it's business brother. you're not asking to date his sister. you earned the money, go ask for it. and procrastinating is just fine. but you don't QUIT without getting that kind of dough.

They were both wrong. Any employee who leaves 10k behind didn't care enough about it in the first place. The fact that he forgot is huge. A company that talks about bonuses of that size with no legal contract didn't care enough about it to

this same shit happened with me when I worked retail, but I didn't quit until they told me I would never get the money. I never quit and then went back to get it. If memory serves, the phrase is "take the money and run" not "run and then tr

Good to mention market transparency after demo day. I hadn't thought of that. Though, once you build the prototype, you'll be looking for funding anyways. Maybe it's just the most efficient form of presenting? I feel like the benefits at th

print is a sunset industry. news is not. the ny times is about news, hence the apps and online deals they have. and just in case you think that's not enough, it's more of a revenue model than instagram had.

and yet, the new york times effects every news reporting agency across the world. it's stories define the news cycle, make and brake candidates for president, redefine foreign policy and effect governments all over the entire world. faceboo

I'm right there with you. my favorite book right now is "we're going on a bear hunt": we can't go over it, can't go under it, can't go around it. I guess we'll have to go through it.

Not as big a problem as downvoters in my opinion...

I like this because it isn't a "gotcha" trick. That's the way this method backfires (in my opinion).

You're right. But as a society, it's up to us to make the world a better place, not excuse it for what it is. I have no idea what happens "mostly" with rape, nor would I use it as a reason why this app isn't bad. There are many problems wit

"These reports don’t for one minute think that this is just a fun app — an app that most people will run once, laugh heartily (or a little nervously), and then never look at it again." For most people the sentence above is true. But I don't

my bad for not clarifying--yes it only has two. I meant to write video out, which has changed repeatedly. I've only owned macs--I love the operating system but think their obsession with dongles is crazy. Really though, I think people knew

I suppose all the different firewire cables on my macs are a "feature" of apple's fast development.

Google should do more of this stuff (but more practical stuff) and put serious development distance between itself and facebook. Being able to have a good idea and then built it at work is what Google's about--or at least what I think they

I have to say, I love how frank this discussion is. If we weren't talking about testicles, I would say I hope this is what every HN discussion would be like.

"And no copies of this letter have been sent to anybody else. You now hold the only copy in your hands. It is a strictly private letter from me to the people of Drake..." What happened?

Depending on what you mean by "young," I respectfully disagree. Highschool? Middleschool? College? All of the above? Speaking for myself and the people I know (early twenties, college-educated kids), condoms are pretty common place. A lot m

I do see a market with this, but it's got a lot of problems you'd need to navigate. Nothing a smart team couldn't figure out. Most of the time, men trust women when they say they're on birth control. Women get pregnant--a big deal. It's les

Props to the writer for going out an getting the interview on a great story: possible cure for viruses project diagnosed with lethal lack of funding. But there are some "questions" to not ask in a news interview: "Oh, wow. That’s an amazing

I actually kind of of don't like techcrunch's coverage of this event. Give us one page with extended coverage or run the risk of being labeled YC's PR department. Don't get me wrong, I devoured all of it. But part of me likes the idea of th
