I am trying hard to get of out of the "don't need to make money" mindset. It served me very well for years: the decision that money was less important than time allowed me to travel the world for 10 years while having a small online busines

So the key seems to be to having many nodes, corrects? They may shut down some but others can be built at the same time. It's good to know that there are some efforts in this sense, but as far as I understand we're pretty far from it right?

I am a mediocre speaker and a fairly good writer (in Italian) and I always wondered wether these two skills are somewhat mutually exclusive. The same happens to me with learning languages (I'm good, I speak 7 fluently) and orientation (I ge

It's scary to think that it that method goes mainstream any robber would simply need to point a knife to me and say: give me your brainwallet.

this will be useful if it makes access to European VCs easier. Good luck guys, I'll read HE everyday.

from Italy it is often cheaper to go to London, Paris or Prague than from Venice to Milan :) low cost flights beat trains all the time.

I've been working on an online reservation CMS for more than 2 years now and this seems quite a good result. Maybe I would have done some things differently, such as location selection: the drop down is really long, the could have used an

When I was in Vietnam last year I booked a few cheap hotels in the 10-20 U$ a night range (nice ones by the way!) on Agoda.com. Often the reviews went like "best breakfast in Asia" or "I will come back to Vietnam just to stay in this Hotel"

I'm not so sure. Bad reviews give credibility to these websites. Imagine a rental website with only good reviews.

Thanks to the SOPA mess I started transferring to NameCheap. I am glad I won't have to deal with their annoying UI for much longer.

I'd say there even some advantages as you get to meet more people, get more ideas and generally your brain works better while on the road. (My theory for that is when we are in a foreign environment we need to be more careful) I run an onli

We need more posts like this. Success stories are great, they make us believe it can be done. But failure stories are maybe even more valuable as they teach us that so many things can go wrong..so many. Success stories makes us dream (which

I find Chrome for Os X as being very "aggressive" with caching. Sometimes it's misleading as what I am seeing is not what I should see. That forces me to clear the cache more often than other browsers. I love the speed but start to wonder

Disclaimer: I run an online reservation business. Your reading of the whole situation is very good. The Airbnb guys right now will probably hope the worst is past, they made a PR mistake, and fixed it. But I would suggest them to read caref

I agree. I can't even start to imagine the pressure. It's easy for us to say "he should have done like that" because we can think clearly from a distance. This guy was one of us reading HN and hoping to make it a couple of years ago. Now he

Same feeling here. There's a lot "social" can do to improve the accommodation industry, but it may have gone a bit too fast. However it ends for airbnb, the idea is sound and will survive/come back, but I always had the feeling that was go

I thought the same but it does not matter wether this is a setup or not. What matters is that it could happen. airbnb can't do the same: sending somebody in a Hotel and destroy the room? That would prove nothing. Hotels/dedicated accommodat

this seems overly complicated and does not add any value to the idea. Also note that "every XX hours" requires cronjobs or other ways which add another layer of complications and even possible server overload. All can be done of course, but

as it is now, no permanent damage is done when the calendar is not update for a while. But actually it would be nice to have a "last 3 months average update time" which means both no permanent damage but also consider recent behavior.
