The left side drawer in Twitter and Sparrow is amazing. Like it should have always been there.

Where do you see the UI? I only see a damn LaunchRock page.

You don't want to use price to earnings for a company in a growth phase like this. The reason is that they are likely spending their revenue to grow the business (in the simplest example, buying more servers and staffing up).

I think what makes Facebook above average is that at IPO they are looking better than Google did at IPO. I think we can all agree Google is above average. 1) Current P/E is 74 (Google IPOed at 132 and was proven to be undervalued). 2) Faceb

The same philosophy holds true for SMS notifications. We (Bizen.com) send SMS notifications to our customers. If they respond to the SMS, it is directed to their account manager.

Related: LinkedIn has a P/E of over 600 today. It makes Facebook's 100 seem almost conservative.

tldr; Once you have substantial passive income, you will not want a job working for someone else. How did this long, uninformative dribble make it to the front page?

I want that too. In fact, on my todo list is to research the other database providers for Heroku to see if any of them offer this capability.

The post is from December 2010 with no follow-up. It was likely a joke. HN got trolled.

Those reasons are spot on. Also errors are difficult to track down and spreadsheets have horrible code re-use.

Editing complex functions in a spreadsheet is an absolute nightmare though. AS long as he doesn't recreate that part we are good :)

75mm shares at a 175mm valuation means a share price of $2.33. Shouldn't the strike price be at the current valuation?

If this thing gets good open rates, advertising is a very viable option. It sounds like they have a delay from when the email is submitted until they send it out. I would think that is enough time to find a relevant sponsor for the topic at

My 13" MBA is the absolute best computer I have ever owned (and I have been using laptops daily for 15 years).

Simpler solution: Add MBA with 15" screen. Retina display only on MBP models. Nice stair step pricing and less confusing overlap. Either slimmer and lighter or faster and better graphics. No 11" MBP because people demanding nice graphics wa

StartupWeekend is not the best place to really start a company. I know it has been done (and I have done it myself). Go have fun at StartupWeekend and if you find some people you like working with then do a real startup with them later.

An upvote doesn't do this comment justice. I am going to store that quote for later. The purpose of a corporation is to make money for the shareholders.

Two more problems with the model: 1) Groupon taks a large cut on top of the big discount. It used to be that GroupOn wanted a 50% discount and then 50% of the revenue. This is like running a 75% off sale. 2) The customers are poorly-qualifi

I am not knowledgeable enough to know whether or not a business is viable just from looking in the storefront. Though I would argue that as the owner of two retail locations, I am probably better equipped to make that judgement than most. I

That is crazy talk. The rate for small businesses as a whole is around 50% failure within the first 5 years. There are exceptions to that rule and ways to increase the odds. As an example, 90% of franchise businesses are still running after

I primarily use OS X, but I do have a Windows machine that I use for some development. My reason is not in your list: I need to create Windows executables and installers as part of our product and don't know of a way to do that on OS X. If

I use Doppler on my iPhone and my iPad to do things like run rake tasks, view logs, and use the console. My only complaint with Doppler has been that it doesn't recognize newly added rake tasks.

Sure. But on a first run after the upgrade it is too late too. These are all apps that we're running earlier in the day. It's beta software and probably won't be released like that.
