Calling from the registered phone number and verifying address is all you need to get OnStar to unlock your car (I am not sure if its still the case now, but it was the case two years ago). Same thing for username and password. That's

OnStar by GM has many of these features (app, location, unlock, customer service representative can unlock etc.). I don't think there is a recorded hijack/hack there too.

I will add to that - use FB ads just for retargeting, because it is relatively cheaper, and you know these are interested users. There is a cool YC startup https://www.perfectaudience.com/ that does just that.

I remember working for The Jerusalem Post - every time we were featured on Drudge Report we got a huge traffic spike. It was so much that we actually had one/two day campaigns ready to launch when we were featured..

You cannot afford to worry about patents now. Just avoid them altogether. Also, just don't look anything up, or send emails to your co-founder / or anyone else specifying any patents. Because if you will get sued, you will have to disclose

By default, these messages will not go to their inbox. It will go to the "other" box (aka spam :) so unless the user will go in and check it manually they will never see it (no notifications etc.)

Awesome!! Feature suggestion: keyword search on top of it. e.g. I can search "call" to get all the domains that has "call" in them in order of pronounceability.

Thats Detroit proper (do not move to downtown Detroit or Flint :) but the cities around Detroit are good, and I don't know much about the schools there but it's worth looking into. Oakland County has some of the richest cities in the US (a

Probably Detroit or its peripheral cities (there are some nice ones, Birmingham, Royal Oak and more). Dan Gilbert (Quicken Loans) is trying to revive downtown and investing in new startups. Also it's only 45min away from Ann Arbor which is

This is one of the most fascinating HN posts I've read in a while.. nothing practical, just fascinating. PG says somewhere that there is a direct correlation between the length of a comment to its quality. This is the perfect example.

It looks like the main keyword is "Hangouts" Why won't you just change it to: Chill with me hangouts?

I've been using RoboForm, not well designed (it seems like they are improving though) but works great on both Mac and PC (sucks on iOS).

Do not look up patents as a strategy. Its a whole different lawsuit if you infringed intentionally (and you don't want to get there). If it ever gets to that, they can force you to disclose in discovery. Just ignore patents. Patents are onl

Agreed, and since the other comments are also right about the value of a degree. Tell them that if you won't get the salary you want you will go back to school. Its a win win for you (and you should follow through)..

Apple should integrate QR scanning capabilities in the native camera app. I don't want to launch a special app to scan a code, I want to just pull out my phone, without unlocking it launch the camera and scan a QR. If there was a way to swi

Don't get the T-mobile $50 unlimited (I made that mistake when I moved here and I had to change my number), data is slow since the iPhone does not support their 4g or 3g networks. You will have data, but only on EDGE network which is painfu
