^ Wow surprised at the pushback on that. The term "Wild Indians" is referring back to the "Wild West" days and is no way indicative of actual modern day American Indians. Maybe another term could have been used however I think it was blown

It's like buying condoms before the first date. (Sorry for the inappropriate inference.) Am I the only one that thinks that's a good idea? Seriously, people in cars cause accidents, accidents in cars cause people.

It can't be that simple, Pixar has to have massive distributed systems right? I mean it can't be a single linux system with a single backup, if that's the case you would be safer storing it in Dropbox (Not that you would) since at least the

Cool, +1 This is very useful. You guys keep making parse even more awesome than it already was.

Good designers buy stock photos for generic things and fill in with custom bits to produce a finished piece. Good programmers copy/pase boilerplate code and focus on the stuff that really makes it different. (iOS example) you don't write ou

Exactly, it's the lie that's bad. If he had not added on CS most likely he still would have gotten the job. I would bet he was just keeping up a lie he started earlier in his career.

Why I switched to google. A) it was fast, it loaded fast. B) it was not filled with ads and pop ups. Only one of those is still true.

The idea has been around for a while however not at scale. Which brings up the topic of cost? I know it can be outsourced, however hopefully not this way: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/05/26/chinese-prisoners-... Kidding aside, If y

Not all of them, maybe I should have been more specific. By personal I was referring to apps I have For sale in the App store, apps I developed for clients etc.. What I have decided to do is start offering tutorials/projects showing the rea

A lot of what I have worked on is closed source so lately I have been looking through all of my old files/hard drives looking for code to post to github. Either A) it is so old that it's a mess. Or B) it's from some personal project that I

The big draw for the pi is the price at around $30 it's a very feature rich machine. The pi would actually do better in the market that intel is targeting (kiosks and digital displays) do to its size and ability to run off USB power. You co

I follow this simple rule when dealing with trolls online. "Don't argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" It's better not to engage in the first place.

Great example and a great follow up to "I don't hire unlucky people" As always a pleasure to read your blog.

Congrats, the app is cool and is a great example of how cool the Parse platform is. You can build really nice Apps very fast with a great backend.

Yes however it could be for YC companies only, so you know you're less likely to get a dud. However I'm not sure how it would workout and it could get messy fast. I see a lot of potential pitfalls in crowd funding startups, there will be bu

Great post, by the end I was looking for the "buy button" you did a great job defining the problem and a nail that sticks out always gets hammered. ;)

I moved from Junior designer to Art Director within a year of leaving college and getting my first job (doubled my income at the same company) I was put in charge of people who were "Senior" and had been with the company for 15 years+. It's

I'm no stranger to this feeling, however I always seem to figure it out. It's one of the traits that makes someone good a programming, there can't always be a code sample or someone there to show you how and you just have to do it anyway. +

If memory serves one of the YC companies was doing exactly this, however I forget the name.

IMO. This is PR stunt, It's standard OP in Florida to threaten to close stuff due to budget constraints. I can't remember a single case where they actually did even if they did not get the budget increese/tax hike that they said they needed

My dad died when he was 49, I'm 27. 49 - 27 = 22; Keeping that in mind gets me moving every day. Enjoy the time that you have, build great things and do great stuff.

I purchased Texttastic the other day because my MacBook Air is in for service. Great text editor and if paired with a bluetooth keyboard you almost forget you're not on a laptop.

I would say "it depends" however someone without the deep domain knowledge would have a difficult time executing so you most likely don't need an NDA anyway.

An idea on its own is worth little, the key is execution. Any reasonably intelegent person can teach themselves enough code to at least make a demo or mockup. If you think about it the original Twitter demo could have been made from a Word

When these can be used in laptops it would give a whole no meaning to "MacBook Air" - Sorry couldn't resist.

I like the idea however there was some discussion that Safari on the new iPad downsamples the images even if they are at retina resolutions. I have not looked at the code however I hope that this issue is addressed.

Prediction: there will be a black market for hacked data recorders that tell my insurance company I drive like a granny and never leave my house except to go to the grocery store.
