redgrange··on Why most African countries are not prospering
European countries created African country borders without an understanding (or care) of the culture and relationships/feuds between a whole continent of people. They put these people together in countries and flipped all of that long history upside down.

redgrange··on Interfaces – The Most Important Software Engineering Concept
As far as the S/W engineering take away -- simply put, an interface allows two disparate pieces of code to work together. One compiled piece of code, for example, can interact with another piece of code, which could be written and compiled years after the initial.
redgrange··on Star of “Startup.com” Charged with Accounting Fraud
I think you're thinking of the wrong thing. govWorks was more of a digitization of traffic ticket payment/appeal, property registration, and other minor government admin processes. You must be thinking of Startup Junkies, which was a series on MoJo - a former/original HD channel.

why? downhills are free.
redgrange··on Show HN: Stressed and burned out, so I created my first app – Remember Win
Great idea. It seems like something that would be incorporated in Facebook given it's ostensible goal of documenting your life. Perhaps they'll even hear about your idea and release a "new Achievements" feature in the coming months. Have you considered building your own on top of their api/platform to increase the "virality" of remember win?

redgrange··on Ask HN: Pitching cross-promotion partnership
Thanks. We are on opposite coasts of the US so meeting up will not be that feasible--at least to start.

I like your latter idea though. Essentially build it and say that just just a commit button away from our side of cross promoting and will be happy if they did x, y, or z for us. I guess our urgency might speed things up. One the other side, would that kind of approach come off as cocky and presumptive?

redgrange··on Ask HN: Pitching cross-promotion partnership
They could build it. However, we are currently the dominant player in the field. It took us over a year to build it with a three man team. It's also a data intensive SaaS and it would require that same amount of time to collect the data that's needed to make sales. I think it's 1 or 2 people running other other SaaS.
