To be honest, I have a hard time feeling bad for Craig. Craigslist made him millions (yes, yes, we all know the story about how he wants to keep CL intentionally small, spurning potential hundreds of millions in profits - but still, he's a

Google didn't buy Youtube out of goodness of their hearts. If it wasn't them, I'm sure there was plenty of other companies that were looking to purchase, and I'm sure at least some of them have the necessary resources to deal with bandwidth

You described it in very negative terms, but I don't think it's necessarily that way. Humans are social creatures, and can't help it but judge someone they have no other information about based on the clothes. If you're happy because you're

This is a good idea, but maybe there's a way for you to display some data before signing up? Right now, there's nothing on the site at all except for the form requesting my information. After I submit it, there's a message there's not enoug

Don't forget "anti-semitic". And before anyone even has the audacity to say "it's anti-Israel, not anti-semitic", this: http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/ccnir/im_gonna_get...

I've been here from the beginning, and I disagree almost entirely. In my opinion, the quality of this community stayed remarkably high from the earliest days. While Reddit became a sad, sad place where dissenting opinions are quickly shut d

First of all, congratulations to Koduco, this looks great, and I mean absolutely no offense to them or YC by this post. But... this is really getting old. It seems like EVERY SINGLE YC startup is being featured on Techcrunch. How many iPhon

My list is pretty similar to this one, with a couple of differences: 1) I tend to write down everything first. I realize that it could be a risk of creating something that doesn't take off, but for me it's a bigger risk to lose the idea ent

I'm really curious for the purpose of this question. Are you trying to find the most popular language of choice among HN hackers that have their own startup? Shouldn't you at least mention "and what does your startup do"? Or at this point,

In most third world countries, unemployed don't have that one, or any other cheap distractions for that matter.

That is assuming we can't figure out how to make computers create on their own (which right now, does sound almost impossible). If at some point we figure it out, all humans become obsolete.

I realize that, that's what I've been doing. Maybe I'm just slow, and don't like action games.. the only games I've ever really liked are turn-based RPGs, strategy, and adventure.. so I'm probably not the target audience for this anyway.

You need to tweak the speed - this is completely unplayable on my Macbook with 4GB of RAM and an SSD hard drive. Copter crashes in a second before I can do anything. But looks cool!

The most important quality for the designer is to have artistic taste. Try to objectively figure it out if you have it. Do you regularly get complimented on your clothing choices? Do you always match colors? Does your apartment look cool (i

One of the reasons I come to Hacker News is to escape exactly from this kind of news. Please, let's not have this place tainted by political flame wars.

Kudos to Google for understanding this and cutting their losses (relatively) early. I remember reading about their effort to cut down on useless products and focusing on the core search/AdWords/Gmail/etc, this is the effect of that. I reall

I have read the article and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it, even though I disagree with about 99.99% of it (as probably all New Yorkers do) This is a brilliant move from PR point of view. It invoked feelings of Andy Kaufman from me, becau

The article is not loading for me (server overload?), but if that's a quote from the article I'm glad I didn't read it. New York is not the financial district, it's not Wall Street, it's not Williamsburg, it's not Astoria, it's not Coney Is

People have tried, Apple did not approve due to "adult" content. I doubt this one will get approved, either.

Yep. I think it's a valuable business lesson: unless you know what your plan to make money is, don't announce that your attitude is "ads are bad". Although I think they'll figure out how to make money, this situation could've been avoided i
