If you're attempting a 'startup' and not a 'project', I believe that it is important to plan a revenue model from the inception. It can be difficult to force-feed a revenue model on your product after it has gained significant momentum. You

I think it would help if the app did something other than forcing you to connect with Twitter. The MVP shouldn't really be a landing page.

I don't get it, the MVP of this site is a landing page? I have clicked "Like", but was not presented with any beta access. Is this just a thought at this point? I like the idea, I want to see some 'beef'.

Here's something completely outside of the box, but what about Android adoption? It would immediately bring more developers to their platform by proxy of Android. I do think the huge change in OS may be something that their devout users ha

As one of the largest home-grown Canadian operations in this sector, I hope that they can again be a dominant company. Unfortunately, I just don't see this happening. From being blindsided by the iPhone to not even bothering on catching up

I believe that most of the articles that been posted to HN that are negative in regards to doing a PhD are referring more to the liberal arts types of degrees, and the author here points out some reasons that these people are going on to do

I can't agree enough with a job interview being a 2-way street. It is extremely important to ask tough questions from your interviewer(s) and make sure that any job offer is a good fit for both sides. Unfortunately, a lot of the time your

Do they plan on backporting some of the awesome stuff that Blackberry is announcing that the PlayBook will support? If not, I think they stand a chance of really accelerating the decline of their smartphone marketshare. From what a colleagu

This may be true of the Liberal Arts types of degrees, but where do you think the engineering fields stand? Engineers and computer science PhD students don't typically have to rely on landing a professorship, as there are companies that hir

They liken it to counting cards in blackjack, which gives you a mathematical edge. They aren't getting a mathematical edge here, they are cheating. I am very interested in how they figured out the key combination that makes this possible, a

I recently remedied a problem that I was having, which was importing my Chrome bookmarks into Keepass. I figure that this could also help some of the folks on HN, so here is the info: writeup: http://alanp.ca/blog/2011/01/01/export-google

This is backed up with no citations and it is from 2006. Also of note, it is written by a software engineer and not a doctor. Not worth much in my book.

I'm not sure where this idea of domain names being infinite came from, but it isn't really true[1]. There is a maximum length per top level domain, and also a finite number of top level domains. Until we're allowed to register top level d
