A better database.

Wicked! Where can I buy one? :-)

I looked at the new ones and just didn't pick it up. (I did see it later.) I think I was expecting the original title.

First, for this gift card thing, where is distribution and SOM? Those are cornerstones and as my Mama always said, "Bridges without cornerstones are fally." I'm not saying the guys behind it have do…

It's not "proof by fiction" but a parable. He and Warren have always traded based on fundamentals, and he's saying the fundamentals got lost along the way. It's a fair point.

This is my submission and I looked as much as I could. Not only does YC have no dupe check, there's no search either.

There's one factor the author forgot: persistence. The best programmers I know are also friends of mine. But I pay them to do work for me. I could ask them to join me as a co-founder, but they would…

If we don't get the good ones, we'll get the bad ones.

Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth …

I'm really excited about this. But it won't be actually 'revealed' until Wednesday.

I pretty sure he was being sarcastic. YC has always had a penchant for poppy, Hanson-esque startups, but this one is flat-out embarrassing. They turned down CouchDB but picked up a gift card exchange…

An update from two months ago says this: "Better Place and Renault are bringing sustainable transportation to Denmark and Israel, beginning in 2011"

It happens all the time and it's a great business model. There have been a lot of successes with this. I'm shocked it doesn't happen more often. There's no moral imperative saying it's "bad". In fac…

Yeah, right.

Oh, it's going down. But the United States is doing this by keeping everone who might commit a crime in jail. And that's expensive. As the depression deepens, you'll see states start to close down…

In a word: cool.

1. There's consensus that evolution is a valid theory. It doesn't mean every scientist is on board. That would be impossible. 2. If you say the world is flat or that evolution doesn't exist -- if …

Thanks. I didn't see that. Interesting that I'm not alone. After they felt free to use my email contacts and frequency to seed their own social network, I feel I can't trust them anymore.

Take a look at this; I submitted it a couple days ago and found it very interesting: http://thepowergeneration.blogspot.com/2009/09/hydrogen-chal... If you had other ships carrying away the generate…

It's about time. India has everything going for it and I'm excited to see what this will produce. Congratulations!

Ok, listen up, HN. I love this community because you're smart and ambitious, but we need to have a talk. The Winter Olympics (& World Cup) are coming up. If we're lucky and live beyond our life …

I rarely look at startup advice; I've been inured to it after so long. But this was good. Very good. Thanks.
