You really need to stop the personal attacks and trying to raise a downvote brigade against my comments, just because we disagreed about a law and culture topic. I wish the site admins would place a clear written policy against these and ot

It got great traction and decent press coverage, in fact I was a bit surprised when journalists decided to go with a nudity angle. In the end I never pursued it further, due to another startup I was working on at the time.

Seems a bit comical that the article claims this to be the first disappearing photo app. I created and launched one myself a year before Snapchat started... The normal way for start founders to receive equity, is only from one or more of th

The effectiveness of the relationship between investors and startups in SV is built on upon being upstanding and not being overly manipulative. Founder/Investor agreements that are born from the manipulation of unexperienced founders a

So many accelerators behave wildly unprofessionally and inappropriately for the space that they're in. Perhaps all that's needed is more high-visibility guidelines like what YC is doing now. Perhaps we need better platform for ev

No, that's insane. Investors commonly invest in multiple competitors at once. Not to mention that this is a huge security vulnerability to have this stuff floating around the investor's office and on their personal computers. Sad

I've been looking everywhere for the inverse of these graphs = states that former-residents of each state moved to. I used to live in a state that many went to college in, but none of those stayed after graduation.

Correct. The solution is usually that they'll just create special functions for doing numeric comparisons, that accept an adjustable epsilon margin of error, to use instead of the built-in numeric comparison functions. There're a

If you do end up finding a way to make a break up with non-technical founders go smoothly, without them running your name through the mud or threatening to blackmail you, then please do let us know. Not sure it's possible.

Was really hard to figure out what in that article has anything to do with "design". If anyone is as confused as I was, it seems that "design thinking" is something totally different: http://en.wikipedia.org&#

Thanks for this. Design trends really are detached from any sensible reality. They're turning good designs into bad designs whenever a site tries to modernize themselves to match these trends. Here's my rule for web app design: 90

Great concept. One feature request: Better calculations for cities with Bi-modal price distributions. Certain cities have a extremely bi-modal distributions of pricing. I.e. they can support both the "broke artist" lifestyle, and

This is a serious problem that requesters face. Often the workers who spam everyone with fake work will report anyone who rejects their work as retribution.

Is there actually any dataset of upon which the accuracy of this detector is measured and improved? Or is it just some hard-coded rules? For example, does it really differentiate between people who ask for votes, and people who just vote up

I'm working on a search product now. I find it really fascinating that many people immediately know and have adopted this "specific-type general-type" query structure, whereas many others have no idea. It feels like we'r

I'm about to deploy a new autocomplete on my site, probably with 10s to 100s of millions of records, at least 100 users at once. Would the new Redis commands help here? How would the memory usage be? Is it better to just use something

Like the basic idea. I'm often finding myself hacking together basic alerts on feeds, similar to this.

And that, to me, is the strangest thing about Bitcoin: https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate The miners, never, stop. Completely disconnected from the market pricing.

Cool tool for developers, but since this one is open source, I think it opens up even more interesting possibilities for these tools to be integrated into part of a consumer app. Curation is the next big trend, right? I think I'll give

So many original content posts have been nailed by the voting ring detector. I can almost guarantee that many of those "friends asking friends for votes" usually have no connection to the original author at all. Maybe it's ju

True, those are a good target. I'm thinking of the more dangerous types though, where the person genuinely thinks that their negativity is highly valuable, when it isn't. Those are everywhere on the "Show HN" threads. El

Every pessimist imagines their negativity to be extremely constructive and the "best" possible response. See the comment I just replied to above :)

Killing the mean and stupid stuff is great... but wish someone would kill the genuine but dismissive and negative stuff too.

Is it similarly immoral for an investor to put money into a startup that they "know" (highly suspect) will fail? No one knows what will happen, even if they claim they do. The options aren't only "know it will go up&quot

So there's logic behind the emotion, eh? :) Something eliminates the unknown and just leaves clear facts and logic? Yes, this is perfectly what I mean. I'm most impressed by the very smart man who is able to say "I just don&#

What I love about cryptocoins is that so many "book smart" people hate them. Bringing up the topic is an awesome way to find out who's stubborn and closed minded. Lately I've been using this topic as my "VC test&quo
