As a nation with an army, they could do something like this. As a private company--especially if this mineral becomes very necessary and expensive--would be a very big target for some sort of 'congressional oversight' to 'protect national i

Hi everyone, One of the curebit cofounders here. We spoke with the artist as soon as we got his message and began discussion to get the music licensed on Sunday. (Its possible Jolie O'Dell had some stale news as it was posted monday). As of

There are companies like Hyperink www.hyperink.com who will partner with experts and help them publish (and write) the book in return for a revenue split. I think its a great place for people who have some expertise to contribute, but don't

as an investor, i do wonder "if its working well consistently, why wouldn't they keep it a secret?" So that makes me immediately suspicious as to why I'd want to use it if it wasn't working well enough for you to use yourself. Just curious

For the most part, I don't even think you need 18.01. 02 or 03. there may be a few applications in 18.06 that you miss out on but it wont' be a big deal.

How do you avoid a deflationary spiral (same issue as gold standard)? You can kind of get around it by continuing below 8 decimal places but it seems like a potentially fatal issue as the bitcoin economy expands.

I think it is about whether the identity of the HN community remains in tact. HN can survive as long as the identity (even if it morphs) remains something specific and associable. Reddit, for example still has a distinct identity/culture ev

I was looking for a cofounder for a year or so after my last company was acquired and found Founderdating incredibly useful. Everyone there was very high caliber and I ended up starting a company w/ two guys I met there. I always recommend

A really good way is to make sure you are using a system where you are only paying for new sales. For example, you can do something like: "Get $10 back if your friend makes a purchase using this $10 coupon." That way you aren't paying out

Its not a downside as much as just something to think about, but: In a double sided referral (especially when giving money) you are splitting the discount between two people. This can mean that the new customer gets less of a discount. If y

Very awesome list. I'd also add a few others: - Generally, larger companies can't move as quickly as you can so don't be too scared when they say "We can just have a team do this in the next few years." Politics, headcount, a bulky codebase

One person its great for is Google. I bet they save a bunch of cpu resources by 'directing' people to the right search queries (which are cached) instead of dealing w/ misspellings and running searches that the user doesn't really want anyw

I would recommend getting 'novice' defined for this tourney... reading through this thread it is apparent that people have wildly differing views on what novice is. Would hate to enter as real novice (beat cpu on normal) and be up against g

You should ping HDStarcraft to see if he wants to cast. He lives in the bay area. So does Trump, if you want to do a showmatch vs a progamer. He is ranked 159 or so in the world right now....and lives near Cupertino I think What is novice?

you could probably stop that by saying small businesses owned by corporations can't claim this deduction. you could say over 3/4 of the corporation must be owned by individuals or it doesn't qualify.

They are providing valuable liquidity to our financial markets. Is it too much to ask that they be rewarded for their contribution to society. Seriously, this is the most ingenious thing I have seen in a while.

slightly inaccurate. The dividends tax is the same as the capital gains tax in the sense that they are both applied only once at the shareholder level. so unless i have something wrong, its a double tax. not a triple tax. (corp tax + cap ga
