You're right, but I'd be more concerned about ppl forgetting to cancel with a 30 day trial. A 14 day trial is short enough that it'll stay on users' minds.

This is amazing. How long did it take to spec + build? What's the background story?

BTW, I'm working on a webapp that needs subscription billing. Who'd you go with, and why?

That's the point- he only wants people that are seriously interested in using his service to sign up. Since giving him your credit card chased you away, you probably wouldn't have ever paid for the service. Be honest, are you his target dem

And if you're determined to get rid of it, you should not give it away- you should sell a chunk of it off for a substantial amount of money just so the incoming party has the same interest in making it work. In otherwords, who ever you give

If it's money you need (would you stay on if someone offered you an angel round?), consider asking for funding, kickstarter style. We're all very impressed, and we think you should stick with it.

This would be huge for people that have strong beliefs - especially religious beliefs. I think I read of an index fund that tracks compliant companies for a religious group. I think it could have been for Jewish or Muslim people - it's an a

Congrats- I'll have a beer for you!

Please, by god, kill the ads at the bottom of your sign up page. It makes me highly skeptical of your service, since you seem to be interested in making a quick buck.

I was seriously just considering ps3 vs xbox 360, Sony's just made my decision so easy. I'll never buy a thing from them again.

That can't be right, since the each point in the data is independent. In a 50/50 coin-flip game where you get 9 coins come up heads, the probability that the next coin flip results in tails is still 50%. What you need to understand is that

I don't want to be a dick, but you do have some amount of control over the probability of you winning the lottery. If you don't play, it becomes significantly more difficult to win.

No dude- you were right and he was wrong.
136.
by ssebro 16y ago
This is still wrong, since coin flips are independent events, and events that are totally independent can't affect each other's probability. I understand your reasoning, but it is flawed.

Does anyone else see that this offer will drastically change the tone and success rate of YC startups? Constraints (in the form of funding and time) were a large part of YC. Entrants got a low (but livable) amount of money and 3 months to c

I think you missed the point- he meant that the fact that you were able to immigrate probably means that you're not the average person. He's right- immigration is much easier if you're rich, smart or both. Also, I'm offended by your last se

Deals shouldn't be the focus of our discussion. Instead, we should be afraid of the fact that facebook can wield the power of the social graph (which it owns) to create extremely valuable wholly owned subsidiaries. Most startups that rely o

Ok- Everyone trying to use the google spreadsheet - this won't work. They aren't that good at supporting concurrent users. Instead, please try the facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_141079939271952 and get an ac

Guys, we need to use ONE central place for coordination. How about the facebook group posted by ritonlajoie? http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_141079939271952 I've joined...

It would be nice if we had a google form signup, so we could keep track of one another and what we are working on.

Oh, and by the time you're talking to devs who want to sign up, you will have a significant list of people who download anything you put in front of them- and that contact/email list is going to be your power-play.

I'm an iPhone developer, and I'm smack-dab in the center of your target market - just like drewcrawford.I actually had the same business idea that you're working on about 5 months ago, and decided not to pursue it. I love HN, so I'll share
