Would anyone be interested in disrupting this space? My friend and I have been working on something we quite like that deals with subjectivity/ethics concerns, but it's a tough space to be in, and we'd love some help. If you want to get in

Be positive. Stay determined. Keep Hustling. It sucks to be rejected with anything in life, but you only truly fail if you give up. You all seem smart and there are some great ideas here; don't give up and I am sure I'll be hearing about yo

"Once that barrier is gone I think it can create a much more immersive gaming experience that would benefit all gamers." I wonder about this. I think the lack of tactile feedback as well as the higher intensity play style will never sit rig

It's important to be social (people want to work with social and nice* people) but it's probably not important to be a socialite--you know what I mean. Just remember that life is a social event; you're going to meet people all the time. And

"Programming has never been a strong passion of mine", if you look at the real successful people--the people that are happy, they do things that they are passionate about. If you're not passionate about programming or being a hacker--why pu

I want to prelude my question with my own personal belief: I think Paul Graham and company are not only ethical, but good human beings. Is there ever a risk of unintentionally assigning one of the ideas of a lesser group to one of these "A

For those struggling with privacy concerns, I have a very workable (albeit ugly) simple solution to this problem that actually works: Create a second Facebook account. You'll likely have to make other provisions--but if it's really a big d

A lot of book publishers now use facebook likes as a way of determining whether to buy manuscripts from specific authors--which is ridiculous because of things like fivver. I've studied this stuff for a while--I'm a bit dubious in that reg

Yep, it has to do with Canadian law and the desire to retain a Canadian Cultural identity (thus we protect our Cultural industries). I don't think that applies any more though--or at least since 2010 when Amazon was permitted to open up a l

I'm not a scientist, and this is perhaps irrelevant to this thread, but since Jayzee is here, I just wanted to say how much I admire the charming video they've had on their site. Not to be negative, but it's not the most artistic or beauti

I've noticed a few teams in the NHL use iPads on the bench-- besides tracking ice time, and perhaps monitoring heart rate (I think the Sabres are the only ones who monitor this during games so far) what are some of the more obvious benefit

Kaleidoscope is going to be massive! I told my sister about it this morning, and within an hour all of her non-Iphone friends were using it. I think you really stumbled onto something huge here Ryan. I'm really curious though--How and why d

Do you think there is ever a risk to being "over-funded"? I know it sounds stupid, but it's an honest question.

There was a great comment in the VB comments about how the ads are more distinctly targeted--and that makes a lot of sense and is reason enough to pay a bit more per CPM, but in no way should it be a 100x type situation that is going on. O

I think the smart money is probably to pay off your debt, but I'm going to repeat what an older gentlemen once said to me, because it meant so much to me. "Sooner, rather than later, Invest in yourself." I don't know if that will rea

Hey davj, I'm working away on learning javascript as well (currently fueled by codecademy!) any tips for starting a project like this? I'd be really interested in hearing how you took that first step. Oh and...Interesting little project, I

Startups are a lot of work, and I am sure you're starting to realize that with the hours you put into it every day (it gets worse!)--and while I'm sure you could do it, as you sound like a very bright young individual I think you should ju

I'm more interested in seeing what Mr. Milner will do with Zynga than any of his other investments, especially since ZNGA just closed higher than it's IPO for the first time the other day. As an outsider and a game enthusiast, I'd argue th

From a purely artistic standpoint, imitation is a large piece of the modern creation process, if only because of it's increased use in modernism/postmodernism. Everyone's influenced by someone or something, it's just the way things work. I

You know what, I agree but there's a right and wrong way to approach the problem, especially with kids. I mean that's why parents should be involved in the first place in situations like this.

I really like your story man, and I'm glad you're succeeding but I just wanted to voice my opinion on one of the things you said-- "Back at home I immediately found out the cards were worthless. I had paid the kid $100 for the cards, and e

Is there any actual evidence of this? I'd be really eager to refute this, but I'd be more interested in learning it was true. Most "New Studios" I know fall into the exact same trap that their predecessors have fallen into because none of

This was a problem I was faced with, and I decided to just do both. So far it seems like the right step if only because I'm able to learn on the fly and there's a bit of a pressure for me to actually pick up some of these things. Though it

I've never been even a fly on the wall in such circumstances, so I can't comment on the accuracy of what you are saying but look back to the text... "Like real world resourcefulness, conversational resourcefulness often means doing things

I like this. It's really cool. One idea that could be really beneficial is if you crawl auction sites/domain selling sites, and create a subcategory for domains that are for trying to be sold. You've got the registared domains already, but

I know it would be relatively small but can anyone wager a guess as to how much each of the 2gb freemium packages costs Dropbox? At 50 million users it has to add up--I've always wondered about Dropbox's conversion rate (free to pay) but i

There was an article concerning custom-essay writing on HN a little while ago* so this isn't particularly ground breaking for me, but it does beg the question, why commit your time and energy (startups take up a big chunk of your life for

Convore is very much the same in that aspect. I've always thought it was one of the most well designed websites I have ever seen, and constantly look to it for inspiration when approaching my own unique design issues. They do such a great

As a gamer I can't help but wonder, why is this the missing link in IOS gaming? It seems like a step backwards. There are some really fantastic games on this platform that have made use of the on-device controls and the ones that don't wel
