There's a pretty big difference between a diner in a small town and a global media/technology company. Both could be unprofitable, but only one has large potential upside in terms …

Do you have any data to back up your claim that New York is "substantially more sustainable than the rest of the US"? I'd be genuinely curious to look at that data

Remember when Mayer banned remote work at Yahoo? She still defends that choice even though she has clearly failed to prove her thesis that you need to sit next to someone collabora…

It's actually $30/mo minimum with Mailchimp's new pricing. $10/mo for the Mailchimp account + $20/mo for up to 25,000 monthly emails via Mandrill

I currently use Mandrill on about 6 projects, a few of them use templates, so I've got the added complexity of dealing with that, which sucks But, I'm not going to give Mailchimp m…

Good article. It provoked a thought: In an increasingly digital world, how long will physical proximity be an advantage? The notion that a region could somehow have its own brand o…

My first impression of min is that it looks nice. Really, for it's goals, it's pretty tight. As a branding thing, I'd change that URL. I get that it's short but minfwk.com doesn't …

I am on iOS 6. I've stopped upgrading (intentionally) because every iOS upgrade significantly downgrades the performance of the device. My iPad is a few versions old for the same r…

Why build a native iOS app? What capabilities of the phone are you utilizing? I ask because this was my experience: I just tried to download the app on my iPhone 4s and I couldn't …

These driving while high statistics are pretty error prone. There is no marijuana breathalyzer. A blood test shows traces of THC in your body from up to 30 days ago. So if you get …

Lived in Denver 5 years. Never driven to work, a pro sports game or a bar. Trains and busses have never been empty any of the times I've ridden them...which is daily

I think you're underestimating her intelligence and capabilities. Clearly she had the background and the initiative. There are super smart and dedicated people out there. She sound…

There aren't enough (sufficiently skilled) Americans to satisfy the demand for tech jobs (primarily, programming) Can you provide some proof? I hear people say this, but I'd love t…

The Related Topics algorithm needs a lot work. I search for "Denver" and the top related topic is "Gang Activity in Denver." Really? I search for "Chicago" and the entire related t…

I never said I thought equity is worthless. I said I would choose cash over equity if the equity is not weighted heavier than cash to account for the risk and illiquidity inherent …

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If market rate is $105k and you're paying me $55k in cash, then I'd want $100k in equity, not $50k. This is something many startups get…

There is a striking contrast on HN between this release and say, when Node or Rails release a new version. At the one hour point since this was posted and there are no comments. An…

Sorry, but I don't think you're right. The data shows that in east Texas, patent holders win injunctions or damages nearly 2x of the time. That's why they go to trial there. Since …

This article didn't contain any mention of the US government.

It's not SaaS if there's no code. The first "S" is software. That nit aside, the site looks nice. Good luck!
