ssing··on Instacart Launches Costco
In Portland you can use http://www.indigomart.com/costco-products/ I had added limit Costco & Bob Red Mill products few months back and I can try to meet your needs. Try us out.
ssing··on I'm disappointed by Instacart
This is quite common for Dish Network. They keep on increasing the price of some additional channel (in my case B4U music) that I have subscribed even if you have 2 year commitment.
ssing··on I don't learn anything on HN anymore, bring back the upvote count
Nowdays I just don't read beyond the first few comments. Request to please bring back the upvote count.
ssing··on Fighting to Shut Out the Real India
At the same time lots of Indian's currently staying in US are migrating back to India. There used to huge difference in earning but the gap is now narrowing down.
ssing··on HN: I'm building a TC alternative. Will you share your startup's story with me?
Send you a mail about my startup (http://doosracricket.com) Best of luck on your new venture.
ssing··on Ask HN: I am having a competation from bigger player. Please advice?
I am also counting on it but the rewards Yahoo is providing to the winners is huge and will draw lots of attention.
ssing··on Ask HN: How is my app doing?
Not thinking of generating money right now. The main goal is to get the visitor returning on there own without pushing(notification) and ads.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Sorry it was a mistake on my part. I saw that I was missing the word private before the contest. Will address it.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Thanks the encouraging feedback. Will work on fixing the UI.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Thanks for the feedback. You don't have to register to join the contest. The idea was to show a preview of the contest before joining, hence those extra clicks.

On your "Start a Contest" page, why don't you add Flags of countries which one can drag and drop to make a match. I think you meant "Start a Private Contest". This feature will help you create only instance of the current contest for your private network. You cannot add or delete matches.

ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
I am from India but currently in Portland, US. In the past I used to skip office to watch cricket match. Now I mostly follow it through cricinfo.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Cricket has also evolved. Now they have 20-20 which is fast and less time consuming. Also, test matches (5 day match) has more results than in the past.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Thanks for detail insight. Will keep me busy during the holidays. Integration with Facebook is definitely in pipeline. Was thinking of rewarding the winners but wasn't sure if it would be legal. Had asked HN few days back and currently it is on hold. The discussion is at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2017757
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Please try it out. I created a "Test Contest for HN users"
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
I just checked it again. Looks ok to me. Any one control in particular. Any one else seeing the same issue.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.
Thanks. Agreed on the design that it needs improvement. Could you please elaborate little more. Might be able to fix few. Will replace the Facebook box with a button.
ssing··on Ask HN: Please review my webapp.

Will I be covered if I add similar text on the Eligibility page/section on my app. Is there anything else that I need to consider.

ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
Thanks for the detail insight.
ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
Could you please elaborate why you consider it gambling or betting. All I am doing is picking the obvious winner from the participants and rewarding him for his expertise. Also I am not charging any money for participation. I am just trying to get more information to make the decision.
ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
It is hosted in US and winners could be outside the country. Either way it seems scary. May be just dump this feature. But again there are mixed responses.
ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
The rewards is only for predicting the outcomes of the matches. But heard from friends that you need to check the legal aspect of it. Got concerned and wanted to double check and get HN user's feedback.
ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
I asked this question yesterday but it was kind of late and didn't get complete information. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014626
ssing··on Ask HN: Is it legal if my webapp rewards the winners with a gift certificate
Thanks. Actually the winner may be in different countries
ssing··on Ask HN: Current top post does not have option to add comment.
Thanks.
ssing··on Ask HN: What are you thankful for?
I am thankful to my belief that it still hasn't given up that I will make big one day.
ssing··on Ask HN: Not many apps released as the part of November startup sprint.
Thanks to "secos" for starting the November startup sprint that helped us(me) to be more focused and work towards the goal.
ssing··on Ask HN: Not many apps released as the part of November startup sprint.
I should have started with my status. I released mine yesterday but only to my friends. Will wait to get there feedback before announcing it on HN which might take couple of weeks.
