It depends I think how much money, how often and in exchange for what. If you are paying out big amounts in exchange for "labor" (e.g. paying freelancers who do work for other user…

Blog spam. Here is the direct link to the demo on github: http://dangercove.github.com/html5-notifications/

Address it early with people who need to know (direct team and people who work with this person frequently). Be honest without going into too much detail. If people press for detai…

The best blogging platform is the one you'll use. It sounds silly, but what it means is forget about any that take a bunch of time to set up or maintain. I think fully hosted solut…

My best advice is to find sites you like with similar functionality to what you need and try to find out who did those. Often companies will share who they used. If it is an intern…

Basically, it is saying use the twitter model, not the email model. Let people choose what to receive and encourage them to publish everything globally (yes, with private messages …

So many problems. If this is for geeks, why would I pay telegram to do what basically any static page cms does? If this is for normals why call it a cms? In either case, why the co…

This is the part that got me: Written in PHP, so literally anyone can contribute, even if they have no idea how to program. Even babies and dogs can contribute

You say you are an average coder. How are you as a writer?

This is in response to another blog post that was floating up hn recently. The title of that other post is the origin of the "fucking janitor" thing. In my opinion it is not worth …

Sure. Think about how this works outside of the internet. The fact that we have multiple grocery stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, etc means that someone is copying someone…

"Evil" is overstating it I think. Murder is evil. Cutting into a business's margins for promotional reasons is just business. And it is totally voluntary for the restaurants-- no o…

What should you look for? A lawyer. Any smart company has legal counsel. They probably won't be offended if you also have legal representation, especially if you explain that you a…

What percentage of your customers is this? If it is 1% then you probably want to refund them and close the account. If it is 20% then your company is the problem. Or you are missin…
