This is really interesting — thank you for building it. It seems some of the comments here are living up to HN's reputation. May that prove to be a good omen, as it has been in the…

Thanks!

This post is a good primer on PR basics. If you'd like to read more on the subject, I (also) wrote a book about startup PR with plenty of examples (and a few jokes). The Burned-Out…

If you're concerned about the way the tech industry engineers addiction by exploiting bugs in our brains, check out Time Well Spent - http://TimeWellSpent.io It's an (early-on) mov…

Agreed. The complexity feels overwhelming at times, and yet all too often isn't flexible enough to do what I want.

Hi, OP here. It was very gracious of him, but I should note that I've met Phil several times over the years (including while I was formerly a TechCrunch reporter), which I suspect …

Obviously there's a lot of demand in SOMA, but one suggestion to anyone thinking of living there: spend some time wandering around, both during the day and during the evening, and …

Thanks for posting this here, I'm a big fan of Hacker News. By the way, I'll have some free time (at least for the next few weeks), so if any HN folks have any questions related to…

I'd like to think there's more to it than that.

This line has made me laugh/driven me nuts since the first time I saw the movie — "Only the Sith deal in absolutes" is itself an absolute.

RepublicWireless.com just went live with all the details. Here's the catch (they're quite transparent about it): The phone monitors how much data you're sending over Wifi vs cellul…

I don't know the financial breakdown, but it's worth noting that Bandwidth.com — the company behind Republic Wireless — actually runs the VoIP backbone that powers Twilio, Google V…

It's feasible that Cyanogenmod will release a compatible version though, isn't it?

Hey folks, I'm a writer at TC. This wasn't about CrunchFund, it was an embargo issue.

That message sounds to me like the servers will be taken down on October 15 (not just the app, but the actual service). Am I misreading it?

"With this price, though, Amazon won't steal Apple's customers.." I think a lot of people with iPads would have been more than happy to spend half as much to get an easy-to-use tab…

I doubt Facebook would build a hardware device. Instead, I think they'll do a 'social OS' that uses Android for all the low-level stuff, but with the Google apps all replaced with …

Google allowed Facebook to import your Google Contacts via an API for years. Last fall it blocked Facebook's access to that API, saying that they'll restore it when Facebook offers…

My concern about Zynga is that they're going to burn through users. People will pay for things in a game and have fun doing it. Then they'll get sick of that game and move on to th…

In case you haven't seen it, here's an awesome story on how FB hired Chris Putnam: http://www.quora.com/How-did-Chris-Putnam-get-hired-at-Faceb... He hacked Facebook in 2005 and th…

I'm sorry you don't like the show. You seem to be in the minority, though. FWIW there are some things I think we could improve on as far as polish goes (a title/intro sequence woul…

(TC writer here) I'd say send an email, and if you don't get a response in 1-2 days send one more saying that if you don't hear back in the next 24 hours you'll probably try your l…

I'd love for someone to correct me, but this conclusion just doesn't ring true to me. They say "the world's most popular 'erotic' site for women is FanFiction.net".. and it only ge…
