I posted a similar question a couple of days ago here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1058437 I'm curious how much it really matters. I can see it being a big deal for email, but for organic traffic I'm not convinced. Most domain s

Wow, the metro dogs are particularly interesting. I can see myself "adopting" one that shared my commute. ...they definitely do clean the city. They keep the population of rats down. I wonder if the dogs have learned to relieve themselves

The legal jargon is the first grievance, which I obviously have to just accept as part of the game, but the ambiguity of it is what I have difficulty accepting. Does this clause prevent me from pursuing my own ventures during this time? I

Funny seeing this. I'm currently reviewing a NDA & contract for a consulting gig and came across this gem: Recipient agrees that any violation or threatened violation of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to COMPANY, entitli

Some old Piers Anthony/David Eddings books from my 14yr old son, which was possibly one of the most personal gifts anyone has ever given me. My daughter got me a laminated Spanish vocab foldout which was really awesome because I've been me

I imagine having YC behind you makes a significant difference.

Yeah the stock photo is probably a bit too market-y, will work on replacing with solid content. This is a good candidate for a/b testing.

If you are young and just starting, try to find a position with a web dev company who uses the technologies you want to learn. Pick an agile company who doesn't need a load of sign-offs to get something done. Don't worry about your $/hr.

Why not use the money for music education now and be actively involved (or not) instead of in x number of years (40?) from now?

Great story. It's also interesting that most popular music is made by people who don't know squat about music theory.

I think this is pretty significant advice. My daughter broke her foot one day before getting on a plane to Barcelona, where we planned on doing a lot of swimming, I had a waterproof cast cover over-nighted and they sent two. One for me an

I don't know if you can do that with posterous or not, but I know WordPress is used for a lot of sites whose content relies heavily on images. peopleofwalmart.com would be a example.

Blogger, WordPress.com, Posterous, Tumblr, Weebly, TypePad, etc... are all good choices, each with their own pluses and minuses. If you get to the point where you want more flexibility, and customization with your choice of plugins, please

No doubt. I've heard the 1% rule, which mirrors my own experience, but I've never heard the "5% rule of thumb". Also, what defines a "really sweet offer"?

Checking it out now. One thing. When I click on the ? next to the "targeting score link" it just takes me to the top of the page. The tool tip is "How is this calculated?", but I'm not seeing the info after clicking the link. I'm particula

I've seen it before and wasn't very impressed. Think more like Iron Man.

Personal crash safety suit for motorcyclists/extreme sports which could absolutely protect against all damage. I have ideas, which could be applied to other applications, anyone have the $100,000,000?

It's the same in Europe. My wife is Spanish and when I learned that you could transfer money to anyone's bank account easily and free, my brain exploded. It's amazing that the U.S. is (was?) considered the leader of technological innovation

It was thin, but the one gem that you don't hear very often is to approach being an employee as a way to learn how to successfully run a business, rather than a way to get a paycheck. Sound advice for entrepreneurs who, for whatever reason

This looks very cool. Can your system deploy to Azure or other clouds? Currently, the system deploys only to Flooha servers. The "free" accounts are deployed to an Amazon EC2 instance. The paid accounts are deployed to a dedicated serve

I have an interesting perspective on this since my startup, flooha.com is extremely similar, but actually better in some ways IMHO. First of all, AFAIK, the web platform installer just sets up your PC to be a web server (IIS, mysql, etc...)

His story out of college sounds just like mine. Mechanical engineer, disillusioned with the M.E. environment and excited about computers and the internet. Same time frame too. Glad to see he is successful with his current startup.

One interesting exercise you can do is to write down all of the things that you think would make you the person you want to be and then prioritize and set goals to incorporate each into your life. For example, your list might look somethin
