I make the same observation. My friends that own restaurants often talk about Yelp messing with their reviews and not showing the good ones. Myself, as someone that usually just uses Yelp to find a place to eat, I find it very useful and ha

Although I have done pretty well at actually launching various projects (5 to date) only one has gotten any traction (200-400 users a day). The one with traction hasn't seen any growth and I haven't been able to figure a good path

We recently left a private beta and made a substantial pivot. We originally were a "product hunt for music" but now we are focused on being a comprehensive music service using streaming music from YouTube, SoundCloud and Vimeo as

I don't think "streaming music startup" implies copyright infringement. There are certainly mp3s on websites that are not infringing on any copyright. I think this situation might be similar to google/images rather than

That is my intuition on this as well. YouTube is allowed to continually play 'wack-a-mole' with people putting up copyrighted material. I don't see why it would be any different with SeeqPod indexing it. Further, Google proba

I haven't had my morning coffee and I misread 'reply' as the username and thought you were having a big, multi-threaded conversation with yourself. :) I even vaguely thought 'is that guy's name reply?'

I actually do remember something about that also. But, I've also noticed it when I open an incognito tab, so I'm just going to their landing page and not signed in.

We now have support for the posting of any Swift language related link. Previously, our policy was to remove links that didn't point directly to a tutorial. Now we have a new section '/news' which houses all the non-tuto

Hi Kevin and Sam, We are working on a new version of http://www.muusical.com . The new version is a significant change. It is going to be a free Spotify that is powered by a crowdsourcing platform where users add the music and me

Yes, value is subjective. I basically agree, just wondering why you wrote your comment. Taxes make value in the same way as someone putting a gun to my head and saying they will shoot me unless I give them a rusty nail. In that moment, a ru

I haven't really thought about the idea of pegging crypto-currencies to something. I'm trying to think how this works and keep running into some walls. In the case of this article, my presumption is that basically this company is

I'm just reading about this for the first time but this is how I'm seeing it as well. My first guess is that it isn't as much about being anonymous as Bitcoin and more about (1) being able to buy gold more easily and (2) havi

You are comparing vinyl to film but in the way you are doing it you are implicitly comparing the experience of the consumer of the audio with the producer of the image. It is interesting though, that the "analog vs. digital" takes

I would say that being a developer on average doesn't give any special ability to evaluate the probability of success of an early stage startup. And if you don't have an special ability to evaluate the probability of success, 1&#x

Are you arguing that if supply increases in a real market the prices won't go down?

If I understood his argument, I think he was saying that only non rent controlled apartments are factored into things like average rental price. So, in this case, the rent controlled properties are basically just not part of the market righ

I have thought the same thing about these types of products but the other day I realized that I pass through several of these electronic deadbolt type door locks at work every day. So maybe the mechanical stability aspect of this is already

What I'm driving at is a product level change. I think some of the product changes like the addition of "Show HN" did come from grassroots requests from the users. I could be mistaken but I see that given a certain product th

Good point. #1 was obviously wrong, I guess I just put it there to give more meat to the post.

I'm not sure why an interpretation which would lead to a better HN wouldn't also be worth having? I just flat out disagree with your analysis of my first two "net negative" comments. But I doubt anything would be more bo
