Founder of http://Accelerat.io here. This is exactly why we started our project, we hear a lot of these stories of second and third tier accelerators doing these kinds of shenaniga…

No specific reason, didn't think of it. Got some other comments along the same line, will think about changing it, thanks!

Thanks! It's funny how you don't realize these UI problems when your so familiar with your own product. Will try to find a way that works nicely.

I agree it's can be a bit annoying, but as you mention it's a trade-off we intentionally chose for: we can only succeed when people add accelerators and reviews and this seemed a g…

Thanks! Indeed from experience so far we've gotten more positive than negative reviews. However, we did get plenty of negative/critical reviews too (including serious stuff like mo…

Wow, great feedback! Totally agree regarding average funding (it's biased and averages don't say much about distributions), I'm working on ways to get other metrics. Also love your…

Hi HN, Creator of Accelerat.io here. Just launched today and would love to get your feedback. I built this site because when I was applying to accelerators some months ago I wasn't…

I am currently involved with A/B testing for a big website and am running into some problems. I'd love to hear whether you guys here on HN have run into this type of problem? While…

Skimmed it through -- very, very useful for me! Will be using it to deploy my first real Heroku project this week. Author was also very responsive via email. For 5$ it's a no-brain…

I won't be surprised if there are only a few official Apple stores in Italy. Here in the Netherlands there is only one, and Italy is only a couple of times larger than the Netherla…

FWIW, Geenstijl (probably the largest/most known blog in the Netherlands) reported on this matter in 2010 already, here http://www.geenstijl.nl/mt/archieven/2010/06/rechter_in_zaak…

True, these are only my individual observations, but after the legislation the prices for mobile subscriptions seem to have increased. Now almost every subscription has 'unlimited …

I wouldn't say the competition is very tough in the Netherlands, as there are also only a few large players (each with multiple brands/subsidiaries under them). Furthermore, a coup…

Anybody an idea whether it can hurt to put my Dropbox folder in the GDrive folder? That way I'd have a double backup for files in my Dropbox folder.

Sent you some pics. I have some pretty badly tagged music so it's partly my fault, however Spotify did recognize some things that your app didn't. Still, really good app that I'll …

Very nice app, have been looking for this for some time as I wasn't pleased with dropbox only playing one song. However, the app doesn't recognize the names etc of most of my music…

great book! Don't wanna spam, but made a project www.whatrapperareyou.com by programming along the lines of Chapter 6 on Naive Bayesian Classifiers. Chapter 6: http://nltk.googleco…

The Yes You Can doesn't do it for me. It is confusing as for the first two blocks 'yes' and 'you' are/can be used to start the sentence of, while the third one isn't. Also when gla…
