As a long time user who profited from their first free download promotion, I have been wondering how the hell whatsapp can remain profitable for many years to come. Moving to .99 cents/year sounds great, but expect a massive user exodus. Ma

This is a pretty cool solution; although I am getting a LOT of false positives. Could that have something to do with my hand-tagged MP3s? (shameless plug) I made a new album notification tool for Last.FM focused on easily excluding non-impo

About half a year back, I was at some pitching contest where Steve Blank was a judge. He was bluntly clear about his point of view: Think of a product; ask a hundred potential customers whether they'd buy that product. If not, discard and r

Errr... SendGrid is $9.95 for 40k emails. You get 200 for free, just as with mailgun. My guess is they'll integrate both products after which Mailgun and SendGrid will become largely equivalent services.

Why aren't security experts and hackers mixing and matching the characters that make up the password? I.e. instead of super!!!think3rs, try Supr3Think0rz. Is the added required processing too large of a trade off?

Completely fill your schedule and have a to-do list for when you have some spare time. As long as you have stuff to do and those things are the right thing, trust that you have done enough.

It is a delight to read about some of the soft, real life aspects of a startup. Thanks for sharing this with the world. Note: I wish that link to the scratch cat did not result in a 404.

This phenomenon is disgusting. Happened to me for a thirteen-letter domain name with fairly low search popularity. I presumed this was one of the reasons why Godaddy is considered evil. Nowadays the domain is parked @ domainbrokers.com If a

Oh, high school and the semi-malicious innocent things you do. If only the IT department was more competent and didn't leave everything open. Perhaps instead of playing Quake all day, some of us would have gotten into real hacking a lot ear

Thanks for the positive feedback :) I do have reservations about going after international and hyper-local markets at the same time. International + hyper-local is more of an end goal than the begin stage. See http://news.ycombinator.com

Also, it seems like a relatively significant commitment from a person who signed up because you're asking them to upload three pictures of themselves in the t-shirt (for either another free t-shirt or "credit"). The system I intend to imp

3 different advertisers requires mass customization => extra overhead. You'll get to choose advertiser + t-shirt combos; not sure if added flexibility will make up for the increase in price, but I'll keep it in mind!
