Happy to have your participation inside the Baqqer community. We're trying to help hackers + makers build better, bigger by community crowdfunding, feedback, and building together. :)

You should check out Baqqer. We basically built it for equity crowdfunding and perpetual crowdfunding projects from HNers. It works to help build community, resources (knowledge, capital, feedback), and shows some social proof.

We're using the same model with Baqqer for supporting founders and startups. It's working pretty well, although it's still a new concept relative to growing an idea into a business through the community.

MHG sounds like a really good hacking group name.

You should toss your project on Baqqer, open up some attention and possibly get some pledges to help fund you finding more resources to grow your project.

Yeah, now I get it. It's like progressively larger group chat roulette.

Chat roulette for reddit?

Thanks! Funny story: I pitched an early group of investors this idea, and they stopped me and asked me why I settled on this name. I replied, "Because the domain was available." and the entire room erupted in laughter. Pretty sol

I REALLY REALLY want to help people test out these ideas early on with their community and grow social proof with real capital from their networks. Check out http://baqqer.com/ to help grow your side project and your commun

Which is why I said "loose" criteria, not a rigid ruleset. ::)

He's actually a volunteer moderator/admin. Users can be moderators as well. If you're interested in helping moderate let me know. The job duties are flagging spam, helping community members, and generally being an ambassador

Zuck was on IRC coding at the time, IIRC. He had also built and launched some other software before Facebook. Coming out of that era with that cred would put him higher than most at his age.

The inquiry alone is frightening, although much less so than the implications of a surveillance state. Watching Trumbo and learning more about how the US dealt out the "Red Scare" is crushing to my soul. You want to assume people

We're thinking of opening a fund for Baqqer to invest in startups/founders there, so I think about this. I would typically value the worthiness of a founder by several loose criteria: 1. Founders/Product fit 2. Product/M

We're welcoming anything that wants to share, grow, and collaborate with the rest of the community. But always products you're making yourself.

Hey Everyone! :) Dan here, one of the founders, welcome to take any questions/concerns/feedback people have. I'm super excited to share this with the community. :)

When I was reading those tweets I felt like I was just reading 4chan posts. I laughed because it was obvious it had been compromised in some way, then I stopped paying attention.

Is this the "Magnetic printer" thing they have collecting dust in the corner there? I've always wondered what that was but never found any information on it. I thought it was just some one off.

I had to stop and give a response. As a fellow entrepreneur/founder I'd say if you're building a startup to get into YC, you're not worried about the right thing. The metrics I've found most useful in building a sta

That was my initial reaction when they said rendered in real time, but I'm guessing it meant low latency (real time) while waiting for frames to render during processing.

I'd say hacking is a lot about discovery, manipulation, and exploitation, but not necessarily fundamentally about security alone.

You can always join me over at Techendo ( https://www.techendo.com/ ) making that a great community. :)

Is this like twitter meets google ads in my search? I've moved to Duck Duck Go already, It's about 90% effective, but worth it.

I park it wherever, but mostly try to stick to cities where it's legal to sleep in your van. While I have parked in San Francisco, Redwood City, and San Jose, right now I'm crashing in and around Palo Alto, CA. I shower every morn
