HN is very hostile to non-YC startups. Just avoid this site for promoting your non-YC startup.

Meh, all the whining about this is complete bullshit. If you didn't pay for the product, and instead downloaded the free version, and used it indefinitely, expecting the developer work on it, full time, without compensation, and didn't pay

You're probably in the minority. My usage of desktop software has been dropping dramatically over the years. I'm basically left with 5 or 6 apps, including a browser, a file picker, a code editor, and a command prompt. The more powerful

Nope I'm perfectly in the right to insult these companies. They are idiots and need to be slapped in the face with the reality that the genius coders they're looking for will laugh in their face.

Ask HN: So you're looking for a full-stack engineer?

You could probably just go down the list that 37 Signals made of companies that Yahoo acquired: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2777-what-happens-after-yahoo...

I am very curious what goes in those Board of Directors meetings. Does everyone just sit around asking eachother "What the fuck does this company do, and how are we still in business?" Seriously, what does Yahoo do? I don't know, because I

Why after a few years is noone able to build a 10 inch tablet? I honestly don't care how good an Android tablet is, I'm just so accustomed to the iPad form factor that I won't give it up. To get me interested, an Android manufacturer need

I got the impression that they already know what it's going to cost for the first production run. They showed the parts they're using, they obviously know what their costs are. They'd have to be complete morons to price it at $99 if it mi

I think Ouya makes Nexus Q and every Google TV box completely obsolete. I am convinced that Google simply does not have the insight to make a successful set top box.

I'm absolutely baffled at the HN negativity revolving around this product. If they deliver what they're promising, I think it is going to be a smashing success. I have had a bunch of a neat, simple console game ideas kicking around for a l

we are working on our stretch goals, what we can do if we raise more money. How about instead of moving the goal posts out further, just focus on delivering what was presented in the Kickstarter video.

I have never encountered a scenario where I need to work on the same file, at the same time as somebody else. That's what revision control is for. This looks like it was built by people who don't use a revision control system.

HN has been dominated by negative comments in general No the problem is the comment voting system on HN is completely pointless, and doesn't allow good comments to rise to the surface. So you end up reading all good/positive and al

This is almost certainly why they also don't offer smaller paid accounts (like 10-20GB) -- they know users of such tiers will probably keep their accounts maxed out. I know I almost always utilize nearly 100% of my 2GB free account, and I'

Washington DC politicians are exposed as corrupt public figureheads representing a government-protected cartel of incumbent corporations? And this is news to some people?

charge $10 or whatever price and get a few friends to buy that application Your plan will backfire. There's no way you'll be able to bribe 100 people to buy BlackBerry 10 smartphones.

v8 is not actually much faster I'm not concerned about raw performance. I'm concerned with Apple forceably making iPad 1 (along with all older devices) unnecessarily obsolete by restricting the web browser on the device. A really g

Is Chrome for iOS open source? Would there be a way to add V8 back in and release it on Cydia? That may extend the lifespan of Apple products indefinitely. My iPad 1 is already deemed obsolete by Apple and will never receive another web

Why can't a company worth nearly a billion dollars just go public? There are thousands of public companies worth less than a billion. So why sell your soul to a VC who could push you into a situation that could make you implode, rather th

I disagree, restricting humans is exactly what needs to happen for personal air travel to ever to be safe. The humans are the rogues, they're ones that are going to cause problems, not follow standard procedures, drink and fly, check their

Self-flying air vehicles like this are probably easier to implement than cars. For simple reasons, such as there being no obstacles like roads, street lights, pedestrians, and because you have a 3rd dimension there is significantly more sp

No way. I'd be exceptionally surprised if more than one developer is dedicated to it. All the components inside iGoogle are already supported by their respective teams. News, Calendar, Finance -- in iGoogle these services are accessed by
