probably because you're getting a mobile page of some kind. I just checked it in firefox on my laptop, and if you scale the window you'll see the text slide behind the graphics leaving the text unreadable.

Agree. I'm reading this on an ipad, and in portrait mode this page https://play.google.com/about/features/ is unreadable because the text slides behind the pictures. Apparently noone has thought about whether the site is even usable for s

No, it was public from the start - the ID's are sequential, so you can go back and see what the first submissions were. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={a rather smallish number}

W3fools is nothing but a jab at w3schools, and most certainly not a place for a beginner to start learning css and html.

I've had an account here for more than four years, so I'd like to think I have a somewhat informed perspective on how the community has fared thus far. The first year or so was a private club. I knew many of the posters, and would have grea

We actually just talked about trying to get some international coverage on a board meeting the other day, so this AMA seemed a pretty good opportunity. Our goal for this year is to get more international members, it's currenlty mostly Danes

I just spent 20 minutes writing up a question that was important to me (would you become a public supporter of Copenhagen Suborbitals, working towards sending a man into space) only to see it being lost in a sea of questions. http://www.re

I take it that you're not a black man living in a rural area, because if you were statistically 13% of your friends would be in prison.

Or maybe the OP is just realistic? It certainly seems plausible that an established player will have an easier time raising money, generating buzz and getting a product out there than an unproven guy coding at home in a bathrobe. While I ag

yes there should be but unfortunately that's not how the world works. In politics (which this clearly is) you always pick a fight with someone you know you can beat. It's hard to beat facebook or youtube.

If you read through the comments there's a lot of angry users demanding refunds and questioning the service. There's a fair chance that they won't be able to bounce back after this. Especially if the domain doesn't come back up within a day

I'm currently leading a small project where something like that would be extremely handy. Copenhagen Suborbitals (copenhagensuborbitals.com) is doing five testlaunches of rockets this summer from the baltic sea. My job is to get live video

I think there's a strong correlation between hard problems and intelligent people being passionate about them. You probably won't find many intelligent people that are particularly interested in standing in queues, driving a cab or waiting

I think there's a flaw in the premise, namely that one persons schlepp is another mans passion. From the Stripe example: "You'd have to make deals with banks. " - I know quite a few people who would love nothing more than the challenge of

You're hinting at Google's design problem in your comment. Good design isn't primarily about UI research and one way mirrors. It's having a design vision for what you want to be, and how you communicate that to your users. Simplicity and ea

Technical tweaks may also help. On Reddit, votes on your comments don't affect your karma score, but they do on News.YC. And it does seem to influence people when they can see their reputation in the eyes of their peers drain away after ma

This is important, and startup founders are especially vulnerable. The expectations, both from the world and founders themselves, are often impossibly high - afterall there can be only one facebook and one Google. Failure in startups isn't
