as someone new to HN (signed up earlier but started to heavily use recently), this is not the type of article I come to HN for. But i find myself attracted to them because they are easy to comment on and build rep on. and a kind of rep wa

I was going to simply say that all the tales seem to be various distractions that don't seem to be factors for success. But then there is an idiom in Chinese 破釜沉舟 which roughly means breaking your cooking utensils and your boats (removing

is there data backing up this n+1 claim? without A/B testing it, it is hard to be convinced that it is definitely the cheaper strategy. in fact, it makes a lot of assumptions about how people will behave, whats to prevent a culture develo

from the data in the past HN post, single founder companies are slightly better in absolute numbers than duo founded. but i would think there could be an order of magnitude more bootstrapped single founder attempts than duo founded, and if

I vote for #3 mostly due to feeling that if you are asking these questions instead of just jumping in and learning it, it is probably not for you. And from the limited information you have provided, I would be wary of going forward with yo

first of all the idea is great, and when my son is older I will definitely use this. What would be really nice is some sort of guidance system by age. For instance, which worksheets are appropriate for which age, maybe as a wide range. a

Ha I actually had a similar take. The story started very nicely like a good startup story should and in my mind i thought here is possibly another good story about the pitfalls of doing startups that one can learn from. Then got to the se

I honestly never truly understood the value of services like engineyard and heroku (more accurately i guess i think i understand the value but am surprised by why so many would need it). It is quite a price premium you pay to save yourself

My rather incoherent take on this is that wealth is really not generated by people as much anymore. The things we use/want are really produced by machines plus a few workers. It is not really that worker producing the products, it is a co

Sliders? There are features in Photoshop that only make sense if you have done darkroom development. They are already so heavily invested into being complex and it has been OK so far. For more reasonable UI, you can use Adobe Lightroom.
