Basically every independent game developer.

I'll probably be going

This is genius... seriously.

I'd pay $20 for that.

I think the solution is pretty simple... just be transparent and say for security reasons you can't reveal whether or not the user exists.

I really like the new division system this time around. I thought I was good, but got utterly crushed last time! HuK commentated my match though, which was amazing (even though he made fun of me).

I'm trying to sign up, but it is rejecting my twitter username.

I am really, really bad with names -- even more so on Hacker News where the names are grayed out...

But jacquesm is definitely one of the few that stuck with me. You will be missed!

Do angel investors seriously give terms like "you can have this convertible note, but only if you don't already have a convertible note from Yuri"?

What rational reason would an angel investor have to avoid investing in a company that has taken this investment?

Heroku was acquired for ~$250 million

"$150,000 in convertible debt. With no cap and no discount."

On Mac OS X, spacebar means "page down" in web browsers. I was pretty surprised when I couldn't use it on this site.

And 2x bigger than that on the iPad please :)

I think it's safe to say all YC companies have a website.

I think that is how the guy signed his email, hence "The Russian" moniker.

Not sure if I parsed your comment correctly, but I'd just like to clear up that it was my understanding that that's the official button you're supposed to use, not a ploy to drive people through PayPal by me. -humble bundle cofounder

That supports Humble Bundle, Inc. the company which made the bundle. :) Otherwise we actually lose money, but it's all good. -cofounder

This should be fixed now - (jeff from humble bundle)

I'm not sure if you guys have dealt with ISP blacklists before, but I think there is a good chance hint.io will never be able to reliably reach an inbox again. Sending emails to white-listed addresses is hard enough to get right, let alone sending to 1.5 million arbitrary email addresses.

The whole point of the article is that you use the application as an exercise, without actually submitting it.

It's simple darwinism. It is possible to mug people and escape a number of times before you get caught. Once you start mugging people and murdering them... That won't last very long.

That was the point ;)

"Once I had a cop have a chat to me about jaywalking but I've never been fined. I would be pissed if I ever was. In a fight between a car and a pedestrian the pedestrian loses (big time) so pedestrians have a higher vested interest in their own safety"

Look at how many people drive off cliffs, into trees, or into other cars when a deer runs across the road. Vested interests in safety aside, it's always dangerous to do something unexpected in traffic.

With just a few days of revenue, Notch could retain world class accountants, lawyers, and sys-admins for years. :)

Awesome! One thing that jumped out at me (especially when comparing the Vimeo / YouTube skins) is that the play buttons are not anti-aliased. I highly recommend making them inline base64 PNGs, so they look smooth as well as still being optimized.

I have been looking for a way to do this for a really long time -- Amazon supports this by adding ?torrent at the end of S3 files, however it has always been really flaky. I am really, really excited about this!

This is what I've been training for! Count Wolfire Games in.

There's two main differences for me.

a) It takes some work to create a new Google doc and set it up for sharing. Etherpad was as simple as pasting the URL.

b) Etherpad shows changes from different users with a different background color. Google Docs is invisible.

Interesting... mine was killed as well. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1539911
