   I'm torn here. Probably won't post them all - though I'm sure we'll be posting some of them (there may be some problems our partners would be unhappy about us posting.)

   Thanks for the questions! If you pique whomever pitches the initial problem they agree to mentor your team over three months of building out the product. It would be good to go in with the expectation of starting a real company from this.

   Great questions, I'll answer in-line: -What if the winning hackers win at two of your events... -Being that this is invite only - I don't plan on having the same teams at two events. -Is the money in the form of 'a gift... -Nope, it's an ac

   It basically means you have to chat with the Band of Angels and Originate. For example, the Band's prize is in the form of seed funding. How exactly that looks might change based on the team. For Originate it includes: - the award is for i

    Thanks! Founder here and yes, we're definitely expanding outside of health. I like your version as well - really flip the market on it's head.

    How do you pronounce this? It reads "shitty", which is probably not what you want. Cool background, lots going on though - could you provide context for it's usage?

    I'm not sure when the last time a HN post made me actually laugh out loud. Well done yourself! Also, it helps to be part hacker :)

    We're going for more of a party in SF, and get discounts at a bar after the event. No McDonalds though, sorry.

    Haha we're still looking into that... though the test might be less than scientific for legal reasons. Programming ability might have to be more subjective, but we've also built a Ballmer Calculator based off well established formulas. Basi

    As a thank you to the HN community that made Hacker Fair (for the Hacker Dojo) so great, I'm giving $5 off... which means it's $10 for an open bar on Cinco De Mayo. Use HackerNewsLovesBeer (not case sensitive)

    Jason, your product seems like a fun idea, especially because it allows you to use it over wallpaper (which, since untextured, is probably the best use-case). That said, please go read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegi

    I love the idea. Might want to make the radius a bit bigger though. I didn't realize it was going to do anything until you explicitly told me to check it out (my mouse was ~200px from the left side, scrolling w/ the wheel).

    You make a great point. It probably took me a day to figure out what "karma" was, upvotes, etc. I don't think I sent a single upvote for weeks since I didn't know how important they were/weren't. HN isn't really set up for the new user, I

    Thank you! Took a lot of nit-picking and swearing at the computer, but glad it paid off.
