As a startup, owning hardware (or, sometimes, leasing) tends to eat up on your balance sheet really quickly as a cap ex (capital expenditure). You're immediately spending money and taking runway off the table and turning it into illiquid as

what if the destination/shipping is different to the billing, or where you buy it from? Using geoip here is mostly irrelevant and incredibly dangerous if you want to get a strong opinion of who your customers actually are, as opposed to whe

It's a shame that the Times couldn't get a peer or well, someone who knows technology to write this obit: "Three of his major contributions were known as LCF, ML and CCS. LCF — or Logic for Computable Functions — was a reasoning tool that h

very interesting story- loved the blog, but please refrain from using 'twatting' and 'flicking'. If you must, use 'tweeting'. 'twat' has negative connotations in many places, and flicking is just lame. :)

Right. Plus many carriers store luggage in 'cartons' - metal containers with the bags stacked inside. These are put on with a special forklift thing. Essentially offloading all of these can happen fast. If you are being super smart, you can

Enjoy paying for your bathroom break. Have you considered what ryanair do with the hold space that they don't fill up with pax baggage?

a good deal of express packages travel in the airplanes you fly on too - UPS, Fedex et al frequently buy cartons of luggage to stick on commercial passenger routes. So it's entirely possible your luggage would get there in the same plane yo

Jason- You've got a few issues here. I'm only buying it because you're on HN, otherwise i'd have run away, but: - Your paypal integration is busted. I can't complete checkout. - Your billing page seems to still display http - i know you're

There's some validity in a company sueing an employee because they're not getting enough sleep to perform appropriately at work. However, this is normally cause for warnings + termination. It's unusual for a company to link this with potent

there's no earthly way that the employer has any rights over your work in this manner, assuming you can prove it's never opened during business hours. They may, however, have a claim against you for the cost of the electricity. :)

You really don't need the apple store to distribute apps. with a small handful of people, it's easy to get their uids and build the app for them.

Joel, if you need to use a 'day care' to facilitate looking after a dog, you shouldn't have gotten him in the first place. Sorry, but that's not how it works.

I agree about the murky definition of toxic: you're talking about mark to market, something all the banks refused to do, till the treasury + fed told them to start doing it, stat. But this is just one part of it; certainly the balance sheet

A good point. My gut tells me these people haven't truly gotten it yet. It doesn't take much to go, "hmm, i wonder if any other part of my application might be vulnerable" and these people certainly haven't done that.

Lovely to know they aren't smart enough to check their other urls: http://www.mythaichicago.com/menu.asp?locationid=000004%20OR... also, the site was built with dreamweaver. Telltale JS markers. Makes me think it's a web agency/ad agency

Just to add a note here: I have worked for Pitchfork Media previously. As a client, they were always the most awesome people to work for: Ryan and his team completely get the web and how it works, and don't step on people's toes, rather jus

Yeah, but you typically need other user data to validate their banking. Obviously it's good that people aren't grabbing the data, but lets be honest here: there is still a class of people who don't really know how to protect themselves onli

This is cute. I like the tenacity of what you're doing here. Thing is, it's entirely impossible. To start a bank you need capital to leverage your deposits. That's anything from 10-30%, so to have a liability of $1000 you'll need $300 in c
