It really depends. Generally, once big money is involved (500k ), you should both be full time. I totally understand where you're coming from. Full-time co-founder here with my counterpart having a full time job (a resident physician a

Agree with this. Brand is a big advantage in public perception and it's easier for top-school grads to get coveted meetings/intros since they are part of the "family." But at the end of the day, all that matters is the q

Kudos to Drew. Dropbox is simply a great product and that's why it's such a great success. I've tried so many different cloud-based storage services throughout the years and nothing really comes close in terms of ease-of-use,

Well said. It's original thinking like this that moves us forward as a human race. And in order to move forward, you have to take huge risks, face uncertainty and do whatever you can to prove everyone wrong.

This is an awesome idea of course. It's a glimpse into the future. I remember tweeting with Chris Anderson of 3D Robotics about a year ago about autonomous package delivery from A > B. I'm sure Bezos and team started nerding ou

Very kind gesture, Matt. I'm sure you will meet some great people this way and have some interesting stories to share down the road! Happy thanksgiving to everyone.

Great research from IBM here. Antibiotic resistance is a prevalent problem in our society today, with doctors prescribing antibiotics to everyone for everything (to no fault of their own - because of patient demand). Nanotechnology combinin

This is just wonderful. On so many levels. Steve Jobs is smiling down from wherever he might be. As we all are. And wow, comments on HN that all agree with each other. No bashing. No hate. What a wonderful thing. Beautiful

Increasing complexity is not what's concerning here. Being able to adjust the ride height of your car (air suspension) is not that uncommon. My current vehicle has adjustable air ride suspension for city/highway. It automatically

Another vote for Synology here. Have been using them for a good 6 years now. I think I might have had one of the first DSM setups. Just solid NAS products. Upgraded recently to the DS213 and the WD RED 3TB disks in RAID-1. Running all sort

Couldn't agree more. 10 products launching on HN today to solve convenience issues so you can pay for your $7 croissant and decaf soy milk latte with vegan cinnamon and not be forced to carry around 4 credit cards. Good god.

Without a doubt. Coin actually increases the complexity of an already complex and archaic system. The product manages to create more headaches for the consumer and the merchant by consolidating various credit cards in a digital device with

Absolutely not. The old crusty layer is everything you don't see running in the background. The banks, the payment systems, the clearing houses, the entire system as a whole.

As someone who's been actively involved in engineering Bluetooth LE devices, believe me, with constant daily usage, it will NOT last 2 years. There are so many factors involved with BLE, not just limited to usage, but with respect to r

I understand what randomizing a number means. But this doesn't answer the question of how the terminal/processing system knows it's your account being debited? The whole concept of randomization with payments (or anything for

We are all deeply moved by the future of bar tabs not holding credit cards :) In all seriousness, most bars hold a CC and ID for a tab.

Very good point. Add another item to the list of problems.

You're missing the point here. It's about losing all of your cards when you lose one. And most people aren't going to spend money ($100) on one - yet alone TWO - cards vs. the free cards they get from their banks 24/7. I

Match? How? With OCR and image processing? Currently, one assumes you can take a picture of any card and store it for visual purposes. There's zero explanation of how they authenticate a physical card (photo) with the swipe data.

Absolutely. Not only this but they're entire FAQ is vague and doesn't offer any concrete answers whatsoever. It's a half ass job. Surprised (sort of) that this is a YC company with all the vetting, mentoring, perfecting and w

I like this randomized credit card numbers idea but I don't understand how it would work? How would the terminal know it's debiting your account? Where would the authentication take place? Where would the randomization take place?

You wouldn't. You actually increase the chances of fraud/loss/theft/errors with Coin. It creates more problems than it solves (which is unfortunate, since it does have the "cool" factor going for it) That only

Apparently, you don't seem to understand that this is how things works in the United States, where this product is intended for sale. Perhaps learn/read about how the payments process with respect to credit card transactions and c

It's a neat concept, but I just don't think this gets anywhere. Dead in the water - as much as I would personally like to see them succeed. The biggest problems here are security. () Merchants will hate it since there is no physic
