I find this title misleading. What this post describes is a 2-of-3 multisig, which adds further encumbrances in constructing a valid transaction. But any transaction, once broadcas…

I'm building something on top of Hangouts, and I had an exchange that this reminded me of. I was finally connected with a developer evangelist, and I sent an email saying something…

Do you have a link that elaborates on N. Zaka's architecture?

Can you allow sorting of movies by rating? That's what I'd need to use it as a discovery engine.

I agree with a lot of the points this article makes. What worked for me was to have a co-founder who basically handled everything that was not coding.

I installed two of these in my house. One of the best uses of money ever :)

I've heard really good things about Braintree.

If you're just at the "idea stage", then no one is going to steal your idea. If you've progressed further and have some traction, some lessons learned in customer acquisition chann…

What I would find more important than a comparison of technical features is a comparison of their active communities. How many people are using each project, how active is developm…

As someone who has run a company for a decade, there are several meaningful inflection points: * Becoming cash flow positive (aka Lift) is wonderful and stress relieving. * Becomin…

I was suffering from RSI for a few months, and nothing seemed to work. I tried rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and acupuncture. Then I read http://www.amazon.com/I…

Being married is one thing; having kids is another. As an entrepreneur with two young children, I know it's hard to keep a balance. The hard part isn't necessarily the limited numb…

I'm torn by the prospect of a technological solution to aging. On one hand, I certainly don't want to get old and die -- at least, not on nature's time table. On the other hand, if…

Hey Jonathon, What kind of projects are you looking to have people work on? And/or what skill sets of are looking for?

To add an opinion: the most important factor in a team's productivity isn't the process, it's the quality of the developers.

What's annoying is this isn't the real issue. Of course Samsung felt threatened by the iPhone, and set out to copy the aspects of it they liked. That's how capitalism works. The re…

I recently had an experience that dovetails with this article. This summer, I moved my family over to London for two months. I intended to work while there, but I was having RSI is…

Most popular server-side languages seem to be dynamic, duck typed (Ruby, Python). Which are great for writing short code, but difficult to maintain. I have lots of experience with …
