why should it be worthwhile and why should it add value to society? if registering were free i'd see your point or if not everybody were allowed to register how would you play foot…

some say that the future will be app-based and that domain-names and tlds will be a thing of the past, we'll see. I know a lot of people who say they hate squatters, then they have…

Yes it's mind-boggling, e.g.: Bayern Munich is valued at $1.2 billion http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17769654 What I don't get: couldn't you build something like Evernote fo…

Maybe you can register a domain or add a directory to an existing domain of yours where you create a project page. You can blog about your progress, you can offer adspace on your p…

Kickstarter let's you basically preorder a product that lacks investors. Being a startup investor has become the game rich people love to play. There are people who'll fund anythin…

How is the service able to verify the key? In the screenshots it says "Could not decrypt data (Wrong key ?)" Shouldn't a wrong key decrypt the text to just unreadable garbage?

This has nothing to do with their politics, it is simply the fact that they offer an alternative, people will vote for them because they don't feel represented by the other parties…

I've got the feeling that because of the Google/Apple/Microsoft-rivalry a lot a companies are bought just so that the others don't get them. Company X wants to buy this popular sta…

I can't stand the "good enough" crowd, I hate it when people aim for mediocrity. It takes the same amount of time and energy to go from zero to "OK" as from "OK" to "good". From "g…

Exactly! Good record labels book venues, organize travel, handle the legal stuff like insurance etc, they are well connected and know people at the radio stations and know the blog…

The technology is awesome but the commercial I saw yesterday doesn't do it justice. Show someone repairing a car and the glasses display vital information while both hands are some…

I honestly don't see a market for every day use like they show it in this video. If I saw this on the streets right now I'd get a "bluetooth-headset-douchebag"-vibe

They ask it because they have a cool product but don't know how to use it. I doubt it will be used the way they promote it, this is cool stuff you come up with when you are brainst…

No, it's not over. Not yet. I think only a small percentage of developers make $50k / year per game/app. And Stage3 is way ahead of what one day hopefully WebGL will offer. There's…

It's still a long way to compete with Flash in the area of games but it's nice to see this effort. When I talked to Flash developers, their main concerns were having to worry about…

I first saw pictures made by Timur Civan with a similar technique and an even older lens: http://colt-rane.com/timur-civan-1908-wollensak-35mm-f50-cin...

I stopped using it because I just hate that I'm logged in to googlesearch and YouTube automatically. While some interesting people post on g+ it's more a blogplatform, the contenta…

i had a similar problem: I worked on several projects parallel, had sheet after sheet with notes of "awesome" ideas, was interested in everything, read photography-blogs to recipe-…

if you are an investor and you don't have a look at the team behind an ambitious and promising idea you will soon run out of money, this is nothing Yc-specific. edit: ok, another t…

the core surely is anti-commercial but the main subreddits like r/funny or r/pics and the like are so huge that the majority consists of "normal" internet-consumers that visit othe…

sorry for not being clear: not the people running OMGPOP were lucky, the investors were, they just couldn't have known how things turned out to be. When they invested in the initia…

because they are very concerned about annoying/destroying the community. in the hands of a purely profit-oriented company they would make enormous amounts of money and milk the sit…

Yes, but this one was pure luck. They didn't plan on building games for android and iOS. I remember them for being a 100% flash-site that offered a mediocre tetris-clone until they…

I always wondered what apple's plans were for the next 10 years. The iPad is close to perfection, the next iterations surely will improve but only slightly and in maybe 3 or 4 year…

how many percent of customers would the other carriers lose if apple made the iphones/ipads apple-carrier-only?
