This clearly shows the value of Y combinator. Dan Levine gets techcrunched before he even has a company.

Over WiFi is a novelty - but it's also a hack to get around the fact that the US carriers are way behind Europe and Asia.

This is interesting because it shows how far behind the US is in the telecoms space. In Europe this has been a basic feature of all 3G phones for around five years. If you want to videochat you just press the button and call somebody up usi

One of the points of the article was that entrepreneurs don't need VC since it's become so much cheaper to do startups. Thus Sand Hill Road isn't as important as it was.

This is a good approach. Noone enjoys explaining face-to-face why they owe you money, and will probably do what they can to avoid this potentiallly embarrassing phone call. If you come off as a really nice guy that really needs the money it

So do I, and it's a pain. some of my CSS files feel bloated and unnecessarily big, but it's an even bigger pain to go through the whole codebase and check everything out by hand. It's a problem and if there's a solution out there it would

I wrote a post about something very similar around a year ago that might be interesting to you. http://www.maximise.dk/blog/2009/01/getting-product-pricing-...

A lot of first-time entrepreneurs (me included) make the mistake of believing that the right idea is paramount for success. As Adams points out that's not true. It's getting old but it's still the truth: Ideas are worthless. Execution is e

I think I would be able to make it work in IE6 with css and a bit of javascript.

Absolutely. It's all about efficiency. But sometimes the most efficient way to get a customer to buy your product is to call him and tell him how great your stuff is, and sometimes the best way to market your product is to go to tradeshows

It's worth remembering that since HN is (unsurprisingly) largely made up of developers when you read through all of the great comments and linked articles there's bound to be a bias towards solving problems with technology even though it's

Althoug it's not built directly on top of jquery but only has integration with it I think CKeditor deserves an honourable mention.

I second that - I'd gladly buy a subscription if it could be sent to Europe.

I would weld a flange around the outside of the pipe a bit below where it's broken. This shouldn't be a problem since there's no oil under pressure coming out there. Then I would make a contraption consisting of three parts: 1) similar flan

Notepad++ because it's relatively simple and gets the job done. I like unbloated minimalism.

I also think the 90% figure is misleading - but I think it's too optimistic. The number of people that quit their job and use their savings and/or family-friends-fools money to start working on a startup and never get to a point where anyon

This poll is so stock-full of mistakes and biases that it's practically worthless. If you bother to click through to the source it even says at the bottom of the blogpost they got it from: "Please bear in mind that this poll is not scienti

I wouldn't be able to live without flash and here's why. If I visit 100 sites a day maybe 5 of them will be dependent on flash in some way. Menus, slideshows, etc. Without flash the site is worthless. I won't remember the 95 sites that work

That is the core of the problem. Nobody likes to say no - especially politicians whose constituents will lose something from it. They might vote for someone else at the next election.

According to their annual report they have 272 million dollars worth of member deposits. With that security practice that is very scary.

Ahh, I misunderstood tabstops - I thought they were only the left and right margins. Thanks for clearing it up.
