Hey Michael - Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure it's out of line to plug that we're hiring...especially in a post about my departure to join Freshplum. You are right - there are more effective options. However we're at the stage wher

You're making a straw-man argument. GiraffeNecktie isn't asserting that a quote would prove something, just that the headline "What about economists?" would lead the reader to expect the opinion of at least one economist to be referenced i

Interesting. My experience with the two organizations would lead me to disagree. Fb eng are not more focused on wealth than my friends at Google. To answer the original question: Depends on what you define as cool. Generally Google seems

Unfortunately the entire photos team works in palo alto. If lunch goes well we might be able to convince a Dublin team to do the same.

My girlfriend convinced me to apply to YC with the idea for Divvyshot. It was two days before the deadline. I submitted the application the night it was due and spent that week hacking together a prototype with a friend. Here's the video

Thanks Jason. I'll forward your suggestion to the groups PM. Disclamer: this might be by design. The proudct was intended for small groups of people that actually know each other (families, soccer clubs, close friends, etc).

What you're describing is a bug that hasn't previously been reported to us. Why are you hesitant to follow up via email so that we can investigate?

It's possible that you previously synced that number. Can you email me directly with your Facebook profile ID or alias? I'd like to investigate: samodio@company.com EDIT (1 hour later): I haven't received your email and we haven't been ab

There are a number of inaccuracies in this article that I'd like to correct: > The Facebook app also appears to share numbers for contacts that you don’t have, but your Facebook friends do. This does not happen. After syncing, the Fac

Shout-out to pcardune, who came over from Divvyshot and did a lot of the hi-res stuff at Facebook. Other members of the photos team who were integral to this launch & are HN lurkers: beau, nroman, justinmitchell, makinde. For the recor

It's unfortuante that far33d was voted down. It's a valid question. elblanco is measuring a current valuation against a revenue estimate that's over a year old. http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=%24500m+r...

I haven't asked Zuck personally if he made these comments. However I can say that after working with him on privacy and photo related issues that these comments definitely don't characterize his approach to the subject. He seems like a pre

Based on the first paragraph, it seems the author already realizes this, but he needs to claim less and show more. His argument: 1. The most popular mapping site also has the most consistent satellite/street maps. 2. The inverse is true wi

Decent list, though I'm surprised actually building the product isn't on there: 11. Buy a slice, learn Pythyon/Django, and build a MVP. Cost: $20/month and a bunch of all-nighters.
