Good link, but it's a 58-page slideshow. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqzcCfUglws for a slightly more applied explanation.

Good find. The background on how we got to this point is really interesting. I think it's fascinating how use cases and the functionality evolve over time. Really puts a stake in the heart of the idea of the magical unicorn visionary p

This is a great writeup. It's not as FUD-y as other's I've seen. https://bitcoinfoundation.org/2014/06/13/centralized-mining/ is another good read. Where OP's link is more technical,

This is a sales pitch. There's no actual content, and OP is a 12-day old account with only links to coursmos.com :( https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=Julia_Eremina

Awesome. Reminds me of "Trust Me, I'm Lying". I don't recommend using any of the techniques in the book, but if you're interested in media, the book provides a unique view into the guts of the system. http:/&#

Yeah, it's a bit disingenuous. I like cross-platform toolkits, and I like native code, but you're right about missing the weight of profit. Lies, damn lies, and statistics, right?

It's really really hard to get companies to care about accessibility. I have a background in accessible web coding, Section 508 accessibility stuff, and I've seen how people think about accessibility. Basically -- they don't.

This reminds me of something I've noticed... Apple has had a big effect on corporate folks. They see the awesome stuff happening on their personal devices, and they look at internal systems and say "why can't it work as well

That's a cool experiment. Feels like something from Getting Things Done, which is a great book. Also kind of feels like Ben Franklin-ish, who made very specific and conscious attempts to improve himself. Are you doing this, or did you

Good post. This is why I like screencasts. Writeups are a version of reality. Unfortunately writeups are faster to produce. Trade offs!!

Yup. Mattermark is great. This is sort of dipping a toe in the water. Maybe we should start doing leadgen for Mattermark ;)

There's definitely opportunities with AngelList's data as well. Please let me know if you start finding some clever use cases, I love knowing how these tools end up being used! tim @ my-HN-username . com

I get an imgur or Brightcove-for-images vibe. If you're going for the first and your target is Reddit/similar, good job. If you're going for the second, then it needs a lot more.

I would ask friends and family for recommendations. Someone could be useless and have a great website. Similarly, someone might be so good at getting business from word of mouth that they don't need a website. FWIW Berkshire Hathaway h

I wish this blog was still active. This was a good post, and there are some others too. Nothing actionable, but it does a nice job of explaining business history, and that's valuable.

There's something very true about this. I have a mentor who can be very 'direct'. Similarly to Jobs, he's extremely busy. There are a lot of people who don't like him. I understand why, but I've also learned an

With all due respect, where does this Rule #4 come from? I feel like this is the most authoritative list of the Agile rules http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html and this rule isn't on there. I saw that OP is the C

Are you the author? I love the "Do not deify technology or assign salvific powers to Technology". I think you could write a whole blog post on that subject alone. Agile alone has been overpromised by so many people (consultants),

Respectfully... Investing seems like it is fun and easy to a lot of people who haven't done it. I'm not saying it is or isn't, I'm only saying that there's a perception that it's a fun and easy job. That perc

Anyone want to brainstorm on the strategic issues here? This had to have been a long development schedule. MS has been pushing their own phone for so long, taking their product to iOS is a big thing. Reminds me of when they initially took O

Does this mean that Bitcoin are more legit now and will be picked up by more institutions, or since the IRS doesn't consider Bitcoin a currency, will that stop companies from using it (for regulatory reasons?)

This is rad. Instead of paying a currency tax rate, you can pay the lower/long-term capital gains rate. Does this mean that Bitcoin are more legit now and will be picked up by more institutions, or since the IRS doesn't consider B
