If we're not able to attend but would like to submit our resume to the YCombinator companies, is there a good place to do so? I'd be tempted to submit my resume via the application, but it doesn't seem fair to the startup companies to have

Where does this nonsense come from? I can't take being silent and just flagging anymore. This is exactly The kind of story that made me stop reading digg then reddit... I really don't want to finish that sentence with Hacker News. I don't c

Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by the "7 degrees of hacker news" story stretch.

While interesting speculation, I don't understand why we've frontpaged this story on a community site generally focused on technology, startups and hacker culture. I'd love to see this on a community site called UnsolvedMysteryNews, but un

Have to agree. In general, as much as I like most of these alt stories that have been posted to HN lately, I came to HN to escape this sort of posting. I'm sure we could expand the term 'hacker' to apply to anyone who was a creative misfit

Minor quibble from my 1st impression: Not really into the signin / signup form. From a usability perspective it just seems like it deviates a lot from what most users are familiar with. I like the narrative take on signin / signup but I th

use it yourself , "eat your own dogfood" or however you would like to describe it. That's the most important one for me. If you're not using it to solve your own problems then what are you building it for?

Agreed. You really need to read the CL TOS and make sure you're working with CL to use their data.

Your tough-love approach "...that's life, life is not fair, deal with it" is completely misguided and naive. I certainly hope that if you ever have children you don't use that mindset on them when they come home bullied, frustrated or upset

As someone who works on a project with a team of dedicated engineers under fairly strict code guidelines including code reviews, I can tell you from experience none of these factors have to do with "code cleanliness" (as ours is not, at lea

It would be an interesting legal case to say the least, especially because they do not indicate that they will provide further information about the warrant, or how to act other than individuals should "take special notice". Still I believe

Have to agree. I really like the new Apple keyboards. They feel minimalist but with enough key travel that I know when the button has been fully pressed.

Frankly, it's what you would expect from them. An abuser doesn't stop beating when you confront him; he stops beating you when you leave. I'm not an iPhone developer, nor have I ever developed anything for the Mac platform specifically.

Agreed. My "real world" view involves avoiding Outlook any time I can, including business contexts.

If you think it's a dup, flag it. I'm tired of seeing these digg like dup comments. They come across as a power grab for community recognition and karma, not for bettering the content on the site.

I played around with node last night a bit more. Here are one noob's observations: For most things it feels pretty fast. A simple timer output showed less than 1, 1, 2 or 3 milliseconds for most operations including File I/O. Importing fi

Built it without a hitch on a Mac. Ran the demo which seems clean and pretty snappy. I'm not familiar with how other libraries might be implemented, like mysql, sqlite, etc so I guess I'm wondering if this implementation will eventually su

This is something I've wanted to work on for months, but I lack the EE experience to do the physical side of things. Great to see it happening though.

Some people really need to be on the offensive to get things done. They need to feel like someone else is the enemy and they are going to defeat them. It seems to me like Zed puts himself in the position of David vs the open-source-commun

Why working at a startup? You have an image of an ideal that may be a fallacy. I work at a startup and it's not all fun and games. 1) It's a lot of work, 2) there is a lot of bureaucratic red tape (just like any real world business enviro

This is all typical technology-is-killing-society-and-making-you-stupider bombastic drivel. When the mail system was instituted in the US a part of the population claimed it would be the end of modern society. That it would eliminate face

For me, there are two qualities I look for when hiring an outside service provider like an accountant which go beyond the $/hour perspective. 1) I assume my time is essentially priceless. If I've ever had complex finances, for example, I h

Your argument is ineffective. The point is not to swap one potentially controversial topic for another in a presentation, the point is to attempt to appease a majority of the audience in an entertaining way precisely by avoiding abrasive t

Using POST doesn't necessarily make it simpler to defend against CSRF. You still need to use some kind of exclusive token shared between the client and server (e.g. a session id stored in a cookie). Imagine a poorly implemented site that d

Very very helpful, especially as someone who still has to work in ie6 and 7. I've been trying to set this up for some time and have never found a good, straightforward tutorial regarding how to get this working.
