I appreciate the candid response. The age-old "ideas vs execution" argument is something that interests me, and I've always wanted to start projects that have a neat core concept, where they can potentially get off the ground quickly from w

It was mostly "friends or people who thought the idea was cool". The handful people who were most adamant about the idea were somewhat savvy Twitter users, so I envisioned others having the same passion for the idea.

Thanks for the advice- we should probably have this on the home page. The idea is that there's something specific that caused that emotion. When a number of people start posting an emotion about a certain thing, "Tim Tebow" for example, oth

The philosophy was that people use twitter to convey their rational conceptions of things (140 character explanation of their thoughts) while there was no medium for telling the world what you're feeling and why. Since people love posting t

Yes, this is finally happening. The fact that states like Nevada and California are pushing for intra-state legislation will probably make the federal government scurry to pass a bill (likely HR2366, which everyone speculated would pass by

Dropping out of University of San Francisco before my startup even launches next month. Spending all my money to pay a couple developers for the prototype and hoping all goes well. I am very confident.

I want to partner with a programmer in San Francisco who is willing to get paid to make my ideas become a reality, in order to justify my moving here last year.

I had a bad experience working with someone out of area (if you check my posting history here, you'll be able to find more information on the issue) and so I would greatly prefer working with someone in the bay area in order to meet in pers

Sorry about this. It looks like I can't edit it anymore. Mahmud helped me in the early stages, but was not the person I partnered with and has nothing to do with the issues. At this time I don't know how much information my alleged partner

It appears like I was unclear. Mahmud had nothing to do with this, and in fact was the one who gave me unconditional help in the early stages. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

I don't have a technical background; to someone like me this appears somewhat reputable. It appears I've paid for my ignorance.

Thanks for this. I'm young and was fortunate to make some money while young and foolish. This will be a good lesson.

I suppose I didn't consider why I wrote this post; but just knew I wanted to. Realizing 6 months of my life were based on a lie made me instinctively ask HN for help. As I think about it now, it probably was first and foremost what you desc

I basically told him that I don't understand anything about computers, and that I'd like some proof to appease my concerns. An easy way would be for him to send the money back, and since initially he had claimed to be very well-off, he cert

The crux of the whole internet privacy issue is this: will people be culturally conditioned to accept whatever privacy norm their society pushes on them, or is it ingrained in our nature to find only a certain level of privacy acceptable? I
