I wonder if they will invest in some companies who apply for YC but do not end up getting in.

By marketplace do you mean buying and selling side projects? From the launch page it appears it's more like a directory than a marketplace - is that correct? Either way, this is a classic chicken or the egg problem. Your website will o

I got an error message when trying to connect to the App Store yesterday. The first thing I did was refresh HN to see if there was an outage or issue.

Those are subscription prices. So on the other hand, if you sell 0 digital goods in a month you will owe nothing with this service but $5 on the other service. With % pricing you will never go in the negative. Edit: Not saying this is a bet

I've researched this a lot and I have found that the cross platform options are just not there yet. Non-native apps feel weird to users and are almost always hated. I'd start with native Android.

PG, I'm curious if you have any data among your startups that tests user recruitment methods. For instance, maybe you've seen that Reddit is great for gaining users in consumer startups but cold calling is great for B2B startups.

jotpath.com I have an idea for it but not sure when that will happen. Been considering posting it on Go Daddy auctions or something. Edit: If you're interested in it, make me an offer. Email is in profile.

I really like Any.do but if you download it and sync it across the web via the Chrome extension, don't be surprised when a bunch of random tasks show up on your manager. I emailed them about it and they said tasks are added as part of

People flag things with no rhyme or reason I've found. I wouldn't worry about that. I'd be more worried about getting the domain banned from HN in regards to reposting it. But that probably won't happen unless you do it

You can't downvote links on HN. You only have to worry about not receiving upvotes.

Once the JOBS Act regulations go through and companies can crowd-fund for equity, early rounds should go lightning fast. The problem is it will be difficult for the crowd-funding websites to organize and adapt with regulations and the new m

They should be spending some of that cash lobbying for online gambling in the US. Zynga Poker is their best chance at becoming relevant again.

The issue, that Microsoft seems to be blinded to, is that the games will still be the same price as PS4 - absolutely nothing has been said otherwise.

My comment isn't flamebait - I genuinely think iOS has played catch up to Android for the past 2-3 years. But ya, vendors taking forever to update Android is a big problem. That's why I stick with Nexus devices.

Apple is continuously playing catch up with iOS rather than innovating like they were known for in the Jobs era. Most of these features are just copies of other popular apps/operating systems that came out over a year ago.
