So if someone decides to sell 1 bitcoin at $157, immediately the lowest price falls to $157, causes panic among other bitcoin-ers and they all start selling, is that how the market works? I am not sure what is going on, I placed an order to

What a timing. Going out to meet someone over coffee. Although I tend to buy coffee for the other person by invitation, "I would love to buy you coffee and chat about xyz".

The app seems to have pretty large customer base already. And I thought Show HN was for people to show-off their new products/features/hacks. Anyway, I still don't understand what it does that is unique compared to competition. From its des

I am somehow against people expecting me to write syntactical code at job interviews. I prefer to write pseudo code, explain my thought process. Being a guy who deals with various languages throughout the day makes it hard to code everythin

I like the tool they built here: http://www.teslamotors.com/true-cost-of-ownership , To be real, it looks like the 60kWh lease comes down to $859/m + taxes for most of us.

Mobile payments is such a hard push right now. It might be useful to both merchants and consumers to jump on board but man the technology barrier is the killer in getting anyone comfortable using it. We are toying around the idea of mobile

90% of the time you'd have to go through a phone interview. A recruiter from the company or someone will first like to speak to you. I never had an in-person job interview without someone speaking to me on phone. Unfortunately, the situatio

That is indeed an interesting look. Although I think as more merchants start accepting bitcoins (especially on international websites), a whole new wave of opportunity will open up.

At the same time I am seeing a lot of adoption. Especially in international markets.

Bitcoin definitely has potential. I doubt if it's in a bubble. Its a right mix of need and want for the global economy. It is also getting a lot of traction. As more enterprises adopt, the more its potential for disruption. [Disclaimer: I h

I doubt if there was any other case than the controversy. I doubt that the dev was any where incompetent. I say this simply because of the dev's interest in attending a conference and his company sponsoring it to him using forking and dongl

I think there is this huge expectation when it comes to sxsw for early stage startups. It's just a festival with lots and lots of people and that tends to attract both new and old companies to show off their products/talent. I was there too

I am curious to know how would one network at sxsw? Last year I was there, it was so hard to meet potential hires/investors. Is there a guide to network at large events like sxsw?

We use heroku at carddrop simply because it fits our requirements and we are comfortable with it. So far we haven't had any issues other than dynos idling (when we were on free account). We do serve quite decent traffic.
