Does it seem like insanity to anyone else that portable electronic devices would have any impact on a plane in flight? Even a cell phone. How poorly designed would a plane have to be to be affected by that stuff? Honestly, the requirement m

Having worked with smaller teams in open plans, and now being in a coworking space, I have to say, I don't like it. It's really easy to get distracted by the smallest movement around you, or someone having a phone call, or two people laughi

The logo is O.K. Their homepage http://microsoft.com looks like a mix between a "corporate" website template you'd buy for $50 and a domain squatting page with amazon referral links. Gosh I want to cheer for microsoft but they make it rea

This reminded me of something I did a while ago. For fun, here's a never before seen concept of customer.io. We went in a very different direction. "When fred wilson stops by your site..." https://img.skitch.com/20120823-b1hqqqssee4khwxjbm

Bootstrap has been an invaluable asset for building our MVP. I'm glad we got rid of the top bar, and very few people actually think we use bootstrap. But it affords us wonderful defaults for tables, buttons, menus, modals etc. If the team m

I can attest to the "Nobody wants email" myth being a myth. We started with a "Sign up to find out when we launch" form on our startup page and never planned to email until we launched. (Big mistake) About 3 months in, with the encouragemen

I haven't made the jump from arrows to hjkl. My cofounder's keyboard is arrowless, but my HHKB lite still has the arrows. Maybe in another 5 years I'll make the switch.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I've been using vim for 6 months, but I still feel like a n00b. Looking forward to checking this out. I started my vim experience using Janus But I didn't understand how anything worked or why any of the plugins

For those of you considering building one, what's great about all of these in the article is the difference in height between the monitor and the keyboard. This benefit for ergonomics can't be overstated. If you already have a desk / work i

Thanks! That's helpful. Odd that HN didn't bounce me to that thread and count it as an upvote.

Tip number 1 is something you should always do in emails. Framing it from the point of view of the recipient is way more effective than talking about yourself. Unsurprisingly, we all love to say "I" and "we" more than "you"

How would that process work? Check gets deposited in ABC bank (issued by XYZ bank). ABC bank sends a scan of the check to XYZ bank. And XYZ bank has an employee whose job it is to look at every inbound check to make sure the signature match

As far as I know, there are just 2 things preventing fraudulent checks: 1. Obscurity : Someone has to know your account number and routing code. 2. ... Ah, make that just one thing preventing fraudulent checks. It's scary. Any legitimate ch

My AT&T plan ended a couple of weeks ago. I was considering buying a Virgin Mobile iPhone and reselling it when the iPhone 5 came out, but this seems like a better way to bide my time. Googling for things like "iPhone ATT prepaid" didn'

Agreed. My goal used to be to create something that my friends would use. I hated "enterprise" software. Thought it was bloated and ugly. Then I saw 37s. I grew tired of B2C software. Now I'm working on software I want all my peers to use.

One thing I do is start with something like 5 base colors and then in my stylesheets (with SASS), I lighten or darken those colors. Using this analysis it would appear that we're all over the place. But in reality there are subtle changes u

Helpful to understand what the responses mean, but what should you do when you hear this? Do you say: Can you introduce me to someone who would be better suited? OR Thanks for your time! How should an entrepreneur handle this response?

I want the NY Times to stay around, so I bought their digital delivery. What rubs me the wrong way is the arbitrary distinction between devices... You pay more for nytimes.com + iPhone + iPad. It's a little silly. Charge me 1 price regardle

Hi James. I now own a TV Licence. I'm in the US. Is it still pirating if I watch the BBC feed through a VPN? There's no higher cost of transmission for the BBC - they're sending it to a UK based IP and then I pay a monthly fee for that tran

I didn't know that. Now that'll be my pet peeve. Im guessing many people have only seen the + as a gmail hack to sign up multiple times on the same site.
