The point of my first comment on this page is to think about noise in the size of the market for a given post. You probably just hit a "small market" blip. To get a sense of your fit w/ HN community, average over many submissions. Looking

1) Click through, read, upvote post. 2) Look at comments to see what HN denizens have said. See post is a duplicate. Upvote comment noting that. 3) Think to myself, "I should've checked comments before upvoting post." 4) Think to myself,

Yep, the small scale, low budget, homebrew work is more aligned with what I thought you meant by 'personal crackpottery'.

Nice gem from the 'Yegge-esque'ness: "Consider the delightful personal pleasures that crackpottery has to offer."

That feeling of something being rotten at the core, even it though looks okay to the external world, really sucks. I had it once, too. I looked up at the ceiling and asked myself, "What am I doing here?" I was out a few weeks later, and

Are you saying a services component helps, or hinders the sale? I could see it going either way, depending on the product and the customer.

I agree, I don't think it's likely, or practical. However, the ZipCar, the New Beetle, the Mini Cooper, the Honda Element -- these are all increasingly appliance-like vehicles. I think Apple's take on a consumer appliance car would be inte

My life involves hooking up various bits of image processing software into a semi-unbroken workflow that can scale to massive (10^5 pixels edge length) images. So I get lots of error messages at different times. I will try to remember this

I wonder if a cooler external economy might actually give a startup more time to stabilize its platform, find its market, etc. etc. before exiting. This might actually produce better startups, on average. (Here, "better" = chance of beco
