Read the Republic Wireless forums to see how many people actually understand the QoS settings of their router. These people are seemingly power users at the least, and certainly early adopters. Perhaps it's the acronym soup engineers expect

Agreed, this is all too common. Not to mention these supposed developer boards should not have audio, or half of the USB ports on offer. I would actually prefer dual gigabit LAN, as I'd guess most of us would prefer using these boards for h

Interesting. I should probably clarify that I'm paraphrasing CEO Jeff Bewkes's thoughts given a couple quarters ago; these aren't my own thoughts. It seems like you have found further reasoning on your own which makes sense, and would give

I think you have a good grasp of how the execs at Time Warner Inc. (not TW Cable) see it. One can read the earnings call transcripts on seekingalpha where they all but spell it out. But, just to make it clear here for Chuck and others (rath

As a small ecommerce player, I can't see why you would even bother doing this in any state other than the one in which you operate. I don't think Newegg does this, for example. BTW, I live in a zipcode with 2 cities that have different sale

Have you thought about forming a US corporation (C Corp or LLC)? Yes, you would have to pay some taxes, but you could choose a low/ no tax burden state like Delaware or Wyoming. Assign a local agent, with physical/ mailing address, and open

Fair enough. They appear to object with 1 of following 2 reasons: 1) Company X does not appear to specify sufficient mechanisms to allow communities to protect their names and reputations from misuse at the second level, except through def

I'm dealing with something similar, but the forms come from the government, and they seem to have intentionally made it so one has to print the forms out and fill them in by hand (form data is not savable), Since these forms are only publis

I know of two, but I can't think of either name right now. One of them presented at TC Disrupt in NYC back in, I think, 2010.

Very nice, thanks. Brokers/ agents have been a source of opacity in numerous markets, and while they have a place, I really like your approach (and thoroughness). Good luck.

I live in the US and know nothing of the UK property market, but could you talk a bit about how you combat against this? Sorry if this is a trade secret, or otherwise 'non-discussable.'

I mentioned NPR because that is what I happened to be listening to at the time, but they seem to prefer Twitter over Facebook (vs. BBC, which seems to be the opposite). NPR's physical corporate address is on their site, and if you were to s

Instead of typical advertising, I would suggest you look at prominent Twitter users from various media organisations. For example, pick out an NPR personality, make them a sign, and send it to them. Do the same for others that do not have o

There is a lot more to a business than simply making the product.

That's interesting. In the freight, and oil services industries, transactional is often used to describe spot market arrangements versus contractual ones. I think that makes sense, but I need to think about it a bit more as it relates to ri

You should note that there are actually two separate companies: Time Warner Inc (TWX), and Time Warner Cable (TWC).

This was an amendment to the Colorado Constitution by the voters of the state. The Colorado state legislators can't override this like they could a statutory ballot measure.

I think this notion varies depending on whether one is discussing B2C or B2B. I would love for some smart folks to "steal" my idea, and build a real marketplace for spot-freight, but nobody with talent seems interested. I believe this has t

Lots of supposition and subjectivity. I'm pretty much clueless on this topic, but from a quick scan this seems like pure gossip. I've learned nothing at all except for various HN opinions, and I have trouble understanding if and/or what the

Just in case you hadn't noticed, there are 3 throwaway accounts (apparently opened just for this) running around this thread attempting to discredit any of the ideas expressed by the OP because the OP had the audacity to charge for his time

In the comments, someone (from last week) linked to this post: http://mikeconley.ca/blog/2011/09/07/creating-a-new-thunderb... So, it seems like work on a better address book is ongoing.

I remember this (the trolling issue) was a slight problem when SiteChat[1] was submitted to HN. However, it does add to the sign-up friction, so I'm not sure if the trade-off is worth it or not. [1] http://www.chrome-plugins.info/detail/aff

This sounds like a specific, personal experience. It certainly doesn't describe anything I, myself, experienced. If I were to guess, I would say you are in your early 20s?

While I generally agree with you, I think people like us are somewhat to blame for not providing an alternative to FB that is as easy to use. I also blame my friends, relatives and acquaintances that have been so easily seduced, but I'm not

About the same as mine as well. Although I don't personally utilize Facebook, I believe this could take the place of it. My friends' use of Facebook makes me feel uncomfortable, like I have to monitor them (they just don't have any understa
