If anyone wants to learn AngularJS, I highly recommend Thinkster.io, which launched just recently: http://www.thinkster.io/ I've used it and found their way of breaking it into steps really helpful.

It's interesting that you point this out. I have always felt that way about investors: I would much rather have a fast "no" than an indefinite answer indefinitely. For that reason, whenever my friends give me a pitch deck and

In other words, just text/e-mail/call/talk quietly to yourself. (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the jab, and I fully accept all down votes that come to me on this one)

The lawsuit you're referring to is Jewel v. NSA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_v._NSA ) under Jeffrey White. I found it interesting that White initially shut down the ISP mirroring Wikileaks, and later reverse

The sad reality is that you cannot prevent all terrorism from ever happening, but if you can "play back" a person's interaction with foreign agents you can use that to bootstrap intelligence seeding on that foreign agents ot

I personally won't be happy until I see all fiber splitters installed by the NSA completely removed (such as the one at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco). Move it back to San Luis Obispo. I liked the reference to The Spy Factory ( ht

False dichotomy. To support privacy and an American whistleblower does not mean you're supporting a war or any type of foreign conflict simultaneously. Nobody here is supporting a war or encouraging conflict. We support transparency an

From the article you linked to: "With the latest revelations just days – in some cases, hours – old, it’s too soon to know for sure." I think it's still too early and I'd wait until all the facts are out. I can't sp

I was just thinking about this today. Funny enough, the stuff HN says usually comes up when I talk to people while I'm out or talking to customers. They have the same concerns, but HN will just tell you up front, whereas most people just wo

Sure, there could be some mistakes but we find out every time it happens and we make effort to prevent it in the first place. On dating sites where there's no identity, you can go out and be creepy or misbehave all you want and you'll never

Thank you. I think some people's concerns are valid. There's a quote that I really like: "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." - Eli Wiesel In other words, we'd rather have people pissed off or uncertain about something tha

If you live close to a major city (SF, NYC, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami, Seattle) we can do it. If you don't, I would suggest waiting until we grow the user base out more.

It'd be a false dichotomy if you said "people who are too busy to date are too busy for falling in love" or something similar. People are busy and online dating eats up more time than any other type of application, including social networki

We're not saying you have to drink something alcoholic, we're just saying whatever beverage you choose to drink, we'll cover it. Think of the bar as a neutral place in public to meet up. Our focus is on reducing all effort that goes into me

Good questions. - If we can't setup a match, you are either being unrealistic with your expectations (you consistently pass too often on people who we think are a good fit), or we just don't have enough people in the pool who are in your pr

I think cell phones are fairly easy to replicate (prepaid), but they'd be a moderately decent proxy for identity. It'd be very difficult to get a fake FB account through our matchmakers. You not only need to trick Facebook (the company) int

Dan's awesome. If you're serious about this, shoot an e-mail to me -> jared at wednesdaynight.me and I'll introduce you to him.

Interesting. Thanks, we'll try to explain that better up front.

We haven't worked with any venues or had any dates in Canada. We're primarily focused in SF, LA, Chicago, and NYC. Sorry about that. Hope we can add support for you soon.

We have people who don't drink using the service and they order non-alcoholic drinks at the venue--sometimes they're bars, sometimes lounges. Alcohol does act as a pretty good social lubricant though. The girls actually prefer that to extra

We've setup drinks for people through our own personal networks (one or two degrees away from the matchmaker), and they've gone well. We use a variety of options, but our philosophy is: we don't care where we find a match, as long as they'r

I've been on a few Groupers. The reason they ask you to bring friends is because they're setting you up on a blind date. If the blind date goes bad and there's no chemistry, your friends act as a hedge against having a bad night. Sure, the

We never started with the thought "why don't we use FB to build a dating site." Facebook is simply a means to solve a lot of different problems that come up in dating, and it ends up providing a better experience. That's all we care about.

Most dating services allow you to join using any e-mail address, but with that comes a lot of problems such as fake accounts, spam, data mining, creepy behavior because of anonymity, no real ability to ban someone, etc. Using Facebook solve

I think it'd be more interesting next time if we not just arbitrarily pick the top 4 stories from HN sorted by points (because that's not always a good indication of the most interesting stuff). Maybe we'll just pick our personal favorites.

Haha yep. It's above Rudy's in Palo Alto, at the Backplane offices.
