ferostar··on I built a better Google. It was easy.
Although i don't personally think that this project (nor the way it was presented here) is worth much, we have to agree that we are now in a place where limiting search results is relevant and filtering content will be more and more important as years go by and the information continues to increase at this rate.
ferostar··on Cheddar is For Sale
This might be considered off-topic, but i find the VentureBeat post about Cheddar's sale (http://venturebeat.com/2013/01/05/cheddar-for-sale/) really sad . The app is called a "cult classic" among "hackers and mac fans" and there's a disclosure at the end: it was written by the wife of Seesaw's founder (where Soffes currently works).

ferostar··on Tell HN: Buenos Aires Meetup next Friday
Would love to go, but i have tickets to the Teatro Colón at that time (being wanting to go for years and there is a Wagner's opera this weekend), so it's going to be the next time for me.
ferostar··on Doing business in Argentina: A constant feeling of crisis
Great insight on human nature, or is it on argentinian human nature? Complains, complains, complains.
ferostar··on Doing business in Argentina: A constant feeling of crisis
Not that you asked me, but living here i wanted to share my two cents. Buenos Aires is not tragic at all, it's... just a little melancholic. A tiny London with poor people and too much humidity, but with great people, lovely architecture, and well, there's insecurity, no way to deny it, but it all depends on where you go. You can walk, travel, go out, party, do whatever you want and you won't feel paranoid or anything. Oh, and there aren't as many escaped nazis here as in the movies, either.
ferostar··on Doing business in Argentina: A constant feeling of crisis
Living in Buenos Aires, i have to said that the article is a big rant. Sure, let's make a complete insight about the economy of a complicated, third world country by well, touring a little bit and talking with a couple of entrepreneurs.

This country has lots and lots of issues, corruption, you name it, but is not that bad at all. In fact, it has improved a little bit since 2001. And what is even more important to this place, it has a little but important entrepreneur community (Pallermo Valley, for instance).

Perhaps, constant adversity helps people to sail agains the wind or any other cliché you might love. And don't start talking about politics without knowing, we were never one of the richest nations of the world, just a couple of very rich people that thought we did and made a couple of history books about it ;).

Didn't knew this one, thanks!
ferostar··on Ask HN: Books on hacking (Fiction)
Awesome book. Didn't read it, actually, but listened to the audio book readed by Mathew Perry. Yes, the one from Friends. Love it anyway and might check jPod, from same author.
ferostar··on Does GoDaddy register domains you search?
This is insane and a not widely known fact, this question should be upvoted.
ferostar··on Which Lisp Variant for Web Dev?
You could give Clojure a try, with Ring (an awesome library) and Compojure (a Sinatra-like framework).
