tl;dr: 1) partial pdf display to avoid image download 2) application task bar (+ hot key application switch) 3) "loading" gif 4) selecting text and resizing selection area 5) annotating pdfs by using a separate index file Pre

It really depends on whether the cost is worth avoiding the effort to get the gift card and send it to your friend. I don't see a lot of value add (as a giftcard replacement) for vendors who are already selling gift cards online.

It's not any more ridiculous than facebook virtual gifts that cost money: "So I can pay facebook $1 to send my friend a virtual beer that he can't drink?" Both are arguably ridiculous to any (hyper)rational person, but people are not ration

Is it james altucher day on HN? Anyone else find it odd that he's hitting the front page repeatedly today with marginal content?

Cool, the name change made me think you were moving away from the old business model (as did the submission title).

With apologies for cynicism, how long will it be a viable pivot for struggling startups to move into the daily deals space? I've seen it 5 times now, once at the behest of the VC, and it clearly can get you to revenue, I just don't know if

Surprised the article didn't mention zferral or extole (or more recently - spreadable from the chargify guys). Actually quora does a better job: http://www.quora.com/Marketing/What-third-party-services-can...

I agree on design/dev, but for freelance/full-time, hourly/salary - both could be options.

The position/payment options for submitting a job should be check boxes rather than radio buttons.

Hate to respond to pedantry with more pedantry, but that's a pretty questionable application of micro theory. The main value of using Groupon is that in exchange for offering a deep discount, you get the firehose turned on your business - i

Wow - I actually added that entry about DTSS a few years after my father (Ken Lochner) died. It's kind of a trip to now read it on HN.

If he doesn't want to participate in future rounds, you could try to raise a new round to cash him out, or you could take a down round and dilute him.

You obviously missed this part: Just like with any dynamic programming problem, we need to produce a matrix very nice code, I found it much clearer than the blog post The key intuition is that by considering the items sequentially,

The author stumbled over one of the most important pieces of data - GP's per 100,000 people. The author notes we have the lowest doctor:population ratio, adding: "And that’s after spending way, way, way more money than anyone else"

I thought the standard for software engineering projects was to take the estimate, bump up a unit and multiply by 2: 1 hour --> 2 days 1 week --> 2 months . . . so 10 years would have been 20 decades :)

Skills don't really compound, it's not like interest where you gain 10%/year on your existing skill set. We forget stuff, and things we learn don't always enhance/build on things we already know.

Surely it wouldn't mean much if $100 out of the last round to facebook went to operations with the remaining money cashing out employees and investors, so where's the line? What if half the round cashes out prior investors?

You can't just equate Minsky's 'Ponzi Finance' with a 'Ponzi Scheme' just because they both have the word 'Ponzi' in them. Minsky used the idea of a Ponzi scheme in creating his own technical term to describe speculative borrowing. Also, M

The state of your projects folder can change pretty rapidly when you check out different branches. For some reason I'm not a fan of my dropbox folder constantly trying to keep up with my branch changes. I do like the idea of having a viewa
