The BBB gives Uber an "F" rating based on a handful of complaints? Uber serves over a million users a month! And I'd guess most of their customers are repeat - one sign that customers are happy with the service.

I wish I could up-vote this a thousand times. Slava is one of the most genuine founders I've met, and I wish him and RethinkDB all the best.

My 2¢: If it's a software product, and you're debating whether it's time to release, it's probably time to release. If your customers try your product and quickly abandon it because of it's imperfections, you prioritize fixing those imperfe

So true. I think the sign of a great PM is the ability to see all the imperfections but the self-control to focus on the things that matter and to de-prioritize the things that don't. It's easy to make a list of everything wrong with your p

A big difference to whom? I don't think the author intended to imply something different by using that particular language. I doubt the author consciously thought: "i'm going to make this apology less effective," so who cares if the languag

Founder of WePay, here. Quick clarification: We're actually not really working on solving the problem of helping people "send" money. Our primary focus is making it dead simple for anybody to get-up and running, collecting /accepting payme

Just posted a job add on dribbble. Agree that it's a great place to recruit designers.

Then you should have a portfolio, no? I'm not saying that having a blog makes you an "accomplished author" as the original commentator suggests I was implying, I'm just saying that seeing your work is the easiest/only way to screen for tale

For a design candidate? Curious why you think that... Would their academic credentials have been more helpful? I also caveated that comment: I may be missing out on some good candidates, but seeing something they've created is the only way

I sent him a "thank you" email for that exact reason. Seriously.

I live with the founders so I've had Lockitron for about a year. in my unbiased opinion: it's absolutely amazing especially if you have a lot of house guests (hacker sleepovers).

I haven't met the guy, but now I like him. And I am pulling for him. So he has accomplished at least that. And don't worry, his investors knew that he had no idea what he was doing when they wired him the money. If they didn't, it's their o

This one is a sleeper. Might not get as hyped as the other YC companies in its batch, but I think this could definitely be an interesting business.

Well done, sir. Again, I agree - I didn't think this belonged on HN.

by aberman 15y ago
haha - it's awesome that you know who they are even though we bleeped out the name. I figured it might get posted to HN, but I was hoping it would just live on reddit for a while...

Rich from WePay here. Definitely did not want this to end up on HN. Awkward... edw519: I know what you're going to say...and I agree with you this time ;)
