I'm not sure I agree that this is such a 'superb idea' ... As a founder, I want to personalise my domain, and design, and that means coming up with different concepts, and searching whois until I find a good match that's available ... T

I would say that the problem is systemic - you have two political parties which are basically at eachothers throats the whole time, and a historical belief in a very pure form of capitalism - money is the bottom line, and the markets shoul

I don't think that being a member of a tribe enabled anyone to save the world, just their village and their families. I would argue that the internet has empowered far more people than ever. I get the Author's point, however I think he's o

I'm not sure I like the way that my personal and professional life are suddenly becoming intertwined ... I want a few online identities dammit, not one!

Social gifting is cool. The only problem with it is that the people who REALLY need the gift are the ones who can't afford smartphones, tablet devices, or computers. So i'd rather give my gifts the old fashioned way. But i still like th

As already requested in the following thread: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2868110 I would love to see a tab for people submitting their products, i.e. a show HN tab ...

by paulnelligan 15y ago
true, but wouldn't it be great to have a tab for those entries ? :)

I think it's not about depending on HN for your startup's success, I think it's about creating a greater avenue of exposure for those who have invested months (sometimes longer) of their time into building a product ...

I disagree, I've found it very difficult to get upvotes in the past, that might be the quality of the product, however it would be great to find ways to improve that product given the right feedback and the right exposure ...

That search is for '(YC S11)', I don't see a standardized way of searching for 'review my startup' entries for those of us not fortunate enough to be part of YC ... that's more or less what i'm suggesting ...

thanks, will do!

ok, I resubmitted my request as a thread, here's hoping it gets read by enough people to upvote: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2868110

Hi Jonathan, I'm not up for the witchhunt, as far as I'm concerned people have done far worse than what's been suggested here ... However, don't you think this could have been avoided by not saying 'I am not in any way affiliated with Sta

Hi Paul. I would love to see a tab for people launching new products in general. i.e. a way to submit your startup for review. Since HN is essentially a startup community, wouldn't it make sense to distinguish a 'review my startup' entr

never has the expression 'don't try this at home' been more appropriate!

OR you could get a VPS slice at linode and set it up for yourself, one day of work, but if you're serious about your product, it's well worth it!

That's an actual question, not a rhetorical one, thanks for the upvotes, but does anyone know the answer to my question ?

It would be great if developers could could reach some consensus re. what are acceptable terms and what are not ... nice dream!

Would I be right in saying this is an American phenomenon?, or is it used worldwide ?

The business venture is not a failure. It takes balls to do that, and it all counts for good experience and something you can talk about ... You're obviously a talented developer, try learning something new like node.js and get some emplo

I guess the idea that there may be others outside of The middle east which may be anti-media and anti-corruption is not plausible to Mrs. Clinton. I sometimes get the impression that those in power have a warped view of the world as a resu

True, but it's still much better than just relying on people submitting accurate results without even testing them ... at least with multiple choice everyone is being tested to approximately the same metric, and you can get a more accurat

I found this article extremely interesting. If you haven't watched the 'beating retreat ceremony' video, make sure you do, it's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.

Let's think about it logically. If you were to actually test the users instead of asking them 'which of these do you know?', the ONLY option is multiple choice since analysing text-field input from the user to determine if their definitio

OR they could actually make it a REAL test, e.g. multiple choice I scored far lower than I would have expected, which although it hurts my ego a bit, I can easily dismiss because of the nature of this test.
