"With Twitter, Zynga, Facebook and Google in the ultimate game of one-upmanship, small startups are simply not going to be able to compete for talent in the Valley." I disagree, there will always be a sizable handful of engineers that would

Interesting, looks like businesses can 'claim' their 'places'. Wonder if it's just a 'list' feature for their already implemented location service? Or is there something bigger going on here?

I don't think there's anything wrong at all with having a good public image, and being a part of the "scene" if that's what you're into. Just as long as it doesn't interfere with the quality of your product/service.

I used to regret a lot of things, now I don't. You learn from every mistake you make. (As I like to say in my own geeky way "Every failure == +1XP")

Very true post, however, I disagree with the "Do not ever work" and "Do not ever try hard" parts. For everything you enjoy doing, there's always some work behind it. When Picasso went to paint, he had to spend time setting up his canvas and

I totally agree, the bay area will always be preferred over other centers. But I think this will be a great alternative for European entrepreneurs that can't secure a visa to start up in the US.

I don't think this really has any ground. It's not like you were forced to upgrade to iOS 4.

Definitely don't be upset if you're not selected. There are quite a few YC funded startups that failed and I'm pretty sure the same could be said about some startups that were rejected by YC and ended up becoming very successful. Remember Y

Man, I hate when larger companies do this. It's understandable when barely anybody uses the service, but I know quite a few people that used this service on a daily basis who are really pissed off at the news. It just doesn't make any sense

Perhaps you could add a moderation queue for RMS posts from users below a certain karma? It would kinda suck to completely block ALL of the RMS posts from new users.

Interesting, at first the HTML5 was notably faster and smoother than the flash version, then the HTML5 became slightly sluggish and the flash version became smooth and fast. Anyone else get this? I'm on Chrome.

I don't think hacker news is the right place to be asking advice. After all, from what I can tell, the level of confidence among the people here is very high :). My personal advice would be to get busy with something that doesn't involve co
