   If you have a driving partner, I would recommend a cross-country driving trip to everyone. A few months ago I moved from Charlottesville, VA out to the Bay Area. I stopped in Memphis, Amarillo, Phoenix, LA and drove up highway 101 from ther

   I've been going through Rails Tutorial for the past few weeks. You definitely have a gift for communicating clearly and effectively. I would strongly recommend Rails Tutorial to anyone looking to get started with Rails.

   Out of curiosity, is this shoe design patented or could nike/adidas/reebok/etc come in and change the market with their own version?

   I figure someone will eventually ask this so I guess I'll go ahead and do so: How much did you get for cli.gs and did it make your time invested in the project "worth it?"

    As far as I can tell, they're only YC funded. They have steadily growing revenue (given the assumption that more people are booking lodging through their site)

    This event looks like it's geared towards programmers, but aren't at least a few of these companies looking for non-programming positions? Wouldn't the information shared at this event be just as relevant to business-minded folks interested

    Yeah I made that comment before I read "My business model is easy to duplicate and posting something like this is not good for me." So, while such an interview might be of interest to people of HN, it doesn't sound like Max would agree to i
