Yeah, sorry I forgot Hacker News was all srs bznss where no humor is tolerated whatsoever. On the Tumblr monetization front, TheStartupist[1] covers a good portion of their story. Checking Crunchbase[2] shows that they've gone through prett

Not really, since Tumblr doesn't have any ads either. Come to think of it, besides selling premium themes, how else does Tumblr make money? Surely all the trust-fund hipsters on the site don't bring in wheelbarrows of money with their ironi

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I was able to quickly and painlessly update my MX records for all the domains I have with them to my Google Apps setup. I recently noticed that Google Apps even setup a custom how-to page for NFSN use

If you're engaging in sensitive escapades via Tor to conceal your true identity, shouldn't the intentions and identity of who you're tunneling all your traffic through be one of your top priorities? How do you know if that node with the pre

I was a big proponent of Tor circa 07-09ish. However, I don't think it's really the best solution out there for those who need/wish-to-have private, anonymous internet usage. There are a number of issues I could list including how slow and

The problem is publications like Forbes and Businessweek know that their readers gobble-up linkbait stories about teen entrepreneurs who may or may not be the real deal and even know what they're doing. There are quite a few successful and

No witch-hunts please. Put your pitchforks and torches down. Let's finish this like gentlemen; find real citations and references to add to the page as nbpoole suggests.

I'd love if you tried the shipped idea suggested by ericb[1]. A simple input-form in the profile page that someone could put a link to and that would light up a 1x1 pixel next to their username if they've shipped a startup yet. [1]: http:/

Wasn't there a site like this, but for just meetings in general?

If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful

Ever since Garry joined YC, I assumed (and suggested) this as one of the top things they get on making...just a simple UA detection for mobiles and more usable interface in CSS as you mention.

I've been meaning to post an Ask HN about this topic myself for awhile. The online buying experience has unnecessary friction, particularly at the "giving you my money" stage. Paypal has strong brand power and familiarity, and is the only p

Yeah, a one-time paywall is what has kept Metafilter and Something Awful going strong. Don't think pg et al. will ever pull that though.

This smells strongly of 1999. What equity stake do the ancillary developers get? Sorry, but all this news of late of tons of startup accelerators and incubators popping up everywhere is a little unnerving. What is the rational of all these?

Tor really isn't a safe way for dissidents to interact online and pass information. Pretty much all the exit nodes are monitored by governments and intelligence agencies. Press about Tor, social media, and other online tools was a big trend

Sorry, I meant to convey the idea of Macs often being fashion statements. All the cool, hip kids use it to build their social coupon webapp weekend startup from a coworking space in RoR with a NoSQL backend while listening to indie rock.

Yes. I use FreeBSD on production and dev servers. I use OpenBSD for other uses unrelated as well. Darwin is based off of FBSD. NetBSD runs anywhere, and OpenBSD is one of the most security-concious operating systems. Just because some peopl
