I don't think this is the greatest advice. That said, it can be exactly like this and worse. You really need to evaluate who you're receiving money from. Are they the right person to invest in your company? Will they support you in the low

When I was a musician we had a saying: "Playing and performing are like food and water. Writing is breathing." - You play, you promote. You maintain, you sustain. - You write, you build. You create, you grow. Buffer will succeed by building

There's the rub. All due respect to Leo and the guys at Buffer. It's a wonderful product. And he's sharing his learning process. I'm not dogging on them. However The email exchange with Noah Kagan is shows the mentality that so much of st

Happy to see this name in the news again, and excited to see them blossom out of YC. Good luck guys. Any metrics on total users? Are you guys monetizing yet? Would love to talk re: clinical trial recruitment. Last question: Can anyone provi

This is one of those "wow, so perfectly obvious no one has never done it." This could (and probably should) the hiring process at many retail and service jobs. In my teens I would have been all about proving myself by taking whatever quiz o

vladd, while I completely agree that "HN is mainly goodwill for YC," I think potentially your subsequent parenthetical statement shows misunderstanding of a different business model, the VC model. Or, maybe it was just ambiguous language e

Agree with other commenters, re: more important things to spend your time on than this list, but WHOA. I'm borderline offended that this article would claim that getting social media accounts for your Startup would come after ANYTHING. For

“We started at the very top with these outliers like Facebook and Twitter, but the aim is to work our way down to much less high profile companies.” I don't see how SecondMarket is going to fill the void left by FB, Groupon, and Zynga wit

Thoughts: I dig it, but don't know why I should use this more than just testing it out. Rating: Meh. I'll play around for a bit but probably won't stick around. The good: - Homepage Design: Great. Reminds me of a Pinterest for content (not

After watching the first season of "Game of Thrones" I wanted to read the book and see how it compared. I was amazed and enthralled. Then I read the rest of them and couldn't really do anything else until I'd finished them. Enjoyed how the

The quote on the cover of the notebook in the picture reminds me of possibly my favorite quote of all time: "...and for those who dare to dream of, dare to do." - Alfred Lloyd Tennyson Also apropos in regard to some of the other comments in

CW, there's nothing wrong with an app that collects and tracks diet, activity, or other information (until you get into data from instrumentation devices and more complex data inputs). Diet exercise are fine. Symptoms are fine. Even reporti

From someone working at a tiny venture-backed biopharma startup focused on developing treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD = UC + Crohn's), amazing to see something like this. Exciting. Even cooler to see it hit HN! I've always lo

I agree that there are long-term safety and efficacy studies that are fraudulently suppressed by some larger players in industry. It is an insidious problem that has horrible effects on patients. However, it is separate from my argument. M

First, I think this is a closed view of the issue. Second, I think publication bias has more effect on basic research and translational research (read: early animal pharmacology studies) than drug development. Conduct of a clinical trial f

This is interesting, and might be possible. The worry is that even if you have bullet-proof skin, your bones would break and internal organs be turned to mush. but would it? The name of the project is 2.6g 329m/s, after the mass and veloc

That depends on the cancer and depends on the approach (structural, genetic, or immunological). The difficulty in cancer treatment is that you're dealing with a natural biological process gone awry. It's not like viral or bacterial infectio

Exactly my point. The previous commenter worried about the rash of "amazingly promising research" articles followed by "FAIL." With this type of promising animal data, the prospects are good.

Actually overall, in vivo animal testing on vaccines, antivirals, and antibiotics are typically quite predictive from animals to humans. These types of tests are not historically very predictive when moving from in vitro to in vivo animal s

Depends on how you look at it: Actually we did evolve this mechanism, we just hadn't evolved a way to exploit it yet. We evolved, physiologically, faster mentally than physically and discovered a synthetic way to leverage this exploit befor

Frankly, you shouldn't wait for the equity portion because of the cliff. You won't vest any shares in the first year, so if it is for a "contract" CTO position initially, why the trepidation from them for the stock right away? They will pay

My thoughts exactly. It depends on the room; yellow in living/dining, and white in bathroom/office. I have a white CFL desklamp in my home office, and by a chair in the corner I have a yellow corner lamp (admittedly incandescent not LED).

My point exactly. How do you get juice? You pulverize and squeeze it out! So going the extra mile to extract oils for slight flavoring is bad, how? Juice is not as good for you as whole fruit. Fine. 20 ounces of any fruit has too much sugar
