Git, Mercurial, Subversion...they all work on windows, although I would leave the hosting to a good old *nix machine.

I think the other way around is also hard, many startups require such diverse combination of skillsets that its hard to know what you should learn in order to be hirable. As college grad student I have no clue what to learn to get hired by

Banning Oracle from Windows won't happen with the EU sueing MS to oblivion. And I think Google banning oracle "from the internet aka its search engine" would do a lot more harm. Anyway I think the reasons of Oracle are still unknown so we j

You are right I'm a techy, I talk to people who run online businesses, they use PayPal and other methods. PayPal is by far the biggest problem when it comes to payment solutions. Also I'm from Europe, which means I talk to people who use th

Why are the names of Eric Reis and Steve Blank there? Are they involved? If not, make that more clear, else it looks to me like you are trying to sell your services by using their names to promote it..

He forgot to mention it has an extremely large number of false positives using that system. The reason it might work is because they take/freeze money from innocent customers. The amount of horror stories about Paypal significantly outnumbe

I've actually never seen anyone on the internet calling themselves a 'rockstar' or 'ninja' in a software related context. They always call others 'rockstars' or 'ninja's'

Having any logo which looks like a "security seal" boosts conversions by a percentage, I recommend to put something up, even if its a logo linking to your own page with information about the security using an A/B test to see if it works for

As much as I love seeing other people on video, this method of applying for jobs is not for everyone. Somehow I feel really uncomfortable when there are cameras pointing at me.

Can you tell a bit more about the startup scene in Seoul? In my experience Korean web companies are very focused on the local market or they make computer games (but don't hire international people).

by tomh- 16y ago
Can you elaborate on that great startup scene? I'm only aware of companies with relations to "thenextweb" and their founders, but don't hear a lot about other Amsterdam based startups that much. I'm not aware of any regular meetups or stuff

There is a bug in your code, my hn account ends on "-". Your routing system doesn't seem to recognize this.. Other than that, looks nice :)

Well, seems for this app, it would still have some stuff on it's checklist to check off...it indeed looks nice, but not very flexible to what designers might do.

Many advice here will be from people who are not aware of the Asian culture, hope you don't get too depressed by their responses. The truth is that your environment does matter! Just read this article: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/06/can-
