Hang on, but isn't designing on a Mac the wrong way around? You get something that looks beautiful on a Mac, but dreadful elsewhere? Surely you design for, or at least prioritise, for the largest audience share? i.e IE or FF?

by retube 15y ago

Yes but even the fairly niche demographic of HN extends to those with interests outside of social analytics.

Actually I don't understand why this valuation is being considered null/void. It _is_ a simple issue of "extrapolation". (whether the stock is over-priced is a separate issue). If this firm spent 6.5m on 0.01% of common stock, and assuming
