This book might be of interest: Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution: The Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars It’s comprehensive and goes into the why and how, which is not to say it’s easy to do.

My thoughts exactly. Here’s hoping their anti-PWA stance might soften with increased antitrust scrutiny.

Thank you, I’ll email you directly. Your super quick response on a previous HN thread was a key reason we decided to sign up with Mercury in the first place...

We switched to Mercury only to discover you don’t support wiring money to all countries (we need South Africa support). Perhaps this (hopefully temporary) limitation could/should be included in your FAQ? In the interim we’re going to l

This brings back memories... I was the technical half of a two person team who built the very first Thomas Cook website in 1995. Of course, e-commerce was a step too far at the time, but there was much excitement when the spec for HTML fram

Patrick, the way Stripe continues to engage with Hacker News and remains true to its roots is an inspiration. Congratulations!

Yes, that’s what they were known as in South Africa.

Immad, congratulations on the launch! 1) Do you support international wire transfers? If so, any advantages in terms of fees and exchange rates over a traditional bank such as Wells Fargo? 2) Do you require hardware keys or does 2 factor au

This appears to be a case of patriotism vs the Almighty Dollar, albeit with shades of nuance. Is it standard practice for security software vendors to provide enterprise clients with audit rights? And could a restriction in future market op

The article above is specifically about VC-funded companies by definition. Nobody is arguing that you can’t be a successful entrepreneur outside of a startup hub. But if you’re going to play the “bubble metrics” game, raise VC, grow rapidly

The kind of entrepreneurs most likely to succeed (and therefore gain the attention of VCs) figure out how to relocate to startup hubs where they can get the attention of the VC community and network their way into the ecosystem. It’s way ea

This has all the makings of a 'KDE vs Gnome'-like battle. For those not around at the time, a quick refresher: KDE was launched to applause and was based on a (then) restrictive Troll Tech license (for its QT library). This restrictive lice

Agreed AirBnB can't create the expectation of covering the cost of apartments being "trashed" for fear of abuse of the policy. You can be sure that their lawyers are vetting all messages too, for fear of creating a chain of liability, shoul

You should show your pricing up front. I'd never start a trial if I didn't know what the price was going to be after the 30 day trial was up. I'd be worried I'd like it but would find the price too high.

Great app, btw. Just bought Boxcar. I wonder what a HN mention will do to your stats? Is support for multiple accounts on the roadmap?

I'm looking forward to seeing if it can answer the question, "When was JFK shot?". Was chatting with someone previously from PowerSet who maintains it won't be able to, but I'm hoping he's wrong...

Yes, but locally hosted, configurable (you have the source, Luke) and optionally private for your team.

I think this is a hugely exciting development and can see numerous ways our startup can use this internally. Our team is spread between San Francisco, Cape Town and Rio De Janeiro and the real time nature of this makes for an excellent inte

That adds up to a pool of roughly 20% for management. That's the venture-backed world for you. Try taking 3 rounds and see where it leaves your equity! More telling are the equity stats by founder status (more detail in the post on mean and

One of the things Oracle does VERY well is acquire companies. They do it a lot more often than most people realize and have it down to a fine art. That does not mean that everyone fits into their culture, but they'll identify those people a

To answer my own question: we're both '1' & '2'. We're actively using some of them and figuring out how to deploy more of them. We're in the enterprise software space and are completely bootstrapped. Having taken the hybrid product/cons

I'm curious to kick off a discussion around this... With regard to 'Lean Startup' principals, are you: 1) actively using them 2) planning on using them 3) only using/planning to use a subset of them 4) confused by all the attention they're

fastcgi with Apache will be a waste of your time I think. Apache+php is solid, but a memory hog. If you want to keep things simple, move to Nginx with php+fastcgi. This is the suggested config for Slicehost. Or, as previously suggested, off
