who says you cant switch jobs on an h1b? maybe your startup can hire him on an L1 business visa. The H1 quota was filled in a single day as I hear.

my thoughts (I am still trying to succeed): I am wondering whether news.YC is the worst place to look for a cofounder - everyone is into their own startup! The problem with going solo is - if and when you achieve traction (users are the onl

wow, I admire your being able to work so hard. try to find a cofounder to share the load (I dont have one myself, gave up looking). some jobs allow you to work from home; makes it easier on you, but one must be honest to give them value for

what if I think that the market will balloon after my software is introduced? Or that my product will become the Microsoft of its market? I think most entrepreneurs make that assumption or have that hope. Nobody is that stupid to deliberate

"This place is a graveyard of hope - everyone here seems to be trying, and everyone seems to be advising - but nobody seems to be succeeding. " I like that. Goodbye, maxklein :)

It is high time India (and Russia, China, Vietnam etc) founded their own angel investors. People willing to risk, willing to believe in their own people. We rely too much on the generosity of America. The IT boom in India has been largely,

for your desktop version, offer free content updates for 1 year. That way early users wont feel ripped off because they paid money for initial content.

Yes, I need to access the file system rw and camera. With Flashlite, I wonder if you have to be online also.

Thanks - I shall look into it. I remember reading that there were even more issues with J2ME running portably, than there are with Java in the browser on desktops.

I feel the crux of the matter is: is a bug costly and/or an embarassment?

perhaps because we are all frogs in a well - and with PG the bullfrog? :)

Did you read the blog post at all? I was listing the things that caused me the most stress as an entrepreneur. Wondered if others would have different pain points and so, what they were.

This sounds like a startup opportunity - issue cheap but trusted certificates.
111.
by juwo 19y ago
that is ridiculous. all they are doing is calling you up to verify you are from where you say you are, and doing a quick lookup. At the time of purchase. After that, it is just the certificate file.

Thawte wants to charge me $249 just to renew - I paid $50 for the certificate last year. I heard you can get them free from CA Authority but when I looked it up, they have some procedure where you have to know someone who is a CA and attend

I believe we are in a bubble. Though not for the reasons he suggests. I am still trying to think through whether it is valid to think so.

yes! my comment on the blog post: well, most of the comments at news.YC and other 'non-technical' newsgroups debate things that "dont really matter"; However, it's the process of debating the silly stuff that creates social friction, so t
