This will likely continue to be a solid strategy. As new technologies and innovations come to light new generic groups are created. Maybe one technique would be to keep track of em…

Yes and its very distracting. Girlfriends are money/time/attention pits (but I mean that in a good way).

I have first hand experience of this at my last company (as an employee). Several big name companies were sniffing around and the CEO took the initiative to actually explain in det…

True however then users have to think followed by get frustrated dreaming up a name. They already know their email address. And unless they already signed up its probably not taken…

>wrote his own programming language when he was 16... Do you mean he executed "man yacc"? ;) Thats quite a stream of serendipitous events (referring the the above blog). How does o…

Yeah, for example uniquely identifying users.

Ha! I should of known!! :)

Even though it didnt make me rich, I consider my first startup to be successful because I took it from idea to revenue.

I'm amazed that more of these are not posted to Hacker News. The solution of math problems seems to forecast innovation: ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_coloring_conjecture w…

Website looks really good. When I parsed this url http://www.fortmason.org/calendar/2008/03/week4.shtml it only listed the first event to follow the date pattern and sometimes list…

Are the images coming from flickr? Because I am getting pictures of a baseball and the word is "playing". Since the images are crowdsourced then maybe there should be an array of t…

I'm in the final round of alpha testing of an application that will do just that. Stay tuned...

I completely 100% agree! (Still love Flex though)

I don't know the cost... but I do know that parsing xml and outputting excel is not all that sophisticated. However you'll need a more concrete application of the process to get so…

A developer can really get screwed jumping into someone else's idea on faith. If you really believe in your idea then pay to outsource a prototype, then (since you are not a develo…

I live in a one bedroom apartment in SF, and have 2 mac mini's, a laptop, and two servers - all are on 24/7. Electricity is $20 per month.

Brilliant. I love this idea. Its my new backup plan.

I've got some ideas around the eInk type displays. Every now and then I send an email to the eInk guys trying to get some bulk rate pricing on their displays - 3 months now and no …

Just be thankful you have a girlfriend who's a) supportive of your startup mistress, b) can relate to your night-long bug hunts, and c) you can sleep with. Sheesh, some people get …

Personally, I like the post. Sometimes would-be entrepreneurs just need to know if they are going about it the same way others have gone about it to become successful.

I've tried the "just do it" approach in the past and now believe its nonsense. Be calculating and methodical, not impetuous. Do's/Dont's: Don't work on your stuff on employer time.…

I don't know what you have been considering doing with testing, but off the top of my head I don't know of anyone doing content A/B testing (ie: which version of content is more ef…

I'm 30 in San Francisco. For your first idea, if you are talking about website "performance survey" / "A/B" type testing then you have some wicked competition based out of SF. I ag…
