Cool, but these numbers don't have to be primes. They just have to be coprimes (like (8,9)). The least common multiple of two coprimes 'a' and 'b' is a*b. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprime

This advice aligns with my current views so much that I wish I could send back this advice in time to my younger self.

"to build early stage ventures, entrepreneurship would become a “science,” and anyone could do it." Just because something becomes a 'science' it does not mean that everybody can do it. Something is a science if you use the scientific metho

Doing something part-time does not mean that that project is a one weekend experiment. If you do something for let's say 2 years 3 hours each day, why cannot you call that thing a startup? For some of us, quitting our day job is not an opti

B2C (and tools for programmers) is overrepresented amongst hackers because it is easier to gain domain knowledge in these territories especially for young hackers. I also think that B2B is still underrepresented, and I am more interested in

It is not necessarily a bubble yet. I think investors think the mobile-social-local market will be owned by very few companies. (Only a few can survive because of the network effect). They invest into one company and hope that with a lot of

Yes, I see that some mobile-social-consumer stuff with very good connections to investors may be overvalued (but who knows?) (and they get huge tech-media attention), they may be in a bubble, but for most startups it is still 'business as u

Thanks. I did not launch yet. I've written 10.000 lines of code already, but even cutting features heavily I can come out with an MVP only at about 18.000-20.000 lines of code approximately. I try to get good ideas from these kind of applic
