I like to think that when I am rich and successful I'll wear jeans and T-shirts fulltime.

The HN community is often trying to be blunt and frank to give you the advice that they think you need. This is a community with many high-end programmers who probably look at your project and think that they could easily recreate it in les

It was cool reading about all your geeks so far. Go team Twilio. If I wasn't based in NZ and I wasn't working hard on my own startup I'd apply :)

http://your.gridspy.co.nz/powertech dulled substantially. Also, you don't support the CSS3 styling of the header text. The fonts look super aliased. Finally, you don't snap the rendered HTML to the nearest page, leading to a page containi

Woah. A 3rd party does your entire value add and yet your hack up your own?

I think that there is a different sort of "inflation" for starting a business. As time goes on technology gets cheaper and more available. Manufacturing becomes more automated, Just in Time stocking reduces capital requirements. Just becaus

However the costs to launch a business have also decreased in the mean time, as have the size of angel investments.

"OpenMP like support for the Cell Processor"? Where do I sign?

Indeed. The underling effect of volatile is that the compiler turns off certain optimisations to do with instruction reordering and aggressive caching in registers without stores. However in most places that a typical non-firmware, non-driv

You liar! ;)

I've been using C++ as my primary language for the last 10 years and know what virtual base classes are. I would never use them, Instead I'd avoid diamond inheritance at all costs. I'd rate myself as a 9 or 10 for language proficiency but p

You could always make a "like in vimeo" link appear after you like it in your app. Sweet app. Great portfolios.

That requires the infrastructure, storage and carbon to transport the bottles somewhere else to be refilled. In the end you still end up storing filled bottles on site.

I was actually thinking of a machine where you insert your bottle and a screen lowers. It then does a quick scan to confirm it is a bottle of the correct dimensions and weight. It lowers a rod into the bottle and steam-sterilises it. It bak

Hate the title. Agree 100% with your point. I always speak up - to a fault.

To strengthen your argument, you need to provide a machine that will wash and refill a coke bottle. Otherwise you are simply sending some glass to the landfill (lazy customers) and some to recycling.

Django can reverse-engineer models from your database schema extremely easily. Once that is done it is 30 minutes (perhaps 4 hours for a novice) configuration and you have a working django admin site against your Rails DB. This is how I sta

FCC approval is actually quite easy and affordable (less than 10k), as long as your equipment passes first time. The best way out is to buy a dongle or module from a 3rd party who has already got approval for it. If the RF module has approv
