Great job, Jack! I love when companies open source their projects. Aside from sharing knowledge, they're a great 'passive' way to recruit.

Fantastic advice. I first learned about this fantastic advice from a blog post by Dan Martell that I read a year or two ago. Unfortunately, I can't find it on his blog or searching Google or I'd post it. :\

A couple of times a week, I wake up at 3 or 4a & can't go back to sleep for a couple of hours. Does anyone else run into this? What approaches did you take to counteract?

This just shows that "hackathon" is becoming more popularized. Today, everything is a "hackathon" which is rather annoying, IMO. In the past year or so, we've seen legal hackathons [1], marketing hackathons [2] and more. Now, more and mor

So, is every post from this site going to be submitted to HN? Hopefully. :)

Fantastic mission statement: clear, concise and it sounds almost impossible to do. It seems like people really get behind startups with the biggest, craziest visions....it almost serves as a built in rallying cry.

It makes all those comments that flat design doesn't convey enough information, and makes everything indistinguishable, so true. It makes it very hard to understand what I'm seeing. I took screenshot of same location with the original map

This is hacker news. People hack to hack. I don't understand your question. Thank you sir....I wish I could upvote this 1000x.

When we see something we don't like it isn't bad to complain about it in and of itself but what isn't okay is this self-righteous attitude people have started to acquire. It's this phenomenon where we think that we can not only publicly sh

We're constantly reading content on here that tells us to follow our passions, take risks and solve problems. Just Landed does that, but it's not an "important" enough problem to solve. He "wasted" his talent and should have focused on the

Jetstrap reminds me of Divshot - another great interface builder: http://www.divshot.com Great job! Glad to see some startups out there trying to make it easier to create :)

I like this idea. Great job!! However, Twitter already sends emails out of tweets that are popular in your network. My only concern is that they could easily shut your service down & do the same thing as your app if they wanted to.

"I had considered only my ambition and values, without stopping to think in an honest, meaningful way about what would make me happy on a day-to-day basis" Sad thing is, most people don't think about what makes them happy. They simply try

When consumers swipe cards, they don't think of the economic implications behind it. They just want their "stuff". When you put things in real terms of the economic impact for fees like Milne did, people can see the difference it could make

Some really great stuff here - I love the passion Milne has about changing the way we move money. I love what Dwolla is trying to do - changing the way transactions are done can make an impact on the economy. The part where he pulled thous

I'm inclined to agree with robgough's response. Jobs didn't need to respond if he thought it was a waste of time and/or didn't care. He simply needed to give approval - not much else needed to be said.

"While this approach may not sound appealing to every startup out there, the design team is clearly a selling point for Google’s VC arm, making it more attractive to promising early-stage startups." Sure sounds appealing to me. :) This is a

Absolutely! The thing I liked so much about these ideas is that there was a lot of vision & thought put into describing them. With Google Fiber + mobile....the people of Kansas City can become more connected.
