thanks for the feedback - I have a new design in the works, so I'll see if I can work in your suggestions.

I wasn't looking to threadjack here, but thanks for the feedback :) I'll have a think about that - the app did originally just get climbs in your locality from the web service, but I changed to the cache-only due to coverage problems. I'll

I second your experience in getting traction for outdoor sports apps/sites. My own site, Bouldr, has had a bit of traction, but nothing significant, and monetizing seems to be a really tough problem in this field. Our FB page has > 17K

I have one of these (they're actually pretty good) it reorients so it always faces the wind and the shape gives you more coverage over your back when it's not too windy. Also, it looks awesome. The handle is small though, so it's a bit unco

Relative to what? Would it be OK if it were 15 things or 10? What about 5? These sort of headlines have specific rules in the guidelines - I'm surprised it hasn't been changed already.

OK, so I get that a patent allows an inventor to protect their invention from exploitation, but I don't understand why a patent is transferrable - surely the idea is to allow an inventor to license the patent so that even if they couldn't r

I use Postrank (formally AideRSS) for this reason - BoingBoing have far too many posts for me to read, so I run their feed through Postrank, and get only the most interesting posts. http://www.postrank.com/main - their index page is baffl

Nope - I've read before that to move teams at Google, all you need do is say so, and you can move to whichever other project you want to - no questions asked. Not sure how any of the less interesting projects get done, but that's just what
