working on it.
danielha··on Why the lucky stiff Wikipedia entry page to be deleted
This is one of the worst top articles I've seen yet on news.yc.

Thanks guys

danielha··on Valley's wunderkind
"While Facebook has a global following, several youth-led start-ups are getting buzz in the valley. Their very names, too, reflect this digital age: Loopt, Scribd, Tokbox, Xobni, Box.net, WeGame, Weebly and YouNoodle."

Half of those are YC funded, yo.

danielha··on Chatterous works better than Twitter on mobile
Works perfectly for me.
danielha··on Disqus - After 5 Days on Disqus, I’m Turning Back to Wordpress Comments
Hey Ryan, I responded to your comment here: http://ryanspoon.com/blog/2008/05/15/disqus-after-5-days-on-...
danielha··on Ask YC: Review my startup
purely coincidental
danielha··on Dividing equity
That options pool is ridiculously huge.
danielha··on Is AJAX On The Way Out?
The author clearly does not know what "ajax" is. It may be a misnomer and a buzzword, but what it means is something substantial.

This article is so, so bad.

danielha··on Ask PG: Shall we ban Techcrunch articles?
More room? Is there some submission/day limit I'm not aware of?

It might be that most read TC, and it might also be true that most read it through here.

danielha··on Ask YC: What tools do you use for notifications of server/site uptime?
We use Pingdom (http://pingdom.com)

Simple but it works.

danielha··on New Type of Early Stage Investment Firm
Wtf, their tagline is "apps for equity."

So sketch

danielha··on Launch: Silicon Valley
I received an unsolicited, ahem, "invite" email. The invite asked me to submit an exec summary...
danielha··on Startup Failure Rates — The Real Numbers
There needs to be some line drawn to what is considered a startup. Incorporating is one of the bare minimums. Before that, it's called a startup idea.
danielha··on Nickb, Are you okay?
Damn I regret not jumping on that joke. Missed a ten pointer opportunity.
danielha··on Ask YC: Where is YC News hosted?
softlayer ftw (most of the time)
danielha··on Where do you go for news when you've read all posts on the YC frontpage?
Read less, do more
danielha··on Matt Maroon: Startup School 2008
Matt was referring to one of the slides toward the end (23:49).
danielha··on Tell YC: Thanks for Startup School
Thank you Jessica and Paul for organizing this!
danielha··on BusinessWeek: Tech's Best Young Entrepreneurs
Wait, what? Of course you look at the size of your market. How is that a bad thing?

I'm not sure why you are poo-pooing Etsy's business. It serves a need and the company makes money.

danielha··on BusinessWeek: Tech's Best Young Entrepreneurs
Congrats to dhouston! http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/04/0418_youngtech_entp/...

(One of the founders of SFP07 company Dropbox, for those not in the know).

The article failed to mention his rock band skills.

danielha··on Tumblr security hole (the gaping kind)
Uh yeah. You must be part of the same marketing team that advises car manufacturers to stage huge vehicle safety recalls. That'll really get the customers knocking.

Tumblr has a great but small team, just like most of us on this site. As someone who makes mistakes, I offer them empathy and sympathy.

danielha··on Tell YC: Summer 08 decisions out
Congrats to everyone that got an interview! Get a prototype/demo working and be impressive. Y Combinator is life changing -- good luck. :)

For those not participating, you can still join a growing YC startup. Disqus is actively growing the team: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=158091

danielha··on College Board drops AP comp sci & latin for racial diversity reasons
I went to high school in the Silicon Valley. AP Computer Science was a course offered to upperclassmen. It was discontinued the year I had intended to take it.

Instead, one of the new classes offered that fall was a dance class.

danielha··on After "a year and a half of study, discussion, and hard work" BU unveils new logo
This article is one of the most hilarious things I've read today.

Yes, tiny tweaks it is. They removed a line.

danielha··on Disqus Gets VC Funding, Releases v2 and Kicks Competitions' Ass.
When it comes from a VC. :)
danielha··on Ask YC: How do you read YC?
Command+L, 'n', tab, enter

at sporadic intervals throughout the day. Many times it's just something to keep my fingers moving while I'm thinking. I usually just glance through the headlines and move on. I try to only read noncritical news in the morning when I wake and later at night.

danielha··on Are you on twitter?
http://twitter.com/danielha

holler @ me.

Also subscribe to the RSS of your company name (or keyword of choice) at http://terraminds.com/twitter. My favorite Kirigins have Tipjoy on that badboy.

danielha··on Dropbox launches (YC summer 07)
I was just joking. They most definitely were not at SXSW.
danielha··on Dropbox launches (YC summer 07)
Can you go by again and take a pic?
danielha··on An iPhone interface for Hacker News
Ok, this seriously rocks. Thanks Ashwin!

I'd like to make an iPhone interface for Disqus in the near future. Any pointers to nice resources?
