I've never really understood the desire to "save" on lawyer costs up front. Lawyer money is the cheapest money you'll ever spend, if you use it right. Having a lawyer set up your c…

Honestly, as a collector with 16 years of collecting under my belt, I can tell you this does not happen very often. I do have a few things that I paid hundreds for that are now wor…

Well, kind of, except that's not really right. A Gallery usually represents an artist in a specific area. For example, in the US it might be that a gallery represents an artist in …

Honestly, if you're doing it in an 1800sqft studio custom built for exactly that process, it's not that hard. I spent a weekend doing it in what was essentially a 50sqft bathroom a…

Honestly, this seems a tad self-aggrandizing. I've done wet plate before, you can learn it in an afternoon, it's really not that hard. If you can't find someone to teach you there …

Hiring fast is actually really important. It sets a really good tone with candidates and forces you to have a hiring process with good decision points and processes. At Voxy we had…

There's a small pop-up style flash, but you are right, no mounting for an external flash.

As I've gotten older, I'm 41 now, this has become a higher and higher priority for me, because I realize once you slip it's harder to come back. I recently changed jobs and one of …

A while back (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1262467) scottru posted a Google speadsheet for HN contractors. I was curious, did anyone who posted there get a contracting gig o…

Have to disagree about place of incorporation. Investors may not care but you should. Delaware should always be your choice. Delaware is very company friendly with laws and procedu…

Yeah, IANAL but my guess this is pretty illegal in most states. If it wasn't you'd be seeing a lot more companies doing it.

Interviewing is a two way street, or at least it should be. If the interviewers don't want to be interviewed it's a bad company. To that end here are some points I'd like to add (I…

I was in a start-up in the health insurance industry (we just got acquired by a much larger company). While I agree there are some opportunities, mostly in the areas of information…

Great, super easy to use. Liked it a lot. couple of suggestions: 1. White labeling - Let me get rid of the logo at the top and replace it with my own. Similar on the domain, maybe …

Freelancing while trying to run a start up can be extremely tricky, I know, I've done it. I often found myself burnt out from client work (the work I didn't really want to do) whic…

Wouldn't this also have an impact on ad heavy sites, even if the ads load after the content?

I can easily see a use for this. I'm doing a pro bono project for a small non profit, and part of the project requires generating simple PDF reports. They don't have any money so w…

I have a number of candidates I have to interview over the next two weeks and it's been a while since I've interviewed anybody. In the past one of my favorite tests for candidates …

Find a generator, some beer, and some snacks and finally try to get through all those video games I don't have time for now. Oh, and get a shotgun just in case the rest of you come…

I'd throw luck in there too. A little luck goes a long way.
