The article is more of numbers take on: if the quota is finishing up quicker every year, then shouldn't congress realize it and do something about it. I think what the author means by end of the race is: "It took only 10 weeks this year to

ImpactJS is really good. Currently using that for side-scrolling games. great for indie development. Worked with LimeJS, but it is based on Closure so a bit hard to get used to. However, it gives great performance on web and mobile.

I am not saying that it will work for everyone as it did for me, and I know how fortunate I was. But I do know the system really well enough to get through the process. I actually come from a country where it is extremely hard to obtain a U

It seems like WSJ is bent on villifying Silicon Valley. It would be great if for once they actually focused on companies that make great products in Silicon Valley and that are used by people all over. Of course, that would not drive pagevi

For those who are interested in student debt, there is a really good website called Project on student debt: http://projectonstudentdebt.org/state_by_state-data.php The problem really lies in the fact that the US cannot find the right ans

Oh I dont disagree with the price points, just what was the thought process behind changing them. Its their company they are free to price their product at will. I just want to be a part of it.

So I originally got an email from Roshan, who asked if I wanted to join your first cohort. I think at that time, you guys were offering for $500. I actually said yes, but then Roshan replied that you guys filled up quickly. I then asked him

With all due respect to the socialcam team, I also think their viral growth is due to some underhanded techniques that they are using by posting, without user content, on news feeds. Here is my post on HN regarding this: http://news.ycombi

The real question is, how their new product Kiwi going to stand for itself against other spotify apps. I know a number of music startups, and a lot of them are making apps gunning for deeper social integration on spotify, which seems what K

One caveat, my headline can only ask people to click, though enjoyment/fulfillment is mostly dependent on individual preferences, right?

So is the whole idea that each strip would be animated clips, and storyline would move in smaller clips? The artwork definitely has a unique aesthetic to it. The level of detail is amazing. Products like these, Numberlys, and other Mononbot

So from pg's profile it seem like HN has been around for almost 5.5 years. I haven't been around HN for that long, but was HN initially private and 4 years ago gave access to public? Would be interested to know.

This app fails to do anything innovative in my opinion, as the fact that you have to hand your phone to a stranger and ask them to add their details illustrates. How is that better than just using the contacts app on your phone? I think Car
