   Did you listen to the interview? The CEO explicitly said that they collect no personal data, and that the only data transferred to their servers is photographs, their locations and the iPhone ID - of which they have no way of tying back t

    I am not sure your opinion on the #1 rule of investing applies to Venture Capital considering the primary focus is on the team. Mind you, perhaps this is a reason as to why Venture Capital on the whole has been less than stellar at times. I

    I really enjoyed Yishans answer if for no other reason than it was positive about Color. I wish Hacker News members, who have zero vested interest in other people's startups, would be a bit more optimistic when it comes to publishing comm

    I think that tags with which everyone can contribute is tricky, tags usually seem to work better if you can have your own taxonomy of tags and they contribute to the site. (eg: delicious lets you tag stuff, and browse those, in addition to
