If you're really going to a lot of developer events, and rinsing your network to its fullest extent then I'd suggest keep trying. Assuming you're talking about hiring developers for market rate, then you should have success eventually. You

I strongly disagree with this. I've been reading HN for years, and often don't pay much attention to who has written or posted the articles. I just scan down, click on whatever catches my attention, and read. I'd hesitate to say that social

Early stage startup valuations are a guessing game at the best of times, but if you haven't even got as far as a knowing your product, then you'll have a particularly difficult job in justifying a valuation of any amount. So I would say, ho

Three months is not much time at all to deal with a situation of this magnitude. Be patient with yourself, and give yourself a lot more time. In my own personal experience, it took 2 years to deal with losing somebody close to me. Even afte

Personally I find the main danger is procrastinating without realising it. In other words, if I can't get to the site I was heading to, then that's enough of a nudge to regain my focus.

Hmmm. Thanks for reporting. Mixlr uses WebSockets when available (i.e., Chrome) and falls back to Flash, so this error probably means the WebSocket port was blocked for some reason, maybe a firewall. I agree the error message is a bit skewe

Thanks. I take your point about the license: it's a pretty generic one. I will look into that.
