Best way to do this is to re-label IE "DO NOT USE" and re-label FF/Chrome/Seamonkey "Internet".

I remember you telling me about Onista at the YC offices back at Startup School '07.

How about a twitter list for Hacker News members? @mattwensing here.

I think he just meant you're not indicative of a large population. The article is about boys generally, not particular ones that don't do their homework but do well on tests.

I'm fairly convinced that college will be obsolete by the time my children are old enough to attend. World shrinking fast, and don't forget about smart siblings.

I flew first-class for the first time last year and couldn't believe what I had been missing (I always thought the best part would be the seats or service).

"except at Google" It dawned on me at my last cube farm that some companies really are like high school, while others are like college.

OT, what year was that?

I am literally in the process of changing out Stormpulse.com's maps for something higher res (BlueMarble at 500m), and this shows up. Awesome!

We're using them. Happy for two reasons: 1. Easy to use and 2. Very responsive and helpful as a company.

Now just imagine if we had a post-mortem on every one that said 'closed'.

OT, but why did you use a backtick for your 'quotes'? Is that an OS or keyboard thing, or a personal preference, or what? I've never been able to determine the rhyme or reason on that.

As a Christian that accepts climate change as fact, I will add that much of the resistance from the Bible belt comes from the misconception that climate change is necessarily a doomsday, end of the world event. Christians obviously have the

In a business relationship, even if it's a totally impromptu coffee break, the man should have offered to buy him one. Anything else is either cheap or inconsiderate or at least unschooled in the way of proper manners.

I've been wanting to fund our startup (Stormpulse.com) with a kickstarter project. Can I get an invite?

That contradicts a lot of sentiment on HN. I define risk as the unknown part of the equation. In that sense, startups (particularly the customer development types) are in the business of flushing out risk through validation before action

The company‘s revenue model has yet to be tested. We believe that most revenue generation options available to the company have the potential to alienate at least some of Twitter‘s user base. Twitter may not have adequate time to revise it

Not defending the attitude, but wrt fostering a better attitude on HN towards YC-startups, maybe some "Meet the founders" threads would help? Purpose: provide HN readers a chance to offer constructive criticism to YC-startups early on, and

"As the lead developer..." Great example of why I love HN (and IRC).

Startups should be very risk averse. One misstep can mean death. Remember, being bold when you recognize a valid opportunity is not the same thing as taking on risk. Risk comes from the unknown. As such, you aren't really rewarded in pr

Will be interesting to see if they innovate on the warm lead the way YC has.

The design feels very clunky. I could be wrong, but my gut reaction is that the spacing seems off, colors seem off, font-sizes seem off, and the visual hierarchy isn't immediately apparent. Fix those minor quibbles and I think you've got

I love it. We generate weather updates, which I'm used to hearing read by automated voices anyway. Now it's like we have our own staff of robots to do the same: http://tweetrad.io/?q=from%3Astormpulse Awesome.
