okeumeni··on Twits Know: Google Quietly Laying Off Engineers
We are all capitalists at heart but I’m always baffled by this company who makes Billions of dollars, claim to do no evil and put on schemes to keep the hard earned dollar of engineers. It is a shame!
okeumeni··on Ask HN: Please provide feedback on our soon-to-launch dating site and widget
At first I went wow another dating site, then I looked at the concept: Original even though it is closer to hot or not. I think the challenge is now to sell your brand and a bit of luck. Congratulation on a lot of hard work and good luck!
okeumeni··on Carly Fiorina: Government shouldn't decide executive pay
After driving HP down the drain I don’t think Carly Fiorina is best to tell what is good for businesses.

okeumeni··on Ask YC: Feedback for our new startup
So many broken images from your badcheese.dyndns.org it's hard for me to move around.
okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
“You were talking about YC vs TechStars. Apples and oranges.” Ah, That is disrespectful to TechStars they are in the same business and it is exactly what we have been talking about, read the thread again.

I’m one founder who has great admiration for YC, but I just don’t think they have the key to startup success. I think this should be clear in all HN readers mind despite the hype around here. Ultimately it will serve the startup world very well that YC get competitors, because no matter their commitment they will not spot all future success.

okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
"They've been through a round of screening, chosen and mentored by successful entrepreneurs who do it for a living", so do TechStars companies and others.
okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
I agree that YC being the first to try out this format may give them more experience credit than anyone else. But YC do not control the brand, It does not guarantee success more than it does with let’s say TechStars, if that was the case Google would not be ahead of Yahoo.
okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
Do you think YC get good coverage from TechCrunch because YC companies are better than anyone else?
okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
What do you mean by "YC still has the brand"?
okeumeni··on Capital Factory - Austin-based YC Style Incubator
Kudos! I love Austin.

The more these YC style company exist the better chances are good startup will get exposure. Who knows the ones PG missed can actually become tomorrow’s big idea.

okeumeni··on Services Worth Paying For as a Startup
They have no companies list to show for.
okeumeni··on Rate My Startup: DomainPigeon.com
".com Checker:" must be a real pigeon; it ran forever it never came back.
okeumeni··on Ask HN: Has anyone ever gotten funding from this website?
pg had it perfect: Never pay to pitch, period.
okeumeni··on Pipl.com: people search so good it will scare your pants off
This stuff is SCARY!!

I have been playing around searching for people I know, I came to know that a friend of mine and a close neighbor have court records. One had his house foreclosed before and one had a misdemeanor, I don’t know what to think.

okeumeni··on Ask HN: What's a good general seed list for a web crawler
Yahoo directory is a good start.
okeumeni··on Services Worth Paying For as a Startup
" It is so low, I want to pay extra with my bill (but I won’t)."

Saying this for the only service you're actually paying for say much about what you truly believe about paying for startup services.

okeumeni··on Ask HN: Review our startup - Taxi Mogul, a persistent browser game
This is one of the best review I have seen in a long time on HN, Harsh and constructive. Take it with a positive mind and go back to you drawing board and remake it for the better.
okeumeni··on Some things need to change
It has destroyed a whole lot too; depending of what side of the fence you are you should be able to recognize this too. They rush to say something nasty about a startup but most of the time will say something nice about startups in their friend circle.
okeumeni··on Critique My App: yourmuni for easier bus riding in SF and soon other places
Between the ‘pick a direction’, ‘pick a stop’ and displaying the actual time, if you could show some location graphic it would be nice. Also I will suggest you use Google Maps or any similar service to give it some colors. Great idea!!!
okeumeni··on Ask HN: Is there room for another photo sharing service?
On HN Downmods are not always reasonable; you get downmod mostly because the witch-hunt folks don’t recognize your ID. If you look carefully you will see people getting Upmod for no apparent reason. I guess there’s some sort of club or circle whatever you want to call it. I stop worrying about karma long ago.
okeumeni··on Ask HN: Review my site - RepSheet.com - Look up your elected representatives
Look very nice. I don’t live in Chicago so its hard for me to come up with an address besides the one you have on the page as sample. I should be able to type a zip code only, an official name or a city name to get information as well. I think that information isolate enough an area for you to perform a meaningful search.
okeumeni··on Ted Linden, 1938 - 2009
Sorry for your lost Greg. Nice to share your story it’s inspiring.
okeumeni··on Beautiful zip code visualisation
Nice work, I have been reading Ben Fry work, great source of inspiration. I recommend Processing.org.
okeumeni··on How the fuck is trim in Python?
Respect goes both ways, if you expect some you should start by giving.
