He casually nested two "col-lg-6" within a "col-lg-9" Isn't that a bit of big change? In the past, I don't think we could get two equal size cols filling up a 9.

Cool. Dropbox seems to be pushing hard to become the goto for email attachments. If Mailbox doesn't win, they'll still have market share with Yahoo. Mostly surprised Yahoo would do this - I can't imagine we'll be seeing a similar deal wit

Would love to get some dialog going about better ways to accomplish this, any thoughts?

In Boston they started putting advertisements on the sides of the machines...any other cities seen this? I wonder how much additional revenue it drives.

Hey Keith, Thanks for your note, would you mind dropping me an email (my address is in my profile)? I'd love to have a brief chat about your experience and hopefully avoid any obvious mistakes, we're in the midst of making early decisions

For the sake of argument, how is this different from self funding? Ramen profitable isn't profitable, and not taking seed is just preventing you from paying yourself.

I'm working on an OS with a hybrid approach: http://www.projectmeadow.com (The site isn't as fine tuned as I'd like yet...but interested in your thoughts. Thanks!)

Happy to see you got PHP running, I imagine the next step is a Wordpress Plugin to handle it automatically. I suspect that you'll frequently need to fallback to the socket approach. I imagine a lot of shared hosts block the capability to r

Fun fact: The core of AutoSyringe and his dialysis pumps was delivering super precise dosages of medication. DEKA applied that same technology to the new Freestyle Coke machine (delivering super precise amounts of soda concentrate), in ret

Out of interest, are you from NJ (or another full-service state)? I noticed this a lot in NJ but not in Massachusetts. I think it's because in MA I have to go inside to pay cash, which is a much bigger hassle than simply putting my credit

This is one of the more mindboggling snippets of CSS you'll ever see. It's up there with techniques that keep two columns the same height without using Javascript or a <table> element. I've implemented this before, but still wouldn

position: fixed is if you actually want the footer to always be visible, with the main body content scrolling out from under it. To my knowledge, this works across all devices. The goal of this snippet is to have the footer always below th

I will never understand reliance on Github for screening applicants. Here, the people that need a hacker probably have no idea what to look for in a Github account.

"You should be doing that anyway." A huge selling point of Rails, other web frameworks, and ORMs in general, is that you don't have to be doing these checks. You can push the query through without concern of SQL injection, and handle the f

I find it interesting that this was in the same class as Filepicker.io Is cloud-based file selection something that should be offered by a web developer, or by the OS?

His reach is right up there with Fred Wilson IMO. He's a well respected guy in the entrepreneur/investment community. He also always answers his wife's phone calls, even in the middle of talks.

It'll be interesting to see how the mindshare arrangement plays out. VC's are used to writing huge checks and providing value after a company has solved product-market fit. This asks them to write a tiny check and provide very early expert

Less than two weeks ago, this scathing comment showed up on HN about BalancedPayments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4744982 Did Balanced ever respond? The comments here about the founders are quite opposite.

Hmm, still seems kinda messy to rely on CSS. Next thought, maybe you can override Google's open method with something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/Z3Ysq/ They may have been able to prevent this with a closure, but I think you could work

I'm not very familiar with Chrome development, but it seems like you have pretty strong capabilities. Why couldn't bind to the click event on the Compose button?

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another OTA scoop up Hipmunk soon while it's (relatively) cheap.

In recent times, Kayak has been shifting to push customers directly to airlines and hotels, instead of pushing them through online travel agencies like Priceline. I suspect this is Priceline admitting that it (and other OTAs) are losing rel

I've quoted it before as well, not at all surprised to see it again. You should buy and read the book. Unlike most times people tell you to read a book, it'll actually only take 10 minutes.
