Am I the only one that would prefer a HP 42s? $300 on ebay? are you kidding me? I know, I've got "RPN Calculator" on my android phone, but it's just not the same.

Wow, is anyone else shocked by the prices? A couch for $900 a month? A one bedroom rental (in Sunnyvale that would normally go for $600 to $800 a month on CL) for $1200 and up?

I've been using InboxQ for two weeks now. Not specifically for my product, but for my topic of interest. So far, the questions that InboxQ finds seem to simply be a keyword search that also contains a question mark. I'd say 1 out of 100 hav

Well this is timely. For anyone near San Jose, the Borders at Santana Row has "store closing" signs out today. Most things 20 to 40% off.

With something like 1 trillion dollars in credit card debt in the U.S. I'm think it's safe to say many aren't "living in the future" at all.

30 hours for $550? Not to belittle your situation, but this would have been a red flag for me. Even in Tennessee I would expect the hourly rate for a reliable developer or designer to be higher than this. If it was a larger amount of money

Shouldn't the rejection be focused (as much as possible) around areas that you want to improve such as getting a conversation started with women and cold calling customers? Securing a bite of someone else's croissant is pretty low on my lis

After several generations of netbooks, people are still pining for optical drives for the one or two times a year you wish you had one? I'd much rather the smaller form factor and a USB key for data transfer.

lol, ok thanks for ganging up on half my comment and the down votes. My wording choice was poor and I agree that "nothing to hide" does not make it right for the abuse that we are seeing lately. But I still stick to my response to the previ

Oddly I had exactly the opposite experience. My wife and I were interviewed together, the agent asked very straight forward questions about our past with me present. There was nothing tricky in the slightest. I guess it depends upon the sit

If you don't mind me asking - what did you end up paying compared to the sticker price? The problem with most services like Carwoo is that you can get a much better deal yourself with a little bit of knowledge and some time.

I've worked with them as an affiliate too - and their XML service, in some cases, is very slow compared to their competitors - like orders of magnitude slow. I hope 40+ engineers can help them catch up with the rest. Although 40 seems like

He stated they have $70,000 per day in revenue. Depending upon average ticket price that is more like 6,000 to 8,000 tickets during this period. Still an incredible success, but not 70,000 tickets.

Wait - so after all that they are not going to milk this into some kind of contest? They are just going to give up and walk away? "This wasn’t the right project at the right time for crowd sourcing" - what? Isn't that the whole point of thi

Looks like they are getting a good response and more mindshare then they should for a logo. Perhaps this will be the new "new coke/old coke" case study of the future but "now with more crowdsourcing (tm)".

I generally reply to less than 2% of CL ads - choosing the ones that I feel I have the best chance to win. I never send a resume, I only reply with links to other projects I have already completed that are pertinent to the job request. I al

I agree. More than half of my work has come from CL. The nice thing about CL is being able to win work locally if you are in a larger metro area. Even if you are not in a big CL city, many replies to job ads are from overseas or from develo

I wonder what the age distribution is between applicants and those accepted. Rejected as well. But I'm "old" in YC-years so I didn't expect to get an invite.

What is flex? I'd just go with 0 or Studio as it is much more common on rental website search forms.

I don't think there was anymore than this. I remember the first post with a big lead up to the 30 day trip - but I don't remember many other posts other than the one you linked to.
