I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, and treat the assholes as outliers. It's too easy to assume the worst, but that's what a lot of people do these days. It's kind of sad.

I've seen the silly "start-up vs. project" debate rage on and on, to no end, but I have NEVER seen someone try to define what a "project" is and isn't. Are you actually serious???

I find that when it comes to these sorts of arguments that the people who spend their time telling you what they think are usually the people who care too much what other people think. Startup vs. Project? Computer Programmer vs. Software E

Right... because Bill Gates didn't make billions from the education market. You go build a company around giving things to the education market for free and I'll build a company around selling things to the education market, and we'll see w

There is a difference between selling someone something that they need but don't realize it yet vs. selling someone something that they don't need. The term "sell ice to eskimos" means you're so good at selling that you can sell someone som

I think you saw humor where there was none. I'm saying selling stuff to people that they don't need has never been what been important for a startup.

Ignore anyone who says they don't need cash. It's nonsense. Just turn your TV on for two minutes. We should be opening our wallets as much for Japan right now as we've done for any country facing this sort of crisis in the past.

Might want to rethink the "sell ice to Eskimos" part. That's the furthest thing from what's expected from any startup.

If the sincere question would have taken two seconds to type "DHH" into Google to answer, then down-voting is fair game.

I guess I'd better stop waiting for Amazon to provide me with an iPhone app that lets me launch Cluster GPU instances.

It would be nice to do that, but if Apple has shown us anything, it's that you either play entirely by their rules, or you don't play at all. ANY attempt to circumvent this will just mean your app gets bounced, then you're fucked. Once you'

Last time I checked, HN was just a site that didn't make any money, not a content company. YC selling to AOL, I suppose, would be a possibility, but good luck attracting startups if that's the case. Either way, I don't see it. This is prett

He's a brilliant guy, but this is a terrible example. Worms can't communicate with us, so obviously we're not going to try to have a conversation with them. If we found a worm-like species on another planet and their vocabulary consisted of

I'm curious what you're looking for here. Isn't this data completely useless if you don't know what the prototype is?

If you care about actually making money from the very beginning (as opposed to just being bought -- which isn't likely to happen -- or just getting a tonne of users and worrying about it later), then consider your business model at the very

This is literally unfathomable to me. This guy has to be some sort of serious genetic freak. I workout regularly, but I think I just got chin splints just from reading that article. When you consider how even the most elite athletes fall vi

I have a big problem with this because it takes advantage of people who need the money, otherwise they wouldn't be participating in this kind of contest. It's one thing if you have ten participants and you pay the winner the equivalent of 1

I remember the days when people just down-voted inappropriate comments instead of "warning" me about what I could or could not write before I had even written it.

I'm 36, but in internet years, you're two generations ahead of me, so go back to your retirement home, grandpa, and leave this technology stuff to us young'uns.

Don't ignore your stupid ideas... that only waste a few hours of your time if they don't go anywhere; otherwise, your first instinct is probably the one to go with.

Actually, I can't be downvoted for posting. That's part of the safety of it. You can only downvote a comment... so here's a comment ;-) Really, I was just throwing a bit of commentary and intentional hypocrisy in there at the same time. The
