Build the best API you know how to build and ask questions later. If your business is doing well, then supporting your API forever is a high quality problem.

I'm a co-founder and chief architect at NewsCred. I'd love to have a chat with your friend. He can email me at asif AT newscred DOT com.

With absolutely no disrespect intended, "you have to try it to get it" isn't a very compelling pitch to get a potential user on board. There are just too many things out there that one could try. There must be a way that you could describ

What would the alternative be? Require all students to pay their own way, thereby disincentivizing parents to work hard and save for their children's college education? On the other hand, there are a lot of intangible benefits to be had by

I'm at a loss for words. Thinking back about Dan and the three months we spent together in YC, there were so many things this guy did right. Both as an entrepreneur and a human being, he was a role model for me. The world is truly a poor

I agree. I think it is the natural place to have a to-do list. I also don't really like the Remember the Milk add-on. I usually don't think of to-dos as thing that are associated with a particular day. They are just a laundry list of things

Disagree. There are certain industry where the argument holds true; investment banking for example (you're likely a sucker if the only way an investment bank will give you an internship is if you work for free). But there must be some ind

Whatever you guys are making, if it kicks ass, nobody will care about this nonsense. You certainly have the attention of the HN community now, so don't waste it. It's time to stop fucking up.

We've been using yahoo for 5 or 6 years now and we're just used to it. I think it costs about $10/season and given how seriously we take this thing, it doesn't feel like a lot of money. Incidentally, we tried to run a league on fleaflicker

I'm not sure what I would do, but I know what Jack Bauer would do. He would eat the pirates.

Ha. Thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps I instinctively avoid blanket generalizations so as to avoid the criticism that I am currently unleashing on this article.

I concede that HN is not the place to solicit legal advice. The level of trust that I was referring to most likely does not exist between users of this site. Nonetheless, I believe it is incorrect to state that one would be putting one's s

I can't seem to get this thing to figure out where I'm actually looking. Isn't that the point of "eye-tracking"? It is pretty good at figuring out where my eyes are located on my face, but that isn't very valuable information. Has anyone

Black and white statements such as this are almost always wrong. While I would never trust a non-lawyer's legal advice over a lawyer's legal advice, there could certainly exist a person in the world whom I trust more than any given lawyer,

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to claim that it was easy to make a truly well-functioning search engine (i.e. Google). More that it's pretty easy to index a bunch of pages and return non-relevant results. While scaling is not a trivial problem,

Perhaps my sarcasm was not communicated properly. In any case, I'll pass on this one.

It's not very difficult to make a functional search engine. With the amount of resources cuil had, all you would have to do is provision a few thousand servers and deploy a nutch cluster on them. Then you pair random images with random sea

We're certainly beating a dead horse here, but I just can't get over how bad it is. I keep trying different searches and I keep getting astonished at how off the results are. Did they run any test queries at all? I'm calling conspiracy o

The broad generalizations in Dewar's opinions are unhelpful. If you want to write software for military airplanes, then you should go ahead and learn Ada (whatever that is). If you want to build applications for the web or for "low-tech"
