As an avid wine drinker, who has been around the world and tried wines from every country... Get recommendations, try a bottle, and try something new all the time. It's to be an experience, it's not just a beverage.

I have no idea how my wife deals with me working 60+ hours... of the 5 years we've been together, 3 have been in "start-up land"...

because the content is good and original - not like most of the other dailies / content farms out there... as a subscriber - love it!

I'm sure they didn't spend all the $5.25m on this business idea - and likely have lots left. I wonder how they came to the decision to shut it down and pivot - I think that's they key here that's missing...

Best wishes this holiday season. Enjoy the time off with your family, and I'm sure (along with everyone else here) things will turn up in 2013 with a little work searching... :)

How would consumers find out about you? If I buy something online, I would call merchant first, then bank. How would I find out to use you first vs. going to merchant and/or bank? Thanks!

How is GrubHub valued at over $300m? Can someone walk me through that? Where do you even start?

Yeah, it's weird. I'm on a Mac, and use my own Wifi. I suspect it's my ISP's DNS... but never really bothered to followup. It's funny because sometimes if I go to facebook.com, it pops up with an SSL error - saying the site certificate belo

I've noticed that a lot of sites I visit (facebook, etc.) redirect to the wrong site. I think this is a DNS issue... and even though I change to 8.8.8.8, the problem still persists... Does anyone else notice this issue? Happens usually once

I love this line: You should only be working on two things. Talking to users. And making features. :)

Canada Post is pretty stupid on this one. Even if you type a postal code into Google Maps you get a result. I could imagine how old and stupid the gov't official is who filed that claim. Canada's a broke country, and the latest government b

TL;DR: "So what the hell are you doing buying a computer?" he demanded. "You know, Jim, I've seen a lot more businesses go broke because they didn't have enough sales than I've seen go under from lack of computers. Why don't you work on fir

This is my first submission to HN. In startups, I think we by-pass a lot of the traditional schools of thought and jump directly into hacks/objects/apps/fixes which we consider "startups." As a startup myself, I've lost sight of the most im

I'm an accountant. And it is fraud. Andrew Mason is basically a newer version of Bernie Madoff. Except Andrew publicly runs a ponzi scheme... AND overinflates share valuation to pump & dump his shares. LOL. If he and his CFO aren't in j

Why is no one calling this out as FRAUD? They clearly and intentionally inflated results... a 200% difference off net income. Why is the SEC and FBI not investigating? And why are there no class-action lawsuits coming together already?

Great idea! It would be like leasing any other "asset" (car, boat, office space, etc.). My only concern is: with a car, boat, office space, etc., if the lessor renegs on the lease, the lessee can likely pursue another lease/purchase on anot

According to the website, "They hope to monetize their product by selling their simple communication system to school administrators". So this chart shows an increasing number of non-monetizable members... and doesn't show growth in their c

It would be awesome if they could compare (or map) this course list to what would be typically taught by a University-level Computer Science program... I'm not interested in earning a degree/certification, rather I'd want to take these cour
