This is great! The last time I started a large project I went with JIRA because of cost constraints and FogBugz lacked the Kanban boards and workflow features. JIRA is super flexible and it continues to improve but generally it's just

Neat, but you should add a License file. Not useful to most without one...

Worth a read for sure...

Pretty sure there is no live stream and I think at least some of the presentations are off the record.

On general principle, no, and I'd name and shame both the B-school and the speaker (or, you know, be tactful. whatever). My gut reaction is it's complete BS.

I just went to the Dr this morning and the prognosis was their systems are horrible and just getting worse... Apparently the Allscripts program they use gets really really slow about once a week and is generally over capacity. It was neat t

Well I don't know what they use but there are a bunch of streaming media servers that can do this. Wowza Streaming Engine [1] is top notch and pretty standard [2] Wowza even has a kind of a demo app [2] that can do the streaming part o

Nah, not compared to Oakland or SF. It is starting to get more developed but still a bit sleepy. Park street has become pretty built up. Less going on near the webster side but closer to West Oakland BART (any train to SF) and a little bit

Welcome to the Bay Area. Move to Oakland near a BART station or Alameda if you have a car and want to save money - it's a quick drive to West Oakland BART or the ferry terminal. In SF I like the Inner or Outer Richmond since it's

Your comments are probably getting voted down for not adding much to the conversation and I think people probably felt like your one submission was spammy and off topic since a lot of the US based folks on here are probably wondering why it

No, I just want HBO and don't want to pay for the expensive base cable packages required to get it at all... Happy to pay for Netflix and Hulu Plus too since it adds value to me where as incrementally more cable channels do not.

No. If you have any reservations at all (and it looks like you do) tell them no.

OK, now let's figure out how to do something like this that might actually work for families and then you will have something useful to society as a whole. The current "managed roommate" setup they have going is probably not

It's a good list but my favorite quote from last week, on twitter no less, is instructive: >>> "Fail fast" refers to your product, not your startup." - Justin Kan 18 months ago when I quit my job to join a new c

Try to fix the bugs. Don't rewrite the app from scratch. Keep updating it and keep momentum. The other questions are harder and really something you have to figure out for yourself. I can say a partner can help and turning a side proje

Much like the one on here the other day it's full of ignorant hateful hateful comments and I don't blame them for killing it (If that is even what happened) So was the thread on the woman only ycombinator conference. I know we as

You might want to go way back (I realize you were 8 when this was published but that's ok!) and read this: http://www.paulgraham.com/sfp.html The thesis of what eventually became YC was that young people would do just

Does your side project really require you to run your own node server and mysql server? Do the cost benefit on running those things yourself vs paying more for something like Heroku etc or other services with higher level abstractions. I

This is a great article full of a lot of good advice. Hardware can be very hard for a lot for reasons and you can make expensive mistakes especially if it's your first time bringing a product to market. We successfully bootstrapped som

It does not really matter that much. San Francisco State University has a fine computer science department for your purposes even ( http://cs.sfsu.edu/grad/graduate.html ). Or any state school will do really. I know some

The author is supposedly rewriting the LCTHW book. For what it's worth I have found it useful.

Ah, I have seen DrTon's commits on the project. He has been rather prolific in the last several months. I'd love to connect with you outside of HN and hear what you are working on. Shoot me an email (in profile) if you see this.

Sorry, it gets confusing since APM:Copter autopilot (I guess that's what they are calling it now) can run on PX4 hardware running NuttX too. So they are using the full PX4 flight stack as well?

I know. I was specifically addressing the "follow me" class of drones mentioned that are getting a lot of press these days such as airdog, hexoplus, 3dr IRIS+ (all APM:Copter based) and no one outside university or military settin

None of the "follow me" drones folks are really doing object tracking yet. They basically just "fake it" by sending a bunch of guided waypoints with the offset of the phone or bracelet GPS location in airdogs case and ho

Neat stuff! I don't know much about how your sensor communicates... wifi or cell maybe. But if you happen to be using 915MHz ISM band for anything we make a little $99 MFi accessory for iOS designed for drones you might be interested i

Nice article! Speaking from experience one thing I'd add about prototyping is that you should really keep manufacturing - especially ease of assembly and your bill of material (BOM) costs in the back of your head during the whole proto
