If you don't understand why this needs to be done, you're part of the problem. If you think romantic overtures as an investor to a founder is 'ok', or should be ok, you're part of the problem. EDIT: For those of yo

Will all the misogynist trolls still come out to play on this one given that it's a YC post?

Sure, but long term strategy at a 6 month old company is a year out. 2 years at best. 5 years is multiple lifetimes for most startups.

I don't think I could have answered that question at any startup I've ever worked at. And, certainly if I had, I would have been wrong in every case.

Posts like these remind me how many socially maladjusted misogynists exist on this site just waiting for stuff like this so they can throw their 2c in. It says right there that IAC confirmed he sent the messages. The rest of this honestly

It'd be interesting to see how Objective-C would compare to Swift with ARC enabled. For the majority of us, who use ARC in our projects, these benchmarks don't mean a whole lot.

I've seen that happen with Macbooks for years (the rainbow static), with both my mid 2012 retina MBP and the pre-retina one it replaced. Happens occasionally with my Dell monitor at home, and would happen with one of those knockoff IP

Because the title was: 'Single, female, non-tech founder with no team...and her first 1 million users' and HN thrives on drama and pointing out things that are inaccurate.

What's the plan for supporting altcoins, or is there one?

No, I don't think it's uncommon that incompetent assholes end up in positions of power and aren't pushed out.

This is what my exact thoughts were. That's why I struggled with Calculus, while I blew through Physics and high school 'math' with no real problems. I didn't need to care about the pedantry because it all just made sens

Have you ever used Expensify? They don't live up to their slogan.

Doing it any other way involves different tradeoffs of time, money, skill, and maybe lock-in risk. This is what you're paying for. The cost of that is the difference between hosting yourself on Amazon and what Heroku charges. That&

The price they're charging is their price minus the Amazon price. You are paying for a set of tools that sit on top of Amazon. You choose to either invest in those tools yourself (and save the the difference between Heroku and Amazon

Your code samples are incredibly hard to read, you should use a different library to generate those. I don't know if it's just a Chrome thing, but they look like this to me: http://imageshar.es/52cf03f8f629007c140

Uber exists, primarily, because the slick apps didn't work. Taxi Magic, for example, was out years before Uber. It failed because taxi drivers, frankly, don't give a shit about dispatch. They just pick someone else up on the wa

You're conflating leadership with management. While leaders will usually end up managing, and vice versa, these are all too often treated as one and the same role. Management is more about driving day to day goals and ensuring everyo

I don't think anyone was implying that you would expose this for every combination of columns, only the ones you were allowing people to query on. Presumably, you've indexed the fields you want people to be able to scope results
