For Vidpresso.com, we use Stripe. It's so easy to set up, and has a really modern REST / Webhook-y api. 2.9% feels expensive, but when you realize you don't have to set up any subscriber / coupon code / plan configuration logic, each charge

But typically that's the large fighting the large, as opposed to the NPEs the article points out. NPEs aren't just rogue states with nuclear weapons (big companies threatening each other), they're like smaller, terroristic organizations who

I think you'd need to start one. Hacker news for business types doesn't seem like an impossible goal. The improbable part would be the early part of the site. You'd need to figure out how to attract the right business people, instead of the

It's not the css we wanted, it's the css we deserved. :) But seriously, this is extremely consistant with other css directives. Yes, I'm still going to just use less / stylus / whatever, but browser based vars mean some interesting possibil

The only thing that bugs me about Hacker Monthly is that the authors of the article don't get anything more than a free subscription. Like, even a token $20 would be something. $100 would feel appropriate. I'm not sure how the cost calculus

I want this. This is awesome. Reddit always seems gross from my perspective as an outsider. I want good quality stuff like that. I have to be logged in to get that?

Love it. This is the less pretty version of OATV's awesome investment thesis pages. http://oatv.com/are.html http://oatv.com/not.html (Which are hosted on Github.) It makes it easier as an entrepreneur to see where you align with an inv

Multicast is a nightmare over the general internet, from what I hear. It'd need some significant tooling to work properly.

Communication overhead is a bitch. I like to think of offices like a node process. Ideally you should have a tight event loop (your core team) who are physically located in the same location. That could consist of just founders, or founders

My $.02: The problem is a really great art project meant to push the web forward. I think we need more things like popcorn to make broadcast data driven, but I don't think popcorn is the thing that makes it all happen.

Yeah but that's genuinely lame. Kidult's shirts play as completely non-clever. His original prank was interesting, but Marc Jacobs' definitely out clever'd Kidult.

Most YC hackers: "I'm fixing x because x is broken. They're slow, costly, inefficient, and aren't taking advantage of modern technology." Elon Musk is doing a YC startup (in spirit) on the most grand scale possible.
