A lot of people I follow must use Tweetdeck. This has been retweeted on my feed several times in the last few minutes.

We're still very early in the bitcoin story. Every "chicken and the egg" market gains traction like this - the start is fueled by early adopters on one side (btc buyers and miners) while the other side slowly opens up to it (

I would have never guessed that Apple's largest acquisition ever would be Beats.

The new app was submitted under Spotify's account though.

The hackers would also have to have control of Spotify's Google developer account.

I turned this off years ago when it first came out. I have no idea if turning this off is a false sense of privacy or not. Either way, I turned it back on recently. There are a few things Google requires this feature on such as keeping a hi

I'd imagine that if YC didn't think you and your co-founders would fit in due to your background, they wouldn't have invited you for an interview.

We interviewed twice and were rejected as well. Overall the experience was awesome and we hope to get the opportunity to meet with them again. One thing we didn't realize was how nerve-wracking waiting for the phone call / email w

The risk/reward here doesn't add up. Taking an extra few thousand a month from publishers isn't worth risking the billions in revenue they make per year.

Is anyone in their programming job given several distinct questions and only 3 hours to solve all of them? A more realistic programming test would be a single, complicated problem with an "end of day" time restraint.

HN usernames would be helpful in the post.

I would wait to see the price and the battery life of the Moto 360. My Pebble lasts me around 5 days. The Samsung smart watch lasts 24 hours and is much more expensive.

There is no 'pending' link on the top menu. If I click on 'comments' I see some pending posts that I can endorse. That would probably be a good test.

Buffet said he calculated what he thought the odds were of a perfect bracket and took a premium on top of that. I wonder what return he got on his $1B bet.

Oh I know, but inevitably someone is going to use this endorse thing as a way to be incredibly condescending. Hopefully this system will then prevent that post to show, but I doubt it.

This will fix a lot of the random bickering back and forth, but I'm not sure it will fix the issue of snide remarks always being the number one comment. I think the comment I received the most karma on was when I misunderstood an artic

I can't wait for the first "I endorsed this just so I can tell you how stupid you are" comment.

My parent's ISP is relatively cheaper than its competitors but they inject ads in most popular sites.

Google's mission statement is to "organize the world's information." So maybe Google is like a file organizer for the world?

Google is like a file organizer for the web.

I would assume companies applying to this RFS would be mostly in their later stages and probably already have some type of funding. A lot of these seem to require significant costs up front. One thing that makes YC and other incubators so a

They can be expensive even for small sites. For instance, it's $20/mo for SSL not including the certificate.

The difference is bitcoins provide value for both merchants and consumers. Pets.com and Flooz on the other hand...

As more companies are building on bitcoin and more merchants begin accepting bitcoin, the network effects increases. The network effects are what makes bitcoins valuable.

There isn't an iPad equivelant for Android though. All of the Android tablets share an ecosystem and all of the iOS tablets share an ecosystem; that's where the link is. Perhaps only counting tablets with Android 4.0 and above wou

It's interesting that PG will no longer be reviewing applications. I wonder who the 10 people he referenced who do review applications are.
