I think it looks great, just a few thoughts (mostly on UX/UI): 1. You probably can do without the tag separating the head and the rest of the body on the landing page 2. I see a si…

Interesting quote from article: The hacker ethos is also classically male. "Being concerned with appearance, shopping for clothes and decorating your house are feminine values. Tec…

True story that happened to me: while trying to look up information for a restaurant reservation, I found some security issue that would redirect user to an obscure host name. I th…

I recently (3 weeks ago) quit my day job to pursue my own startup product full time. Believe me, 3 weeks with a full-time focus was about 3 to 6 months part time with a day job. It…

The sites looks good. Is the signup page (and CC processing) your own or are you using a service? It looks great--congrats!

I completely agree with @auganov. If OP hasn't looked at the map for a while, Asia definitely is HUGE :) Perhaps start with 1 country--the question would then become "How do you re…

I think Japan is definitely ready. Big cities in China is ready. But since the social classes gap is very wide between the rich and the poor and it may come as a surprise to a lot …

As a Vietnamese American, I've always been interested in the Vietnam market since the number of internet user's growth is astounding! The country's literacy level is very high and …

If I understand your question correctly, it's "How would one go about implementing their own analytic engine?" I have looked into this question recently and here's what I know so f…

Ditto on the design and the mismatching of icons and messages. Those slides don't really seem to help your case here. But I'm also concerned with the language usages ("Stop hiring …

I don't know why, but I always get a good chuckle or two from reading or watching Linus' materials.

what blogging platform are you using for casualgirlgamer.com?

I honestly don't know perhaps instinct. I see a need and I feel that if I set out to solve that need, people would want it. Who knows, but I need to believe that what I am doing is…

Soon enough, my friend. I'll be back in another month. I'm going commando (the Vietcong style, not the nude style of course) for the next month hopefully. When that time comes, I w…

I think the word "ever" denotes too much absolution. Sure, never say never (arrgh! Beiber); Obama definitely isn't a hacker in software, but he definitely hacked the ways president…

I've always read other people's proclamation here on HN. Today, I am doing mine: I'm 28 years old and my wife thinks we should have kids in a few years. I've been working for a few…

what are you using for your credit card processing page (order page)?

What kind of programming languages/stack are you more familiar with? Usually, Wordpress should really fit all your blogging needs. It's easy and has a lot of SEO tools to go with i…

I actually have this debate with myself every time I think that I am close to the point of deploying my work (heh, that's another story). But every time I do the calculation, I jus…

Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your story. Reading it reminds me a lot about some of the "wild" decisions I've made along the way. I was also my family's black sheep. M…

Same with me here. I switched from using CakePHP to Django and haven't touched any PHP since. I would highly recommend Django. With that being said, I think while development witho…

@martinshen Great job on the site. Congrats. It looks very slick. Here's a few things that could probably help make it even more awesome: 1. Rich text editing capability for descri…

I'll definitely give that a try next time that excuse comes up.

"I don't imagine you have any questions, so I won't even ask. Good luck, gentlemen. I'll see you in the air. Class dismissed. " Awesome!
