As a naive person, I have a simple question - why would they even fly to an airport where there's 100mph winds? Wouldn't ATC know this and tell the flight way in advance to fly to a different destination?

The asymmetric reward is the _company_ having a liquidity event thereby enriching the founder, NOT a funding round enriching the founder.

Interesting name! (probably get rid of the dashes if you can :) I liked the idea of a demo site. Very few take the pains to create one. Is there a way to target individual users or a subset of users?

Q for engineers on this thread: would you be more open to a "recruiter reach-out" if that person _is_ an engineer themselves but independently also helps startups build teams as a recruiter?

Does anyone have an opinion that's strongly in favor of Node/Express and why? May be once past the MVP stage, Node/Express was a better choice for xyz reasons - I'd love to hear what they are.

Has anyone here extensively worked with Rails and then gone on to work heavily with Node/Express, or vice versa? Would love to hear your overall experience and thoughts between the two.

What is it with every post on HN having an almost 50/50 split along the cynical line. Of course 9/10 founders are going to fail, some people have more privilege to take risks, and people with families have to take measured risks.
