This has to be the worst advice I've seen on HN since 2008.

It assumes if idea #1 doesn't work out quitting is the best way to go. The reality is once you have even a small team of co-founders or a slightly larger one together you have a group of people who have _hopefully_ learned to work with each other well and can move unencumbered to explore and test a variety of ideas, develop insights and ultimately increase their odds of success. Sure, it's not guaranteed to work, but it's probably better than the next best alternative.

And oh, good luck just shutting down and re-rolling into a new company with investors and employees.

so you can report a message thread to fb for abuse and then contractors check the messages to verify for said abuse.

how is this news? it's the equivalent of taking a screenshot of a whatsapp thread and reporting that, doesn't affect e2e encrpytion in any way.

This looks great, how do you stack up against something like YJS?

Incredible work! I'd pay for additional packs and also for a list of artists to come up with custom ones. (was just looking for this the other day). Every B2B SaaS and consumer product on the planet either needs to pay an illustrator/designer to create these... or perhaps use your product? :)

For all the people talking about price.. it’s a cheap extremely fast computer not an expensive browser.

Lovely - you should make url reflect the slider state for easy sharing.

Wait till you see how financial markets work.

Yeah it's repeatable, all it requires is someone to short a high percentage (say 80%+) of available stock.

Interested to hear how people are using this product? I've tried experimenting with building frontend apps in a way where it's easy to see what users are doing in the past to help with research.

Designer here, yeah the visual style is pretty rad but I wouldn’t use this in practise due to how busy it all is.

Why did you build this? What are you using it for?

Watch 'The Social Network'

This is so much fun, great work!

Yup, it's pretty solid, no issues to report.

A wise ex-trader once educated me about the FITH (Food in the hallway) index. One internal measure of a companies performance.

Seems like the FITH index is on a downward trend at Dropbox.

Completely agree, it's premature optimisation!

Design is how it works, any designer working on motion design early in the lifecycle of a new product, to the detriment of focus on say, utility aren't designing. They're playing.

Interestingly OYO is selling all rooms at a loss. In an effort to build demand side market share.

A room on OYO that costs approx Rs. 1000 is purchased on a guaranteed basis from the hotel at Rs. 1500.

It's a platform, it could certainly evolve to cater for different options.

I'm surprised foursquare didn't go into payments, they have the venue data, merchant relationships, they could do what Reserve (from expa) is doing and radically improve the experience of dealing with any local business.

Booking a haircut, paying for your meal all taken care of by foursquare.

Compare yourself only to your past self. Don't beat yourself up over other peoples accomplishments. Instead focus on being a better version of your past self. Procrastination will make room for real work when you do.

It's almost hopeless to compete with others without a narrow playing field that, say, sports offers. Due to the fact that everyone has vastly different resources/talent/starting points.

Exercise. Meditate. Sleep.

Is every extra hour you're spending working really worth it? I'd figure out how to minimise the time required to accomplish tasks, defer them, delegate them and then also scrutinise the actual tasks themselves.

Once you're done with that do you still not have enough free time?

Wonder if they'll offer to buy MetaLab now.

Great work. Eventually consistent state across sessions will be the norm rather than a novel feature in a few UIs.

It's about total cost of ownership

A: Imgix = cost of imgix subscription + integration time * hourly rate (it's dead simple)

B: Rolling your own = dev time * hourly rate + maintenance/ops time * hourly rate

For most orgs B > A. For most individual programmers since hourly rate is not a factor A < B.

Large projects work too. It works with Bootstrap 3 & Foundation, for SCSS though not LESS.

Happy to jump on a google hangout to help you figure it out.

It updates as you type which makes for a completely different experience.

Might be worth speaking to Mike Lee http://mur.mu.rs of Delicious Library fame. He's started Appsterdam.

I wonder if this leak is aimed at putting pressure on Twitter to buy.
