If internal politics is the major reason for the acquisition not going through, then your product must be good enough to attract other bigcos. Seems like the progress you had with the acquisition talks would also be a selling point to VCs w

For updating data, the simplest (not most elegant) way to do it would be to just re-render the whole thing on data change You are right that it is the simplest way to deal with updating data. But one of the nice parts of D3 is the built in

True. You're much more likely to apply data management fundamentals in a project than optimize impala queries on petabytes of user data. If you're a 10-50 person startup...maybe even a 200 person startup, what core/critical i

Yeah remember that turning a profit means you pay taxes as a corporation. Growing companies with lots of revenues will, in many cases, take a loss since they are investing that money into their own growth instead of making some profit and t

This was kind of a bad earnings quarter for many companies. Facebook and Apple both beat revenue targets, but some other data such as margins (for apple) and popularity with teens spooked investors. My guess is after 6 months of steady grow

? Why would a company pay tens of millions to the government when they can either report that same money as profit or invest it back into their company? A company like Twitter would not lose talent by having their headquarters in one of the

These are the type of posts I come to hacker news for (sorry meteor evangelists and NSA watchdogs). I'd also like to recommend the Spark Streaming Paper[0] for people interested in real-time distributed architectures. 0: http:/&#

With all that cash, apple should buy something..I thought it was idiotic that they didn't buy waze. It would've been the second wind their maps app needed. They seem to be totally aloof to the fact that most of their in-house soft

That's surprising to me. I expected their margins to improve given that they always sell the year-old generation and the 5c is cheaper to produce than the 5. I wonder how terrible their margins would've been if they didn't do

Can anyone here comment on atlassian's stash vs github's enterprise offering? It seems nice to have jira integration while github is clearly very popular in the open source world.

I'm surprised there's no mention of macports...by the way, did anyone else download mavericks to see that macports is broken?

I think the author is saying that women have to put in the effort and act on what they want long before men do if they don't want any sort of repercussions. A man can just play the field and focus on his career until his mid 30s withou

I'd like to use this opportunity to vent my frustrations using cubism.js. I love d3 and I love the idea of cubism. But doing a real-time cubism vis with custom data sources was a painful task. Not sure if it would be less painful than

I think this is interesting because this may represent a pullback in the social/mobile consumer space from an investment standpoint. Path is a VC darling given that it raised over $40 million from the likes of KPCB (a firm that also me

I've used Asana and Atlassian's jira. Jira is far and away easier to use and has much better control. It's always clear to me which issues I need to work on first and which versions of the product they'll impact.

I think part of debugging large, complicated software is shipping it to customers and continually releasing updates. There's no way you can catch every bug a user could possibly run into without releasing...

That really depends on the company. I see a lot of instances (in SV) where the executive team mostly cares about the technology and product and tunes the business side accordingly.

It's pretty significant when a top player does a 'me too' product. For one, amazon is providing more validation AND competition to the login and payment infrastructure area. I'm sure many entrepreneurial devs will find t

Can anyone recommend good websites for recruiting developers? My company used stack overflow before with no success. Craiglist and hn's who's hiring were better. It seems like hacker news is the best place to go at this point ;)

I'm not too familiar with the landscape but I'm seeing some IPOs valued at $3-4b from companies that are generating about $100m in revenues. 5 years ago those same companies would be a <$1b acquisition.
