talbina··on Show HN: Statwing is statistical analysis, simplified
There was a company that applied to YC that wanted to do the "Google Docs for Statistics" but was rejected. They wrote about it in a blog post but I can't find it. They ended up not launching.

It will be worth it to connect with these people to see if there is anything that can be learned from them.

talbina··on Why “just do it” is bullshit
Thank you. One the most inspirational comments on HN in a while.
talbina··on Ask HN: Advanced Forms library for Bootstrap, can't find it
It allowed markup inside the pull down so that when you hover on an icon in the pull down list, a tooltip appeared. It was much more, but this is what I remember.
talbina··on ASK HN: Are these comparison tools helpful?
OP here. This is my full-time startup.

I am having a hard time validating the idea so I decided to post it here and take a little embarrassment in the hopes of getting feedback. Excuse the domain name and the eye soar design.

Are there any other decision tables you need? I am willing to make a decision table for anyone (will take me a few days) in the hopes of getting feedback as well.

Samuel, I just wanted to let you know that you are a huge inspiration to me even though you don't know me. I remember your first post when you said you did the first version of your site while commuting on the NYC subway every day.

That small piece of info is my driving force every week as I recall how productive other entrepreneurs can be. So thank you.

talbina··on Salesforce buys Assistly for $50M in cash
No surprise here.

The software is practically flawless. I am happy for the team.

After using Assistly for thousands of hours it is dead clear to me that a complex product CAN be easy to use and have many features/customizations while being virtually bug free with excellent usability.

It's not Gruber who predicted this. Every single journalist, analyst, and Apple fan boy predicted the same.

talbina··on Ask HN: Where are the startups?
Seems to me this is relatively simple to implement. PG probably has a list somewhere. Send it to Google Spreadsheets and share the wealth. Thanks.
talbina··on TC Cribs: Inside The Escheresque Home Of Justin.tv and Socialcam
That's some fat bling rolex Justin :). Certainly not matching the ghetto office.
talbina··on Ask HN: Feedback on our "consumer analytics" startup
