> can anyone explain to me why I am wrong Because you appear to misunderstand Clever. Clever is simply replacing the existing processor of schools having to coerce CSVs and other horrible formats and them them off (over email sometimes)

Schools have been buying applications since long before Clever. These are usually (but not always) gaint contracts across multiple schools or districts. after they are signed it can take months or sometimes full schoolyears to get the app p

While this is technically true, unlike our customers, our main job is the intergration. This gives us the benefit of doing some things our customers don't want to dedicate time or money to do. It also gives us a wider view of the syste

Last Spring, Clever was pitching me for a job (which full disclosure I accepted). I was dubious, edtech startups don't have the best track record, and they had barely gotten started (just got into YC). However after hearing the proble

This is an interesting move for Square, at least to me. When I think about the future of square I saw them pushing out against more established POS systems (with more deals like the Starbucks one). This is a slightly different route, the ma

When mapbox first launched tilemill was when I first discovered them. I read about them on here, and went to check it out. At the time I didn't really understand the value proposition. It was google maps without any of the useful API featur

Your critique seems to be based off comparing git to mercurial and declaring that git is designed better. I don't think you're going to see a ton of disagreement with that in this community. You make good points too, with context a lot of t

Just want to be clear, I am not the developer behind this. I found this and was looking for discussion on HN about it because it was quite impressive. I wasn't able to find it by searching so I submitted it in hopes that it would take me to

by templaedhel 14y ago
I actually submitted it trying to find a discussion, since I was having trouble searching for it. When it created a new story instead of linking to the past discussion I assumed it was new. Sorry about that!

I feel like confirmation bias is in play when you read about successful people who have dropped out of school, succeed, and then blogged about it. You have to keep in mind the hordes of people who have followeded a similar path only to arch

This is awesome! I've been tossing this kind of idea around for awhile, because every once and awhile I find myself browsing hipmunk for "cheap flights today" to see if there's anything interesting, and a UI with the express purpose of sell

Aaron was someone who I only knew tangentially until yesterday, and now can only wish that wasn't the case. I happened to be with some people who knew him much better than I did, and I could only imagine how they're handling this. Aaron was

Github is great, they're working on some serious problems, and every service has downtime. But this is getting pretty serious. This is the 3rd time in these last few weeks there has been a "significant service outage" So much of a typical d

As good as your tool may be, HN generally frowns on linkspam and SEO "hacking", and you happen to have placed yourself in the worst possible intersection of both.

I came here to say this exactly, and was a little disappointed to see the mixed bag of filepicker impressions. Filepicker is awesome. At my job I just had to implement direct to s3 uploads, and filepicker cut down the work by 10x. It's basi

Please don't mess with scrolling. I'm not trying to be one of the neckbeards who complain about edge cases (it doesn't work with my emacs scroll bindings on my custom build of Lynx, etc), but: It doesn't work. Trying to override native beha

I've followed snapjoy since they first came out, one of my favorite YC companies. They'd been radio silent for quite some time and I was afraid they'd faded away, so this is great news. Now if they can get facial recognition and geotagging

I'm sure Al3x will find success wherever he ends up. This is worrisome for Simple though. I signed up a little over 2 years ago as when Al3x announced he was joining as a cofounder http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1355292 , it seemed li
