   So I'm one of the co-founders of Skyara. We worked pretty hard to set up this event and would hate to see it go unnoticed. We actually haven't even met Ron ourselves and we're giving away a chance for a lucky startup to meet him so we think

   Just a thought, you can consider teaching design which allows you to meet customers and give back to the community. http://skyara.com shameless self plug :)

   "while investors reportedly signed a check for close to $30 million for a niche blogging site called Tumblr" Last I checked, Tumblr was on the 100 most visited websites list. That's pretty good for a "niche" blogging site. This story is pur

   This is the best article I've read on the subject so far, short of the actual scientific publication. I like how the author dives deep enough to give a you a good understanding of what actually took place while not making it sound like a sc

   heh if this takes off, I can imagine almost every aggregator site having a HN clone of some sort.

   Any idea how Airbnb actually implements the craigslist posting? Yes it's auto submission, but with craigslist's new security measures and login requirements, that looks really hard to do purely from a URL standpoint. I'm almost wondering if

    The problem is that the time it takes a startup to succeed is different for every type of startup so it's hard to come up with a rule of when you should quit and give up. There have been plenty of startups that started out slow and then exp

    it's sad that even though the domain is worth so much, people simply still just put advertising on it. C'mon, give us a decent sex site at least. Just sayin.

    Just like how there are a million lines of code that could be improved, there are always a million design tweaks that can happen. Nothing is ever perfect the first time. As a designer, I often have just as much work as the engineer. I also

    I guess what I meant was that it would make the hype that Deep Blue got at the time seem like a joke, since I believe Starcraft is an immensely more complicated game. And I disagree that insane micromanagement will win the game. In the open

    Yah this is kinda cool, but hardly practical in terms of any real game play. Also, I think the beauty of starcraft is that it is extremely hard to master due to the complexity involved. Like chess, there are standard opening moves but beyon

    I seriously can't even begin to describe how awesome this is. Minecraft is what second life should've been, a complete virtual environment where people can manipulate things however they like.

    Werd. GO BIG RED. Tho I think Cornell Engineering is starting to get better and better. I just wish they had a CS program that was better tailored for startups instead of like quant trading and stuff.

    Thanks for all the responses, I don't want to give away too many specifics as of yet since we're still waiting to publicly launch. But I definitely appreciate the thoughtful comments everyone's given. Our industry is in the outdoors market

    Thanks for the response. Yah we've considered meeting with the small businesses individually but that's just really time intensive. But we'll definitely take it into consideration.

    This was a fun little app that I built in 6 hours on a Sunday. Add your own text after the domain URL and it'll appear on the G6 Plane. The App was built using rails and rmagick, the image manipulation actually took a lot longer than expect
