motocycle··on Ask HN: What is your company doing for GDPR compliance?
By 8-person-months of labor time, you mean 4 people working on it on a quarter-time basis for the next 4 months?

Deadline is May 25 2018 which is less than 4 months from now. I'm planning this and talking with various consultants right now. Happy to share the details if anyone is interested.

motocycle··on How to get gmail.com banned (2011)
to deal with similar problems, kickstarter built a pretty useful tool called rack-attack https://github.com/kickstarter/rack-attack
motocycle··on Free vector-based Logo
Interesting -- a different approach from http://squarespace.com/logo. Hope you guys will build a community that will share techniques because right now it seems more difficult to put a consistent logo than using squarespace's tool.
motocycle··on Show HN: Real-time Fare Estimate Comparisons for Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, and Taxi
At this range, the estimate can be wildly inaccurate. For example, there may be a maximum distance imposed, say 60 miles at about $120 http://orangecountylyftcoupons.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/how-...
motocycle··on We've dropped our minimum investment To $100
love the console message! and congrats!
motocycle··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
That makes sense. All the best. I will be keeping out on your site let my school contacts know
motocycle··on I didn't get into YC – here's my project
nice homepage. i love the text on the mission page actually. why nonprofit? can you try selling this to schools? my team also embrace the "learn by writing" concept and recently launched www.dailythem.es -- we are reaching out to English as a Second Language students and schools in Asia to develop something more classroom specific because teachers just don't have time to grade enough students' essays
motocycle··on We're going to send out invitations to YC interviews close to midnight
maybe it's good that it's not easy to go get alcohol at this time of the night (3am east coast)
motocycle··on Ask HN: YC in SF or TechStars in NYC?
A great bonus from TechStars NYC program this year: http://www.businessinsider.com/techstars-new-york-is-moving-...
motocycle··on Tell HN: Developers please don't do anything weird on log in pages
Agree. But alas this is pretty common nowadays.. Try Groupon's login page, you'll get email address not found error with any unregistered email addresses
motocycle··on STFUDD
Sure, there are some productivity benefits of the "STFU and start writing something" part, but this post itself has a few contradicting points. If everything is wrong in some context, why should i care about writing README and tests first at all times? Say when starting a project using a new language, I don't bother writing tests because I know I'll probably revisit for a rewrite soon enough, and by then my tests will be better. It worked better for me this way. How did I know that? Hmm sometimes I stopped and asked myself what approach to take so I just STFU & take the same approach later. Oops that violated STFUDD in the first place :)
