Fact: if you provide no documentation and use hand-wavy terms like "some non-US companies," your speculation can sound much more like factual information.

In this case, the title is descriptive of what the product is -- it's not the typical "review our lean bootstrapped MVP" post.

In this case, I'd say the photograph would be newsworthy enough to be run all over the mainstream media, and indexed extensively by Google.

Yeah, I recognize the irony. :)

This comment was literally one of the most useless things I've ever read on Hacker News.

The money still goes to the labels, because of the licensing agreements they have in place.

Seconded. Braintree is probably the best vendor I've ever worked with.

The same thing happened with FM radio, the cassette tape, and the VCR. I sympathize to a certain degree with the record labels, but they're essentially just middlemen. Door-to-door vacuum salespeople were undoubtedly upset when the market s

Really not sure why I'm getting downvoted, because they don't have USB3... http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macboo...

I didn't think the new MBPs had USB3?

No, as far as I know, Microsoft does not contractually obligate developers to use their tools. The .NET CLI is an ECMA standard, and there have been a few alternative languages developed for it (same as the JVM). I'm not aware of anything t

IANAL, but legally, any mark you make with the intent of signing is a signature. I guess you could claim after the fact that it wasn't you who signed the receipt, though...

I agree with what you're saying, but would argue that if you're opening a restaurant, the steak should come first. :) In this case though, you're absolutely right.

Not to rain on your parade, but I'm having a hard to understanding how you'll undercut shipping companies. Their prices are so low because they rely on economies of scale (large trucks and a very sophisticated supply chain) and complex algo

That's not a reason to be angry at someone. If you're upset that they "sold out," go build your own. Most of us are in this to not only build cool things, but to make money .

If it's not in your contract, it doesn't exist for the purposes of law. That's good, because it means they can't take claim of any IP from your startup (which is the most important thing). The common wisdom in the US is that if you don't us

It's also very common in the US, but it's largely unenforceable unless the company can demonstrate a legitimate conflict of interest. (IANAL)

I think you're missing the point by a wide margin. Determining the difference between two articles and ordering supplies are two very common tasks -- if people with a college degree lack the ability to do them, we really are in trouble. If

Their API is very simple (just HTTP POSTs) so we just built our side from the ground up.

We use Braintree ( http://braintreepaymentsolutions.com/ ) as our credit card gateway and merchant account. I can't say enough good things about them... they're one of the rare companies now that offers an excellent product and excellent se

Thanks! We did that intentionally. I have the same complaint about long tour videos. It also helps when we roll out new features -- we don't have to re-record the whole tour, we can just add another video.

You bet. :)

You can ask me any question other than that one. :) Their offer was generous enough to make us completely scrap our plans for staying independent and growing the business ourselves. It wasn't just the money though, after meeting Rally we we

This is the press release announcing the acquisition of the company my wife and I launched last July. I posted a Review My Site on HN when we launched, so I thought everyone might be interested in a follow-up. It's our first startup, and we

I owned a Studio XPS 1645 (the Core i7 model). The construction was pretty good for Dell, and the RGBLED screen was gorgeous. However, they clearly rushed the Core i7 version to market without testing power consumption effectively. The supp

That's true, but at a $500 price point, you're also reducing your market substantially due to price elasticity. Be sure to lower the price quickly if you feel like you're not getting traction.
