Interesting concept, if the balance can get figured out right (making sure customers or devs aren't getting screwed). There should also be a discussion section. For example, I see: >Can't find good replacement for expensive acc

I think you offer solid advice but I don't think the original author was saying "I want to be lazy". They were saying "I don't have that much time", which is totally different. There are solutions popping up th

In Texas, they are allowed to give you a DUI even of you pass all sobriety tests; they leave it up to the officer to determine intoxication even if there is none present. Another fun fact in Texas: you don't have to be driving to get a

I did a quick search through the comments on here that the OP (@mrcabada) has made. While this sort of snooping is rarely pleasant for the party being snooped, I hope this is helpful. Mr. Cabada, I believe the most impactful thing you can d

check out Cornell Tech :) http://tech.cornell.edu/ I graduated from the first class. I'm sure it's not a 100% match to what you were thinking, but I see a lot of similarities.

The RFS list is strong, but general. Are you excited about any specific ideas for the S16 batch? If so - what and why? (genuinely curious. Already applied... so I can't go and change the idea now :) )

The video you've done / pointing out the current status on this crowded space -- really nice. I don't love the onboarding (too many barriers to getting started) but you guys seem like smart guys. I'm sure there's a

The price differences over time aren't what's made outsourcing fail over time. And it's not outsourcing... It IS the misalignment of goals. Clients fail when... They feel like they're paying someone to do something, so t

I think you picked a great way to present this -- the strategy between how and where (HN specific) is great. I love when designers can think this way. Kudos, and good luck. I hope PG himself, or someone from YC, contacts you :)
