I'm sorry you feel this way and I can understand where it's coming from. Raising money isn't an extraordinary event and probably doesn't mean much to you (though it does mean I can pay everyone's salaries for a little longer - and that mea

I started this company with two other friends from YC companies: Nick Alexander and Michael Yuan. It was really to scratch a personal itch: online pricing. When you're selling something online (especially a virtual good) choosing a fair p

That shouldn't be hard since old square dongles are unencrypted [1]. Just create an app that interfaces with the dongle and looks like the obama app. You're good to go [2]. 1. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/per_visas_orders_square.

The most interesting takeaway here is their clever use of a meme to engage in SEO for runningshoes.com. However the discussion itself (and not the technique used to start it) probably doesn't add much to HN so I'd consider this spam.

When we make new hires we give them the option of trading cash for equity. I've found $60k (with the rest in equity) to be a pretty popular choice. Many seem to consider it to be the lowest salary where one can live comfortably in the vall

It'd be interesting to get an idea of how the "HN affect" compares to slashdot. Followup article by chance?

I'm not sure this proves Krugman is wrong. Sell-offs (especially large ones) don't indicate that hoarding hasn't taken place. In fact, if hoarding wasn't taking place I'd expect low variability in trading volume (since the currency would b

Hm, I guess a lot can get lost in translation. :( That "olive branch" comment wasn't intended to be negative. I was saddened by his reply. To address your point: I am not looking for a personal confrontation...just wanting to reach out an

That's a valid point. But is pursuing art (or whatsver) admitting to yourself that you value art more than world hunger? After all, that's how you're allocating your resources. Fwiw, anyone who knows me know I don't have a holier-than-thou

It looks like things have died down. The steady state seems to be one where the balance is low and the transactions are small: http://dpaste.com/589113/ . That would imply that the card is currently being used as intended.

That was me. One latte plus $25 worth of food for two homeless guys outside. Turns out they didn't want any of it. I think I might've insulted them by bringing them food that they hadn't asked for. :/

If your skills are as you describe then move to the bay area and look for a job out here. There are a lot of hackers out here who could help you out. Heck, even I have a couch (in Mountain View) that you can crash on for a few weeks. Emai
