http://newslinn.com (beta) Share photos of Local News with Local Journalists with a simple email in real-time - combining real-time photo validation with user authentication. (end marketing pitch) still a side project, using Python PyKE as the rules engine is anyone is familiar with that??, and socket.io, node and mongodb for the "real-time" stuff.

How is PyKE? Pros and cons? Just took a loot at the SourceForge site for it, will check it out later, but appreciate any feedback based on your use of it.

I noticed your other post the other day looking for someone to hack with in NYC. Ok, seems fair. But you're looking for a co-founder "for what"? For "a startup"? To build what? What is your passion? It's fun to say "I want to start a start up, I'll read Paul Graham and make sure not to make those mistakes, 1) Check, 2) Check..." and so on. In reality, having a marketable and economically viable idea is the key to fou…

Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I'm looking for a co-founder to start a startup. "In reality, having a marketable and economically viable idea is the key to founding a successful business." That's not 100% true. I mean, it is important, but it's not the one and only key. There's more to it than that. Here's a list of marketable and economically viable ideas that won't lead most people reading this comment have a suc…

That's the problem right there. Delusion. Everyone aspires to change the world, more than that everyone thinks that they 'can' change the world. But if you think about it from a neutral perspective, your chances are less than 0.0001%. And maybe less with your type of attitude, you might consider money as an 'evil' but its a mean to an end. You need to find a viable economical problem, work on it, develop it and then create something around it. Sitting around all day in coffee shops talking about how you're gonna change the world with absolutely no viable plan or foresight for the future is a bit pretentious in my opinion.

Plus people don't make the company, a good leader does, and one of the characteristics of a good leader is to get the most out of people around him. And that is probably the solution for 'they also leave when the solution doesn't work'.

To be honest with you, your attitude pushed my buttons, i know it shouldn't and that everyone has a different perspective to life, but thinking just by the power of 'friendship' and 'sticking together' that you could change the world, you've got another thing coming

I'm working on finding a co-founder in NYC. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10218445 Finding a co-founder is close to number 1 on the list of things a founder has to do, because the number 1 mistake that kills startups is being a single founder. Therefore learning from other people's search in finding a co-founder would be learning what to look for yourself. I can easily imagine finding a co-founder to be a star…

@the_impossible, If you don't give a snapshot of your idea, how do you expect to find a co-founder say on HN? Your post of looking for a co-founder is very general so can you be specific in what sort of expertise they need to have? Also, finding a co-founder you don't know well can lead to all sort of headaches so I'd be weary of it if I were in your shoes. All the best-

Pretty cool - anyway to be able to save the playlist to my own Spotify?

Sure, just follow the playlist and it should show up in your playlists like you made it

Heads up that UBlock on Chrome is blocking all the functionality of the Spotify content unit.

There's also no button to click to open the playlist in Spotify (maybe you could add this as a link below the embedded playlist).
