itsybaev··on Ask HN: Uber for Everything - who wants to join our beta testing in SF Bay Area?
As Paul Graham tweeted: "Will ownership turn out to be largely a hack people resorted to before they had the infrastructure to manage sharing properly?" https://twitter.com/paulg/status/323875236225363968

itsybaev··on Money matters: why women founders struggle in Silicon Valley
imho, your example is not very good, because VCs don't give funding preferably to those with male names. According to the article VCs just "can’t see the world from a woman's perspective". Then the question is why VCs don't hire more female experts if they "can’t see the world from a woman's perspective".
itsybaev··on Money matters: why women founders struggle in Silicon Valley
I just can't get why that has become an issue. What's the difference between male & female founders? Is there any discrimination of the female founders or not? If not, so why is it harder for the women to get funding?
itsybaev··on Ask HN: IRA funds and 401(k)s as your startup funding source?
Then I wonder why it's a "creative way" according to the article)

itsybaev··on Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code
well.. I've worked in Exxon Mobil for a while, now own a successful business and also CEO in a startup. Your point of view is acceptable for some small companies and startups, but if the company goes bigger, everyone just can't do everything, it's a chaos and loss of concentration.
itsybaev··on Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code
Basic accounting class is equal to the basic computer class. You'll learn just very general things like "this is computer and here's what it does"
itsybaev··on Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code
There should be a specialization: some people are specialized in coding, others - in something else. A group of specialists together is better than a group of those who can do several things just not too bad.
itsybaev··on PHP has reached its limit
It's not about what instruments to use, it's about how to use them. PHP is definitely not dead and won't die soon.
itsybaev··on First Picture of an Atom's Shadow
Interesting. When I read the title, I was curious about the practical use of that photo until I read that this would lead to study DNA inside living cells.
itsybaev··on Ask HN: how many posts a day is OK to submit on HN?
Learning always takes some time, right? You've been here for 2 years , while I've registered just 18 days ago (started posting on HN about a week ago). I was a bit obsessed with karma accumulation, at the same time I was learning the community. Reading a lot daily I often find interesting articles or news, that I'd like to share with others. Don't blame me for my passion, I've already realized myself being overposting. However that has helped me to figured out fast what's interesting for people here. I'd say that was my small marketing research which gave me quick results. So now I want to step back a while, as you've said.
itsybaev··on Ask HN: how many posts a day is OK to submit on HN?
You're right. I think it was an addiction in some way, because I often received points for my posts (usually 2-5 points and several times I got 30-60) and kinda liked that.
itsybaev··on Ask HN: how many posts a day is OK to submit on HN?
wow! How many have you posted daily before?
itsybaev··on Ask HN: how many posts a day is OK to submit on HN?
Thanks a lot. I'll limit myself to 1-3 posts then.
