Disconnection between articles of the same topic. There are plenty of material about particular subject, each of them describes it from a slightly different angle, it would be great to have them all come together in a single place, but with

Your decision is not fully weighted as you don't know if in the world without wine people won't invent another much more dangerous thing that will ruin the lives of even more people and which will be even more harder to consume casually.

I'm very with you on that one, but how you gonna pitch such advantages to seed investors early on?

These who downvote silently are the freaks afraid of expressing their opinion. Isn't the whole purpose of a website like HN to have discussions?

In spite of the positive outcome for that woman, do you find that article having a depressing effect for you? She was on track for "six figure salary in 3 years" and worked for very reputable enterprises, and still she was not able to come

My take away: -- build the product by yourself -- don't take any money where you give up control -- grow slowly, don't over-market to avoid unnecessary competition -- have direct relationships with clients, have a 800-number -- aim to charg

In his words his service wasn't a GA competitor, also he's saying most of what he did isn't provided by anyone even today. His service was analysing traffic for how to boost the sales

As someone who just cancelled a CC after 2 transactions done by scummers, I find your example silly. I'm responsible for keeping my CC with me and the bank is responsible for providing on-line security. If a CC info was stolen from a shop's

If Microsoft deliver WinPhone 7 as planned, the market share it gains will most likely be taken from Android.

They probably extrapolate the number of users by the increasing number of smartphone sales and arrive at some scaring figure of users in, say, 5 years. Then charge accordingly.

Exciting the press just for the sake of PR can backfire on YC anytime soon

Was this PR necessary for Posterous? Doesn't look right to me. Same kind of thing as the affiliate links called a 'test' after 4 months.

If I'm already happy but just want to expand my horizon, isn't it bad to wish for 1 mln ?

by alexro 16y ago
Soo, it looks like the store is kind of advanced app review directory where instead of urls you click on shortcuts which smartly translate the url into an icon + metadata inside the browser, i.e. "install" the app, and if need be charge you

by alexro 16y ago
I cannot see how the apps are meant to be "installable". Will Google run them on the AppEngine (or similar)? What if my app requires a set of services running on another machine?

Yeah, you're right. Currently Twitter doesn't offer the full firehose stream to every developer and I use several less populated streams to get the replies. I think that over time I'll be able to get all the replies. As for the tweets that
