If you do business in CA you're required to file as a foreign corporate entity, and still pay the $800 in taxes. You can't open a bank account in a CA bank without proving that you've made that filing.

It helps push Windows developers to use Ubuntu on Azure.

This is changing fast depending on the audience for your content. Some publishers are now seeing 40%+ of their traffic ad blocked. Some countries are seeing 30%+ of total population using ad block. Ad block usage is up 41% year over year...this is going to be a very serious issue very soon for many publishers.

Some of my numbers are from: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/08/10/study-of-ad-blockin...

These come up on HN all the time, and I want to defend the crunch. If you have a small group of people working on a startup where everyone knew what they're getting themselves into, and have a lifestyle that allows it, what's the big deal?

Just because you don't like working overtime doesn't mean it's the wrong thing to do.

This is exactly how I describe my sleep pattern. I just don't feel like my body has a 24 hour cycle. I'd probably be awake 20 hours and sleep 7 hours, and would end up shifting my schedule by 3 hours a day if there were no external factors (sun, work, etc).

This is the line that stood out to me as someone who misunderstands the strategy completely.

Obviously browsing the web on a TV is not a good experience. But using apps could be great. They demo'd skype and a fantasy sports app, and both look like great use cases. As we all know, the Netflix app is one of the best reasons to own a console. TV apps will happen when someone comes along with a good development environment, reasonable distribution terms, and a large volume of users.

The copy on the Rakasheets site also stood out to me as a problem. As hahla stated, your customer is likely not a hacker. The other vendors they give their money to do not say things like, "... without the suck" or "Benefits - lots of 'em."

The value of the inventory you're tracking could be a significant chunk of your customer's life savings, so I'd want to convey professionalism and trustworthiness.

Regarding copywriting in general, I've never tried it, but if you need help you might try something like https://draftin.com/

I loved Arch, but I recently bought my Mac after USB keyboards and mice stopped working on my arch box after a `pacman -syu`. I spent a week trying to figure it out, essentially putting me a week behind on the project I was working on. Decided that it'd just be cheaper to get a Mac. :(

Also, to follow up, I stumbled onto http://followshows.com/popular and that helped me understand the service better

Yeah, I also need more information before I sign up. There isn't anything that tells me about the sources of the shows, the genre/region of shows, the availability of shows I care about, etc.

I would suggest a "How it works?" section or something.

Wanted to let you know that your nav is too wide for my browser window, and one of the nav items is cut off: http://i.imgur.com/3dORK0Y.jpg

Probably a good idea to consider 960 min width.

I might recommend offering an ePub download for those that want to load onto an eReader/Tablet.

Are any of these ARM solutions open source for the full stack?

Arduino is nice because I can use it to prototype something, and then if I want to mass produce it I can take the open schematics, rip out what I don't need and produce custom boards. Is that possible with any of these ARM solutions?
