There is Checkvist. Not as pretty, but more functional. I'd also love the ability to attach media and clips in workflowy as I use it for notes and research.

Geeks love to hate the TSA. I travel a LOT - all year - and I find the TSA to be professional and cordial in carrying out their job, more so than any similar agency I've dealt with in other countries. Some TSA policies are ridiculous, but h

Seems like promises (e.g. Q) use a other sort of error handling similar to domains, but win a cleaner syntax the addition of the promises functionality.

Glad to see this getting attention, but it really should be obvious to anyone in China. I wrote about it 4 years ago here: http://blog.stacktrace.com/2008/10/02/chinese-monitor-tom-sk...

The amendment should have been dropped. More importantly than what it disallowed, it allows Congress to authorize indefinite detention - "unless an Act of Congress expressly authorizes such detention." A bill that authorizes Congress to do

And that's why there is an investigation, not a trial. There is probably some indication of wrongdoing but insufficient evidence for prosecution. A verbal offer may be difficult to prove, but far from impossible if there were witnesses or s

They have some way of detecting long running ssh proxies. Your connection will degrade and then disconnect. No idea how they do it. For all I know, they break your key and figure out it's just a proxy. They've recently launched a major upgr

And NYTimes, Bloomberg, UK Telegraph, and many others. China actually blocks the services for many reasons other than just censorship. It's also a very effective method of protectionism. China now has its own thriving social networks - QQ,

SSH tunnels are detected and throttled in China. If you use a proper VPN, e.g. PPTP, you'll have much better luck. All of my traffic is routed through an ec2 instance, which unfortunately means I can't access stackoverflow or some other sit

I'm not sure you read me right. I think the investors would have a lot of difficulty establishing that they got a raw deal here given the incredible rate of return.

IANAL, however what the majority of shares vote for is not the same as what is in the best interest of shareholders. For instance, Zuckerberg controls Facebook. He can not decide to use all Facebook's cash as his own personal bonus. That is

Exactly. If there is evidence that Systrom did not act in the best interest of shareholders for personal gain, that would be a severe violation of is fiduciary responsibilities, and that would be the under the jurisdiction of the State of C

The best medicine for depression is to imagine you were not depressed, think of what you would do, then do it. Even if it doesn't feel quite right, keep moving. It is not always easy, but it is always the best way to move forward. Depressio

Verbal offers do count, regardless of whether the person handing the term sheet over had authority, Instagram was required to act in the reasonable interest of investors and find out if the offer had teeth. Avoiding "formal offers" by evadi

The board and executives work for the shareholders. They are required to maximize shareholder value, and taking a lower offer for personal gain is illegal. That is the concern here. That said, it's hard to have sympathy for investors in a c

Would you be less disappointed if they waited another month or two to release both together?

American citizens, unlike citizens of other countries, are taxed on their world-wide income - regardless of where or how they earn. Corporations have accumulated most of the advantages of being human, but avoided most disadvantages. There i

Indeed probability is only useful when there is uncertainty. When there is certainty, probability is nonsensical. While I think YC may be quite adept at choosing only people over 6'2", people in general are not very good at knowing if they

That rather shortsighted. All companies, as well as governments, eventually hit financial trouble, and some day fail. Google has shut down many services and "broke the internet" before - what they essentially did with Reader. Even if it tak

I don't think it's pointless to talk about median outcome. The median outcome or worse, by definition, is what most entrepreneurs will achieve, and as you say, that's likely zero even for YC companies who based on this data have an order of

That's correct, except most of the companies that have not exited never will (many have already failed,) and it would take quite a few 100M+ exits to significantly skew that average. Those assumptions could be wrong, but I don't think more

Most pertinent observation: there isn't much money in startups. The odds truly are horrendous. Even from YC, the average exit is only $2M. From other accelerators, the total of all exists is well below what most founders want for their own

What is so wrong with iCloud? It does exactly what I want it to do - back up my phone and sync my data between devices. Maybe people try to use it for more than this?

I think what most people observe as "raining" is when the ground is wet and the sky is overbearingly gray, looking like it will rain. From indoors, it's quite hard to determine if it is actually raining, and to most people there isn't much

I can't be the only one who stops reading articles when the entire first section is contorted self-congratulation? This is up there with The Next Web always vainly touting what they "told us" in the last article. Say something interesting.

That limits you to the United States Postal Service, since USPS does not accept packages from other carriers.

Why is Uber not headlining a political movement not to be regulated unnecessarily? I think most consumers don't want this regulatory interference, and many would probably be willing to participate in a movement to protect Uber and the like.

I'd guess there is some correlation with time spent on HN, times of access, comment rate, language usage, etc. HN may be one of the largest data sets on a candidate that YC has, so as big brotherly as it sounds, I can't imagine YC could res
