Cutting the feature set is by far the best way to speed up your launch time. And you'll get a huge amount of new perspective on what features are really necessary once the product is out there with people using it. So, take a good hard look

A lot of missing tweets are still turning up in the search timeline. You can find tweets like that with tweleted - http://tweleted.com/ - looks like that solves the problem for @tonido

Agreed. If you're doing one tiny board, save the effort and use veroboard. For anything above that, get it printed.

We submitted on Monday with a simple photo booth video made in a cafe. It was just of us talking about the project and ourselves. Took us about 20 minutes from start to finish - may as well do it!

If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up after 10 hours of sleep. If I go to bed at 5am, I wake up after 7. If you're really looking to maximize your waking time, it's not about getting up early, it's about finding your most productive patter

Lawrence Lessig did a speech a while ago about the read-write web: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xbRE_H5hoU In that, he talks about how, when the phonograph came out, people were up-in-arms that it would destroy the performance and enj

Even though I consider myself a completely rational person, I still make dumb decisions and weigh alternatives with completely biased probabilities. And while I still do it, at least I recognize it now.

If you haven't read his book, I highly recommend it. Also, he gave a great speech at sxsw a few years ago: http://server1.sxsw.com/2006/coverage/SXSW06.INT.20060311.Da... It changed my life

Eww.. read Farolito's health score card and see if you still want to go back there. Walk two blocks west to Papalote's - 24th and Valencia. IMHO, best (cheap) burritos in SF.

Rated up for the awesomeness of the app. It's cool to see freebase put to use like this. It gets my cogs moving about other potential uses...

Wow.. There's a lot of hate going on here. If you don't like it, don't use it. I would have thought that the HN community would appreciate this solely for the novelty factor.
