I've enjoyed using BigCommerce... I was able to design a site that bore almost no resemblance to their default design. Most e-commerce systems start with a terrible interface and make you go through hell to improve it. BigCommerce certainly

Are there typically ancillary events planned before/after? If accepted I'll be flying some distance to attend, and would love the chance at more time for conversation with the like-minded.

I'm a Canadian dev/designer in Colombia for six weeks or so, and my trip just happened to coincide with this conference so I signed up. I recently left my last company and am now focused on (1) improving my programming skills and (2) meetin

What's wrong with a single individual presenting a well-conceived, poignant, in-vivo essay about the topic they are the best person in the world to explain? I have yet to meet a crowd or committee that can tell a coherent story. One-to-many

"that’s not an argument at all! It’s a blind assertion based only on my own experience" And this is a problem, making assertions/arguments based on direct experience?

Yet I think it serves two useful purposes. (1) Demonstrates commercial potential via inspiring example, (2) Defines an end result clearly enough to become an engineering problem. This may be enough to attract corollary (1) capital / institu

I think it´s a substantial omission, not worth the value of being ´succinct´. Saying that ¨people who don’t write, are people who don’t think¨ is an insult to anybody who expresses their thought in music, social interaction, design, in-the-

What a fascinating read. Thank you for the pointers. Oracle Night will be the first book I buy for my new Kindle, which arrives in Buenos Aires on Friday. Speaking of which, the international Kindle makes dramatic, life-altering geographic

I agree, and I just sent him a note myself. I don't know about the rest of you but I've certainly experienced shit myself ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=69097 ), and it helped me when people empathized.

You are most welcome. It is difficult (though not impossible, my life hasn't been without blemish) to imagine what it must be like to have a prognosis like yours. I admire everything you are doing to combat it.

5% reality, 95% dramatization. It's not hard to disappear if nobody is looking, and in this case the "search" was an artifice created by WIRED. However, it's entertaining nonetheless. I've "disappeared" a few times simply going about my bus

This summer I met another guy who had chordoma, Josh Sommer. He's done a lot of amazing work helping to spark more research into the disease. Your page was the last kick in the pants I needed to look up a fundraising email he'd sent me awhi

I don't own a TV and after a month with an iPhone, I passed it off to a co-worker and bought a $15 phone off Craiglist. When I'm not on the computer I want to be fully enjoying the people I'm with, the mountain I'm hiking or the book I'm ab

Interesting: "A host of studies show that people with stronger training in economics are more self-seeking, less charitable, and more corruptible than people trained in other subjects."

In what way is the speaker out-of-touch? He has personally overseen circulation improvements of ~ 30 - 100% in the newspapers he has redesigned. "Design" in this sense goes far beyond "graphic embellishment" and is actually about changing t

This is another reason why I hated undergrad education. You have a bunch of teachers positioned as "experts," and they ask you to accept counter-intuitive statements under extreme time pressure and the threat of not passing the class. The m

Yeah, I could see that being useful. My current laptop is maxed out at 2 gigs of RAM so I have to buy another one anyway to handle large-format design work. Maybe having both laptops with me will be good enough. Still, looking at how thin a

This comment reminds me of people who complain about the design of Hacker News, and miss the point entirely. Plenty of fish has a large and growing user community. I know of more people (personally) who have met dates on POF than any other
