This! You may not realize it but your co-founder is likely very dependent on you getting those users. You can try and broaden your horizons but make sure you get your work done first and foremost! Also ask yourself, does my co-founder even

Can't agree more. Though the design could be improved for the HN audience, it might actually work better with the target audience (but what do I know! I'm no designer). Good for a first app. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I'll likely just build a prototype and link it to HN for initial 'beta' signups. I'm not really a fan of making landing pages to extract email address. Its great for certain things

hummm, ya I guess that could be close to what I want to do. Thanks for the heads up. I'm planning to do stuff a little differently though (mostly visually. I don't want to make a HN clone). The only other major difference is I wan

While I can't be certain, I believe it might not handle wear very well based on the article. Near the end they mention that it molts several times growing new, larger versions of the gears. When its an adult, it actually loses these ge

I think option 4 is most accurate. Bones and joints basically act as levers and pivots so why can't gear like body parts be found in other lifeforms.

That actually makes a lot of sense then. They have an overabundance of interns who are willing to work pointless exhausting hours to prove their mettle allowing them to make bank on man hours. The question become then, why do clients allow

I haven't used sublime that much so I can't really compare them. RubyMine has helpful things like auto-complete, cmd+click to see function/class code (works for things like locales and gems too), generators without going to t

Also don't forget that at an event that size outsiders could potentially get in or maybe some staff/security did it. Best bet is to think about it as being a completely public place at that point. Would you leave your laptop unatt

I might use one if it was inside a building and associated(/partnered?) with a business within that building. The main reason for this is I'd perceive them to be more invested in maintaining the freshness of the fruits more than s

Best bet is to go with "tower" or just "computer" when it comes up in a normal conversation. If a non-techy is asking you about what's inside I'd suggest sticking to the basic components (CPU, hard drive, graph

I second this. Maybe they could add an extra note detailing any know user data retained by the service (at least as far as the general public knows)

Now this is exciting stuff! Makes me hopeful that we might reach star trek level of mass replicators in every room within my lifetime I wonder how well it actually performs though?

that's not feasible in the long run. Try that on a large or enterprise level project and watch your product fall apart. The effort you save by not testing will be wasted fixing bugs many times over. Test driven development isn't n

Some form of test driven development. Helps programmers get a better grasp of what they want to solve while creating some meaningful tests. I sadly only really got into it well after I finished school. Not a good idea to try this out while

That's a good point I suppose. I'm Canadian so I'm in the same boat as you. I guess I'm not as worried since they (NSA) already have all my information from everything else I do online (one of the bad parts about being i
