To be fair, you would be the PERFECT candidate to fill that role for a company. You'd probably have to accept a fairly hefty pay cut though!

I don't work out of the NYC office, but if you're interested in checking out www.getharvest.com, I can see if one of my co-workers would be willing to chat you up. jon at getharvest

My first impression of the home page was that it's way too busy. The "Use Onista To" type information should be front and center followed by search for products. The social networking stuff is cute, but not the major function (or at least

The problem with reseller hosting is that you have absolutely no technical control. You sell hosting to a bunch of people, and then if the server(s) crap out, you start fielding a ton of angry phone calls. There's absolutely nothing you c

I just found internetsecure.com when I was looking for the same. Best I've found so far. Paypal makes me uneasy because they've already locked my account once "for suspected security reasons". If I'm running a business, I can't just have

Why not charge what you need/want instead of worrying what the market rate is? http://freelanceswitch.com/rates/ If you're charging too much, you'll find out soon. If you're charging too little, start increasing your rate.

"If we build a prototype or beta do we have enough for an investor to invest in our company/website?" Investors tend to invest in companies/people and less in ideas (unless the idea really is something revolutionary). Get your prototype

The lesson learned (and I'm sorry if you had to read between the lines a bit) is that Techcrunch and the other major outlets aren't the only course for marketing your product. I could have busted my ass making putting together everything I

Hey Sam, Vancouver's pretty pricey too. You may want to check out Vancouver island/Victoria instead. Either way, there's plenty to see & do, and really, they're only an hour apart on a boat (it might save you some money though). The w

I'll second that. All of the low-cost payment processing solutions are so unprofessional looking. It's terrible having a professional looking site, and then having to send a customer off to Paypal or some other ghetto service. Bonus point

It's hard to gauge your level of expertise from your post, but if you're a fairly non-technical person (don't mean to offend), you may be better off looking at some sort of pre-built option. Amazon offers "stores" where people can go set u

I'm not sure if you've read any of the content on this site, but it's not really a "hacker" site of the meaning you're implying. Hacker News is more like a digg.com for people with more than a handful of neurons.

It might sound a little slimy (but no worse than what this developer has pulled on you), but you've given her a 35% stake in THE COMPANY, not the product, no? You could always shut down the company, sell off the assets (your prototype) to

Hey, I take exception to the bad weather comment! We're currently having a very nice spring. Lots of flowers. Yeah, I think the Valley has a certain magic to it, but if you're outside of there, and have no plans to move, it doesn't really

I didn't say that Facebook has failed, I said Facebook has failed us. There's a huge difference between the two statements. I would imagine that the average reader of Hacker News uses a few web apps already. The point of my article was th

Sure... are you providing the Windows machine to test it? I'll send you my shipping address. C'mon. What is it, ActiveX, or does the layout just break horribly in a proper web browser?
