Saying that HTML is nothing but a technology created for hyperlinked text is like saying the mobile device you're using all the time was created to pass phone calls. While this is true, it is a truly weak statement. You make it sound like l

While I totally understand your feeling, you should be aware that this strategy wouldn't work if you wanted to start a company like Tesla or Intel. No offense, but what you call a startup might be more considered like a business by the HN

You're generalizing too much if you believe that the whole AWS stack is bad. S3 is very reliable, and I'm not aware of anything as reliable (we're talking eleven nines)/simple/cheap/distributed. EC2 gives you the ability to manage instances

Like dsr_, I had never seen this game before, and he is totally right saying that your lack of promotion is a mistake. I just tried it, and I spent nearly 15 minutes shooting the bad guys. I believe it has a bit of potential. You should giv

I would like to make sure that people here understand one thing. The hatchlings guys are doing it wrong. Who's to blame in this story? The guys who based their business on something they had absolutely no control on, or the company using al
