That's like saying EC2 is a copy of Slicehost.

You might be able to get away with it if you own (at least part of) the company. :)

Love the idea, and it solves a real problem. I thought of building something similar awhile back, when I got frustrated collecting fees for a fantasy football league.

Yet another reason to use Braintree. Their support is fantastic, their API is unparalleled, and we've had nothing but good experiences with them. (In spite of sounding like an ad, I have no vested interest. They're just an awesome company.)

Regarding #1, there are a lot more fish in the sea, and you can catch a lot of fish with $1M. It often makes sense to sell any property at the peak of its value. It's possible (perhaps likely) that Chatroulette is at its peak value right no

This mirrors my personal experience very closely, and as such I think it's great advice. :)

On the contrary, I think it makes a lot of sense to accept the opinion of someone more educated on a topic than yourself. I'm a technologist, not a nutritionist. Likewise, if a doctor thought he knew more about software than me, he'd likely

I've done my best to understand the data, but with my limited understanding of natural science, I trust the man with the M.D. and a focus in metabolism more than the one with an MS in nutrition.

Miguel de Icaza is the foremost expert in the CLR that doesn't work for Microsoft. If he wanted to work for Microsoft in any capacity, I would bet anything that they would roll out the red carpet for him. You're either projecting or you don

Please show me where de Icaza has said that phrase. It's certainly not in this article, and yet you reference it as if you're quoting him.

Aren't they cash flow negative? If so, they're actually saving money the longer they're down. Maybe it's a cost-cutting maneuver. :)

I hate to make a meta-comment, but what in the world does this stuff have to do with Hacker News? I continually see people complaining about newsworthy but non-technical articles being posted, and yet hundreds of comments on these posts. Is

Meeting a prospective candidate's mate might be a good idea, but at least in the US, it's illegal (or at least dangerous). To avoid discrimination claims for sexual preference, you can't even ask if the person is married or has a significan

I think the key is not to go out of your way to fit a person's name into a sentence you already were planning to say, but instead do things like greeting them by name. As you point out, it's much more likel to be interpreted as being friend

I gave you three downvotes for a blatant attempt at karma whoring, but thanks for playing.

> US Law is such that if a certain prosecutor was sufficiently morally offended by your existence, the founder of a Chatroulette clone could be charged with Federal Racketeering. IANAL, but this sounds like a load of FUD to me. The majo

Steam is more than just an app store, though. It's a social network, provides automatic updates for games, etc.

> While `$('div').fn({...})` will bind the behavior to all divs, calling `$('div').fn('foo')` will only invoke `foo` on the first `div`. This may be changed in future releases. Love the plugin, but this behavior seems counter-intuitive

I agreed with this, but then I thought of the scene in Indiana Jones with the sword expert... Seriously though, while I think the metaphor is a little weak, the article makes some good points.

I think it has more to do with whether the staff time and customer count are linear. Obviously each additional customer adds overhead, but in scalable businesses, growth of revenue far outpaces the growth of overhead.

When there's intellectual property involved, it's still acquisition. I would imagine some sort of consideration was offered in exchange for the IP associated with reMail, which makes it an acquisition instead of recruitment.

This sounds good, but it's not true in reality. Couples rarely see eye to eye on 100% of topics, so in a stable relationship, many things become a compromise of sorts. Everyone should feel fulfilled by sex, but that doesn't mean that the wo

I think the most disturbing part of the SCOTUS ruling on corporations' donating to campaigns is being missed. Let's say I work a normal 9-5 job for a large company, like Ford. Let's further say I'm a Democrat, but Ford decides to donate a l

I write a general-purpose web app, so I don't need to worry about what new devices are on the market in order to "stay competitive". If you tie yourself to a single device, you have to accept the consequences.

General Electric, the Ford Motor Company, Microsoft, Google, etc. all started out as small businesses.
