Most definitely - we love honesty. Can you flesh out your comment a little? I think most businesses have problems getting traction to start out - what specific challenges are you s…

Great feedback. You can press esc to exit the nudge dialog - we purposefully made it hard to exit because we wanted people to engage in seemingly silly questions, because in our ex…

The URL is http://beta.monsterlumen.com , and I'll be sticking around in the comments to get your feedback!

Hi Hn, A buddy and I worked on this prototype to see if we could design a system that helps people think creatively. I'd love your feedback, tips and pointers - and yes, I know it'…

Please, please fix "I am a good writer, the content that I create is quiet good (I think)". That's the first line of your paragraph about gramatical oversights, and you say "quiet"…

I agree. I can't help but feel that MIT's brand is being terribly tarnished. It certainly wasn't worth it.

I would imagine they would give the digital good away for free, and add it as a separate line-item in checkout, so vat would be 15% of $0.

I think the average InstaCart customer doesn't realize that per-item prices are higher. I didn't.

I noticed you guys used the same form UI as Barack Obama's donation page. I like it!

I agree with most of what you said. Sharing needs to be #1 to have viral growth. Large audiences are required for IAP and Advertising to make sense (I'd also add freemium to that l…

What stops other investment firms from making identical blanket investments, or how do you guys plan to stop that?

This is patently not true, and a very low-value article. Pay per use has been around just as long as SAAS, and most businesses prefer knowing what they will pay rather than getting…

What's the difference between your site optimizer and cloudflare's optimization?

That's an interesting powerpoint at the bottom of the techcrunch article. I see your argument that slower page loads leads to less engagement and higher bounce rates, and I'm somew…

I think you missed my point. I'm saying that fizzbuzz is very, very unlikely to be something you should use for evaluating someone's experience. What I'm pointing out is a fundamen…

Yip. I wonder if it makes more sense to focus on bd (for hn, this was building the YC brand) once you reach some measure of product market fit... Very interesting observation.

A better metaphor would be those things happening and your boss saying "solve fizzbuzz in 10 minutes or we'll fire you". (or we'll fire you == not getting the job/failing the inter…

I have to agree with this one. It sounds absolutely crazy that the average engineer can't write fizzbuzz during an interview. But if you take a second and think about it, how the h…

Done.

Thanks for that feedback - I'll add a "tour" section in the near future.

If you're interested in doing this for your work life, check out my startup: www.impacttrail.com . We're currently in super early MVP, but it's open to the public.

I think they would have done better to design a dongle for keys instead. People are already used to keyfobs.

Context is what matters here. You're a terrible programmer for established businesses building products they know people want (so it has to be rock solid and easy to maintain/upgra…

If you try to sell this to the distributor, either they'll clone it, buy it outright or ignore it.
