Thanks for the input. I've thought about unbounce, but as you guessed, I'm a little reluctant to share the idea. The barrier to entry is fairly low. Success will depend on the domain name (which I have) and the relationships with certain

The quora links are great. Thanks, man. I'm a young attorney. While I'd say I'm among the more tech savy attorneys around, that's not saying much in the HN community. While I have plenty of money to get a site designed/developed, and mon

Ask HN: I have a good idea. Now what?

It may be that you have your starting point wrong. As I understand it, all speech is protected, except for "certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech." Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire. Obscenity is one such class; speech cr

It is certainly true that the First Amendment is not as broad as popularly conceived. Be that as it may, I don't think it would take a great stretch to characterize high resolution images of Israel as political speech. I'm not a First Amen

Does this strike anyone else as little more than a shallow skin for Windows 7? HTML5 and javascript? How is this different than my browser? Apps in Windows 8 . . . kind of like apps in Chrome?

The desktop setup was just an example, and you're right that we could rotate any screen, as long as the horizontal resolution (vertical resolution at 0 degrees) is at least 1024. In the laptop world (per the article), it's difficult to do p

Yes. Why will nobody listen to these complaints? Reiterating the point I made above, this is a big issue for me. Lawyers don't need horizontal resolution. They need vertical resolution. Hell, almost every lawyer in my office (a few hun

Though I believe it's been covered here before, and a little off topic, I totally agree that screen proportion is another huge issue. It's for this reason that I can't bring myself to upgrade my Lenovo X61t. A 4:3 1440x1050 12.1" screen is

I suspect Lustig knows that (notwithstanding the fact he says something similar in his lecture, and Taubes repeats it), but decided it's not important for his thesis. Or, at the very least, he doesn't want to wade into the sucrose/HFCS deb

I'm saddened that HN is degrading into Digg.

This strikes me as an article written for people who don't have money as a means to explain why they don't have money (pretending money would just make them miserable). I'm reminded of the Norman Maclean passage about fishermen (and their

FWIW, Cloudberry to Amazon S3 works nicely, and super cheap (I guess this is relative -- ~9 cents per GB). I believe Jungledisk does something similar. Of course, S3 is unlimited too, but the pricing model is different. With multi-part up

To the contrary, anyone who's seen a herd of bulls when the cows are in heat knows there's a big difference between boys and girls -- and that the difference is principally nature, not nurture. Testosterone is powerful stuff.

I think it's a question of relative expectations. If we expected people to pay for their own retirement, college, health care, then these people would not be considered "rich." They'd be considered responsible. The sorry truth is that when

Anyone else find it . . . interesting that the article totally outs the guy's identity? (I almost put "troubling," but I guess I'm not all that troubled by it)

While Mint is a great name, I totally agree that the difference was execution. Several years ago I tried Wesabe, Mint, Quicken, MS Money (which, IIRC, used yodlee), as well as Yodlee's site itself. I went with Mint because it just worked.

That may be, but I think most would agree that law-abiders should not be, ipso facto, barred from activity that is not necessarily immoral/unethical/bad/evil.
