I think the change in mentality will take a series of successful Pittsburgh companies. There's no lack of resources for a student (or anyone) who wants to start a company in Pittsburgh. If you've got a skilled team and an intriguing market

Any advice or thoughts about what we (Pittsburgh startups) can do to get students excited about our respective companies and convince them to take a role with us over another job?

The videos I've saved work for me when I browse Instafilm on my iPad. It may depend on your specific video - if I remember correctly, some YouTube videos are unable to support HTML5.

I was just about to make something like this for myself. Thanks for making it! Looking forward to an iPad app. One quick bit of feedback: I notice when I'm logged in and try to refresh my saved videos (say to refresh to see whether the vide

I've seen Luis von Ahn (founder of Duolingo/ReCaptcha) speak twice about his new project (once at a CMU Project Olympus update and once at TEDxCMU a few weeks ago). A few things that may be of interest to the HN crowd: * This project is cur

Hi Vladik - I'm working on a product that is somewhat related to this. Could I email you about it? Or shoot me an email: justin.burdett AT gmail.com Not sure if we're going to directly solve your problem at the start, but I'd love your inpu

I disagree. Everyday is a part-time collaboration by 4 people that hasn't taken on funding, let alone $41M worth. And Everyday has a business model that doesn't mine data about you: it's $1.99 on the app store. So, I guess it's like Color i

Nice! Definitely do it. We've been so thrilled to be part of the program. I'd be happy to answer any questions or meet up sometime to talk about our experiences so far. Email's in the profile.

My company is participating in the current AlphaLab (Pittsburgh) cycle. Although we're still learning all the details about what being in the Network will mean for us, I can't imagine that this will be nothing but good for us, our company a

For a second there, I thought this was a Google Group for parents whose kids are or have participated in Y Combinator (replaced HN with YC in my head). That would be an interesting group.

It would be neat to consider other types of images you could "clean up" or alter for people - sort of like a Posterous-meets-Photoshop app. An obvious example that comes to mind would be to remove red eye from pictures. I know a lot of phot

True, but 37signals also offers an affiliate program, so it's possible that ad was created by an affiliate member. I don't have a link handy, but I remember when they reported early results of the affiliate program they specifically mention

Part of the trouble is also that the decision makers in charge of adding staff and directing the digital version(s) of the Daily Collegian are not well versed in the technology themselves. They probably just copied and pasted the job post f

Awesome! I coach a local HS program in Pittsburgh and run some middle school Ultimate as well. Might have played you guys at some point, used to play for Penn State.

I'm big into the Ultimate (Frisbee) community and while we typically do not play with a Wham-O brand disc anymore, we do owe a lot to this man's effort to bring Frisbees into the mainstream. Thanks for everything.

To clarify, your @reply won't necessarily appear in everyone's feed. It will only appear if: 1) They are the user you are sending the @reply to, OR 2) They follow you AND the person you send the @reply to. So for example, if I follow @balsa

So long as you start the tweet with @[twitteruser], your @reply will only appear in someone's feed if they follow you and also the person you are sending the at-reply to. Or if they are the person you're sending the message to, of course.

Agreed - Also in Pittsburgh here. Looks like he was able to get office space on the North Side that qualifies for that tax credit. Not a bad area at all - just a short walk along the riverfront park to PNC Park/Heinz Field!

Maybe. Even if Fake Steve is a character, Dan Lyons wrote the words. If he wasn't prepared to take some flack back, he shouldn't have started Fake Steve in the first place. I'm willing to bet both writers are fine with the exchange, possibl
