Hey - I didn't have to provide anything but a CC number and I'm based in Europe. We don't have a huge account, how many boxes did you order?

Thats the entire point. Flickr is about photos. If Flickr was releasing new products and testing new things they might have landed on Flickstagram. But like OP said they didn't do much at all, and so missed the boat. So yes you're right, th

Great way to think about this. These kinds of problems can feel SO huge... until that first pay cheque hits. Then life becomes simple again Source: been there, lots

I'm desperately trying to think of a way that will make this not sound like I'm hating on you, but there are other smart people in this world. While I respect PG immeasurably I really do hope HN hasn't gotten to a point where we can thi

Hey - thought you might be interested in knowing there are lots of people at a total loss over on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1a8ygk/official_... Might be worth a post or two

Self-taught like you and by no means a coding genius (I can only really code Ruby/JS) - but I really enjoy Ruby's syntax, its super clean and simple. I think Python has a similar approach. Well written Ruby just reads like plan 'ol English.

I totally agree. I think loose "startups" for "service", though. Us as service creators and owners do to a certain degree have a level of responsibility to the users, I get the value exchange of users time/use <> us maintaining the

Why should a user know about a sites business model? To an average joe you letting me sign up and do stuff is all I know. While "giving a week" isn't a rule, it sure sounds like it might be the nicer thing to do. You spout your answer like

I think while you are right you have to bear in mind that what you have commented on is their position in the market . The co's you mention are at the top end of their market, if I'm honest I know very little about these companies, I don't

PG I love how you call the companies the "Octoparts" or the "Wufoos". Its a nice touch!

A bit late for what? Out of the major OS's MS is the largest, I'm writing this on a mac, and would loathe to have to use a PC but you have to appreciate that for most consumers when MS delivers something it is right on time. They (the con

That still isn't a point pal. Its an observation which frankly I don't even know if you're qualified to make. I know I certainly am not. He may have been just trying to make a guy feel better about a bad situation? Regardless, my point is

Was there a point to your comment? A rebuttal? A... anything? Fed up of people on HN just trying to be the smartest guy in the thread through odd means, disagreeing being one. The guy made a helpful contribution to the thread, don't give hi

Hey, what agscala says below is absolutely right. I tried it, but honestly, Sublime Text 2 is far superior. Even my Vim-core colleague to my right agrees. And thats saying something! Edit: Scrap that, rush-read - CntrlP doesn't beat Sublime
