I wish I had another option but Comcast is really the only option around me. What have others done to try to get on a respectable broadband connection?

it seem to be a little similar to Ping.fm but that is mostly focused on twitter like services.

I think with most of the groups you know the basics of the offer ahead of time.

by wastedbrains 18y ago
This happened with us, We applied to 3 groups and were accepted into two and asked to interview at YC. All the seed groups were pretty cool about it. The first groups deadline was so early, we wouldn't have known about offers from the two o

There seems to be a lot of game sites coming out lately. I guess they all seem very much like kongregate to me. This one seems to be more focused on multi player though which is nice. Wonder if they will go for traditional games like chess,

bad headline since it is only talking about paying users.

I actually quit using stumbleupon but I had heard that it wasn't getting updates that frequently and that their growth rate has been slowing down a lot. Doing a quick search I didn't see anyone stating bad things about it, so I don't have a

I ended up giving a nickname to a coworker like that "destroyer of worlds" Then I got him bumped to a another team for awhile. Then he ended up back on my team and I eventually quit. In my exit interview I mentioned him.I am sorry but keepi

Isn't StubleUpon doing pretty poorly now a days anyway?

great that was my only complaint on an otherwise very nice looking feature.

Great post, you discovered a bunch of the gotchas faster than we did on our first rails site. I wish I would have had a post like that a year ago. Thanks

I had this through nuevasync.com which was pretty awesome. I want to support them as a startup but this is all they did, and so what if they did it 2 months ago, google now does it and I am far less worried about google disappearing than I

What differences did you find?

by wastedbrains 18y ago
You got that right! Not new at all, I was always confused that it took so long for all the media companies to realize you could do the 'exact same' advertising for online video as you did with TV. Just let people watch when ever they want o

Yeah I have been coming and participating in this community for a very long time, but I am just not that incredibly active. I don't post many stories, and I don't comment very often. It is funny how many times the HN community it trying to

Yeah many times when you are 'spiking' and idea you can work through a simple small example fastest without testing. I agree when you are quickly just trying to see if something is possible testing will slow you down, and isn't worth the be

We are very test focused, but I wouldn't claim we are TDD. We also have layers of testing which I consider important. We have a quick set of unit tests that we run before very check in (10 seconds). Next our CI kicks off after check in an

that is great, I was sad when they shut off iphone iGoolge just cause that is how i kept my task synced... now a truly supported version with a better interface should make keeping my todo list up to date much easier.

The more I use git the more impressed I am with it. We now use git to control access and distribution of distributed files. Previously we did that via NFS, but git was cleaner and simpler to manage access restrictions.

I would love to take this course. Starcraft has got to be the only game that after 10 years I still frequently play.

Sorry. I typed it all out quickly, I kind of in a rush to get back to some coding. I also called it 'Google Gears' and not it is only called 'Gears' I am not really one to follow or believe in grammar for a simple link though, but I will sa
