   http://www.codecademy.com is an interesting site for learning how to code. It is definitely worth a look. Also, http://github.com is a great place to store your code while you learn and after you learn.

   It is probably not in YC's best interest to steal ideas. If YC started stealing ideas, they would lose trust of the startup community. Then the best people would stop pitching to YC.

    A few years ago, being a data company was not the "cool" thing. Back then, it was cool to be a social site. Thus, I think Twitter and Facebook correctly considered themselves social sites. I am guessing that in the companies early days,

    Unfortunately, I would probably agree. Right now, big data means very little. The buzzwords may come and go, but the ability to extract useful information from data is here to stay. Honestly, extracting useful information has always been

    I previously launched this product to see if anyone would like it. The site got more hits than I expected so I decided to make some updates and relaunch. Here is my previous Hacker News post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3334424

    Personally, I just hoped people would vote multiple times on the same idea. Anyhow, you may have seen all the ideas in just a few minutes. When you left this comment there were not many ideas. Thanks

    I originally started the site because I was planning to add the features it is currently missing. I got side tracked and never finished. So instead of letting the code die, I decided to launch it, as is. It turned out to not be a very goo
