Indeed, quality is highly subjective and relative to product available on the market. I have a personal hypothesis that most average smokers can't distinguish high quality vs medium quality. I'm not sure how practical it is to get users to

Oh yeah, I should mention I posted this on HN a little more than a week ago. Combined with Reddit, you guys helped us get close to 500 entries in a couple days. With the data and suggestions, we were able to map it out on googlemaps. We add

Yep, we haven't gotten around to filtering and cleaning up entries, but we'll definitely look to eliminate big outliers from our average calculations. A lot of people have been pointing on the same thing you've been pointing out lol. That's

These are technical skills and responsibilities I learned working alongside my programming partner. I still can't program anything functional on my own though. I have experiences relating to programming, but I still do not know how to code.

I don't think trying to learn Java is epic at all. Perhaps you misinterpreted my blog or took it for more than face value. I'm learning Java because I want to learn how to code. I'm not going to continue to completely rely on others to buil

That book looks awesome, will definitely look into it. On the plus side, I'm in the market for an Android phone, and it would be perfect to be able to hack things onto it right away.

I know building useful things is hard and I know it takes time. But I really don't know why that means I automatically have limited effective potential by factor X. It's as if your trying to intimidate me, and I don't know if you're smug or

Hey, to be fair, I googled "Java vs Javascript" before I wrote that. Here's what I read: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/347... That's why I put "apparently" :D

I think people want to learn modern languages because they want to be able to create things tomorrow if not today. It would probably be hugely valuable for me to go back and learn the languages I should have learned as a kid, but theres a s

So you don't think I'll learn enough to be able to build anything useful BECAUSE I'm a business guy? Or is there another reason you think I'll never be able to build anything useful? Fuel to the fire, thank you.

I want to clone/steal their ideas! But actually, their originality and novelty is what gets them popular in the first place. I think if I tried to copy AwesomeReminders today, I'd probably fail the way most people expected the original Awes

From the inside Quora doesn't look to be very big. Maybe its because I don't have a network within Quora, but browsing topics is kind of difficult. There doesn't seem to be much involvement outside of topics regarding Startups, Business, Te

Wow, 750 paying subscribers at a minimum of $10 = $7500/month for a total of 6.25 hours of work time (lets triple it to be conservative and take into account dialing/redialing/waiting). Thats a working wage of about $416/hour. I assume he h

Maybe if his friend was going to dump his life savings into the project, I could see it being pretty reasonable to try and stop him.

Fun article, I agree the same principles in the article can be applied to many skill based hobbies. The thing I love about Starcrack is how dynamic each game can be. The three races are so different and unique, yet balanced. There are so ma

This is so cool. My partner and I play at least an hour a day of 2v2 at the end of our work sessions. It'd be a lot of fun, AND cool to meet other startups. AND its hosted at Justin.tv! Damn you San Francisco, damn you. *We're not in SF :(

I think most people can at least tell the difference between good and bad quality. Average/medium is slightly harder, so it might be more useful to group medium with high. For the most part, the entries look accurate to me. I noticed a lot

I've never been in the situation you're in, so I can't say my advice is particularly worth much. But don't make important decisions based on emotion. Especially if you don't have something lined up (unless you're good for cash). In your des

The geoIP detection isn't perfect unfortunately, we use your IP and try to show the best guesses with the database we have. If you could tell me your location it would help in trying to improve it. Thanks
