   I agree that is makes sense to respect companies you are working with wishes. In this post though we are merely speculating as to the reason for the meeting and looking for advice from the HN community. If the company had suggested to us t

   I actually prefer not having multi-tasking on my iPhone. I really like that when I close an application it is gone and not running in the background taking up memory or doing unknown things. No multi-tasking keeps things simple, which is h

   So, I am suppose to go out of my way to make sure what I am doing isn't linked to my karma. Not likely. In my opinion karma is suppose to be a by-product of our actions on a site; they are not suppose to dictate them.

   Believe it or not, Karma on this site is not that important to me. I care more about exchanging ideas and thoughts with fellow people doing start-ups. Please answer me this, why would you think that was my main intention? The point of my

    How exactly does a non-technical co-founder start earning revenue or have over 10K users? Someone must be doing their development? While this situation is possible, it seems unlikely. Also, why do you get extra equity if you have raised V

    YouTube is currently the best place to find it, just put together or find a playlist. I was spoiled with this, because we built a website for creating YouTube Playlists and we made a bunch of really good ones for Video Game Music. That si

    Thanks for all the feedback, we started selling a bunch of apps just after the first of the month, so it looks like it won't be until the end of next month until we get paid. Oh boy, that is going to be a liquidity problem... Thanks again

    I am certainly both. What I have found is working really well for me is to have a co-founder who is a 'developer work horse' who takes care of most of the real development and finishes off the products. This frees me up to solve the major

    Currently the top YouTube channels make around 10-30K a month from ads and sponsorships (some much more). They put out really quality stuff. Just go look at the top subscribed channels and you will find some really great video creators.

    Most people are too busy to stop whatever they are doing with their life and steal your idea. Also, if two people execute the same idea, because products change so much in implementation they will likely end with different enough products t
