I can't disagree with much you've said. I was born and raised in San Jose. For most of my life, San Francisco was always been the place I thought was fun to visit, but didn't want …

$1M at a $3M pre with a $12M acquisition means I'm getting a 3X return on my investment. Now that's certainly better than losing it altogether, but I think almost all angels would …

Good news for some startups. Not any that are looking for investors. At that average acquisition price, most investors would be disappointed.

It has nothing to do with jobs programs/corporate welfare. Remember there were security people before the TSA (just not as many) and the TSA was created in the post-9/11 panic. Thi…

How long before child molesters realize what a "great gig" it is?

And likely to end your trip quit quickly & prematurely.

This came up in a thread a while back ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1483667 ). Bottom line is that "MM" comes from the banking/finance world. In banking, $3M actually means…

Finally! They should have begun work on this a couple years ago. But its good to see they're finally headed in the right direction. I just hope the HTML & JS it spits out is nicer …

Maybe they're trying to reinvigorate their young & happening image in the Valley with an extended outage?

lol...had no idea anyone would find that comment so offensive.

Its a gradual rollout. You probably don't have it yet.

Sounds like someone's a little bitter about an API usage dispute and a poached employee. He brings up legitimate, but minor issues that are just a part of Twitter's growing pains. …

Yea, but users could give a crap about that. It's their official product and the default way for people to use the service. It shouldn't have rate limits on how much you can use th…

Yea, those crazy voters...engaging in a little self-masochism because they want things like police officers, firefighters, armed forces, potable water, roads, education, and social…

I consider any tax at all penalizing. Heh, so all taxes should be abolished because the government shouldn't be penalizing us for making money, right?

Exactly. People need to be able to see and identify a logo in a split second. People don't ponder over logos. Like I said up-thread. This isn't a design class.

The problem is they're trying to do both. Its half graphic, half wordmark. Nike's graphic and its wordmark can survive on their own or appear together. The same can't be said of th…

Clever to the point of uselessness. It might get you points in a design class, but in the real world, it's a stupid move. Way to help further erase your already disappearing brand.…

So if a company (or state government in your example) wants to provide health care benefits to be competitive in the marketplace, they should be penalized for that? I don't accept …

Hilarious... Fact #1: The only increase in cost for "premium plans" is the new excise tax which doesn't go into effect until 2018. Fact #2: The companies who provide these benefits…

I think its nice that they're telling employees about the change this far in advance. Most employers will tell you about this a couple weeks before the prices get jacked up or the …

Nice try, but the the excise tax on "premium" plans doesn't go into effect until 2018. So if their only motivation was taxes, they'd have waited. Furthermore, I'm not losing any sl…

Yea but like you said, since half of them are just for redundancy, they were in effect only running 2 database servers. I must say I find it stunning that a service with that much …

Filling out my patent application for the "method of typing data into a text box and submitting it to a server for storage in a database". I'll see you all in court.
