I'm not sure what kind of valuable information a start-up would get from this source. Care to explain ?

Thanks.

Truth is, the UK is certainly the most liberal country of Western Europe.

Good luck trying to get your business (startup or else) in France for example.

>But its primary use will be international expansion

EMEA? APAC? I guess both, and it'd be nice in Europe.

>Shitty IT departments

There you go.

Isn't there any voice recognition software able to detect stuttering, tone change (I'm a pro at that), irregular rhythm and the likes ?

That'd be a really interesting challenge to have to keep your speech in a fast paced yet balanced and clutter free fashion.

Data, not metrics.

Data is facts, it's not opinionated.

Metrics, on the other hands are built upon data but are often carrying an agenda with them, they're political (whether it's office or nation politics) tools.

Our Fizzbuzz equivalent would be to mess with some HTML / JS and ask the interviewee to spot what's the issue. Or playing with a spreadsheet software to highlight stuff (pivot table, filters, duplicates, whatnot).

Hacking startups ? Is there such a thing ?

I think that's an excellent opportunity for the EU scene to rise and gain leverage now.

Let's not fool ourselves here, we might be friends we're not family though. I'd rather 'trust' an EU company with my data than a US one.

Hopefully that economic punishment might be enough to wake up your high ups, but if not it's still good for us.

We can't let you have all the fun in one place.

Oh boy, looks gorgeous.

FOSS needs more of this kind.

You didn't get the memo ? There's no such thing as a single we anymore.

>Building on top of these platforms [...]

Relying on an other business (platform, as a customer, [...]) for more than 25% (33, 50 your call)of your revenue is risky no matter the industry.

Relying a 100% is stupid.

I was about to say you'd fit well in Europe, then I saw you are a Brit. My comment still holds, if you see what I mean ;)

It's really something cultural I guess but I can only feel the same way as you do.

I feel for you mate, you're worth more than that.

Hugs As A Real Person.

>they made 60K for about 20 minutes of work.

Did I misread that ? If not, it's just insane.

When there's no sanity left I guess. Or maybe when some blood has been spilled (but it'll start over again soon).

Ahah, thanks oh glorious USofA for ... the laugh at least.

Oh and seriously, they have a lot of nerve.

Group thinking is not bad, as long as we're defining group : (small) set of people with lot of common characteristics, goals (if applicable). The opposite of the "mass" which usually is a large set of people whom highest common denominator is to be human.

The question is whether HN can be considered a group or a small mass =)

Plus you have to keep in mind the average pov will be biased in a different way than let's say marketing101.net.

I'm not sure how it could have been more interesting.

The success story ? The happy ending ?

France, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Poland, (etc ...) what's the difference when you're not from the EU ? =)

Oh, hi Minitel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel), long time no see.

Props to you lads for the hard work. Don't let the naysayers drag you down.

Yeah obviously, but my main point is that the world would be better if we were less apathetic.

I don't trust any government, but I don't trust my group of fellows citizens either. Check out Gustave LeBon :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crowd:_A_Study_of_the_Popul...

If the citizens of the US of A really believed in their right to Privacy and the rest of nice stuff provided by their Constitution, they should already be at war with their current government.

(Exaggerated obviously, you get the point)

You know what happened to dinosaurs, don't you ? Poof

I never said they were all the same. Given a specific need / situation, I'm sure one OS will be better fit than the others. Ie : serving web content, playing AAA games (although it might change soon), and so on.

Regarding your point on distros, I think it is, excuse me, a bit off : while you certainly are an advanced Linux user, you need to keep in mind most of the computer userbase will certainly not be as confident as you to install tricky packages in CLI .

The UI is there to ease your work, not to hinder you, especially when you are part of the 90% of users which consider a computer as nothing but a tool.

Don't overdo it mate. I don't think there's a globally superior OS out there in the market.

Each has its own pros and cons.

And yes, your comment sounds really condescending : "masses, ignorant".

The other difference worth noticing is that albeit being a bit unclear, Amazon's Prime is far to be as shady as JustFab's darkpattern since there's a huge modal window popping during the order.

If you are the owner, then it totally makes sense to not count your hours since you reap what you sow. If you're nothing but an employee (without any incentives such as stocks), I don't see why you would continuously do overtime.

And as another user said, if your employees need to continuously do some overtime, there's a bigger issue underlying.

Had quite a laugh at enlargeYourContainer.

Any plan to release a way to export the drawing in a json object (or any other data structure) ?

Props to you anyway.
